Tuscany, Italy
With its landscape, artistic heritage, medieval villages, historical towns, memorable food and wine, no other province has had more impact on Italian and European culture than Tuscany! Spring, when the flowers begin to bloom, is the best time to visit this fascinating place and to avoid the summer tourists.
On the top of the list are definitely outdoor activities as you will find lots of parks and botanical gardens.What is of interest for tourists are the sculpture parks like Chianti Sculpture Park, the Tarot Garden or the park dedicated to Pinocchio, the most famous wooden puppet in the world. The views in Tuscany in the springtime are mesmerizing and you will find many breathtaking panoramas. If you like to experience a view from the top of Tuscany, you can choose Apuan Park and you will be seduced by the marbled Alps scenery.
Tuscany has the highest number of Thermal centers in Italy. They are better than indoor spas because they are free and they offer you the opportunity to celebrate nature, while you benefit from its curative waters. Saturnia and Petriolo are the most famous natural hot springs in Tuscany.
As now it is a little bit cold for bathing, the beaches are mostly deserted being thresholds of Paradise for those who visit them during this time of the year.
You shouldn’t miss the opportunity to discover Tuscan specialties while exploring some of the most fascinating food festivals. Most of them are held in spring and the most important food-and-wine events are the Mostra del Chianti in Montespertoli and Cantine Aperte.
