Tuscany is famous for its intricate cuisine, beautiful hills and Instagram-worthy castles. It's no wonder why holidays in Tuscany are definitely on top of every travelers' bucket list.
But why travel to Tuscany? According to CNNTraveler, this place features medieval hill-tip villages just like the Montalcino and Pienza that seems to take you back in time. Here are some insider'stipss on traveling to Tuscany:
Prepare to Get Lost
When driving to Tuscany, you have to prepare for the inevitability of getting lost unless you have a "SatNav". But avoid choosing the quickest option on your GPS whenever you're in Tuscany since it will send you on white roads which are often only accessible by goats and not cars.
SatNav tends to overlook restricted traffic areas or ZTLs in medieval tops. So, if you want to avoid traffic fines in Italy, you should never rely only on your GPS and watch out for signs.
Travel Wisely
Italians tend to flock to the beaches in the summer while tourist dominates the main cities. So, if you have to travel, try to avoid the main routes and busy roads during the weekend.
Even though Tuscany is a year-round travel destination, prices tend to peak during July to August and can be very hot and crowded. Instead, you can visit during springtime and autumn, which is also great for exploring the countryside.
Visit the Hot Springs of Bagno Vignoni
It's always worth going to the natural hot springs of the Bagno Vignoni which is located on a hill in Val d'Orcia Natural Park. The best part of this is that it's free!
These natural hot springs have sulphuric scents tends to cling to your suit and is quite hard to remove. So, unless you still want to smell like hot sulfur whenever you swim, then just wear an old swimsuit or a cheap one.
