It is road trip season, it\u2019s undeniable. With nature at its best, everything around us still in bloom, let\u2019s be honest, heatwaves have not knocked on our doors yet, the sun is warm, most of the days, inviting us to leave home, and the only thing that we dream of is fully packed suitcases, some good company and counting kilometers, many kilometers as moving through villages, cities, hills and valleys. Oh, and some delightful music, of course!<\/p>\n

Is there really a better place for a road trip than the province of Tuscany? Either you take this trip with your loved one or your friends, you will definitely have the time of your life. Tuscany is the best choice for a road trip and to enjoy the dolce vita, while moving through spiral roads, enormous cypresses, wine tasting and food tasting in general. <\/span><\/p>\n

Andiamo\u2026 Let\u2019s go!<\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

First stop: Firenze (Florence)<\/b><\/h4>\n

The journey begins from the capital of Tuscany, Florence. You can take a direct flight to Rome or Bologna and continue from that point by taking a fast train to Florence, you will be there in less than a couple of hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

Choose to stay in the center, as the beauty of the city is, in fact, gathered there. Two days are enough to get a full taste of it. \u00a0Start you walk from the typical square including the church of Santa Maria Novella and go up to the Giotto steeple to gaze at the city from a higher level. A walk among the statues to the outstanding square of Piazza Della Signoria (one of my favorites) is essential. Next stop to the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), probably the most romantic spot in the city. As the sun goes down try to be at Piazzale Michelangelo to admire the sunset and the city of Florence painted in orange from afar. But it\u2019s time for you to jump in the car and start moving down towards the south part of Tuscany. <\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Second stop: San Gimignano<\/b><\/h4>\n

The medieval village of San Gimignano is located only an hour away from Florence, and it is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe. Even though it is highly touristic (it\u2019s the most famous village of Tuscany), it has preserved its traditional glamour. Take a walk to the central square of Piazza Della Cisterna and make a stop at the traditional gelato artigianale, the popular Gelateria Dondoli.
