托斯卡纳
Top tourist attractions and sights in Tuscany (Italy) combine Renaissance art and rolling countryside. This region is famous for the art city of Florence, the leaning tower of Pisa, the medieval towers of San Gimignano, the shell-shaped square of Siena, and vineyards and cypress-lined hills.
一般信息
Tuscany (Toscana) is the quintessential Italian landscape: rolling hills striped with vineyards and olive groves, cypress-lined roads, honey-coloured hill towns and a concentration of Renaissance art unmatched anywhere in the world. Its capital, Florence, was the birthplace of the Renaissance, while the surrounding countryside gave the world Chianti wine, extra-virgin olive oil and some of Italy's most beautiful medieval towns. This is central Italy at its most romantic — a region made for slow travel, long lunches and golden evening light. Italian is spoken, and English is widely understood in the tourist centres.
交通方式及如何到达那里
Tuscany has two airports — Florence (FLR) and Pisa (PSA) — with Bologna (BLQ) a short train ride to the north offering more connections. Florence sits on Italy's high-speed rail line, just 1.5 hours from Rome and about 2 hours from Milan, and regional trains link Pisa, Lucca, Siena and Arezzo. To explore the vineyards, hill towns and the Val d'Orcia properly, however, a rental car is the best option, as many villages are poorly served by public transport.
价格
Tuscany is moderate to upper-priced, with Florence and the Chianti dearer than lesser-known corners. Expect roughly 90-180 EUR per night for a mid-range hotel in Florence, while rural agriturismo farm stays range widely from about 80-160 EUR. A casual trattoria meal runs around 18-28 EUR, a glass of Chianti 4-6 EUR and a coffee about 1.50 EUR. Major museums like the Uffizi cost around 20-25 EUR, and many hill-town sights are cheaper. Prices are approximate and vary by season, peaking in summer.
主要景点
Florence is the jewel, home to the Uffizi Gallery, the great Duomo with Brunelleschi's dome and Michelangelo's David. Siena captivates with its shell-shaped Piazza del Campo and twice-yearly Palio horse race, while Pisa draws crowds to its famously leaning tower. Beyond them lie the towered skyline of San Gimignano, the intact walls of Lucca, the Renaissance elegance of Montepulciano and Pienza, and the postcard hills of the Val d'Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape. Add wine tasting in Chianti and relaxing thermal springs, and Tuscany is Italy distilled.
