Getting To Tuscany
Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the perfect place to begin your Tuscany road trip!
To get to Florence, we recommend flying into one of the large nearby international airports in either Venice, Rome, or Milan.
Remember to check out Skyscanner to find the best and most affordable flights into Italy. We use this tool to discover the best flights for our trip because you can easily compare rates.
From whichever city you fly into, you can simply take the high-speed train to Florence. This is where you will begin your road trip.
Alternatively, you can rent a car in the city you flew into and then drive to Florence.
Whether you are spending 10 days in Italy, have a little more time like 2 weeks, or are renting a car and planning an Italy road trip, all of our itineraries include a stop in Tuscany!
We highly recommend spending time exploring this beautiful region, even if it means planning another trip!
This is one of the BEST ROAD TRIPS IN EUROPE so you are in for a real treat and a memorable experience!
Getting Around During Your Tuscany Road Trip
Since this is indeed a road trip, you will be renting a car or the set of wheels of your choice for driving in Tuscany.
If you are only traveling with a backpack or if you are making Florence your home base, you may even choose to take a motorbike instead of a car.
We recommend a car as it is easy to store your belongings during the trip and makes for a more enjoyable ride.
You can rent your car in a large nearby city, or wait until you are in Florence.
It may be cheaper to rent in larger cities such as Rome and then drive to Florence for the start of your Tuscany road trip.
Keep in mind that renting a manual transmission will usually always be cheaper than an automatic one when renting in Europe.
It is the law to use your headlights at all times when driving in Italy. Make sure to have them switched on before you leave.
Finally, some of the roads you may drive on during your time in Tuscany will be toll roads.
Make sure to come prepared with extra money for the tolls. Tolls in Italy can add up quickly so we want you to be prepared!
We always book our vehicles through Auto Europe. We find Auto Europe is often the best and most comprehensive booking engine when we plan our European trips, including Tuscany road trips.
Is it Difficult to Drive Around Tuscany?
Driving in Tuscany is NOT difficult! As long as you know the rules of the road, drive safely, and pay attention, you will be fine.
Be prepared for roundabouts, narrow streets, toll roads, and speed cameras.
Pay attention to speed limits to avoid getting a ticket. In towns, the speed limit is 50 km/h, or about 30 mph.
Outside of town, it goes up to 70-90 km/h, or about 43-55 mph. On the Autostrade motorway, it can get up to 130 km/h, or 80 mph.
It is best not to drive in towns. Instead, park your car and walk.
In most towns, driving in the historic center is banned. Look for “Zona Traffico Limitato” or ZTL signs to avoid fines.
Lastly, do not forget to include a GPS with your car rental, or bring your own. This will save you headaches later!
The Ultimate Tuscany Road Trip Itinerary
Stop 1: Spend Time In Florence To Begin Your Tuscany Trip
You will begin and end your Tuscany road trip in Florence.
This city is so beautiful and relaxed when compared to other larger cities in Italy such as Rome, Milan, and Venice.
You will feel welcome the moment you arrive. Even if you only set aside one day in Florence, you are going to love it!
While you are in Florence, make sure to check out the famous “David” statue at Galleria dell’Accademia.
You are going to want to buy tickets ahead of time to beat the lines.
Next, we highly recommend checking out Boboli Gardens which is a beautiful ancient garden overlooking the city.
Click here to check out our photoshoot in Boboli Gardens!
You should make time to visit the Duomo which is the large Basilica in the center of town.
You can’t miss it and the outside is so beautifully done. It is one of the best things to do in Florence.
Make sure to wear modest clothing if you want to go inside.
Finally, spend time walking the Florentine bridges such as Ponte Vecchio. Relax with some gelato as you watch the sunset.
You can spend anywhere from 1-3 days exploring Florence at either the beginning or end of your Tuscany road trip itinerary.
We highly recommend booking your tickets in advance to beat the lines and save money:

Stop 2: Visit Poppi For Your First Wine Tasting
Located around an hour and a half outside of Florence, Poppi is a stunning little gem of a city. This is your first taste of Tuscan wine culture.
We all know you are going on a Tuscany road trip for the beautiful views, quaint towns, and of course, wine, so why not kick off the itinerary with all three in one place?
Be sure to stop at Brancaia Winery for a tasting and tour. This is a great afternoon activity, especially if you leave a bit earlier on your Tuscany road trip from Florence.
You will be able to tour the winery and taste some delicious wine, before heading off for dinner.
We even have an entire post on the Best Tours In Tuscany if you want more suggestions!
The town of Poppi also features a remarkably well-preserved 13th-century castle that towers over the entire city.
Be sure to visit the Castle of Counts Guidi during your time in Poppi. Then marvel at the many small churches that sit in and around the town as well.
There are many fantastic castles in Tuscany that you should see and this is one of them!
If you drive out into the distance and stop and look back, you will see rolling green hills and the town in the background.
This is the perfect photo point if you are looking to capture some of the romance of Tuscany!
It is also one of the best places to visit in Tuscany by car!

Stop 3: Get Cultured In Arezzo
Just 45 minutes from Poppi, Arezzo is a wonderful stop on your Tuscany road trip because there is so much to see and do!
The city is home to so many monuments, churches, monasteries, and viewpoints that you would have to spend a month just to see them all!
It is also the wealthiest city in Tuscany due to its history in gold smithery!
Arezzo is a larger town than Poppi, so plan on spending a bit more time here.
It is also easier to find hotels if you are looking for where to stay in Tuscany!
If you are looking for the best viewpoints, we highly recommend visiting the beautiful hilltop Arezzo Cathedral.
If you are a photographer, this is a great vantage point to shoot from!
The Basilica di San Domenico contains the 13th-century “Crucifix” painted by Cimabue which is still in fantastic condition and a wonderful work of art to see.
Every Wednesday and Sunday, from April to October, I Giorni del Vino Winery opens the doors to the public. If you are a wino, you will be able to visit and see the behind-the-scenes of this working Tuscan winery.
Arezzo provides many options for fun during your Tuscany road trip so there is something for everyone!
You will agree this is one of the best driving in Tuscany locations!

City Center: Graziella Patio Hotel. Check Rates On Booking.com
Stop 4: Experience Siena, A UNESCO World Heritage Site
Victoria grew up going to a Catholic Church called “Saint Catherine Of Siena.” Of course, the famous Catholic Saint is actually from Siena, Italy!
She petitioned for peace and was instrumental in persuading the Pope in Avignon to return to Rome back in the 1300s.
Siena is a GREAT place to make your “base” as you explore a few of the below stops on your Tuscany itinerary.
The next 3-4 stops are all within 30-60 minutes from Siena. This is the perfect day trip distance, and you can really see some great sites.
Our suggestion is to stay a bit outside of the Siena downtown if you are using it as a base as parking in Siena is a massive pain if you are staying in the heart of the city!
DO NOT make the mistake we did and drive into Siena. You can get fined, and you are NOT allowed.
You are not allowed to drive in downtown Siena, aka the old town, but your GPS does not know this and will take you anyway!
Keep an eye out for signs in Italian which look like red stop signs.
They are not big and this is intentional as we have been told this is an “easy” way for the city to make money off unsuspecting tourists.
If you have been to any famous museums, you have probably seen multiple paintings featuring Saint Catherine which makes your visit to Siena even more meaningful!
Siena is a relaxing stop on your road trip through Tuscany, and it is just an hour away from Arezzo so the drive is quick and easy.
This is also a lovely base for spending your honeymoon in Tuscany and the city really comes alive at night!
During your time in Siena, we highly recommend exploring the historic city center which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you found Florence too crowded, then you are going to love Siena.
The Duomo, also known as the Siena Cathedral, is a must-see and not easy to miss.
If you love palaces, Palazzo Chigi-Saracini is the place to be.
And if you are looking for more history on Saint Catherine Of Siena, the Piccolomini Library is home to frescos depicting her.

Stop 5: Visit Famous Photography Spots Near Asciano
Asciano is about a 30-45 minute drive south from Siena and it is a teeny tiny town. The town isn’t really the best stop, although it is typically Tuscan!
The best thing to see in Asciano is the nearby Tuscan villas and manors that are beautiful and stunning.
You probably have seen them all over Instagram or in travel guidebooks as well!
As you are heading south out of Asciano, you will see the tree-lined roads appear higher up on a hill to your right.
Type in the GPS coordinates below and you will be well on your way to seeing one of the best photography spots in all of Tuscany!
There is no official parking spot for this fabulous view. That being said, you can easily pull over on the side of the road.
The side of the road is well-worn from all the other people who have pulled off. While this is a “popular” spot it is in no way famous or as well-known as other views on this Tuscany road trip itinerary!
The best time to stop here is during the sunset as the views are incredible!
GPS Coordinates: 43.20083 11.58947
Stop 6: Drive Through The Stunning Val d’Orcia Countryside
This is the best of the best Tuscan countryside that you do NOT want to miss!
Val d’Orcia is an incredible place to visit, and you can do it on a day trip from Asciano or Siena if you don’t want to spend multiple days down here.
If you do, that is okay too and it is the best place to visit in the entire region!
There are many stops you can make in Val d’Orcia on your Tuscany road trip itinerary, and we are going to break down the best ones for you!
Even if you don’t want to have “a plan” that is okay! You can simply drive around and enjoy the gorgeous countryside!
Don’t forget to add this place to your Tuscan countryside itinerary!
Tuscany Groves
While you are in this region, you will pass by these very unique and interesting shaped trees.
They are the traditional cypress trees but they are planted in a circle.
This almost looks as if it had been planted for an ancient ritual of some sort and has become a lovely place for people to visit when they are driving through this part of the country!
These unique trees are located just south of the small town of Torrenieri so make sure to put in the GPS coordinates below and then keep an eye out for them when you pass through this town!
GPS COORDINATES: 43.06401 11.55827
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta
The Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta is another wonderful stop in this region of Tuscany!
Once you are finished with the circular trees, head to this tiny chapel located among the rolling hills.
This is one of our favorite stops on your road trip through Tuscany because it is so unique, and you don’t see it on the top of many itineraries.
If you really want to catch a wonderful sunset, this is the perfect place to do it!
It was built in 1533 and two rows of Cypress trees flank it.
It is located in this UNESCO World Heritage region and although small, makes for a striking and memorable stop while you are in Tuscany.
Stop 7: Monteriggioni Is A Quick But Beautiful Stop
Monteriggioni is one of the quicker stops on your Tuscany road trip, but worth the visit as you head along to your next stop.
Depending on how much time you have in Tuscany, you can choose to visit Monteriggioni as a day trip from Siena as the small town is only 25 minutes away.
This is why we think Siena is a good base to visit both Asciano and the Tuscan countryside as well as the northern parts of Tuscany as well!
Everything is within 30-60 minutes which is the perfect driving distance!
You can also choose to hit Monteriggioni on your way to your next stop and just get out and walk around for a few minutes or a few hours.
If you have more time to spend and love cute, Tuscan villages, you can even choose to spend the night here and escape the larger cities!
There are also tons of lovely Tuscan villas that you can rent out to spend the night for a very affordable rate!
Monteriggioni is a walled castle city that overlooks the region.
Stop and explore the watchtowers and walls before heading to Chianti Sculpture Park for some modern art.
The way Monteriggioni blends the ancient with the modern is what makes it such a unique stop on your Tuscany road trip itinerary!
If you are a photographer, you are going to love this location as it looks like it is out of a postcard.
It is one of the most beautiful Tuscany scenic drives!

Stop 8: Explore Colle Di Val D’Elsa And Day Trip To San Gimignano
Colle Di Val D’Elsa is a beautiful city in the province of Siena and just a short drive away from Monteriggioni.
Colle Di Val D’Elsa is a truly medieval hilltop town in Italy and it is very well preserved.
If you are looking to shorten your Tuscany road trip, Colle Di Val D’Elsa is just 30 minutes away from Siena and 45 minutes away from Florence.
If you are in either city and want a quick Tuscany getaway, Colle Di Val D’Elsa is the perfect place to visit!
While you are in Colle Di Val D’Elsa, we recommend taking a short day trip or driving up to San Gimignano.
It is just 25 minutes away from Colle Di Val D’Elsa, but a little off the main road that the rest of your Tuscany road trip itinerary will be following.
San Gimignano is one of the most visited towns in all of Florence and is also known as “The Town Of Fine Towers.”
There are 14 towers that remain out of the 72 that were built in the 12th century and they are a beautiful sight to behold.
If you are looking for something a bit different, you could visit the Museo della Tortura which showcases all sorts of historical facts about medieval torture!

Stop 9: Visit Volterra For An Authentic Tuscan Experience
To visit Volterra on your Tuscany road trip, you will continue down SR68 from Colle Di Val D’Elsa.
If you put these three cities in the map, you will see why it makes sense for San Gimignano to be a day trip from Colle Di Val D’Elsa.
You can continue straight from Colle Di Val D’Elsa to Volterra during your road trip in Tuscany.
Not that all towns in Tuscany aren’t authentic, but Volterra really provides the romantic feel you are looking for in the region.
Volterra is actually one of the oldest cities in Europe, dating from the 7th century!
It is very well preserved and enclosed in an ancient city wall that dates back to the 4th century.
Not much has changed since the town was built, which is why we recommend stopping at Volterra during your Tuscany road trip if you are looking for a truly authentic and ancient Italian experience.
Make sure to spend some time exploring the Medicean Fortress and the great Roman Theater.
If you are a foodie, make sure to try Zuppa di Volterra which is a delicious local dish! You won’t regret adding it to your itinerary for Tuscany!
Where To Stay In Volterra:
Budget: Casa Mosaico. Check Rates On Booking.com
Good Location: Hotel La Locanda. Check Rates On Booking.com
Stop 10: Experience The Ligurian Coast In Livorno
We don’t know about you, but we love the water and the Ligurian Coast is some of our favorite stretches of coastline in the world.
The Ligurian Coast is set right on the Mediterranean, and you are in for a real treat when you come to this part of your Tuscany road trip itinerary.
After days of seeing fields of green, ancient cities, and wineries, the refreshing breeze of the sea will prepare you to finish out your Tuscany vacation!
Livorno is a port town with a medieval fortress, like most other towns in Tuscany.
We highly recommend visiting the Terrazza Mascagni which is a seaside waterfront terrace, similar to a boardwalk, that overlooks the Mediterranean.
This is the best place to watch the sunset during your Tuscany road trip and you really should take advantage.
If you are looking to step away from history for a moment, you could visit the lovely Livorno Aquarium for a change of pace.
This is also a great stop if you are completing this Tuscany road trip itinerary with small children.
Finally, if you are looking to head to the beach, Cala del Leone is the place to stop for a picnic or a swim if the weather is warm.

Stop 11: Visit Famous Places And Hidden Gems In Pisa
No Tuscany road trip itinerary is complete without a stop in Pisa!
You would be living under a rock if you haven’t heard about the famous Leaning Tower Of Pisa, and since you are road-tripping Tuscany, you just have to stop.
This famous tower is one of the best things to do in Italy!
Now, of course, you can’t stop at the Leaning Tower Of Pisa without taking a tourist-filled cheesy photo so just get it over and done with from the start.
We promise we won’t judge you!
You are going to want to book your entrance to the Leaning Tower Of Pisa in advance so you beat the lines, especially if you are visiting during the summer months!
Besides the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, there are so many other things to see and do in Pisa which makes it a worthwhile stop on your Tuscany road trip, even if you hate tourist traps.
Make sure to stop at Pisa Cathedral, Piza Baptistery, and Knight’s Square at a minimum during your time in the city.
You can see Pisa in a day, so relax in Livorno and then take on the crowds in Pisa in one day.
Skip The Line With This Ticket To The Leaning Tower of Pisa!
Visit Tunnel Di Pini
After you run around the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, you may want to head out into nature.
Tunnel Di Pini is the most fantastic tree tunnel in the WORLD!
We have been to pretty much all of the ‘famous’ tree tunnels on Instagram, from the Dark Hedges (wasn’t a fan!) to the one in Point Reyes (love it!) but this one TAKES THE WIN! It is better than any tree tunnel ever!
Tunnel Di Pini is located literally 5 min drive from the Leaning Tower Of Pisa in Parco Regionale Migliarino – San Rossore!
When you arrive at the park, there are three roads.
Take the road that is straight in front of you and leads directly to the ocean. Peek at your GPS if you aren’t sure which way the ocean is!
Eventually, the road will close and you have arrived! Pullover and park!
The road for the tree tunnel is VERY, VERY long, probably over a mile!
We found better photography was near the beginning of the road as the trees were fuller.
You can walk the whole thing if you want some exercise and time in nature!
This national park is a must-see stop on your Tuscany road trip while you are in Pisa that many people don’t think about!
Why not see this Italy hidden gem with your own eyes?

Stop 12: Get Off-The-Beaten-Path In Pistoia
As you drive from Pisa to Pistoia on your Tuscany road trip, feel free to stop along the way at any cute village or shop that catches your eye.
Pistoia is one of the least visited towns in Tuscany. It is a great way to wrap up your Tuscany road trip after the hustle and bustle of Pisa.
Pistoia is famous for its world-renowned chocolatiers. The city isn’t touristy at all so you will have the chocolate all to yourself.
Make sure to stop for a glass of delicious wine to go with it and enjoy an authentic Pistoian snack!
The Cathedral of St. Zeno is located in the center of town and was built in the 12th century.
The bell tower and colorful facade make for a stunning architectural design. San Giovanni Fuorcivitas is one of the prettiest buildings in Pistoia and you shouldn’t miss the exterior design.
It is actually quite similar to the Duomo in Florence so when you visit, see if you recognize the design.
This building is made out of brick while the Duomo is constructed out of different materials on the outside, but it is still quite similar and striking.
Pistoia is a wonderfully relaxing way to end your itinerary for Tuscany without the noise and crowds of larger cities.

Where To Stay In Tuscany
As you can imagine, Tuscany is actually a HUGE region of Italy!
We have provided you with multiple places to stay at almost every stop on this Tuscany itinerary!
Some stops, such as Siena or Florence, may be better to use as a “base.” Then you can take day trips to other locations.
If you prefer “slow travel,” you may want to stay the night in many towns around Tuscany as you drive only for a little bit each day.
This will allow you to enjoy your stay even more and spread out the time that you have to spend!
We have an entire article on Where To Stay In Tuscany if you are looking for specific recommendations for each region or want to go into more detail.
We also have a post on the Best Tuscany Villas including tips on how to book your villa in Tuscany.
Villas in Tuscany are actually way more affordable than they seem so you are in for a real treat!
Packing Tips For Your Trip To Tuscany:
Here are some of our favorite items you should consider packing for your trip to Tuscany!
These are essential travel items we use and love, and you should make sure to consider them for your travels.
A concealed travel pouch may be one of the most important items you bring with you! This unisex RFID-blocking concealed travel pouch is lightweight and comes in several colors.
It has lots of organization to give you peace of mind. You can keep your most valuable documents safe and secure next to your body.
If you have a pouch already you may not want to or need to invest in a new one. If it does not come with RFID protection, these RFID sleeves would be handy to prevent identity theft.
This configuration comes with enough passport and credit card sleeves that the entire family would be protected.
They are slim too, so they will easily fit into your current pouch or wallet. These are the kind our family uses not only when traveling but at home as well.
If you have a camera on your packing list, you need to add additional memory cards to your list as well.
Unless you are packing a computer for your trip, you will not be able to upload photos and clear your existing memory card.
Purchasing additional memory cards cost under $20 and take up no space in your luggage.
Having a backup can have the potential to save you a lot of heartache if something goes awry!
There is nothing worse than coming across that perfect moment and then finding out you don’t have enough space to capture it on your camera!
Similarly, if you are planning to capture your trip on a smartphone, we beg you to bring some way to back up your memories.
The best way to do this is with a portable smartphone flash drive. A flash drive is a small storage device you can connect to your smartphone and then safely and easily download the photos onto this device.
If you are planning on taking a lot of pictures with your phone, you will definitely want to consider an external charging battery.
This Anker high-speed phone charging battery is the exact one we carry with us on all of our trips.
It can be used on a variety of phones, not just an iPhone like we have. And wow is it fast!
We like that it holds its charging capabilities for several uses so we do not have to worry about it while out and about.
And if we forget to recharge it at night, it will still be good to go the next day.
My mom was never a fan of packing cubes until she tried them out! Now she is sold.
These Bagail packing cubes are the exact ones she uses whenever she travels and she travels a lot.
She cannot believe how much more organized she is now! And she will never leave without them anymore.
We never leave home on a trip without our Bobble filtration bottle.
The 18.5-ounce size is perfect for travel. It will fit nicely in the pocket of a backpack or your purse.
Also when filled with water, it is not too heavy to carry. And the Bobble carbon filter ensures fresh clean water whenever and wherever you fill the Bobble. You can find filter replacements here.
Perhaps you are traveling a long distance and packing space is at a premium.
Then this set of collapsible silicone foldable water bottles would work well for you. They don’t take up much space in your suitcase at all.
You will want to bring a backpack or daypack with you to store snacks, your water bottle, phone, extra clothes, etc.
This foldable water-resistant backpack would be great. It is very affordable and is available in many color options for you to choose from.
The fact that it folds down into a zippered pouch will make it easy to pack.
Perhaps you need a more substantial backpack for your international travel.
This antitheft backpack has a charging port, is water-resistant, and can comfortably carry up to a 15.6″ laptop.
It comes in a range of colors to choose from, and it is inexpensive as well.
We all need to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB rays.
These unisex polarized sunglasses come in a lot of lens colors and frame designs and are extremely affordable too.
If you are fond of the aviator-style of sunglasses these polarized aviators may interest you.
We like polarized sunglasses because they remove the glare of the water and help you to see things more clearly.
Don’t forget to bring along a universal power adapter if you are traveling abroad.
This worldwide power plug is a great example and will charge your phone at the end of your busy days.
And this world traveler adapter kit can charge several devices at the same time.
This is what you will need when there are several people traveling in your group or if you bring several electronic devices on your trip that require charging at the same time.
