Tucson to Tuscany
My first trip to Europe was for three incredible weeks in Florence, Italy. Get planning and packing tips, then follow the journey for insights on must see museums, restaurants, and shopping, as well as other experiences across the beautiful Tuscan countryside.
Piazza Michelangelo, San Miniato, and Fiesole
First excursion to the Oltrarno and ancient ruins in Fiesole made this overcast day one of the brightest.
Palazzo Davanzati, Caffè Gilli, Uffizi
A noble home, the caffè culture of dissidents, and Renaissance masterpieces made the day unforgettable.
Colle di Val d’Elsa, Monteriggioni, and Siena
Over the hills and far away, a discovery of time honored Tuscan traditions.
