Easter is approaching and you are wondering how to spend it?
Whether as a couple or as a family, Tuscany is certainly the perfect destination to spend the Easter weekend.
First of all, because here you are spoiled for choice: the Tuscan landscape, in fact, is very varied! And spring is one of the best seasons to enjoy all of this.

Here, then, are some suggestions on where to go at Easter in Tuscany.

● Cities of art and historic villages: starting from the most known places, such as Florence, Arezzo and Siena, continue your itinerary by visiting equally characteristic towns, such as Pienza, Arezzo and Montepulciano, which have a lot to tell, both in terms of history and culinary traditions.

● Lake: if you prefer to enjoy the sun and life in the open air, a beautiful place on the border with Tuscany where you can take a ferry or a sailing boat tour is the Lake Trasimeno, with the possibility of visiting its three islands, Maggiore, Minore and Polvese.

● Wild glimpses of the Maremma: Massa Marittima, Capalbio and the Orbetello lagoon are just some of the pearls of this coastal strip that extends between the provinces of Livorno and Grosseto.

● The charm and food and wine of the valleys: the Chianti Valley, the Val d’Orcia and the Valdichiana are certainly the best known, with their characteristic vineyards and cultivated fields, where some of the best known wines and gastronomic products of Italy originate.

● Mountains: Tuscany offers everything mountain lovers could wish for in spring and summer, namely the possibility of trekking and nature walks. The Casentino is one of the richest areas in terms of food tradition and fascinating places to visit, such as the Castle of Poppi and the Hermitage of Camaldoli.
