Tuscany, a region in central Italy, is known for its art, its wine, and for serving as the origin of the Renaissance, or “rebirth” of Europe, in the 15th century. Tuscany is home to Florence, the capital, as well as many other unparalleled Italian cities and it should undoubtedly hold a coveted spot on your bucket list. Keep scrolling for 20 photos to inspire you to visit Tuscany (i.e. 20 more reasons it should be your next vacation).
Disclaimer: I’ve included a handful of photos from Cinque Terre, which isn’t technically considered part of Tuscany, but it is right on the border and easily accessible from the northern parts of the region.
