Tuscany, Italy

Tuscany is a region in central Italy with an area of about 23,000 square kilometres (8,900 sq mi) and a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants. The regional capital is Florence. Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history, artistic legacy, and its influence on high culture. It is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and has been home to many figures influential in the history of art and science, and contains well-known museums such as the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace. 
Tuscany's best travel months (also its busiest and most expensive) are April, May, June, September, and October. These months combine the convenience of peak season with pleasant weather. The most grueling thing about travel in Tuscany is the summer heat in July and August, when temperatures hit the high 80s and 90s.

  3. These photos bring back so many memories of the time I studied abroad in Italy during my junior year of college. There is such a wide array of beautiful historic architecture as displayed by the monuments, churches, and Villas in Tuscany Italy. I plan on venturing back there next summer.
