Tuscany isn’t just Florence and the rolling hills you see online.
Some of its most memorable places are the quieter towns that still feel lived in. 👀
📍 Lucca
Surrounded by Renaissance walls you can walk or bike on, Lucca is calm, elegant, and surprisingly local. Perfect if you want history without the chaos.
📍 Pitigliano
Dramatically built on volcanic rock, Pitigliano feels almost unreal. Narrow streets, deep history, and one of the most striking settings in central Italy.
📍 Montepulciano
Hilltop views, medieval streets, and some of Tuscany’s best wine. More structured and less chaotic than nearby towns, and ideal as a base to explore the Val d’Orcia.
If you want Tuscany without the crowds, these towns are a great place to start. 🇮🇹
