[Music] foreign folks to a brand new video skinny is full of surrounding Hills Cyprus trees and the most beautiful Hilltop towns you will find in all of Italy so we're back again for a revamp of this video with even more towns to choose from so let's take a look at 12 beautiful places to visit in Tuscany and if you do like the video don't forget to give it a thumbs up [Music] number one Sienna Sienna is a precious Tuscan gem that's always demanding another photograph so this is where to go in Tuscany if you want to discover the region at its most enchanting [Music] the historic sensor has been declared a UNESCO world heritage site you can see the sloping cobbled streets and the atmospheric Palazzo [Music] Siena is one of the most beautiful places to go in Tuscany and you can even base yourself there but away from The Piazza del Campo siena's highlights include a massive range of art Treasures in the city's magnificent 13th century black and white striped Duomo and as I said it's the perfect base to explore Tuscany's Countryside including the Chianti region [Music] thank you number two Monte belgiano standing High atop a hill in southern Tuscany it's not too far away from Siena Monte busano is a medieval town of rare Beauty and highly recommended when visiting Tuscany when you visit the city is full of elegant Renaissance palaces ancient churches Charming squares and plenty of hidden corners the town's strategic position makes it a perfect base and you'll see why in a moment from which you can explore the beautiful corner of Tuscany you see from here you can reach the Charming Pienza or visit the thermal Village of Banyan vignoni or even the famous Montalcino and a lot of other peaceful villages in a very short time [Applause] [Music] number three Luca there's a city that sounds like no other a jewel protected by high walls and embraced by a musical atmosphere Luca is a city on the circular River in Italy's Tuscany region so what's great about this town is it's entirely walkable and encircled on all sides by the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in all of Tuscany now because the historic sensor is enclosed by City Wars Luca has managed to convincingly preserve its Heritage so it's a place that is very much lived in but what I like about this town is that it has so many Towers to choose from which means there are plenty of viewpoints to see Luca's beautiful cityscape number four [Music] so it may feel like cheating to include a valley as one of the best places to visit in Tuscany for anyone who's actually been to the valdocha one mind about its inclusion another of tuscanese UNESCO world heritage sites a stunning Valley that's home to some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Italy with Rolling Hills Vineyards and picturesque villages something we can't ignore thank you foreign [Music] now one thing is for sure you could spend a lifetime exploring the beautiful villages in Tuscany but for sheer beauty alone you can't go past the hilltop town of Cortana every angle of this town is extremely photo Worthy including the Magnificent views over the valley below so for that extra special view you can take the pathway up to the Fortress of girafalco now the only good thing is the view that you can get from the top of the wall that's a price but it's only slightly better than that from the car park or the church below [Music] number six Florence now few cities can Rival Florence for its artistic style it's everything you think it should be it's buzzing and it's the heart of Tuscany with a sense of history on every street corner so it does deserve a spot on this list of places to visit in Tuscany because how can you ignore a city that was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance filled with world famous art museums galleries and even the massive cathedral which took 140 years to build so if you can get past a scam artist in the center and the massive droves of people in the summer Florence still has something for everyone number seven Pienza the town of Piazza a beautiful UNESCO heritage site which sits in the heart of Tuscany you can expect Renaissance architecture at its best and gorgeous views [Music] it's the largest town in the valdocha region in central Tuscany and it's a city shaped by one man's ambitious dream and that man was Pope Pius II now this is easily my favorite town you may see some pictures of mine in Instagram if you really scroll a lot [Music] so a little wonder will lead you to the southern part of the town which you can see a spectacular view of the Valdosta now Pienza is undoubtedly one of the most romantic destinations in Tuscany where you'll find streets with evocative names such as veal Del bacho and Via dalamore so why not give this town a try [Music] number eight monterregione a wall town in Tuscany known for its medieval fortifications and its watchtowers now this town is perfectly preserved medieval walled Village just 20 kilometers from Sienna in Tuscany it's a typical fortified Village that started its life as a castle perfectly rounded to suit the hill which has stood since the beginning of the year 1200. now the entire place is hidden inside a fortified Citadel where the walls and 14 Towers conceal is existence entirely but there's a Medieval Festival that's held here in the first two weeks of July so this could be a wonderful time to take your holiday in Tuscany number nine Sandra mignano so forget the Seven Hills of Rome Sandra minyana's 15 towers are just as breathtaking it's less than an hour's drive from Seattle and a commune first raised by the ancient Etruscans following the fall of the Roman Empire the church took over patronize in the town with the Glorious San Agustin or Basilica and the 12th century Church of Santa Maria Santa so with this movement came a steady stream of pilgrims poets who were very quick to eulogize San germaniano's Beauty this is a very very juicy town that you have to visit number 10 Volterra Volterra is a wall Town Southwest of Florence the central Palazzo de priori has medieval frescoes and a bell tower with very expensive views now I couldn't tell whether I preferred Volterra or beluga but I visited as a day trip from a farmhouse in Siena and it was really well worth the trip it's an interesting Hill town that offers a variety of different things that you can do you can visit the alabaster shops and you can see the artists working with the actual Alabaster or visit the Etruscan Museum which was quite fascinating in itself but I think the old Roman Amphitheater is the highlights of the town [Music] foreign [Music] Pizza one of the best known Tuscan destinations and yes the tower really does lean it's only one quarter of the center's impressive Piazza de merakuli but still no trip to Pisa is complete without climbing to the top of the tower but don't just discount this city all in its entirety because if you venture further around you'll find a buzzing student town with a very nice Historical Center high quality restaurants and small squares that are perfect for just people watching over a cup of coffee there are places around the streets that you probably wouldn't have seen if you just stayed too long around the center so don't discount Pisa definitely give this city a try foreign [Music] is a Charming City that's located on the western coast of Tuscany along the ligorian sea and is considered one of the most important ports of Italy so it's included on this list because I don't want you to expect a quaint medieval town like many others along the region since Livorno is one of the most modern cities in Tuscany even if there are many archaeological remains that fortunately have not been destroyed during the World War II so if you do head to this city try out the seafood plenty of delicious places to eat and again a contrast to all the other towns in Tuscany [Music] so there you have it folks those were 12 places in Tuscany hopefully you get to see at least some of them I appreciate those of you who do like the video thanks for supporting the channel and be on the lookout for a wonderful new series coming soon as always be good be kind and be careful peace [Music]
