Tuscan cuisine

The people of Tuscany have spent centuries perfecting the Italian classics – bread, olive oil, tomatoes and wine. The scenery hints at how Tuscans prioritise these staples. The countryside is a network of wine regions, from Chianti to the little-known Montecucco. Get to grips with it all on a wine tour – or just sit down at a trattoria. Restaurants serve local reds and whites as standard, and often come with vineyard-view terraces.

Flight Information

The best airports for Tuscany are Florence and Pisa. Direct flights from the UK take approximately two hours.

When to go

Tuscany is a mild-weathered place. Temperatures meander between 20°C and 25°C in the warmest months of July and August. July is also usually the driest month of the year. Autumn is light jacket weather (around 17°C in September), while spring is crisper – think 10°C to 15°C.

Tuscany has a calendar full of festivals. Museums and shops shut early on Easter weekend so that locals can join the processions and Passion Plays that pop up throughout the region. Spring also kicks off a long line-up of food events that last till autumn. September is harvest time, so that’s when wine festivals really get into their stride.

Visa Information

British citizens do not currently require a visa to visit Italy.

Tipping

When you dine out in Italy, you will generally be charged a coperto (cover charge), which is for the bread, tablecloth, cutlery, etc. Tipping in Italy is not customary, but is always appreciated.

Introduction to languages

The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
