September, with its still warm weather, it’s the most pleasant month of the year to explore Tuscany, one of Italy’s most popular regions.
Tuscany is well known all over the world for its beauty and, given the ridiculous amount of its native olive varieties (more than hundred!), for the quality of its extra virgin olive oil. September’s warm climate will encourage you to discover the major sites of Tuscany, such as Square of Miracles in Pisa, the Duomo in Florence or Piazza del Campo in Siena. Everyone thinks that Tuscany is all about monuments but, surprisingly, it is also home to natural beauties. I dare you not to be tempted to deep your toe in the limpid waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea!
