From the winding alleyways of Florence to the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, this dynamic and beautiful region of Italy has something to offer for everyone. After exploring the world class art and architecture in Florence, visitors should also experience Siena, Pisa, Montecatini, and more. The region is located on Italy's west coast bordering the Tyrrhenian sea. It is one of the most famed and popular parts of the country and it won't disappoint.
Galicia
Located in the lush green corner of northwestern Spain, the region of Galicia is best known for its seafood and the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela located in the capital city. With an extensive Atlantic coastline, the climate of Galicia is often damp, though there are a number of rugged beaches that are frequented during the summer season. Other highlights include a culture that traces back to Celtic tribes and unique architecture from ancient standing stones to elaborate cathedrals.
