Take just one glance at the undulating landscapes of Tuscany, where cypress trees point towards the skies and hilltop villas burn like gold in the sun, and you begin to understand why the area has amassed one of the world’s greatest art collections. Tuscany is inspiring, picturesque, and downright unforgettable and no holiday here will ever disappoint.

By renting a car in Tuscany on your next trip, you are unlocking a world of possibilities. Getting around by car is easy, although you will definitely need a map or satellite navigation system to help you find your way around. Parking in the Tuscan cities of Pisa and Florence can be difficult, but elsewhere you can get about and park with ease.

Visitors flying into the region, which is on the western coast of central Italy, will land at Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR), or Pisa International Airport (PSA), formerly known as Galileo Galilei Airport. Car-rental offices are located at both airports and visitors can usually drive away in a rental vehicle within an hour of touching down. There are plenty of car pick-up and drop-off points at downtown locations across Tuscany too. You could, for example, collect a car from a destination such as Siena, Lucca, or Livorno, or a downtown office in either Pisa or Florence.

It’s easy to overlook the dramatic mountain peaks and beaches of Tuscany. There is nothing wrong with these places; in fact, they are as perfect as any mountains or beaches you are likely to find in Italy. It’s just that Tuscany’s cities and vine-clad landscapes are inescapably beautiful. They are the stuff of brochures and postcards and their magnificence is only enhanced when you see them in person.

So hit the open road and set a course for destinations such as Siena, a fine example of Tuscan medieval splendour. Simply stand awhile in the glorious piazza of Il Campo and wander off in any direction to discover artists at work, snug cafes, and jaw-dropping architecture.

There are plenty more medieval towns around Tuscany, as well as a surprising number of spa resorts, though many visitors make a beeline for either Pisa or Florence. It takes around 90 minutes to drive between these major hubs of culture and art, so if you are short on time you can pack a lot in to your Tuscan trip.

If you are staying in or around Pisa, be sure to make the short journey to the beautiful, walled city of Lucca (a 25-minute drive). Just like the rest of Tuscany, it is a great destination at any time of year.
