Alluring landscapes and historic towns

Tuscany is synonymous with striking architecture, alluring landscape and historic towns, all of which makes for a wonderful music tour destination. Florence is the region’s capital and is widely regarded as one of the prettiest cities in the world. Spectacular architecture such as El Duomo stands beside vast collections of art whilst the streets are bustling with stylish designer boutiques and cafés. The region has a number of other stunning cities including Sienna and Pisa and also boasts an impressive coastline. Exploring the coast and popular coastal resort of Viareggio, with its large sandy beach offers a contrasting excursion.
