The power of art and the vitality of the culture of Florence, from distant times, have such an energy as to expand with force almost throughout Tuscany. There is one area in particular that shows signs of that thriving city and it is the Florentine area, a territory that preserves marvelous Medici villas, a UNESCO heritage site, unique castles, abbeys, enchanted woods, delightful hills and precious museums. It is no coincidence that the Renaissance ring passes through these lands, an embrace around Florence that welcomes different locations, an itinerary to be covered on foot or by bicycle through artfully made landscapes.

The capital is notoriously a treasure trove of priceless treasures, which are not exhausted in the majestic Renaissance works, but can be breathed in all the museum spaces, in the gardens, in the small squares, in the contemporary art exhibitions and in the numerous festivals which throughout the year animate the city. Diving into the Uffizi and the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo is one of the most beautiful experiences to have if you are an art lover and a walk in the Boboli Gardens is a continuous discovery, among fountains, sculptures and tree-lined avenues.

On the trail of the grandiose legacies of the past, on this circular journey, it is impossible not to pass through Vaglia and its Medici Park of Pratolino (one of the most beautiful English gardens in Tuscany), as well as through Lastra a Signa, where Villa Bellosguardo and the museum dedicated to Enrico Caruso. Also visit Figline and Incisa, an area that has fascinated artists and poets and finally don't forget Calenzano and Pontassieve.

This is also a territory of a nature that perfectly knows how to coexist with the works of man. Destination for those who love peace and rest is certainly Vallombrosa, the woods of Reggello destination for all Florentines looking for refreshment in the summer season. The centuries-old trees of this forest take turns to welcome, after a pleasant walk, the sumptuous and well-known Abbey. Equally to be appreciated are the hilly landscapes of Rufina, a land of vineyards; the hill of Fiesole, which, just above Florence, preserves a magnificent theater from the Roman era; or of Londa, with its lake in the greenery.

The skilled artisan hands donate terracotta treasures to Impruneta and weave elegant straw hats in Signa. Of Florentine craftsmanship, in general, the whole world knows: leather goods, gold, wood are shaped with exciting perfection.
