Next head to Florence and travel back in time to the Renaissance period. Spot the massive 13th-15th century Florence Cathedral. Set out to the surrounding countryside to discover the beauty of Siena, San Gimignano, and the Chianti countryside before admiring the sunset on the Tuscan hills. Immerse yourself in Langhe’s ancestral villages and get a feel for local life with a visit to a local weekly market to taste regional specialties .
