Enchanting Tuscany

These famous landmarks and museums can all be reached easily in a short time by car.

- Siena and its famous Palio horse race: as well as the palios of "Provenzano" in July and "Assunta" in August.
- The historic Florentine Football match, and the firework displays all over the city for the feast of St. John in June.
