The best walking in Tuscany

Given that the region lends itself to discovery on foot, pinpointing the best walking in Tuscany is not easy! For quintessential scenery of cypresses, vineyards and medieval villages, we recommend the area around San Gimignano. The far south is brimming with ancient Etruscan history, while our holiday from Bologna to Florence promises great contrasts and a real sense of journey.

How our walking holidays in Tuscany are graded

The undulating terrain means that walking in Tuscany usually involves a few ascents, but some of our walking holidays in Tuscany are easier than others, so you should familiarise yourself with our grades to ensure you choose the right holiday.

Grade 1

These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2

You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2

Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
Grade 2-3

Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
Grade 3

Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
