Sunflower Landscape Guide – Tuscany
This pocket-sized guide describes car tours, picnic places and walks throughout Tuscany. While the region’s historic towns and architectural highlights are often the focal points for these excursions, the role of the Tuscan peasant in creating this glorious landscape is stressed throughout – especially in the wealth of background information about Tuscany’s customs and cuisine, flora, fauna and history – all of them illustrated.
The book should be particularly suitable for those who wish to combine a visit to Florence with seeing the Italian countryside (you’ll need a good city guide for Florence, while this ‘Landscapes’ guide will show you the best of the rural scene).
8 car tours (with accompanying touring maps), 75 long and short walks (illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps), 15 picnic suggestions. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher’s website, maintained daily.
The ‘Landscapes’ series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed ‘the blue Bibles’ by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
