Events, festivals and traditions
Tuscany's calendar is filled with festivals celebrating its rich culture and traditions. The Palio di Siena, a historic horse race, is an exhilarating event, while the Lucca Comics & Games festival attracts fans from around the world. The Festival delle Colline Toscane, with concerts, theater performances and exhibitions, is also certainly worth a visit. Seasonal food festivals, such as the White Truffle Fair in San Miniato, showcase the region’s culinary heritage.
Best time to travel
The best times to go camping in Tuscany are spring (April to June) and fall (September to October), when the weather is mild, the landscape is at its most picturesque, and the tourist crowds are smaller. These seasons also offer a host of local festivals and agricultural activities. In winter there are even less visitors and while it is cool, it will not get icy.
Regional specialities
Tuscan cuisine is celebrated for its simplicity and flavor, rooted in the "cucina povera" tradition. Enjoy dishes like ribollita (a hearty vegetable and bread soup), pappa al pomodoro, and the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a juicy steak from Chianina beef. Olive oil and pecorino cheese are staples, along with wines such as Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino. Ribollita, a traditional vegetable stew, and cantuccini (pastries) are also popular specialties of the region.
