Tuscany by the sea

If someone has spent a holiday in Tuscany at least once, he certainly knows how many interesting places there are and how difficult it is to choose the ones that you must see. We are not bored, even if we decide to limit ourselves to a specific part of the region and, for example, rest by the water. In the north of the Tuscan coast lies Marina di Massa , a typical seaside resort. While standing on its pier, it is enough to turn your back to the sea to admire the view of the mountains - the Apuan Alps look beautiful at any time of the year, especially in winter, when they are sprinkled with snow. More or less in the middle of the coastline lies Livorno , a resort with a large harbor, historic center and a lively nightlife with bars and pubs with martini glasses ringing. The city's flagship dish is cacciucco, fish soup, prepared with red wine, torta di ceci, chickpea flour pancake with eggplants, and the drink - ponce livornese, i.e. coffee with rum, sugar and lemon. Orbetello is located on the southern coast of Tuscany, on the Argentario peninsula. The colors of the surrounding landscapes are green (pine forests) and blue (sea). During the week it is quite quiet here, but on weekends many Italians rest on the beaches. It is also bustling at the marina.

Rest on the Ligurian Sea

In Tuscany you will find at least a few water parks, including huge facilities offering dozens of attractions for the whole family. One of them is Acqua Village Cecina , winner of the Best Water Park in Italy (ParksMania Awards). Children can go crazy in swimming pools, on water slides and participate in activities at the circus school. The acrobat shows are a big attraction. In 2017, Lua Pele joined the aquapark offer - the Hawaiian island of volcanoes with internal and external slides, a swimming pool with waterfalls and, of course, a volcano. Approx. 56 km from the complex is its twin brother, Acqua Village Follonica . He too has the power to carry to Hawaii, including Makai, a wellness area. It tempts with numerous slides (including Gin-co, Walu), but the body can also be moved on it during Aloha Zumba with an instructor, and after exercise, you can throw something to eat at Aloha Bar Food. For many people, the best place for a family vacation in Tuscany is Cavallino Matto , one of Italy's greenest amusement parks. Located in the Marina of Castagneto Carducci, 500 meters from the sea. The surrounding pine forest is so large that it is not the attractions of the park that will tire us, but walks. But how pleasant it is to be so tired! As you can see, Tuscany is a recipe for a successful family holiday in Italy .

Camping in Vada

The region abounds in camping, so people looking for this type of accommodation will have no problem finding it - if anything, then with a choice of many options. In Vada, there is Camping Campo dei Fiori , offering shaded areas a stone's throw from the sea. Guests have at their disposal, among others a large swimming pool and restaurant, and their well-being is supervised by friendly and very helpful staff. It is a good starting point to the surrounding resorts (including Livorno, 39 km away) or to water parks. The surroundings encourage walks - the pine forest perfectly relaxes and calms down. The campsite is located in a town known for the so-called white beach, heavily crowded in the season. Its fame attracts tourists from different countries, as well as newlyweds who organize wedding sessions there. The beach is distinguished by white and gray sand, which makes the water look crystal clear, and the shoreline is turquoise. Doesn't it sound appealing?

Brescia - the lioness of Italy
Located at the foot of Monte Maddalena, the second largest city in Lombardy (after Milan) is a true pearl of the region. Brescia, called the "lioness of Italy", is a rapidly developing economic center, where at the same time great importance is attached to the cultivation of tradition and the history of the region, so that it does not fall into oblivion. It is a city of contrasts, winding streets and a huge number of atmospheric places, perfect for tourists visiting Italy. Today, Brescia is a dynamically developing economic center with history in the background. It may come as a surprise that the city is not too crowded with tourists - even in high season. On the other hand, it makes it a great place for anyone who would like to get to know all the best in this country during their holidays in Italy , but without the disturbing crowds. You can start your tour from the Old Town, surrounded by the remains of city fortifications from the reign of the Venetian Republic. There are countless winding streets waiting for us there, and at every turn there is a cozy cafe where you can taste Pirlo, a combination of white wine, campari and mineral water. There are many squares in this part of the city, but one of them stands out - Piazza della Loggia . It is home to the town hall, a palace with a characteristic roof, and a building that is the center of the city's political, artistic and cultural life. Above the north-eastern part of the city, on a hill overlooking a beautiful view, is Castello . The squat walls and the multitude of fortifications of the castle testify to its strategic importance for the area. At the end of the 19th century, it was taken over by the city and now serves as a museum. On the outskirts of Brescia is the Mille Miglia , a museum dedicated to the famous car rally that starts and ends in the city and runs through the roads of northern Italy (the stop halfway through the race is Rome). The history of the rally dates back to 1927. The Mille Miglia takes place every year and is unique for two reasons - vehicles manufactured before 1957 start in it, and the route is only on public roads.
