City break in Arezzo. Active leisure ideas for Arezzo - attractions, recreation and nightlife
The exploration of the beautiful Tuscany province usually starts with Florence. After that, classic traveler’s guides suggest visiting Chianti and explore its vineyards, admire the hill towns in the area of Montepulciano and Montalcino, visit Siena or move to Pisa. At the same time, the eastern part of Tuscany often gets little attention. That can even be an advantage as the vibrant capital of the region, Arezzo, is not too crowded and not spoiled by endless hordes of tourists. It’s a great place to experience the authentic life of the province, see beautiful landmarks, and enjoy various activities.
