5. Do I need to speak Italian?
While most people in Tuscany, especially in tourist areas, speak English, a few basic Italian phrases can be a fun way to connect with locals. Common greetings like "buongiorno" (good morning) or "grazie" (thank you) are always appreciated, but don’t worry—you’ll be able to get by with English in most places.
6. What are the best things to do in Tuscany?
Tuscany is a region rich with culture, history, and beauty. While you’re here, we recommend exploring the cities of Florence, Siena, and Pisa, or wandering through charming medieval villages like San Gimignano and Lucca. If you love wine, a visit to the Chianti wine region is a must.
7. What’s the weather like in Tuscany in August?
Tuscany in August can be quite hot, with temperatures often ranging from 75°F to 90°F (24°C to 32°C) during the day. Evenings can be cooler but still pleasant. We recommend wearing light, breathable fabrics during the day, and bringing a light jacket or sweater for the evening chill. Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses, as the sun can be quite strong!
