Around Florence: the land of Leonardo da Vinci

This is the land where Leonardo da Vinci was born. Visited every year by 130,000 tourist, the charming village of Vinci hosts some fascinating Leonardo museums.

Vinci itself is one of the most charming Italian small towns; ideal for a one-day excursion for those who do not mind going out of Florence. Vinci can be reached by train from Florence to Empoli and then by coach to Vinci.

Once there, you are in the heart of the Tuscan countryside with its luscious hills, vineyards and olive groves: a natural landscape remained nearly intact for centuries. The Leonardo museum is hosted inside the Uzielli Palace and the Counts Guidi castle and contains a vast collection of models, drawings and sketches by Leonardo.: definitely a “must-see” if you are into the inventions of the artist and genius or simply if you are fascinated by history and engineering.
