Tuscany is forever known for its iconic Florentine cathedral dome, gently rolling hills drenched in the soft morning mist, and sculptured cypress alleys. Tripsy Club invites you to an unforgettable holiday in the heart of Italy, where golden wheat fields, silvery olive groves, and pea-green vineyards are an exquisite prelude to the soul-lifting medieval hilltop villages, mountain ranges, and fertile forests to the north, and the jewel-encrusted islands of the coast to the south! No other region is as captivated by the fruits of its fertile land as Tuscany, an exceptional gourmet destination whose inhabitants spend an extraordinary amount of time thinking about, discussing, and consuming food and wine! We look forward to experiencing the magic and enchantment together, bathed in the warm rays of the Tuscan sun and watching the glorious sunset!

IS IT YOUR DREAM TRIP?

FLORENCE

THE CRADLE OF THE RENAISSANCE

Florence is romantic, charming, and totally irresistible, where you can enjoy world-class art and fine Tuscan cuisine!  Few cities are so compact and so full of exceptional masterpieces of art and architecture! The urban structure on the banks of the Arno River in northeastern Tuscany has barely changed since the Renaissance and its narrow cobbled streets are filled with elegant 15th and 16th-century palaces, medieval chapels, frescoed churches, marble basilicas, and world-class art museums filled with paintings and sculptures by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and many other artists. The Italian fashion industry was born and raised here. Local-born fashion designers Guccio Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo opened haute couture boutiques in Florence in the 1920s. They have been a symbol of shopping in the Tuscan capital ever since. World-class fashion houses adorn the lace-lined Via de' Tornabuoni and Pandora's box of specialist boutiques selling all manner of beautiful objects parades alongside family-run workshops in a glorious tangle of medieval streets. Watch the work of fourth-generation Florentine goldsmiths and shoemakers, buy artisan fragrances reminiscent of the Florentine countryside and the Tuscan sea breeze, and know that the Fiorentina label is one of the best international labels! High-quality food products sourced locally are one more thing that makes Florentines proud of their culinary traditions! Florence is surrounded by wine-rich hills, making it a true gourmet paradise where good food and wine are simply a must!  And the sunsets here are delightful - the palette encompassing all the familiar shades of soft pink, orange and fiery amber bathes the whole city! Surprisingly small, Florence looms large on the list of must-see places worldwide - and not just for its incomparable treasure trove of art. Rich in culture, history, faith, and food, the Florentine lifestyle is enviably sweet! Florence is everything that La Dolce Vita describes...!

 

PISA

OPEN-AIR MUSEUM

Pisa boasts thousands of years of history, traces of which are evident in the fabric of the city, characterized by majestic squares, amazing monuments, and buildings in different styles. The Abano-esque splendor of the Piazza del Duomo, a symbol of the wealth and splendor of the Maritime Republic of Pisa, the Baptistery with its unique acoustics and the absolute masterpiece of Romanesque-Pisano architecture, the Campanile or Tower of Pisa, world-famous for its peculiar slope, can be enough to amaze anyone!

CHINQUE TERRE

PARADISE ON THE ROCKY COAST OF THE ITALIAN RIVIERA

Nestled between Genoa and Pisa, along a mountainous and seductive six-kilometer stretch of the Italian Riviera, lie Cinque Terre - five villages in a no-car zone set among some of the most dramatic coastal scenery on the planet! Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso have a unique atmosphere and tranquility! The houses are colorful, the streets steep without a single car, here only a train or a boat connects the five villages. A true paradise, which, besides its unadulterated beauty, offers delicious Italian cuisine and aromatic local wine of the "sheketra" variety.
