Cortona CITY GUIDE

With a maze of steep, cobblestone streets lined with medieval buildings, blessed with a scenic location on the side of a mountain, Cortona is one of the oldest and most beautiful towns of Tuscany. The countryside surrounding Cortona is filled with olive groves and vineyards, and the town offers splendid views over the Val di Chiana to the hills beyond.

Cortona is a wonderful place to visit and is roughly 50kms from Florence. Montepulciano, Pienza, and Montalcino are all also within driving distance.
