Where to spend the summer holidays in Tuscany in 2020

Tuscany 2020: proximity holidays

2020 will be the year of proximity tourism in which new tourist destinations will be rediscovered. Sea, mountains, trekking and outdoor holidays, here’s where to spend the 2020 summer holidays in Tuscany!

What is proximity tourism

This year we will hear a lot about proximity tourism, which will certainly become the 2020 holiday trend.

The emergency situation caused by the Coronavirus unfortunately prevents travelers from traveling internationally, thus leading us to the rediscovery of all those places close to us that otherwise we probably would not have considered in the list of our tourist destinations.

This new attitude and renewed interest in the neighboring territories allows us to rediscover our country, its beauty and its kind hospitality.

Proximity tourism means choosing as a destination for your holidays destinations relatively close to the place where you live, reachable with a limited movement, perhaps by car, just as you once did.

Yes, because before low cost flights and last minute offers, tourism related to summer holidays was mainly national, favoring travel by car with the whole family, perhaps even in the company of grandparents.

We return to a slow travel, where the change of landscape and panorama is truly perceived and experienced.

Tuscany 2020: here’s where to spend your summer holidays

Tuscany also in this particular 2020 certainly has a lot to offer in the field of summer holidays.

This beautiful region has large green, hilly or mountainous areas, and a very long coast that offers lovely beaches.

All those who are looking for uncrowded places will have no difficulty in Tuscany, which already offers kilometers of beaches from which to immerse yourself in an intimate holiday.

Sea, mountains but also lakes and rivers will be the great protagonists of the 2020 holidays in Tuscany.

What is really important for spending holidays in complete safety and in compliance with regulations is being able to keep social distances, avoiding the places most beaten by tourist crowding.

This is why 2020 will be the year of less usual destinations, new itineraries and experiences in contact with nature.

Our region responds well to these needs, guaranteeing as always the generous hospitality typical of this area.

Tuscany 2020 Summer Vacation Ideas

Sea

Summer holidays by the sea are certainly the most popular and awaited by everyone. They are the ideal solution for families, where the fun of children is combined with the relaxation of parents.

The sea, however, is not only relaxation but it is also an opportunity to practice water sports, such as snorkeling or to enjoy unforgettable sailing experiences.

If you are looking for the most beautiful Tuscan beaches where you can have no crowding problems then the Maremma coast with its kilometers of beach and unspoiled nature is definitely for you.

Mountain

The mountain is a paradise for all those who love trekking and mountaineering. At the same time it is also a place where you can isolate yourself and relax in the company of your family, in a healthy and protected environment where you can play sports and play with children.
