If you are looking to plan a perfect honeymoon in Tuscany, then here are some of the most memorable activities that you should try out
Go to the beach
Just because Tuscany is not particularly known for its beaches, does not mean that the beaches here are not beautiful. Visit the seaside cities like Viareggio, Piombino, Portoferraio, and you will be surprised to see how vibrant Tuscany’s beaches are. With the blue sea, long beaches, black rocks, and hills covered with woods, these public beaches are the ideal spots for a day trip and relaxing.
Try some truffle tasting
Truffle hunting is one of the most popular traditional activities in Tuscany. It is part of their culture from ancient times and is still popular. Truffles are pricey mushrooms that grow singly or in clusters near the base of trees. Honeymooners can sign up for truffle hunting tours and be a part of this unique activity.

As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I’ve made more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I travel the world and live my dream.
