Looking for a charming Tuscan town to add to your Italy itinerary? 🇮🇹🍷

This beautiful medieval hilltop village located in the heart of Tuscany is known for its terracotta buildings, cobblestone streets, and panoramic countryside views.

It’s a quieter alternative to some of Tuscany’s more famous towns and makes an easy half day trip from Florence! We even combined it with an afternoon in San Gimignano!

Here are some of the best things to do:
🏰 Explore Certaldo Alto, the historic medieval village surrounded by ancient walls. 🚠 Ride the funicular from the lower town up to the historic center. 🏛️ Visit Palazzo Pretorio, a historic palace decorated with colorful coats of arms and centuries of history. 📚 Visit Casa Boccaccio, the home and museum dedicated to famous Italian writer Giovanni Boccaccio. 📸 Wander the narrow streets, discover hidden courtyards, and admire the traditional brick architecture. 🍝 Stop at a local trattoria for authentic Tuscan food and regional specialties. 🍷 Enjoy a glass of Tuscan w**e while taking in the rolling hills of the Val d’Elsa countryside.

🚆 How to get there from Florence: Take a direct train from Firenze Santa Maria Novella to Certaldo. The journey takes around 50–60 minutes, making it an easy day trip without renting a car.

📍 Save this for your next trip to Tuscany!

Have you ever heard of this Italian city? 🍷

Known as Italy’s food capital, this city is located in the heart of the Emilia-Romagna region and one of the most authentic cities to visit in Italy 🇮🇹

We spent 1.5 days exploring the city and while you could absolutely spend 2-3 days here, it was enough to see the highlights!

Bologna definitely is a must-stop during your next visit to Italy!

Here are the Top things to do and see in Bologna, Italy:

📍Climb Torre dell’Orologio for panoramic city views
📍Walk through the Porticoes of Bologna – a UNESCO World Heritage Site
📍Visit Piazza Maggiore & Basilica di San Petronio
📍Explore the University of Bologna, the oldest in the world
📍Enjoy local dishes like tagliatelle al ragú, tortellini and mortadella
📍Wander through the Quadrilatero Market for cheese, pasta & w**e
📍Stroll through Via Pescherie Vecchie and stop for a charcuterie at Salumeria Simoni Laboratorio
📍Visit Santo Stefano Complex, a cluster of ancient churches
📍Visit the Canale di Reno to see Bologna’s waterways (don’t be surprised if there isn’t much water though)
📍Try to find the 3 arrows in the wooden ceiling of Le Tre Frecce
📍Take a day trip to Modena or Parma, two other towns of northern Italy

Would you visit Bologna, Italy or have you already? 🇮🇹

One of the best fall foliage hikes near Denver. 🏔️🥾
🍁 Conditions 9/28/26 🍁

The Abyss Trailhead is located along one of Colorado’s most popular drives during the fall: Guanella Pass 🚗

*** parking is very limited and fills up fast especially on the weekends. Plan to arrive either super early (like 6AM) or go later in the day. We visited on Monday around 3:30PM and the parking was pretty empty.

📍 Abyss Trailhead (Abyss Trail to Helms Lake on AllTrails) 🚗 Located along Guanella Pass 🥾 Abyss Lake Trail: ~16 miles round trip but the main aspen view is about 2.3 miles in  ⛰️ High-elevation hiking with incredible mountain views 🌲 Mount Evans Wilderness 🍂 Best in summer and early fall when the road and trails are accessible

The drive up Guanella Pass alone is worth it, especially when the fall colors start lighting up the mountains. 🍂

Save this one for your next Colorado adventure!

DO NOT PARK ILLEGALLY - THEY ARE PATROLLING THE AREA AND YOU WILL GET TOWED. Follow Leave No Trace Principles & do NOT carve on aspens.
