What is Vinci? Where is Vinci?!
Vinci is the town that is the birthplace of the famous Leonardo da Vinci. That is how he got his name by which we know him today – Leonardo ‘from Vinci’.
How to go to Vinci?
Vinci is a very small town under an hour from Florence. However, like many towns in Tuscany, it is not easy to visit without a car. On this particular Tuscany tour you can visit Vinci as well as other important towns in the region, Lucca and Pisa without wasting time on public transport.
Where was Leonardo da Vinci Born?
Leonardo da Vinci was born in the town of Vinci, set amongst the rolling hills, in a little stone house. This house where he was born and raised which is now a museum that can be visited.
Leonardo da Vinci Museum
There are museums dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci’s genius throughout Italy. If you would like to visit the Leonardo Da Vinci museum in Vinci where he was born, please tell us in a note beforehand so we can adjust the tour timing. There is an extra ticket cost of 3-13 euros depending on whether you visit the museum and/or the birthplace and the time of day.
Medieval & Renaissance Architecture
If there’s one thing all visitors to Pisa agree on, it’s that pictures don’t do the tower justice. Lucca, by comparison, is more off-the-beaten-path. But with its Medieval towers (some with trees on top!) and sprawling countryside, it’s worth a trip to see in person. It’s got all the rustic small-town charm that Tuscany is famous for and a beautiful oval-shaped piazza.
Classic Tuscan Foods & Wine
Lucca is famous all over Tuscany for its rich cuisine and classic Tuscan recipes. Our Vinci, Pisa & Lucca tour stops for a lunch in a local trattoria or we stop in a fabulous hilltop winery with beautiful views, have a tasting of high quality Tuscan wines and a light lunch of delicious local specialties.
Free time to explore Pisa and Lucca
We believe that vacations are for relaxing. That’s why we designed our tour to give you enough time to explore on your own. That way, you can experience Tuscany instead of just seeing it. Spend a morning and tour Pisa and you’ll be able to take that iconic shot with the tower. And in Lucca, we’ve given you lots of time to gift-shop. Go sightseeing, relax and have a gelato in a world-class gelateria. Relish a pick-me-up of any of Lucca’s rich cakes and pastries or savor a coffee in a historical Cafe.
Lucca is perfect for Italian souvenirs. Italians call these small gifts pensierini (“little thoughts”). Beautiful, locally-produced traditional ceramics are a must. There’s a large variety of artisan studios to wander into in Lucca. Traditional cakes and biscuits also make great gifts. For salamis and cheeses, double-check customs regulations in your home country.
Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci, an incomparable genius contributed greatly to what we know about our world today. He’s famous for iconic paintings like the Mona Lisa, but Da Vinci was a true Renaissance man who was a master in everything from arts to engineering to mathematics. A man comparable to Albert Einstein, Da Vinci was way ahead of his time.
When seeing Leonardo’s birthplace we also get to see a very beautiful part of the world. We embark on a trip into the heart of the Tuscan countryside, with its gently rolling hills, olive groves and vineyards to see where Leonardo was born and raised, a typical simple peasant house of the time. Its old stone walls and traditional terracotta tiles.
