The Michelin Green Guide to Tuscany is an excellent, fact-filled, practical guide to touring this beautiful region of Italy. It is designed to be used in conjunction with Michelin Maps 563 and 735 for more detailed geography, but the information contained in the Green Guide to Tuscany is indispensable. The book opens with a section titled simply 'Planning Your Trip,' which will give you tips on budget, transportation, where to stay, where to eat, and currency; as well as a calendar of events, useful Italian phrases, and conversion tables for weight, distance, clothing, speed and temperature. The Introduction will then do as its name suggests and introduce you to Tuscany, including her landscape, flora and fauna, cuisine, history, architecture, literature and music.

The meat of the Michelin Green Guide to Tuscany is composed of tourist attractions for all major cities and locations in the region. The guide is organized alphabetically by city, making it easy to find the information you're looking for. You are given a brief description of each city, including some history, her current population, and anything unusual or noteworthy. Following the introduction the book lists all of the main sights and excursions within that city, including descriptions of what the attraction entails. For every site that requires admission, there is an alphabetical listing in the back of the Michelin Green Guide to Tuscany, which gives dates and hours of operation as well as pricing. The guide also includes maps of major cities and parks, as well as photographs of many of the locations listed. If you plan on visiting Tuscany, the Michelin Green Guide to Tuscany will help you to decide where you want to go, and what you want to do once you're there.

Some of the major cities included are: Firenze, Livorno, Pisa, and Siena.
