September is looking good in Tuscany. Delicious mushrooms and the traditional grape harvest attract visitors to the countryside this September, which is particularly appreciated by those seeking relaxation and tranquility and wanting to take advantage of the reduced prices at the start of low season.

At the end of this summer, Tuscany is seeing an increase in visitors wanting to spend time in nature, on the mountains, in parks and countryside.

Tourists are favouring traditional September activities such as the grape harvest, and walking in the woods harvesting porcini, finferli and trombette mushrooms.
