Scooting Around Tuscany, Italy (318)
One of the best ways to explore the backroads and rolling hills of Italy is by Vespa scooter, whether by yourself or as part of a tour. In Tuscany's renowned Chianti region, in the town of Siena, motoring down the cobblestone streets and ancient alleyways is a great way to visit local markets and shops, from shoes to ceramics.

Other activities in Siena include tours of Castello di Verrazzano family winery and summer events like the Palio horseracing festival in the city's main square. Also nearby, La Bottega Del 30 cooking school offers daily and weekly classes, where you can learn how to prepare delicious delicacies in a real Italian kitchen.
