Visitors wishing to explore hillside towns in Tuscany will love spending the day at Cortona. Marked by steep vertical streets, there are many historic and cultural sites to visit in Cortona such as Cortona Etruscan Museum and the Cortona Diocesan Museum set against Renaissance architecture.
The Piazza Della Republica is one of the most popular attractions and is the focal point of the city. The Medicean Fort is another great place to visit for sweeping views of the city and the Val di Chiana.
Some great times to consider coming to Cortona are during the bric-a-brac market that happens monthly, the crossbow competition, or Cortona Mediaeval Week that happens in the middle of summer annually. There are also many performing arts events happening all year round.
