Pistoia is a beautiful Tuscan province, just a short drive (20 miles) from Florence. This is advantageous for those who would like to visit the wonders of Tuscany, including Pisa and Lucca, but avoid the crowds, which are especially heavy during summer. Pistoia offers a convenient and scenic base for cultural tourists, with much to enjoy on its own terms. Of particular note are the well-known flower market, fed by numerous garden nurseries in the area, and a jousting festival in July, both of which take place in the capital, also called Pistoia, and lots of attractive villages and towns throughout the countryside.
