AREZZO

Another small Tuscan town, but this one is not heavily touristed.
AREZZO is a simple half-day jaunt from Florence to see Piero della Francesca’s chapel (only pay the 6 € if you want to view the frescoes up close) and the Duomo’s beautiful stained glass windows. At the top of the hill across from the Duomo is a pretty garden view over Tuscany. Also visit the picturesque Piazza Grande (the site of an antique fair the first Sunday of each month), the nearby Romanesque church, and Vasari’s home covered in his frescoes. But the best part about Arezzo is that you will hear virtually no English the entire day.
