Cortona, Italy is one of the most famous Tuscan hill towns. Set of the Movie 'Under the Tuscan Sun' shot here in 2003, with starring Diane Lane, directed by Audrey Wells. For anyone visiting central Italy, the sights of Cortona are definitely worth a day at the very least, preferably three days. Cortona's Museums house world-class art, ranging from Etruscan and Egyptian in the MAEC, through early Renaissance in the Cortona Diocesan Museum. Cortona is well-endowed with a variety of Renaissance architecture even though the prevalent character of the townscape is mediaeval. The main piazza of Cortona, Piazza della Repubblica, has a wonderful ambience and forms the focal centre of the town. The highest point on the hill of Cortona is dominated by a huge Medicean fortress from which the visitor can admire not only the town but the entire Val di Chiana.
Cortona has an active calendar of performing arts events, and hosts a famous annual antiques exhibition, the Cortonantiquaria, as well as a monthly antiques and bric-a-brac market. There is also a not-to-be-missed folkloric crossbow competition, the Giostra dell'Archidado on the last day of Cortona Mediaeval Week in late May or early June.
Cortona is easily accessed by rail from Rome and Florence and the nearest station is Camucia-Cortona, three km away, requiring a bus or taxi ride to reach the centre of Cortona. Walking uphill to Cortona is for fit people only, but one is rewarded by the walk with access to a number of Etruscan tombs along the route.

From Cortona to.......
Cortona is an excellent base from which to explore the
Tuscan , Umbrian and Lazio hilltowns.
Best accessed by car, the hilltowns are abundant in this area.
Tuscany:
Only 28km away there is the medieval town of Arezzo, the set of the film 'Life is beautiful'.
To the northwest, about 50 minutes away, there is Siena.
Other nearby Tuscan towns are: Chiusi with its Etruscan museum and tombs;
Montepulciano, home of the famous Vino Nobile; Pienza, one Pope's ideal city; and San Casciano dei Bagni with its wonderful day spa and mineral baths.
Umbria :
To the north about 10 minutes by car there is is Castiglione del Lago, a lovely town which is on a narrow peninsula on Lake Trasimeno.
Further along there is Panicale, (about 35 minutes from Cortona). A drive around the lake will take you to Tuoro and Passignano. Both towns have a ferry service to access the three islands on the lake, one of which is called Isola Maggiore , and is really worth visiting.
To the northeast, about 30 minutes drive there is Perugia, to the south there is Assisi, Todi , Orvieto , Spello and Gubbio which are unique Umbrian towns.
Lazio:
Orvieto: beautiful town of Etruscan origins
You can't miss the Dying Town ' as said by Rick Steves of Civita di Bagnoregio , only about one and a half hour drive from Cortona .
All of these interesting towns can be reached as a day trip and each has its own special attractions. Rome and Florence can be easily visited by driving 5 minutes to the Camucia train station, or the station at Terontola, leaving the car and taking an InterCity or Regional train. It takes about an hour and a half / two hours to get to Florence or Rome. It's a relaxing way to visit these big cities and then return to the tranquilty of Cortona at the end of the day.
