Vinci

Vinci, a tiny but beautiful town close to Florence, was once home to the famous inventor and painter, Leonardo da Vinci. It spreads out on a hilly area in the middle of Tuscany and is a lovely place to visit by car. Parking in the town centre, close to the church and the tourist information centre, is fairly easy.

Vinci, a tiny but beautiful town close to Florence, was once home to the famous inventor and painter, Leonardo da Vinci. It spreads out on a hilly area in the middle of Tuscany and is a lovely place to visit by car. Parking in the town centre, close to the church and the tourist information centre, is fairly easy.
The Leonardo da Vinci Museum composes of four parts. The entrance and the ticketing office are in Museo Leonardino, two buildings situated on top of the hill at Palazzina Uzielli. It will take a few moments to push a buggy to get there, but the reward will be a nice view of the country. The museum displays some of the inventions drawn in da Vinci’s notebooks. Both buildings are barrier free.
The second building, the castle tower, can be entered with a buggy by walking from the first part through Piazza del Guidi to vis Uzielli and from there to the back side of the castle where a lift can be found. Once you ring the bell and present the tickets to the camera the door will open. Truly a da Vinci experience.
The second stop, Villa il Ferrale, displaying some reproductions of Leonardo’s drawings, can be reached by a 5 minutes’ drive up the hill along Via cinco de Pistoia, taking a right turn at the crossing into Via di Anchiano.
Another 5 minutes’ drive away is a set of buildings called Casa Natale di Leonardo, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, belonging to the Vinci family. This is where everything about Leonardo’s life itself can be found.
Tip for parents: It is recommended to buy the entrance tickets for the museum, the painting exhibition and the birthplace simultaneously.
