The town of Vinci owes much of its fame to the fact that it was the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest geniuses of all time, and whose name is inextricably linked to many places in Tuscany.
The memory of Leonardo da Vinci and its sensational inventions is still alive today in this lovely town, where you will be able to visit its birthplace-house, the "Leonardo da Vinci Museum", which collects projects and prototypes made by him, and the Leonardo Library.
Definitely worth a visit are also the historical centre that exudes a characteristic medieval atmosphere, and the surroundings of Vinci, surrounded by green rolling hills and beautifully cultivated vineyards.
