Northern Tuscany & Montecatini Holidays

Montecatini

North Tuscany is home to two of Italy’s most famous cities: Florence and Pisa. Here, art galleries, palazzos and Michelin-starred restaurants vie for your attention.

For something a little more laid-back, consider staying in a smaller city. Little Lucca comes ringed by Renaissance walls. Cycle or walk them for long-range views over both the city and Tuscan countryside.

Meanwhile, the thermal waters of Montecatini have been reeling in day trippers since Roman times. Explore the art nouveau Terme Tettuccio before hopping on the oldest funicular in the world. It takes you up to Montecatini Alto – a medieval village with spectacular views of North Tuscany.

Festivals

Puccini Festival (Jul and Aug)

Torre del Lago near Lucca hosts a festival dedicated to the famous Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, with a fantastic calendar of classic operas in an equally fantastic setting. The 3,400 seat open-air theatre looks over the picturesque Massaciuccoli Lake and is surrounded by a charming park.
