Visitors recommend visiting around 5pm to witness the spectacular sunset and enjoy the tranquility of the place. While entry to the waterfall is free, there's no free parking available.
Absolutely stunning place! The water is so clear and warm, and the place itself is just beautiful. Highly recommended! There is also nice parking space for campers quite near in the case you are around the area with camper, it is easy to park there and walk short way to this place. The one thing you might want to know that there was a lot but A LOT of ants so when you leave your towels etc, dont be surprised if they are full of ants later 🫠

Very unique, beautiful place 😍, just because of that, it always overcrowded, easy you can find, bar 🍸, restaurant for snacks 😀, and also good 👍 to have a shower 🚿 €1 /2 min. , toilet 🚻 free off charge. Many places for park your car if you are disabled, right at the main entrance. Main car park 160 meters away, but with barriers 2 meters high restriction. We have a wonderful time, hope U 2.
Sergey K — Google review
​A visit to the Cascate del Mulino is a beautiful experience. There's a mythological tale that claims the thermal waters were created to make humans more meek and less aggressive. While the water wasn't as warm as I had expected, the stunning scenery makes up for it. The best part is that entry to the pools is free. There's also a cafe right next to the pools where you can use the restroom.
Flo Y — Google review
What a great experience in the Cascate del Mulino hot springs. We being there in the middle of September, the water was very pleasant (warm bath temperature), no ants or other insects in the water as I read in other reviews, I guess it is seasonal. The water had a distinct smell, perhaps hydrogen sulfide that commonly found in natural hot springs. The springs located just a 10 minutes walk from a public parking, with hourly pay 3 euros, there was a plenty of space around 1pm. Admission to hot springs is free
Lidia A — Google review
Very unique experience; to watch the view of Tuscany valley while resting in hot water as if you are in a open air Spa :) but natural. Also thanks to staff for kind service at the facility. Note: shower, hair dryer, towels and cupboards for your cloths are with fee, rest is free (no entrance fee) Do not forget to bring your slippers, if you do, anyhow you will manage somehow and enjoy like we did 😄
Seckin D — Google review
This place was an absolute highligh of our vacation. I love the less traditional activities. What makes this place interesting is that you can find the cascades in the middle of a nature, it's completely free, you only pay for parking and water has according to google 37.5°C. You only pay for parking from 8am to 8pm. The water smells a little bit like sulphur, but nothing horrible. First, I was afraid what is inside of water but there are small round rocks and it's not slippery at all. It's opened nonstop and you get the best experience if you come early at the morning or if you stay after sunset when outside is colder so you can enjoy the warm water (we tried both). There is no place for changing but there is a restaurant nearby with toilettes. We saw many people coming in their bathrobes! That was cool. The best is probably to stay in an accomodation nearby and change at your room.
Silvia B — Google review
Amazing free hot springs, open 24 hours. I recommend coming early in the morning or at night to avoid crowds, but even when it’s busy the place is still great. Parking is about 300 meters away and paid from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Fantastic spot. Great to lounge in the pools above the falls. Fantastic to slide down the falls and wade down the canyon but bring a rope to help you climb back out as there is NOT a permanent one there for everyone to use. You will be stuck down there if you don’t have a rope

Feniglia is a stunning 7km stretch of sandy beach and pine trees located in a natural reserve that connects Monte Argentario to the mainland. This untouched beach near Orbetello offers crystal clear waters, wild nature, and fine white sand. Visitors can leave their cars in shaded parking areas and explore the pine forest on foot or by bike before relaxing on one of Tuscany's most beautiful beaches.
Close to paradise I’d say. Pure nature with cristalline sea waters. Stunning views and 7 km of a dream beach
Giovanni V — Google review
Beautiful sandy beach that spans a huge distance. Water and sand quality is very nice. There is sometimes debris from the trees and algae but if you walk a little bit you can definitely find spots that are clean. Parasol and beach chairs are extra ($) This public beach is very busy so it is best to get there early.
Ian R — Google review
Lovely, long sandy beach. Early in the morning was super to walk. Later in the morning it filled up pretty full even for late June. I found a nice hill with a breeze to hang my hammock and enjoyed watching over the crowded super-hot sand.
Jeremy L — Google review
The eastern beach looks nice, nothing more... Public parking is about 15min walk from the beach. The eastern public beach is far away from the expectations of a wild beach. I guess there's another specific access to the untamed areas of the beach. Navigation apps couldn't suggest anything a car can reach. Maybe I'll get successful next time...

Ernie A — Google review
Lovely quiet area and nice olive trees but the whole visit was a disappointment because of the lady in the shop. She was very unpolite and as soon as I stepped inside the small shop she told me the shop will close in 2 minutes. It was 17.54. 🙄 I thought the whole place was open until 18.30. The abbey had a mass so we didn’t enter into it. The smell that came from that small shop was so good so it was a pity that I couldn’t buy anything.
Petra V — Google review
Definitely the most beautiful abbey in Italy! We've come here for at least 20 years. In the beginning there were almost no tourists. Now the way down is paved, paid parking and there even is a shop at the top of the hill..... But still it's the most beautiful abbey of Italy :-) Try to stay for a service when you're here.

Truly beautiful Abbey. The electronic self guide is 7€ but we’ll worth the money. The view from the to of the Abbey is amazing. The shop is lovely too. We’ll worth an hour or two of your time for some valuable peace and tranquillity.
Charlie S — Google review
The Abbey, a jewel of medieval mysticism. It is one of the most beautiful monuments in an ancient Roman style, which also has elements of the French and Lombardy styles. Legend has it that the abbey was founded by Charles the Great in 781. The king and his army stopped here on the way back from Rome as the soldiers were afflicted by an unknown pestilence. An angel appeared to Charlemagne, telling him to make his men drink an infusion with a local herb. The cure worked and the army was saved so the king decided to build the church in gratitude.

Abbazia di San Galgano

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Abbey
Sights & Landmarks
Located about 50 minutes south of Sienna, the Abbazia di San Galgano is a stunning 13th-century Gothic church and abbey set amidst picturesque farmland. The monastery features an awe-inspiring roofless church, offering visitors a unique glimpse into its history and architecture. Surrounding alleyways lined with cypress trees lead to this remarkable site. Additionally, the area around Chiusdino has seen recent investment in luxurious estates, making it a popular destination for tourists worldwide.
Abbey of San Galgano is truly a special place. We had the chance to photograph a wedding ceremony here, and it was an experience we’ll never forget. The open-roof ruins, the sound of birds, and pigeons flying through the arches added such a unique and almost mystical atmosphere. We also witnessed sunrise at the abbey, and it was absolutely breathtaking—just as magical as the history that surrounds this place. There’s something truly unforgettable about standing in such an ancient, sacred space, feeling the first light of the day pour in. If you visit, make sure to walk up to the chapel nearby to see the legendary sword in the stone—a fascinating piece of history that adds even more mystery to this already magical place. For couples looking for a wedding venue that is historic, enchanting, and full of soul, San Galgano is like no other. — Peter & Veronika
Peter P — Google review
**A Hauntingly Beautiful Step Back in Time** The **Abbazia di San Galgano** (San Galgano Abbey) is a **mesmerizing** 13th-century Gothic ruin with no roof—just towering stone walls open to the sky. The atmosphere is **magical**, especially at golden hour when sunlight streams through the empty windows. Don’t miss the **legendary Sword in the Stone** in the nearby hermitage (Monte Siepi Chapel)—it’s said to be the real-life inspiration for King Arthur’s tale! **Why it’s worth visiting:** ✔ **Photography paradise**: The skeletal arches and grassy floor make for stunning, otherworldly photos. ✔ **Peaceful vibe**: Far from crowds, ideal for quiet reflection or a picnic. ✔ **Rich history**: Free info plaques explain the abbey’s rise and fall (or bring a guidebook for deeper context). **Tips:** - Wear **sturdy shoes**—the ground is uneven. - Pair your visit with the nearby **Chiusdino village** for lunch or a wine tasting. - Visit **early morning or late afternoon** to avoid tour groups. **A must-see** for history buffs, romantics, and anyone who loves evocative ruins. Like stepping into a medieval fairy tale.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at San Galgano Abbey, and it was absolutely magical. The atmosphere of the roofless abbey, with its dramatic architecture and open sky, creates an unforgettable setting for a wedding ceremony. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a breathtaking venue in Tuscany.

The entrance fee feels steep for a ruin with very little information provided… but it’s still 100% worth the visit! ⛪✨ Standing inside this roofless church, in the middle of nowhere, is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is truly unique. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, and the history of the site is absolutely fascinating 🌿📜 Take your time to explore, soak it all in, and maybe enjoy a picnic in the shade of the centuries-old walls of this mysterious and hauntingly beautiful place 🧺🧱
Thibaud — Google review
Open air 13th Century Abbey just outside of Siena. If this is something you’re into and enjoy – very much worth a visit. Looks spectacular from the outside and magical from the inside. Certainly unique. If you are not into architecture, historical buildings or church history, this is probably not for you. There is little explanation of the place once you’re there, so you need to ideally already be a fan or interested. Also visit the Chapel on the hill whilst you're in the area

Cappella di San Galgano a Montesiepi

Mentioned on

Chapel
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Cappella di San Galgano a Montesiepi is a fascinating shrine located in the Tuscan countryside, dedicated to the 12th-century knight and saint, Galgano Guidotti. The chapel houses his sword, displayed as a holy relic in the stone. Adjacent to the renowned Abbey of San Galgano, this site offers visitors an affordable entry fee and picturesque surroundings for relaxation.
Even if you don't manage to get the sword out of the stone, you can just rest in peace in the chapel under a very interesting ceiling. Very quiet place. In front of the chapel there is a small shop with local products.

**A Mystical Gem with the Legendary Sword in the Stone** Tucked into the Tuscan hills near the famous **Abbazia di San Galgano**, this **12th-century hermitage chapel** is a hidden treasure. The **rotunda design** and warm stone walls create an intimate, almost mystical atmosphere—but the real draw is the **"Sword in the Stone"** embedded in the floor. Legend claims it was plunged there by the knight **Galgano Guidotti** in 1180 as a symbol of renouncing war (yes, likely inspiring King Arthur’s tale!). **Highlights:** ✔ **The Sword**: Protected by glass but still awe-inspiring. Lean close to see the hilt and "bloodstains" in the rock. ✔ **Frescoes**: The dome features striking **Byzantine-style paintings** of angels and Galgano’s life. ✔ **Serenity**: Far quieter than the abbey ruins below—perfect for contemplation.
Dr A — Google review
If you are visiting the Abbey, certainly go and see the Chapel. It’s on top of a hill with a wonderful view over the Tuscan countryside. Has free entry – with lots of things to look at. It’s small so only takes 10 mins to look round. Has a small shop to the side and people working there who seem proud of the place. Not worth coming specially, but take a look if in the area. Also free entry.
Imogen W — Google review
A nice peaceful place to visit. There is a large free parking lot which is a 10 min walk away. From the Abbey there is a steep amd rocky trail leading up to the church (shorter and more scenic than walking back around via the road) where you can enter for free and see the sword in the rock. From there you can complete the loop on the road back to the parking lot.

Historical landmark

Castles
Palazzo Pretorio, also known as the Tower of the Pig, is a historic site in Volterra, Tuscany. It houses several museums including the Etruscan Museum and The Torture Museum. The Alabaster Museum showcases the delicate beauty of this stone discovered by the Etruscans. Nearby archaeological sites like the Roman Theater and Parco Fiumi offer insights into ancient history.
(Translated by Google) Palazzo Pretorio is very original and complex, dating back to the first decades of the 1300s, as it is the union of various existing buildings, including the 'Torre del Porcellino', one of the tallest in Volterra; it is located in front of Palazzo dei Priori in the square of the same name. (Original) E' molto originale e complesso Palazzo Pretorio, risalente alle prime decadi del 1300, in quanto è l'unione di vari edifici esistenti, compresa la 'Torre del Porcellino', una delle più alte di Volterra; è situato di fronte a Palazzo dei Priori nell'omonima piazza.

(Translated by Google) Piazza dei Priori, with its cluster of noble palaces, is evidence of Volterra's rich medieval heritage. It is dominated by the towering Palazzo dei Priori (1208), the oldest town hall in Tuscany, and is said to have been modeled after Florence's Palazzo Vecchio. Although the clock tower and battlements were later remodeled, the building looks like a typical Tuscan town hall. Weather permitting, it's worth climbing to the top of the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city. Across the square stands the 13th-century Palazzo Pretorio, with its battlemented Torre del Porcellino (Little Pig Tower), so named for its decorative relief of a wild boar. (Original) Piazza dei Priori, ze swoim skupiskiem szlacheckich pałaców, to dowód na bogate średniowieczne dziedzictwo Volterry. Dominuje nad nim wyniosły Palazzo dei Priori (1208), najstarszy ratusz miejski w Toskanii, na którym podobno wzorowano florencki Palazzo Vecchio. Chociaż wieża zegarowa i krenelaże zostały później przemodelowane, budynek ten wygląda jak typowy toskański ratusz. Jeśli dopisze pogoda, warto wspiąć się na szczyt dzwonnicy, aby zobaczyć rozciągający się z jej szczytu widok na miasto. Po drugiej stronie placu stoi XIII-wieczny Palazzo Pretorio, z krenelażową Torre del Porcellino (Wieżą Małej Świnki), nazwanej tak ze względu na swój dekoracyjny relief z dzikiem.

(Translated by Google) The building is undeniably beautiful from the outside, but the €10 ticket inside is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen. €10 to see two rooms currently used by the municipality, climb the stairs, and find art there without any infamy or glory, without any description. If you go, just look at it from the outside. It should be free. (Original) Il palazzo è indiscutibilmente bello da fuori ma la visita all'interno per 10€ di biglietto è la più grande fregatura che abbia mai visto. 10€ per vedere 2 stanze attualmente usate ancora dalla municipalità, salire le scale e trovare dell'arte messa lì senza infamia e senza gloria, senza alcuna descrizione. Se ci andate guardatelo da fuori e basta. Dovrebbe essere gratuito

Archaeological site

The Roman Theatre in Volterra is a well-preserved ancient complex that includes a theater and thermal plant, featuring excavated columns and mosaics. Discovered in the 1950s, this large Imperial period theater is one of the best-preserved examples in Italy. The semi-circular seating was built directly into the hill, with radial stairways still visible today. The orchestra area at the foot of the benches once hosted high-ranking spectators.
Impressive ruins, hard to believe they were built over 2,000 years ago. Not much to walk around but a good view of all there is, with some information too. Included in the Volterra card or 10€ entry

The Roman Theatre in Volterra is a truly impressive spot to visit. Even without knowing much about history, you can feel the atmosphere of the place when standing among the ruins and looking at the old stone seats and stage area. The setting is quiet, scenic, and gives you a sense of stepping back in time. It’s one of those places where you can slow down, take in the view, and imagine what life here was like centuries ago. Definitely a highlight when exploring Volterra and worth including in your visit.

Beach

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Lacona Beach, a stunning coastal gem on Elba Island, stretches approximately 1.2 kilometers and boasts an inviting average width of 100 meters. This picturesque beach is renowned for its tranquil waters, making it a favorite spot for swimming and paddleboarding. Nestled against lush hills and backed by a serene pine forest, Lacona offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and convenience.
Sand is clean, sea is blue, on sides are cliffs and on one of them is camping on terraces. Lovely beach, busy with lots of families, so don't expect a quiet escape. Very popular for families with kids. Five stars for the lack of infrastructure for such a wide central beach. Very beautiful water, very sandy seabed not ideal for those who love snorkeling. Long shallow backdrop, ideal for children. Crystal clear waters, with a thousand shades from light blue to green Elba. At the ends of the beach there are excellent rocks for snorkeling activities.there is also some stone while in the eastern part it slopes very slowly and is only made of very fine sand.

Nice sandy beach in Lacona. In the morning very crowded and noisy. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby so you don't have to search far to find a place to eat. We didn't find showers, unless in paid service area.

The beach is very cool but the guys operating the blue umbrellas are a bit shifty. We had been coming for almost two weeks, renting two sun chairs and the umbrella for 30€ a day. Suddenly one day they tell us our kids are too big all of a sudden and we need to rent one sunchair more. Funny thing is our two elder daughters (16 and 14 years old) are the same size but apparently only one extra chair was needed. Such greed is a pity.

Sandy long beach, very crowded. Not the most beautiful on the island, but tastes differ of course. Very popular for families with kids. Minus stars for the lack of infrastructure for such a wide central beach, parking is limited, no showers. Walked the beach back and forth in search of public toilets, haven't found any. Googled it...haven't found any..or they must be really well hidden. Asked some beach workers, the answer was to use the bars toilets. I wonder how families with kids manage such situation. This is basic beach infrastructure to have a public toilet, and a couple of showers..

Marina di Campo beach is a popular destination situated in a picturesque inlet, surrounded by rows of cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. While it may not be deemed as the most outstanding beach on Elba Island, it still offers a pleasant experience. The area boasts stunning views and good dining options, but lacks any remarkable landmarks such as lighthouses or castles. However, what makes Marina di Campo unique is its sandy beach and shallow waters, which are rare on the island.
Biggest beach on Elba. Best enjoyed in June or September but always a treat.

The Zoo of Pistoia is a venerable zoo and amusement park that houses over 600 animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The environment aims to closely replicate the natural habitats of the animals. Visitors can encounter various species such as brown bears, lynx, tigers, lions, giraffes, colorful parrots, rare lemurs from Madagascar and other endangered species from around the world.
A great small zoo. The enclosures are really good. It is mainly under shade which was important in August. We saw most animals except the big cats and wolves. The penguins were our favourites. The cafe bars were good value and so was the entrance price. It was our first Italian zoo and we were impressed and had a fun packed 3 hours.
Steve K — Google review
Spent about two hours here with the family ranging from little kids to older adults and had a great experience at this zoo. We got to see a lot of different animals including the wolves, bears, zebras, ostriches, penguins, monkeys, and giraffes. Great way to spend an afternoon. There were a bit of hills to walk up and down but there was a nice amount of shade so it was bearable in the hot weather.
Stephanie R — Google review
Very nice Zoo! A bit smaller that I expected but animals are well taken care of and have very nice enclosures (even if some may look dated). Biggest issue is getting there which is very difficult without a car. The are busses that in the morning and then after 15:00 but if you arrive at let's say 9:00 (last morning bus), then by 12 you most likely have seen the whole place. We chose to go by foot from Pistoia (Google says it's 45 walk) but this way you end up walking by a very busy road without side road. There's also not much to see in the area besides the Zoo, so take it into consideration when planning to go there.
Shaka A — Google review
Nice Zoo. The distance between toilets and store and restaurant in the Zoo has been extremely well thought, I am saying that as a mother with 2 children. Also everything was quite clean. Only minus is that a lot of the "interesting" animals were not there/ or well hidden (Tiger, mini Hippo, Zebras etc.) but otherwise worth the visit.

Nice zoo, not too big. We went there on a bit of a rainy day. Luckily dogs were allowed un the zoo, and the animals reacted good on it. The zoo is very green in between woods and they have beautiful animals. Good restaurant too. It was very spontaneous to go there for us, but we enjoyed ourselves. We were in there for ±5h including long lunch at the restaurant.

Historical place

The Tower of Pisa, also known as Torre Pendente di Pisa, is a stunning 14th-century structure in Italy that has gained worldwide fame for its distinctive lean. The tower originally leaned at a dramatic angle of 5.5 degrees but extensive restoration work has reduced the lean to less than 4.0 degrees.
This was an amazing experience as one of the marvels of the world. To see this building leaning in its original form after centuries as it stands. The site has been well preserved. The line to go up the top was relatively short for an attraction in Italy. During the winter when I came the weather is cool in the morning but perfect by midday especially to stand in lines.
Cheryl J — Google review
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic and fascinating landmarks in the world a true symbol of Italy’s charm and history. Seeing it in person is an incredible experience; its famous tilt is even more striking and impressive than photos can capture. The white marble gleams beautifully under the sun, and the detailed Romanesque architecture is simply stunning. Climbing to the top is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend the spiral staircase, you can actually feel the tower’s tilt, which adds a sense of adventure and wonder. Once at the top, the panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape is breathtaking. The tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), surrounded by other magnificent monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery, all of which are worth exploring. The area has a lively, joyful atmosphere with cafés, souvenir shops, and green lawns perfect for photos and relaxing. Whether you come for history, architecture, or just the fun of taking the classic “holding up the tower” photo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa never disappoints. It’s a place full of charm, beauty, and a sense of wonder that makes every visit truly special.

Iconic, Beautiful, and Worth the Hype (Visited in September 2025) I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa in September 2025, and it was every bit as impressive as I hoped. Seeing it in person — slightly tilted yet perfectly balanced — was surreal. The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli and taking photos without feeling rushed. Climbing the tower was an unforgettable experience. The marble steps are worn and slanted from centuries of use, and as you ascend, you can actually feel the lean — it’s both thrilling and slightly dizzying! The view from the top is absolutely worth it, offering panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The area can be busy with tourists, but if you go early in the morning or later in the afternoon, it’s much quieter. The cathedral and baptistery nearby are also stunning and definitely worth exploring. Overall: A must-see once in your lifetime. The Leaning Tower of Pisa isn’t just a famous landmark — it’s a masterpiece of history, architecture, and human perseverance.

Pisa is a charming and historic city that truly captures the spirit of Italy. Famous for its iconic Leaning Tower, the city offers much more than just that – beautiful architecture, cozy streets, and a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli feels like stepping into a living museum, surrounded by stunning buildings and rich history. The locals are friendly, the food is delicious, and there’s a lovely mix of culture and calmness throughout the city. Whether you come for sightseeing, photography, or simply to enjoy authentic Italian vibes, Pisa is definitely worth visiting. A small city with a big heart — unforgettable and full of beauty! 🇮🇹✨

Before I went to visit, I thought it would be overrated, old and uninteresting, but when I got there, I was completely wowed! The tower and surrounding buildings have been maintained in such a pristine way that they look like they were built last week. For a building that is over 850 years old, it sure has aged well. The scale and lean of the tower is unbelievable and cannot be felt from pictures. This is a must visit when you are in Italy. It is truly a majestic sight.
M4l2K T — Google review
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an absolute blast to visit! Seeing it in person is way more impressive than any photo, and the tilt is even more dramatic up close. The best part? Getting creative with photos! We had so much fun “holding it up,” pretending to push it over, leaning against it, or even putting it in an ice cream cone — endless silly opportunities for memories and laughs. The surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli is beautiful too, with the cathedral and baptistery making the perfect backdrop. Even just walking around and soaking in the architecture is a treat. Tip: bring your camera and a playful attitude — it’s all about the fun angles and perspective tricks. Crowds can get busy, so a little patience helps to get your perfect shot. Visiting the Leaning Tower isn’t just sightseeing — it’s a joyful, hands-on experience that’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a little photo fun. Definitely one of the most memorable stops in Italy!

Iconic- such an amazing view. I loved this place but so crowded. I would recommend visiting the museum next to the tower of Pisa to get an amazing view with minimal people spoiling your photos. Also there is a restaurant in this museum and you get a stunning view. Recommend climbing the tower of Pisa that was amazing make sure you are willing to climb as can be tiring. Trainers recommended for the climb.

Had a lovely time here. The tower itself has a beautiful view when you're at the top. The steps are slippery tho so be careful aspecially when walking back down. The cathedral is gorgeous also on the inside. We bought tickets that included entree to all buildings and museums and also walked the walls of pisa all the way (which was quite long). Definitely recommend visiting and also going inside.

Cattedrale di Pisa, also known as the Cathedral of Pisa or Santa Maria Assunta, is a grand marble-striped cathedral famous for its ornate Romanesque bronze doors and a carved 1300s pulpit. Initially built as the freestanding bell tower for the nearby Duomo di Pisa, it began to lean due to unstable soil during construction in the 12th century.
After visiting Cathedral of Florence i was very surprised by interior decoration here. Very rich and beautiful in comparison to Florence. Spent more than 40min here to admire every detail. Paintings, statues, woodwork, mosaics, frescos, everything in superb condition like it wasn't build 900 years ago. Very pleasant surprise. It was beautifully restored in 2018.

The white marble buildings glowing under the Tuscan sun create an almost dreamlike scene. Standing here feels like being inside a living work of art — peaceful, majestic, and timeless. Absolutely magnificent and unforgettable!

This something This place is simply spectacular. The architecture is massive and incredibly impressive—pictures don't do it justice. Inside, it’s a masterpiece of art and history, packed with stunning stained glass and biblical details. My top recommendation: definitely buy the ticket to go up to the top. Walking around the exterior and seeing the views from above is the highlight of the trip. Totally worth the wait!

This is how beautiful it can be in Pisa, this small fantastic cosy city with it’s unbeatable charm. I walked the street and tje wall, everything was almost as a dream, I met fantastic people, I saw buildings that almost made me faint, it was like I was hit by Stendahls Syndrome. Pisa is a MUST city and the Tower area is the symbol of great architecture with classical style and grace. I’ll ne back!

Piazza del Duomo in Pisa was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. From the moment you enter through the gate, you’re surrounded by breathtaking architecture and a truly positive atmosphere. The intricate details of the icons and sculptures inside are stunning, and every corner of the square feels rich with history and beauty. An unforgettable experience

It's true you can't go far in Italy without running into history and this is no exception. Using viator, ITaly, lime (scooter rental), the world is your oyster. In your typical basilica, cathedral or place of worship related to Catholicism. The walls will be lined with this stations of the cross, not the duomo. It's its walls were lined with apostles and followers of Jesus. Make sure you catch the show output at noon.The bells ring the mechanical figures put on a lovely show in the piazza. If you're interested, pay a visit to the museum located on-site as well as the cript.

Battistero di San Giovanni

Mentioned on 
+25 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Located in the Square of Miracles, Battistero di San Giovanni is a stunning medieval baptistery that often goes unnoticed next to its towering neighbors. This round building boasts an impressive interior with a baptism font at its center and offers a unique vantage point from its top floor overlooking the cathedral. Constructed in the 12th century in Romanesque style, it features Gothic and Renaissance influences as well.
It was my first time visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and I honestly didn’t expect it to be so impressive. It was much bigger than I imagined, and the whole experience felt magical. Seeing it in real life is truly something special—it’s definitely a must-see! The atmosphere around the tower is lively and full of charm. A unique landmark that leaves a lasting impression

Such a beautiful place. We were lucky that the choir began singing while we were on the upper level and the acoustics were incredible. The sound seemed to come from every direction at once. The building is well maintained and the crowds not bad at all. Don't just come to see the tower. This chapel is a must visit
Gary G — Google review
A beautifully designed baptistery with impressive acoustics and elegant Romanesque-Gothic architecture. The interior is simple yet majestic, and the echo demonstration is a lovely highlight for visitors.
Theeraphat P — Google review
Didn't have a time for visit this place but from pictures i saw it seems quite empty inside and very simple. From outside its quite impressive though, 55 m high and 107 m in circumference, one of the largest in the World. Echo inside is very unique and its worth to hear the crew demonstration of this exquisite acoustic every 30min.

Visiting the Battistero di San Giovanni was an unforgettable experience that left me in awe of its rich history and breathtaking architecture. The intricate details of the interior, from the gilded ceiling to the marble columns, showcase centuries of artistry and devotion. Standing beneath the frescoes, I felt a deep connection to the cultural and spiritual heritage that this place represents. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere inside remained reverent and inspiring, offering a true sense of serenity. This landmark is not only a masterpiece of design but also a living testament to Florence’s enduring legacy

The Baptistery of Saint John (Italian: Battistero di San Giovanni) is a baptistery in Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa. It is an outstanding monument of Italian Romanesque and Gothic architecture and sculpture. Construction began in 1152 and was completed in 1363. Chronologically, it is a later structure than the Pisa Cathedral and an earlier one than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Guliola L — Google review
It was a great place to see along with the rest of the monuments in the plaza. Fair warning, beware of the people selling things that are not at a stand. If the police are walking around they will hide what they are selling and close their bags and head the opposite direction. It is really comical. The building itself has a lot of history and the inside is beautiful.

It is a steep structure that blends well with its rocky surroundings and is easily accessible without any special skills or clothing. The bridge has been well maintained over time and offers a pleasant resting spot for travelers passing through the area. On clear days, visitors can enjoy the reflection of the bridge in the calm waters of the river.
Ponte del Diavolo is a stunning place-full of history, mystery, and breathtaking views. Whether you’re interested in medieval architecture or just want to enjoy a peaceful walk surrounded by nature, it’s truly worth a visit.
Tatiana M — Google review
A historical and beautiful bridge right on the side of the road in the mountains. If you're in or around Lucca and planning to see some mountains and nature, I'd recommend having a quick stop at Ponte della Maddalena. Parking is easy on the east/right side of the Bridge. Not too crowded when visiting in the middle of the day. If you're also looking for a pitstop or a quick lunch, three small osterias/restaurants are right next to the bridge.
Frederik H — Google review
The Devil’s Bridge is an absolute marvel of architecture — a structure that feels both timeless and awe-inspiring. The craftsmanship is remarkable, and standing on it, you can’t help but admire the ingenuity that went into building something so bold in such a dramatic setting. What makes it truly special, though, is the feeling when you reach the top. The view opens up around you, and for a moment it’s as if you’re standing at the very top of the world. There’s a mix of exhilaration and serenity that makes the experience unforgettable. Whether you’re drawn by history, architecture, or simply the promise of a breathtaking view, the Devil’s Bridge delivers on all fronts. It’s one of those rare places where the journey up is just as memorable as the sight from the top.

Nestled in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, Antro del Corchia Levigliani is a captivating cave system renowned for its striking stalactites and dramatic lava formations. Accessible via a bus ride from the nearby ticket office, this off-the-beaten-path attraction offers guided tours lasting around 2-2.5 hours, providing an opportunity to explore its fascinating interior filled with intricate stalactites and serene lakes.
Beautiful cave. The tour guide always took the time to explain everything in English as well even though only me and my family didn't speak Italian. Make sure to bring a warm sweater and long pants!
Eszter B — Google review
If you want to visit the cave I would recommend to book the tour in advance or at least call them up the day before. We arrived to the town where the information desk was at 12:00 and were informed the last group had already left on the bus to see the cave at 11:00. For some reason, they had they last guided tour at 11am, which was extremely strange and there was no info on their website that said that prior reservation was required. It took us an hour to get to the place, so we were obviously a little disappointed. It could have been a great experience, but alas. Make your reservation ahead of time!
Eugenia — Google review
This is out of the beaten path attraction. You park near the ticket office and reach the cave by a bus (included in the tickets). You can only enter with a guided tour of about 2-2.5 hours. You can combine it with a 45 minute tour to the mercury mine nearby. Not all guides are fluent in English, but you can check this with the park by emails (and reserve a spot). There is a small kiosk at the cave entrance.
Hila — Google review
The guide knew was he was talking about. There is no more audioguide for non Italian speakers. The guide will do both language, which is a considerate and good thing. The downside is we sometimes couldn't hear because we were too far behind. There is not much time to appreciate the last part of the cave since we must follow the group. Overall it was still a nice experience

Hiking Trails
The Sentiero Monterosso - Vernazza is a popular and picturesque hiking trail that connects the Cinque Terre, offering stunning ocean views and lush landscapes. One of its highlights is a famous lookout point near Vernazza, known for its Instagram-worthy scenery. While a Cinque Terre Trekking Card is required during the hiking season, it may not always be enforced.
It was absolutely beautiful. It did take 1-2 hours and the stairs are quite the workout. Definitely have to stop and catch your breath from how much you climb up and down but if you love a good hike with gorgeous views I definitely recommend this. Some of the pathway is pretty narrow so be careful! Also, if you hike when it's hot, bring a swimsuit and jump into the water at Vernazza or Monterosso, it feels MAGICAL.
Laura P — Google review
We walked from Vernazza to Monterosso. It took about an hour and a half. The first half hour, in particular, is quite tiring and challenging; you're walking uphill. There are beautiful views along the way. There's no way to refill your water bottle along the way, so stock up on water beforehand.
Mehmet A — Google review
Please take cat food with you - lots if possible!!!!!! There is a cat village and a designated area to leave food so people can feed them over time. It is up to us to feed these homeless cats. Walked this trail today and to my surprise, there was a few homeless cats who are in a small gated area with cat houses and a sign that states something along the lines of “homeless and unloved cats, please feed” …there was no food there and they looked quite skinny. If you are planning to walk this trail, please bring a bag of cat food, maybe some wet cans (not tin, they can cut their tongue on those), water… whatever you can. If I had known this going into the hike, I would’ve brought it. I’m not sure what the deal is with any caretakers for the cats but it would be nice to have a sign or something prior to starting the trail to let people know there are cats along the way, so people can purchase food before going up…. Lots of people were very upset to see the cats there with no food and there’s nothing to do about it at that point… it is mid-trail and nothing around. Otherwise, it is very uphill so be very prepared - but the sights are well worth it!
Kelsie G — Google review
Pro tip: apparently you need a Cinque Terre pass to enter but everyone was passing through just to check the views and then come back. This is where you'll take the best photo of Vernazza. The start is just on the side of a restaurant, to the left you'll see a narrow street.
Sidónio S — Google review
3.6 km, about 2h walk. It tooked us 2h15 with a big break at a bar about 1km away from Monterosso, the only one along the way. Lots of steps, but pretty easy to walk with good shoes... And the viens are so worth it !
Emma — Google review
This is a very strenuous trail with 800 ft of elevation. It was quite difficult with many stairs on both the accent a decent. We’re in our 30s and 40s and it took us about two hours with several stops for photos and the drink water. The terrain is treacherous at times. Make sure you wear the appropriate shoes with tread and waterproofing if possible as it is very muddy in some areas. The views and experience is absolutely worth it though!
Brianna M — Google review
Very beautiful hike. WARNING for anyone that wants to do this hike but isn’t a seasoned hiker: start from Vernazza and go towards Monterosso!! I started from Monterosso and it was a LOT of steep stairs & uphill. I read a review from someone on here who talked about having to climb up on all fours… while I didn’t get to that level I DEFINITELY was feeling that review to my core 😂😭 If I were to do it again, I would start from Vernazza. It’s doable both ways, but know that it will be more difficult if you start from Monterosso. The views will be beautiful & the same whichever town you start from. I had to take a lot of breaks, but many people (both old & young) did the same so I didn’t feel too left out. I recommend you do the hike early in the morning or towards late afternoon, that way you can have a little bit of a breeze and it’s not constantly hot. For reference, we did the hike with a lot of breezes and I STILL had my shirt drenched with sweat. If it is rainy, be careful!! Wear appropriate shoes for that. We did it while it was sunny & dry but there were many areas that were slip-potential. Also, you can access the viewpoint of the Vernazza background for picture-taking WITHOUT having to hike. I have included a picture so you know which viewpoint I’m talking about.
Deniz N — Google review
Beautiful hike! Definitely lots of stairs, which worked up quite a sweat in the heat. Views were totally worth it. Also, there was a small cat community (with little cat houses) that lives along the hike route close to Vernazza. A sign asks visitors to bring cat food/water because they have no owners. Really sweet cats!

Centuries-old, hilltop castle with history & archaeological displays, guided tours & valley views.
A beautifully preserved fortress perched high above the valley. From the Piazza, in front of the church in Bardi, one takes a walk down the quaint main street towards the castle. Once down the magnificent structure towers above. Keeping to the left, climb up, through the gates and onto the courtyard area. It affords wonderful views and also has exhibits of artefacts through the centuries. Well worth a visit.

Impressive medieval castle on a hilltop over a village. It's BIG and just after the holiday season it was almost deserted. We spent an hour or two roaming the ramparts, the many rooms (including a fascinating exhibition of 29th century socialist paintings) - and yes, the torture dungeon as well. We were pleasantly surprised to be left to roam the place on our own accord. The view of the valley from the ramparts is stunning.

Sitting high up on the hill in Montallegro, this is the first thing you see when you arrive via the Cable Car. It's just a short 10 min stroll to the church which is very pretty on the outside and highly decorated on the inside. A little more modern than other churches we have witnessed in surrounding towns and there are many tributes and photographs of loved ones who have past. They also have a gift shop if you feel the need to make a purchase.

We took the Tram up the the church, nice views. Its very peaceful amd you could contunue hiking around the back. There is also a restaurant behind the church. Inside the church locals were lighting candles and the ceilings were painted with bible stories. It seems this church serves as a sort of place of remembrance for deceased members, as silver hearts are hung everywhere. A small room in the back contains a miniature of the Church.

Ponte Gobbo - Hunchbacked Bridge

Sights & Landmarks
Hiking area
Ponte Gobbo, also known as the Hunchbacked Bridge, is a landmark bridge with a rich history dating back to Roman times. Rebuilt in the 17th century, it features an irregular up and down path and is characterized by its humpback structure supported by eleven stone arches of different height and width. This iconic bridge is a symbol of Bobbio town and is closely linked to the legend of Saint Columbanus and the Devil.
Not only have I been staying in Italy’s most beautiful village (2019). Bobbio is located in the heart of Val Trebbia, a valley described by Ernest Hemingway as "the most beautiful in the world". I discovered last night: “Historians have speculated that Bobbio was the town in which Leonardo da Vinci completed the Mona Lisa. Carla Glori in December 2011 has published her book Enigma Leonardo:decifrazioni e scoperte where the background of the portrait has been identified as the landscape of Bobbio.

Beautiful place, in fact the village has been awarded as the most beautiful village in Italy couple of years back. I fully agree with that! Since we went on Xmas day, there were literally nobody around. The drive through the hill (last 10-15mins of drive) is bit difficult since the width of the road is just enough for one vehicle. But with almost no traffic, seems to be ok. I love to visit the tourist places when it is empty, and I am glad I picked the Xmas day for the visit. There is a restaurant near this bridge, but was closed. The village also was very quite. Just my kind of place!
