Old glory. Park is closed and it was nearly impossible to get to the bridge. Also quite disturbing to see statues of Poetin and Trump, those folks don’t deserve a statue

Nice experience! At a certain point the height is 32m and the view is great. Definitely recommend it even for the people who are afraid of heights.

Beautiful area, breathtaking view! Not recommended for who terrified of heights.

A long bridge made with metal grid, rocking left and right. Not too scary, it's impossibile to fall and the sight is beautiful. Anyway if you have a dog be careful about the grid, it's dangerous for pet nails. We had to bring our dog in our arms and it's not easy given that the space on the bridge is small. When people come from the other way it's difficult to pass.

Worth a visit if you're in the area. Beautiful mountain location. Easy to park close by and takes about 10 mins or so to walk across the bridge and back

Nothing too special but a fun experience and nice views.

Great experience but not recommended if you suffer from vertigo 😖

(Translated by Google) THIS IS NOT A ROUTE FOR BEGINNERS. Insane climbing, you have to hold onto trees. It is not a lake, but a swamp. Full of mosquitoes and people doing whatever they want (screaming and shouting). You can't see any view (Original) NON È UN PERCORSO PER PRINCIPIANTI. Arrampicate assurde, dovete tenervi agli alberi. Non è un lago, ma una palude. Pieno di zanzare e di gente che fa come gli pare (urla e schiamazzi). Non si vede alcun panorama

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, not particularly difficult, trail. I recommend leaving your car at the botanical garden, after which a relatively easy 40-minute walk will take you to the shepherds' hut. From there, there are two routes to the black lake: one that's more scenic and easy, lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes, and one that's more strenuous, especially the last 500 meters of woodland, where there's a steep, rocky section. Finally, a field of endless blueberries opens up, taking you halfway. There, you can find refreshments, as volunteers offer coffee, tarts, and other items, and overnight accommodations are available. The lake is inhabited by numerous newts. (Original) Bel percorso non difficilissimo. Consiglio di lasciare la macchina all'orto botanico, dopodiché una camminata abbastanza facile di 40 minuti vi porterà alla casetta dei pastori. Da lì, 2 percorsi per arrivare al lago nero, uno di 1h40 più panoramico e semplice e uno di circa 45 minuti più faticoso, specialmente gli ultimi 500 metri di bosco dove c'è un tratto ripido e sassoso. Alla fine si apre una distesa di mirtilli infiniti che vi porterà alla metà. Lì potete trovare ristoro in quanto ci sono volontari che gestiscono ad offerta, caffè, crostate ed altro, con possibilità di pernotto. Il lago è abitato da moltissimi tritoni

(Translated by Google) Climbing from Abetone, you reach the refuge in 2.5 hours. The refuge is managed by volunteers from the Pistoia CAI (Italian Alpine Club), who are always very helpful and friendly. You can enjoy a snack of cakes, polenta and cheese, or mistalina (ricotta and blueberries), along with a good grappa, tea, or coffee, leaving a free-will offering. There's a grill station, but fires and swimming in the lake are prohibited elsewhere in the area. There's space to pitch tents. (Original) Saliti da Abetone, in 2h 30” si raggiunge il posto. Rifugio gestito dai volontari del CAI di Pistoia, sempre molto disponibili e cordiali. Possibilità di fare merenda con torte, polenta e formaggio o mirtillina(ricotta e mirtilli) e bevendo un buon grappino, the o caffè, lasciando un’offerta libera. C’è una postazione griglia, ma nel resto della zona è vietato accendere fuochi e fare il bagno nel lago. Spazio per piantare le tende.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful hiking trail starting from the Abetone Botanical Garden. Once you leave the forest, the moorland with blueberry orchards opens up. Stunning views. A lot of climbing, but doable. Pay attention to the trail signs in the forest. Go with a guide or a trail map. There's no phone reception anywhere. (Original) Bel percorso trekking partendo dall'orto botanico dell'Abetone. Usciti dal bosco si apre la brughiera con i mirtilleti. Panorama stupendo. Molta salita ma fattibile. Stare attenti ai segnali del percorso nel bosco. Andarci comunque o con guida o con mappa sentiero. Il telefono non prende in nessun punto

(Translated by Google) We tried to reach it by taking the path in the woods starting from the botanical garden but at the last stretch we had to give up because it forces you to go up a very steep climb with rocks and since my husband is visually impaired we couldn't do it, so much effort for nothing (Original) Noi abbiamo cercato di raggiungerlo facendo il sentiero nel bosco partendo dall orto botanico a all'ultimo tratto abbiamo dovuto rinunciare perché ti obbliga a fare una salita ripidissima con sassi ed essendo ipovedente mio marito non abbiamo potuto farla ,tanta fatica xnulla

(Translated by Google) Beautiful lake, full of campers and bivouac. (Original) Bellissimo lago, pieno di campeggiatori e bivacco.

(Translated by Google) Located at the top of Abetone, it's a beautiful and peaceful place to stop. There's a bivouac run by volunteers who maintain it and make it very welcoming. (Original) Situato in cima all’abetone è un posto super bello e tranquillo dove dover passare. C’è un bivacco gestito da dei ragazzi volontari che lo tengono e rendono molto accogliente

Beautiful place, hidden treasure - off the beaten track in Tuscany. Trekking shoes necessary and be prepared to walk through beautiful clear water. Reservation needed to enter the park with the "Carabinieri Forestali" who register everyone who goes in. Can be done as a day trip from Florence.

For me it was a really extreme and dangerous trip. Views are worth it, but... 1. There are almost no information how to walk on this way. You must just go as you see how the river flows. There are easier and more hard tracks but you just have to find them by myself. 2. There are also no railings that you can catch if you are going to slip. There are a few ropes, but just in those places when you are going to climb a rock that is 5 meters above your head. 3. On 3/4 of your trip you are going to walk in water, which is really cold even if there is a really hot weather. Also, because of the river, all rocks there are wet almost all the time so you are going to fall into the water at least one time. Even special shoes for hitchhiking won't help you. 4. You must leave the park before 6 p.m. There are an option that carabinieri won't let you go to the park before other people will leave it, and then you will wait a few hours to enter the park, so I reccomend going there in early morning. 5. I do not reccomend going here with small kids. Also, people shorter than 160 centimeters might find it hard to pass the water sometimes. Sooo... in conlusion- be really careful.

Amazing. Wow and again amazing! If ever in Tuscany take a trip to an amazing hidden gem. Appropriate shoes recommended. The best is to go with the first group in the morning where there is not yet crowded.

We didn't know we had to book for a guided tour to the Orrido and rent a helmet: there were many tourists it was all packed for that day (early August), so we couldn't visit it. Luckily, there is a short steep trail as an alternative, but it's pretty disappointing. Conversely, the restaurant located in the area is excellent and not too expensive!

Excellent place! Beautiful, peaceful and full of adventure!!! Highly recommended! Go to Orrido! We had lots of fun!!!!!

Highly recommend visiting and completing full hike track! Was very enjoyable.

Great and unique experience! Be prepared to get wet though!

This is my favorite tower! We've been all over and my family likes to go up on tall things, but I'm afraid of heights. This tower was awesome! The planters and center area were far enough back that I was totally fine hanging out at the top, without my fear causing me issues. It's a long climb up with a great view. I like that they also give families a little break on the price.

Great view of Lucca from the top! Steps start easy- wide stone steps in sets of 10 or so, then when you get higher you've got a metal gantry with a fair amount of steps to climb, with a tight twist at the end. They hang out into space which was a bit scary as I am NOT good with heights but it was worth it!

A stunning view of one of the most authentic cities in Tuscany. Lucca is known as the “city of one hundred churches” and one tower - a true example of genius in simplicity. The climb is relatively quick and not too difficult, with spots to rest along the way. Reaching the top, you find yourself on a small 20-square-meter island among the trees, surrounded by mountains. It’s an incredible feeling. They’ve even managed to grow new trees up there — a tiny garden raised high above the city. The view is breathtaking from nearly every angle!

To my opinion this is a number one place to visit in Lucca. Its quite unique to see such a 45 m high tower made of brick and stone of local Romanesque-Gothic architecture with trees growing on its top. Just imagine, in the beginning of 14th century there was about 250 towers in Lucca! And as for every tower, if you climb up 233 steps you'll be awarded by 360deg view of old city of Lucca and surrounding mountains. View is stunning, just keep in mind the upper platform is very small that you can barely surround it because of crowds. Entrance is from behind the tower, not on the main street. If you want to buy ticket on place you'll have to probably wait about 15 minutes till the new slot is released, as this place is the most visited in the city. To buy tickets online its very difficult as the website doesn't work properly.

Interesting tower with the trees on top with great views of Lucca. Relatively wide stairs most of the way too (with the exception of just a few at the end) compared to many of the Tuscan towers. Worth a climb!

Good fun getting up all the 230 odd steps! Well worth it for the fantastic panoramic views of Lucca! Good exhibition of the artist Antonio Bueno included in the ticket price.

Fantastic place to visit. Not many people as Lucca feels like a place that hasn’t been discovered by tour guides. We paid to go up the Guinigi Tower and very glad we did. You have to be physically able to climb steep steps, and the top section is very narrow. If you have a larger waist it could be difficult. The views at the top were stunning, and the trees on top was a very unique thing to experience.

Lovely. Definitely worth the detour. Next time I definitely need to lock in a proper guide. There's so much history there. Definitely a 5 stars once the refurbishments are completed and the Volto Santo is back. So sad we missed it, but an opportunity to come back!

A cathedral with a truly impressive history - its foundation dates back nearly a thousand years! Inside, you’ll find stunning works of sculpture, painting, and stained glass by renowned Tuscan masters. For example, Giorgio Vasari called the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto one of the greatest masterpieces of 15th-century sculpture. The most breathtaking part of the cathedral is its western façade, built in the Roman-Pisan style and completely covered in sculptures and mosaics - you could spend hours admiring the details. At the entrance, you’ll also find allegorical images of the months - it's fun to look for your birth month or zodiac sign. The cathedral labyrinth - the smallest known to exist in any church - is carved into the stone of one of the entrance pillars. The Latin inscription states:“the same labyrinth built by Daedalus the Cretan, from which no one who enters can escape, except Theseus, thanks to the thread of Ariadne.“

We obtained the ticket for the bell tower the cathedral, museum and the other church with underground archaeological remains, very good value. All three sites were amazing, especially the bell tower,a lot of steps but worth it.

A must visit place in lucca. Such an amazing architecture and interior design. Fortunately the tickets were really cheap too. And inside you can see a few interesting historical object too

Lucca is one of those places that doesn’t try to impress you at first glance—it quietly grows on you with its charm and authenticity. Located just a short drive from Pisa, it offers a much calmer, more genuine atmosphere. What makes Lucca truly special are its perfectly preserved medieval walls, which now serve as a leafy promenade encircling the historic center. Walking or cycling the walls provides a unique perspective of the city’s rooftops, gardens, and bell towers. Inside the walls, you’ll find a maze of narrow streets, inviting piazzas, Romanesque churches, and elegant Renaissance buildings. A standout is the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, built on the site of a Roman amphitheater—the oval shape is still clearly visible and creates a unique setting that’s both historic and intimate. Lucca is also known as the city of music (birthplace of composer Giacomo Puccini), of crafts, and of quiet cafes tucked into peaceful corners. It may not overwhelm with grandeur, but it gently captivates those who give it time. A must-visit for travelers seeking the soul of Tuscany, far from the crowds.

Beyond its stunning Pisan-Luccan Romanesque facade, the cathedral charmed us with its Renaissance interiors and fascinating foundation excavations. The excavations were incredibly educational, taking us on a 2,100-year journey through the various layers of the Duomo's past. The lowest layer revealed a former Roman residence, while the next showed a public Roman thermae that later became a Lombard necropolis. During 400 AD the place turned to early Christian church. It definitely was a memorable visit!

Beautiful Italian Cathedral in Lucca. €4 entrance fee. Worth the visit to sit in quiet prayer or admire the architecture and artwork.

Really interesting to think this was once Amphitheatre. Restaurants spill out all around. But note, that during nearly the whole month of October there is a big tent rught in the center, obstructing the view. This is used for Event Comic Lucca last week of October, where 250,000 people will descend upon this city.

Quite a unique place. Oval square in the middle of the walled city of Lucca was a Roman amphitheater back in ancient times and with its destruction, houses were build on its place on the same plot, so the houses are build facing oval square. Place is accessible via 4 entrances from north, east, west and south, like all streets alignment in old Lucca since Roman times. Place is full of restaurants and bars where one can sit and drink aperol and enjoy the wonderful time in Lucca.

Excellent piazza a Lucca. Bit touristy in terms of food. Great homeware shop Le sorrel I think.

Historic amphitheatre from Roman times redeveloped into housing and restaurants/shops and free to visit.. Lots of restaurants to dine Al fresco.

Small, beautiful gardens, interesting display inside, worth stopping in if you're close

Amaizing piazza! 🎯 Worth visiting Lucca just for this view, It is like you enter a medieval period with all the buildings around the piazza adding to the feeling and the vibe!

This place is nice to have a drink after dwelling through it’s surrounding alleys. Lucca more in general is great to have a weekend. Visit !!

A LOVELY SURPRISE. We booked this after seeing the poster outside as we walked nearby. The concert deserved much better publicity. Having seen many amateurish ‘tourist opera’ performances in Italian cities in the past we were sceptical ( Sorrento Three Tenors was the worst )… but the standard was high and professional with a programme of all Puccini arias. The finale was the gorgeous Love Duet from Madama Butterfly. The programmes and soloists are different every night so you could have many days of pleasure. Not sure why tickets must be bought for cash ( we are in travel industry and have never struck this before ). A good night with the dedication and voice of soprano Deborah Vincenti deserving a special mention. The accompanist needs to provide more support in tone and commitment ( looked a bit ‘over it’)

A wonderful dive into Italian culture. It was great and intimate. I can also recommend it with children (who generally like concerts) since it doesn't last too long (about one hour).

A most magnificent concert (July 11, 2025): excellence and emotion and drama at its best. And, with Lucca’s own Diego Fiorini at the piano, a Turandot FANTASIA that was sublime….

(Translated by Google) Superb. Every evening 1 hour of concert. Not to be missed. (Original) Superb. In fiecare seara 1 ora de concert. Nu trebuie ratat.

(Translated by Google) Pure opera and on a very high artistic level that is often no longer found in theaters - fantastic and unexpected. Highly recommended for enthusiasts and those who would like to learn about the world of opera. A thousand thanks! (Original) Opera pura e su un livello artistico molto alto che spesso non si trova più nei teatri - fantastico e inaspettato. Consigliatissimo per appassionati e quelli che vorrebbero conoscere il mondo dell'opera. Grazie mille!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful event not to be missed if you are in Lucca. A tribute to Puccini and the opera in the evocative context of the San Giovanni church. 1 hour starting from 7.15pm every evening. This year free entry for Italian citizens and residents. Not to be missed. (Original) Un bellissimo appuntamento da non perdere se si è a Lucca. Un tributo a Puccini e l’opera nel suggestivo contesto della chiesa San Giovanni. 1 ora a partire dalle 19:15 tutte le sere. Quest’anno ingressso gratuito per cittadini Italiani e residenti. Da non perdere.

(Translated by Google) Very good!! Inside a church An hour. Excellent repertoire. (Original) Muy bueno!! Dentro de una iglesias Una hora. Excelente repertorio.

We visited Lucca, The Walled City, on our way to catch a train to Cinque Terre. Although we did not have enough time to thoroughly explore and appreciate the beautiful architecture and art, we were happy that we spent several hours here.

The Basilica is definitely worth a visit. It doesn't look very special from the outside, but the interior and the tower have interesting architecture. You can choose a ticket just for the church or one that includes the tower — the view from the top is great. The church was founded by an Irish bishop. One of the most popular saints here is Saint Zita, whose remains are in one of the chapels. She’s the patron saint of domestic workers, which was her own job.

You’ve seen the classic mosaic on the exterior - a landmark church in Lucca. And it is worth the ticket price to go inside to see the old art and architecture. Turn the corner to one of the chapels and see Saint Zita entombed in her glass coffin. Kinda cool and creepy at the same time.

newly restored mosaic on the front façade of the church is its best part. You can also climb the bell tower, but i didn't enter due the lack of time. Nice small square with cafes in front of the church. Church had paid entry.

Most extraordinary church facade. The city’s patron saint is preserved inside, attracting many followers daily. The week I was there happens to be her festival, there are flower display in front of the church that is like a mini-golf course with a garden and a pond. It charges an entrance fee but worth the visit.

The church is one of the oldest in Lucca. It costs €3 to enter. You can purchase the ticket online or when you arrive. The church is open 9am to 6pm. When you enter the lady provides you with an information leaflet in your language. As you approach the church there is a large mosaic on the outside of the church and a number of frescos inside the church. Each look like they are painted yesterday. Once inside the church look up at the ceiling as this beautiful.

St Zita really deserves her sainthood. The church is incredibly cute and serene, but when you enter her chapel and see this lady’s small but sturdy body, you are lit up with an incredible energy and levity. I never experienced anything quite like it. The whole space beams with her positive energy and you get a smile downloaded to your face immediately. Who knew mummies could make one feel so good?

Very unique place of the walled city of Lucca. Its almost whole round walkable on the top of the walls or street inside the walls. Plenty of trees, walkways are suitable for jogging and fitness exercises and walking of the locals. very calm green place. From the walls you can see the old city and also outside, small water channels under the wall. All around are about 11 bastions and couple of gates to the city. The wall is 4 km long and is among the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in Europe, and the second largest intact example of a fully walled Renaissance city after Nicosia on Cyprus.

A short walk...even with your roller bag...from the train station to the walls of Lucca. I always get a smile when the gate comes into view. The walled city of Lucca still holds plenty of lore with its many restaurants and merchants. This trip we stayed at the Grand Universe right in the center of Lucca so we could be immersed in the city culture and people.

We used the ramp at Porta di San Pietro to take a one-hour stroll anticlockwise along the wall. The views of the old city on one side and of the Lucca hills and Apuan Alps on the other are charming and inspiring. Due to lack of time we were not able to walk the entire length (4.4 km) of the wall, but the segment we did, was organized as a usual public park. The park would benefit of informative panels that could provide visitors with historical context and details on the surrounding area.

Well worth seeing. Amazing. Careful with toddlwrs near the top as its a sheer drop

Fun way to visit the city. You can walk, stroll, bike, we rent a 6 person bike. 1-2h walking.

My favourite part of our visit to Lucca was the Mura di Lucca. An absolutely brilliant use of the city wall by having a multipurpose recreational trail on top of the wall! Paved for walking and wheeling, the many ramps give ready access for users. The bulwarks of the wall have parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Several museums and the Botanical gardens are accessed from the trail. The Mura also has several gates as well as pedestrian tunnels. Stunning views of the hills surrounding Lucca. Worth a saunter!

Amazing and beautiful scenery. You can either walk around on the walls or rent a bicycle for faster movement. The view from the walls is truly beautiful.

The outside of the church is framed by stunning marble columns and reliefs. Inside, everything seems simple, if you don't know one interesting secret- there are intriguing hand-drawn animal figures on some of the columns. These drawings are examples of medieval graffiti, created by pilgrims, clergy, or local visitors during the Middle Ages. Such graffiti often included ships, cities, and animals, reflecting personal experiences, devotional expressions, or observations of daily life. They serve as a testament to the human connection and continuity within sacred spaces across generations.

After seeing it the second time, it is still just as cool as the first. It is leaning for sure and it is a beautiful building. Crazy to see the "adjustment" they made on the middle floors if you look close enough. Still hate the fact that nobody follows the rules about staying off grass and people standing inside the no go zone for their pictures. Everyone is more important than anyone else. And unless you live within walking distance leave your dog at home.

Most beautiful church in Lucca specially for its façade from 14th century with large sculptures and inlays, as the church itself is much older. Church is dedicated to Archangel Michael which 4m high statue is on the top of the main façade between two other angels. "In Foro" means that it was build over Roman Forum. church inside is a basilica type one with less decoration, and there is an organ. Under the altar there is a mummified body of pilgrim San Divino Armeno that died 1050, oldest known mummified saint in Italy. Entrance is free.

This is so gorgeous, spectacular! The external is super nice. Captivating and worth all photo taking. It is free to enter and visit. You would find the interior less spectacular but it has its charm. Definitely a visit. You can also enjoy the building for some food or drinks or dessert just near the place.

Although we didnt have enough time to explore the interiors, the architecture alone is enough for a visit. Also there are many cafe and shops nearby to rest and enjoy some aperol.

Actually the centre of lucca chiesa di san michele. If you want to visit the centre of lucca, drinks or soothing evening. This is the best place to visit. Lucca is different, it has its own vibes

Stunning! There isn't a lot you can say, but it certainly was beautiful

Make sure you check the hours before you visit, as the museum is only open a couple hours per week. We were greeted by a very nice man who told us about the museum. The museum and church are small, but interesting. Well worth a side trip if you are in the area. Total visit length under 45 minutes.

Very interesting museum and experience! The two hosts were very welcoming and knowledgeable. They were very engaged in sharing the history and scientific discoveries of the site. Would recommend driving up there for this unique site and charming little village.

A truly wonderful place to visit, we have taken many people on our tours to here.

Amazing.

We loved the history in this beautiful museum/church. We received a tour by an very knowledgeable young boy.

Fantastic

(Translated by Google) Very particular and special little museum. The management is very friendly and available to answer questions. Some exhibits are touching, others a bit horrifying, they tell a significant part of the history of this small and loving village. Thank you (Original) Piccolo museo molto particolare e speciale. La gestione è molto cordiale e disponibile a rispondere alle curiosità. Alcuni reperti sono commoventi, altri un po' raccapriccianti, raccontano una parte significativa della storia di questo piccolo ed amorevole borgo. Grazie

Good place to pick fresh food.

A huge indoor market selling fabulous local fruit, vegetables,breads,meat,fish, wine, pastries, fresh pasta etc from well stocked stands full of people doing their food shopping. Loads of different bruschetta's also available one more inventive than the other. Be careful of gypsy women pickpockets , who are active in spite of strong security.

We mainly came to use the free washrooms in the market. It's a bit old. But it's also a good experience for us to walk around this local market. The free wifi service didn't work for us, though. Couldn't figure out how to register for it because the language was Italian.

Do yourself a favour if you like seafood and come here. Restaurants round the side cook seafood of your choice from the stalls in the market, you won't get fresher or seafood cooked better elsewhere from people that know simple Italian cooking using the freshest ingredients

We were visiting Livorno and came here to check out this popular central market place. It’s got many vendors selling baked goods, meats, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, and some other items. They have food vendors inside as well. The entire place is interesting and clearly been around a long time. It was about 2/3 populated with vendors, so there were plenty of empty spaces. Overall, it’s one of the very few things to see/do in Livorno. There isn’t a lot going on in this town otherwise.

We had breakfast here as many days as we could when we were visiting! You have to try the cappuccino and the tuna-tomato-egg sandwich at the Oil Bar! And the sweet pastries (chocolate canoli and sweet croissant) from Pane.E.Dolci.Original (bakery right in front of Oil Bar - run by the sweetest old lady)! Insanely good breakfast! We also obviously bought a bottle of olive oil and a bag of pasta from the oil bar!

Very nice market, nice to go early morning when it's quiet. Good mix of fresh vegetables, meat, fish, cheese and all types of bread. A few are empty but still a nice experience. Nice to see all the fresh seafoods. Closed on Sunday but also on Monday the activity is low(er) and pretty limited choice so avoid going on a Monday.

This is a beautiful atmospheric place that will please lovers not only of delicious food, but also of modern art. There is great cuisine and delicious cocktails. For little money you will get a delicious dinner, a great drink, wonderful acquaintances and a creative atmosphere. We were happy to come here every day during our vacation in Livorno.

Wonderful little bar with a great atmosphere and friendly service from the staff. A couple of people were playing music on the piano and guitar inside, a lovely environment to sit in the sun next to the water and enjoy a drink.

Only in for a beer, but the atmosphere left us sitting there for a few more. Cosy and artistic. A couple were entertaining on the piano, and a singer with a great voice. With the lady owner on the saxophone. Just great.

Absolutely love this place. They always treat my sister, sister in law, my niece, and myself with such respect and kindness when we come out here. Whether we come out here together or separately, it’s always the same politeness from the staff. 12/10 service and atmosphere, the food is good as well. If you’re American or traveling from outside of here, or if you even live here, I highly recommend stopping by here 🫶🏼

Great vibes! Live music, piano etc. Perfect setting to watch the sun set. Cheap and cosy

Nice artistic bar with a terrace and live instruments for guests to play rhe piano or guitar. Go!

By far the best experience in Livorno and there were many. This bar is situated next to The Grand Hotel on the sea front. Never the same experience with musicians and artist all visiting to set the vibe with the owners many available musical instruments being loaned to all. We concluded every day of our visit here and met some wonderful people especially the owners. A true treasure of Livorno.

If you buy tickets in advance, entry is easy. When we were there it was a rainy day, and it was extremely busy. The aquarium is… nice. At best. Not necessarily worth a trip around. My kid liked the reptile space on the first floor the most.

Was a bit skeptic because of the ratings. I think it was very interesting, the tanks were clean, there were lots of different species, and the ants on the first floor were something I have never seen before. Maybe a bit expensive compared to its size but it was worth for us.

Went yesterday with my wife during our trip. We saw an ad for it and was sold. And what a great experience it was. I truelly never witnessed a sea turtle up this close, let alone see it swim. The place is great and its a nice entertainment to go during a holiday

Visited the aquarium — honestly, a complete waste of time and money. Tickets cost €15, and for that price, you’d expect at least something engaging. But the place is boring, and has very few animals. The only interesting part was taking a photo — and that says a lot. From what was actually interesting: a few fish, two big turtles, and three small sharks. That’s it. If you just want to look at water, some gloves, and a few random fish, you don’t need to pay €15 — all of that is available for free in the sea right next door.

We had lots of fun here. We have been twice now and loved it both times. First time we went was middle of the week and found it wasn't too busy we could get a sunbed and lockbox very easily with plenty of spare beds around us. The second time we went was very busy and couldn't get a sunbed even with getting to the park within 30 minutes of it opening but we still had the best time. Found a lockbox free in the sun. So we could still have a picnic in the sun and sunbath in between rides! Very clean and friendly staff all around. I would recommend you book a sunbed online before hand if you are wanting one!!

The exhibits were captivating, showcasing a diverse range of marine life. The facility was well-maintained, and the informative displays added to the visit's value. A must-see for marine enthusiasts visiting Livorno!

Small but we spent a good 1.5 hours there with the kids on a rainy day. Enjoyed it more than expected.

Beautiful location. The church itself is quite austere but pretty in a rustic sort of way. Beautiful views.

Ambiance ☑ Masterpiece ☐ Good ☐ Will do ☐ Bad ☐ Awful Service ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad Value for Money ☑ Worth it ☐ Average ☐ Expensive Recommendation ☑ Just go there ☐ Worth the experience ☐ Maybe if you’re nearby ☐ Not recommended

Amazing location with fantastic views from the top. Here for a wedding. Beautiful inside but on an extremely hot August day we thought it would be cooler inside but once filled with lots of people it wasn’t! Thank goodness we had fans to cool us down a bit.

Barga is a stunningly beautiful place and the Duomo is its crown, affording 360 degree views of the world below and around. We went before dusk, as the sun set behind mountains. The colors and the clarity of light were radiant!

The views up here are incredible. And it's truly a very peaceful site. The cathedral itself is very informative, and fortunately for us, someone had already put money in the light timer, so we see inside.

The 11th century cathedral with its Romanesque architecture sits at the topmost eleation of the historical center of the commune Barga, located strategically to provide a towering appearance. A walk up the historical center with cobblestone paved narrow roads, old mediaval looking houses, 19-20 th century cars is a treat indeed..

Top of the hill top of the view. This church dates as back as the 9th century but is possibly situated on a previous building. It got expanded and changed entirely through the centuries also due to natural events such as earthquakes. Amongst the "new" stones are easily distinguishable previus's construction material, that feels of an even better quality... Inside the church is also present an unfinished baptesimal bowl, with one of the knobs left uncarved.

Unfortunately, the Park Office was shut, and finding information on the walks was difficult. It seems local knowledge is required, which is tricky for a visiting Australian. I'm not sure why there are brown bears kept captive here either. The scenery and wildflowers were magnificent, as was the food at the cafe!

Friendly staff, nice park with beautiful places to picnic, play and chill BUT the two enclosures are way to small, especially the one for the bears. Just sad to see those wild animals (actually solitary) in that tiny cage. You have the space, why not use it? Make it 30times the size and it would be barely enough. Shame

.ost of the facilities were closed when we visited in early May.

A place when you can feel calm and zen.In the forest is a zoo with bears(u must pay ticket)

Perfect place to reset energy and spirit. Nice little local restaurants around the whole area, friendly employees.. it’s a dreamy spot ! Highly recommend to anyone who can appreciate nature

Lovely park with wild animals and nice walks.

Very beautiful natural park for family in the core of garfgnana

Maybe this is a place where you can trust all the comments. The beach is extremely tidy, the umbrellas and tents are comfy, and most importantly, Stefano and Claudia are such a treasure: you are welcomed with such a warm and friendly attitude, that you know that you will come back for sure. Stefano is around and can help you with everything. He is available on WhatsApp if you need any information. I can just highly recommend choosing Bagno Maurizio. Thanks for everything: Giorgio 😉

This is THE beach club! Stefano and Claudia are incredible hosts. Giving restaurant recommendations, calling for taxis. This isn’t just a business, you are family! Beautiful sea and beach with a variety of options, tents (cabana style) or umbrellas. We enjoyed our three days and will certainly return from our home in Orvieto. This is our Italian beach location.

Stefano and his colleague, whose name I unfortunately don’t know, provided excellent service! I waited about 20 minutes because there were other people ahead of me, but now that I know how great it is, I would gladly wait much longer! I went alone and paid only €10 for an umbrella, one sun lounger, and three chairs! I went out for lunch at 3 PM and came back at 4 PM, no problem at all! The locker cost €4 for the whole day, and I can go back to it as many times as I want — it works with our own fingerprint. Amazing! Highly recommend. A million stars! Thank you!

Maurizio beach is wonderful. Stefano who runs the family business is a lovely person who made us feel very welcome. The beach is exceptionally clean. The facilities are of a very high standard and very good value for money. €25 for two people for the whole day in August.

We were a group of 16 people and we had a really great day at bagno Maurizio. Stefano is the best guy here, friendly, funny and caretaking. The beach is really nice and everything is clean. Thank you for this nice experience.

There are 50more sunbathing places left to right, you can choose any of those. But Stefano and his sister provides “family feel like” service. You gonna come here and you will immediately meet owners. They are gonna greet you like they know you for ages. You gonna feel something very strange: feeling that you belong here, that they have been waiting for you. Even if you sad, their faces will make you immediately smile and they will fulfill your day. Absolutely incredible service, bathing place, toilets and everything else. I will come back here every single time i am in Viareggio. Bars with food and drinks are there as well. Thank you!

Such a great beach! It was very cheap for 2 people compared to other places, and Stefano was super kind and charming. Would definitely come back!

We came with three adults, ages 72, 46, 45, and kids ages 12 and 8, and we all loved it. We’ve been to some adventure parks in the United States, and we found this one to be the most challenging physically. You’ll definitely get a good workout. The staff was professional and helpful. Make sure you plan to arrive early so you can receive your instructions without missing time on the courses. There's about a 5-minute walk from the parking lot to the park. You can make reservations online, but you still don't pay until you arrive.

Great morning spent climbing and zip lining. Caters to all ages- we had 3 kids (6,9,11) and 2 adults. All left very happy!! Instructors were helpful and attentive. Lovely and cool in the forest- a nice break from the August searing heat! Recommend if in Garfagnana area.

Awesome place for young and old. The instructors are professional and friendly. They keep an eye on you to ensure you remain safe during your activities. There are climbing courses to suit all ages. The forest offers natural protection from the heat and even though we visited on a day with 32°c we were not bothered by the heat. At the end you will have had a good workout and be proud of your achievements. You can take your own food to grill or buy refreshments there. Will return again!

Fantastic. We had a lot of fun! Very nice instructors too.

Really lovely place - small courses for younger kids from about 4/5 up which our 7 year old (when 8 & 9 year old friends) loved, and a couple of larger zipwire courses for older kids & adults. Like Go Ape but much cheaper! Also a kids play area with swings etc and a cafe selling coffee, snacks/ice cream & even beer, all nice & shaded in the woods, so lovely on a hot day. Staff really friendly & great with the kids, even teaching them some Italian phrases while we had coffee! The walk down through the woods from the car park could be a bit treacherous for people with mobility problems or with babies in buggies, but apparently if you carry on on the road past the car park & go down between the side of the woods & the campo sportivo there is an easier/flatter way in. We called to reserve a time, but it was relatively quiet when we went (3pm on a weekday in school holidays).

Amazing rope adventure. It tested my tree climbing limits 😃

We had great time. Great staff as well.

I came here on a school trip with my class . very beautiful place and good for walking

Fortezza itself it is not very big and/or impressive but it has nice view. You have to pay 8/4 € to get in. There is a small cafe with good coffee and some variety of sweet&savory snacks. Nice service.

This beautiful Medieval fort has reopened, a historical place to visit. Thank you to the staff for the fun, info-packed tour. We hope more people, children, families will come to enjoy.

What an amazing place. Staff dressed in character costume and a lovely, authentic museum showing what it would have been like to live here back in the day. The staff showed us how the trebuchet worked (don’t worry about health & safety, as long as no one stands in the target area 100yds away, it’ll be ok). Loved every minute of our visit. Run by the community so please support them with a visit. Extremely reasonable entry cost.

Beautiful and well restored medieval fortress, right at the top of a rocky mount, with plenty of attractions and interesting guided tour. Well worth the trip. Ideal for children and grown ups.

Brilliant place. Walked from the activity centre ..about 30 minutes. Various activities for kids and the views are amazing! Need to plan times if using miniature railway for last section of walk up.

Great views of the lands the castle used to protect

A truely unusual piece of geology. The hike up is for nearly anyone (no wheelchairs or elderly). Rock climbers, take note. There are also 3 via ferrata. Charming rifugio (restaurant) at the base.

What an amazing place. There is only a little difficulty to reach the top of the plateau because of the unstable path. There is a bar at the beginning of the mountain and restrooms also for people with handicap. You can reach the top both using the path and climbing the steep sloops if you have enough skills. As far I can see there is also a climbing school for novice. The effort in order to reach the top is repaid with the amazing POV. Try to believe.

Huge recommendation for this place. Loved the view and the track to get on top (it's just "20" minutes and the only tough spot lasts for like 20 meters very close to the top). It's easy for adults and children.

Beautiful little spot, only takes 20 minutes to reach the top and once you do you can have a nice walk around the summit.

Great place. I had to take an hour nap after the trip but it was deffinitelly worth it.

Very beautiful, simple climb

Have you heard what happened on Pietra di Bismantowa today?

A great spot to find a good drink and a great view. We got a Pina Colada fragola and it tasted great. Plus the addition of the included bar snacks made this a relaxing and enjoyable rest stop on our beach trip. Would recommend everyone give Sunset Versilla a try.

We stopped here for a couple of cappacinios after a cycle along the sea front. Fantastic location and service. Worth a visit 🇮🇹👍

Amazing view with excellent service and food. Will surely go back

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy food and drinks and watch the sunset.

Breathtaking views with sunset. Good food and very kind people. Definitely recommend.

At the end of the public wharf - Sunset has what most other Camaiore locations lack - a beautiful view of the Med and of the Apuan Alps behind you. To boot, it has a cool constant breeze in the August heat. Server attitude was exceptional. Food was better than most places around here. I highly recommend it for a very pleasant relaxing experience.

Really good seafood and cocktails with a great view! Seafood restaurant that serves fresh fish for that day and doesn’t have a menu for lunch. Only downside are the prices are the highest I’ve paid in Italy! Paid around €50 for two mains and two aperol spritz.

Renowned and very popular. Fewer real bargains this year..few leather purses, but plenty of clothes, shoes, belts, linens. Inner row of vendors is more shaded and cooler!

I love Forte dei Marmi, since the first time I visited this beach side area around 5 years ago. Clean, luxury, safe and elegant are suitable words to describe this place. A must visit when you are in Versiglia area.

Crazy deals even on brand names.....look for cashmere and linen and belts at bargain prices. Get there before 9:30!

Not a place for me, also quite expensive. But for someone else it might be interesting.

You will wish you forgot your wallet home.. but shopping here and just walking the streets is an experience for it selves. After that find a small coffee shop and enjoy a little Italian espresso... You will need it!

Nice season market with many things to see & buy.

A very uniq market because it provides good fashion goods at cheap prices

Great place, they have good security. Seems a bit expensive and they limit you with time and that won't even get you to all if the activities.

I love it because there are many trails of varying levels of difficulty, including a couple of very challenging ones for those who are well trained. Kids and beginners also have plenty of options to get the right level of challenge and have fun. Recommended!

Amazing, escape from the heat in the wood & mountains… we all had so much fun, this park has a lot to offer for all ages!

Not worth travelling to. Out of the way and they do not update their website when they are closed. Drive over an hour to find a note at the entrance that they are closed for the day.

Kids loved playing and climbing in the trees. Reasonable value too

Very nice variety of climbing tracks for adults, super diverse options in the playground for younger kids. We had a wonderful day.

The park is big and well equipped. I found the ticket a bit pricey.

One of my favourite places..a fairies' place

Wow

(Translated by Google) The cathedral of San Moderanno, also known as the cathedral of Berceto, is a Catholic place of worship with Romanesque forms located in via Romea in Berceto, in the province and diocese of Parma; it is part of the pastoral area of ​​Berceto-Fornovo-Medesano. The original place of worship was built in the early medieval period; the oldest evidence of its existence dates back to the early 8th century, when a small church dedicated to Saint Abbondio stood on the site of today's cathedral. In 718 the bishop of Rennes Moderà left on a pilgrimage towards Rome; along his way he passed through the city of Reims, where the remains of Saint Remigius were kept, and he purchased some relics. According to tradition, traveling along the Via di Monte Bardone, which connected Parma with the Lunigiana allowing pilgrims to pass through the Apennine chain, he arrived near the Cisa pass and stopped there to rest, hanging the relics, which he forgot, on a tree upon resuming the journey; as soon as he realized it, he retraced his steps, but, after finding the tree he had been leaning on, despite numerous efforts he was unable to reach the branch on which he had attached his precious load, which had grown prodigiously; the plant lowered only when the bishop promised to leave the relics in Berceto. The following year the King of the Lombards Liutprando founded a Benedictine monastery near the ancient temple according to the rule of San Colombano di Bobbio, dedicating it to Saint Remigio and appointing Moderanno as its prior, who returned there after reaching Rome and following a final journey in his hometown. The small place of worship was then elevated to the status of an abbey church and in 879 it was assigned as a commenda to the Bishop of Parma Guibodo. In 1007 the monastery was closed, while the church, since then dedicated to San Moderanno, was raised to a parish church, directly dependent on the bishop of Parma Sigefredo II. Towards the end of the 12th century, the ancient Lombard place of worship was completely rebuilt in Romanesque style on a Latin cross layout, with three naves ending in three apses to the east. Between 1480 and 1502 the parish church underwent major renovation works, at the behest of the Count of Berceto Bertrando de' Rossi; on this occasion the pillars were rebuilt, the arches were replaced, a span was eliminated, the main apse was rebuilt in a square shape and the side naves and chapels were raised. In 1845, due to land subsidence, the façade, with the exception of the portal, was rebuilt in Romanesque style; the reconstruction works also involved the upper part of the bell tower. In 1971 the church underwent consolidation and conservative restoration works. (Original) Il duomo di San Moderanno, noto anche come duomo di Berceto, è un luogo di culto cattolico dalle forme romaniche situato in via Romea a Berceto, in provincia e diocesi di Parma; fa parte della zona pastorale di Berceto-Fornovo-Medesano. Il luogo di culto originario fu edificato in epoca altomedievale; la più antica testimonianza della sua esistenza risale ai primi anni dell'VIII secolo, quando sul luogo dell'odierno duomo sorgeva una piccola chiesa dedicata a sant'Abbondio. Nel 718 il vescovo di Rennes Moderanno partì in pellegrinaggio verso Roma; lungo il suo cammino passò per la città di Reims, ove erano conservate le spoglie di san Remigio, e ne acquistò alcune reliquie. Secondo la tradizione, percorrendo la via di Monte Bardone, che collegava Parma con la Lunigiana consentendo ai pellegrini un passaggio attraverso la catena appenninica, giunse nei pressi del passo della Cisa e vi si fermò per riposarsi, appendendo a una pianta le reliquie, che dimenticò alla ripresa del cammino; non appena se ne accorse, ritornò sui suoi passi, ma, dopo aver ritrovato l'albero a cui si era appoggiato, nonostante numerosi sforzi non riuscì a raggiungere il ramo su cui aveva attaccato il suo prezioso carico, cresciuto prodigiosamente; la pianta si riabbassò solo quando il vescovo promise di lasciare le reliquie a Berceto. L'anno seguente il re dei Longobardi Liutprando fondò in prossimità dell'antico tempio un monastero benedettino secondo la regola di San Colombano di Bobbio, dedicandolo a san Remigio e nominandone priore Moderanno, ivi rientrato dopo aver raggiunto Roma e in seguito a un ultimo viaggio nella sua città natale. Il piccolo luogo di culto fu quindi elevato a chiesa dell'abbazia e nell'879 fu assegnato in commenda al vescovo di Parma Guibodo. Nel 1007 il monastero fu chiuso, mentre la chiesa, da allora dedicata a san Moderanno, fu innalzata a pieve, dipendente direttamente dal vescovo di Parma Sigefredo II. Verso la fine del XII secolo l'antico luogo di culto longobardo fu completamente ricostruito in forme romaniche su un impianto a croce latina, con tre navate terminanti in altrettante absidi a est. Tra il 1480 e il 1502 la pieve fu sottoposta a importanti lavori di ristrutturazione, per volere del conte di Berceto Bertrando de' Rossi; in tale occasione furono riedificati i pilastri, furono sostituiti gli archi, fu eliminata una campata, fu ricostruita l'abside principale in forma squadrata e furono sopraelevate le navate laterali e le cappelle. Nel 1845 a causa di un cedimento del terreno la facciata, a eccezione del portale, fu riedificata in forme romaniche; i lavori di ricostruzione riguardarono anche la parte superiore del campanile. Nel 1971 la chiesa fu sottoposta a lavori di consolidamento e restauro conservativo.

Very plain food, only few dishes available, the wine options that let you down poor service.

58 euros for a mezzo litro of wine and a plate of salame and cheese. Never paid so much ANYWHERE in Italy Yes the cheese and charcuterie was good but it is theft. We were not aware of the price before they gave us the bill. We arrived when the kitchen was closed but they said they could offer a plate of mixed cheese and meat. We were clearly not expecting to pay so much and would have never agreed on this. Maybe it's our fault because we didn't ask before for the price We tried to play cards like we do in all the places we go but the owner told us we couldn't play 🤷🏻‍♂️ Overall a disappointing experience

Simple but exquisite local flavours in a relaxed environment. The Pisarei e faso, tortellini with sage and gutturnio wine were memorable experiences.

An amazing experience in a place with a lifespan of more than 5 generations. An ambiance as an old tavern, great wine and food in the heart of a medieval village in the hills just outside of Piacenza. I reccomend the wine in the traditional "scodelle", small porcelain bowls in the place of traditional wine glasses.

We loved the food and found the staff exceptionally friendly and kind.

Well worth the trip! Food and hospitality were second to none.

great food at very good value
