Step back in time and explore the enchanting town of Pontremoli, one of Tuscany's hidden gems. Nestled in the historic Lunigiana region, once known as the "Gateway to Tuscany", this charming medieval village is filled with cobbled streets, elegant palaces, ancient churches and picturesque squares.
A charming little train will take you from the coach park into the heart of the old town, where you'll discover highlights such as Piazza della Repubblica, the historic Pavesi and Bocconi mansions, the impressive 36-metre bell tower, and the beautiful marble façade of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. With its maze of narrow lanes, medieval bridges and postcard-perfect corners, Pontremoli is a delight for photographers and lovers of authentic Italian villages alike.
During your visit, you'll enjoy a tasting of local delicacies at a traditional venue before being treated to a special farewell song, providing a memorable end to your Tuscan adventure.
