An old town nestled atop the rolling hills above Montecatini Terme, boasting a great plaza with popular restaurants and an August favourite ice cream spot.
Montecatini Alto, a picturesque medieval town perched atop rolling hills. If you're feeling active, take in breathtaking panoramas on a scenic 45-minute hike, but don't forget to bring sensible shoes for the steep ascent. Alternatively, for a more leisurely experience, hop on the traditional funicular, available for as little as €7.50, which runs regularly during the seasonal months from the end of March to late October (be sure to double-check beforehand!). Once you arrive, treat your taste buds at restaurants such as Platea, a truly authentic Italian restaurant. And for the ultimate indulgence, be sure to stop by the renowned ice cream shop in the main square, a favorite of both the August team and visitors alike.
