Prato is more than just textiles; its medieval soul is a hidden gem and the perfect weekend getaway. From the Emperor’s Castle to the Cathedral’s masterpieces and the house of Francesco Datini (the world-famous “Merchant of Prato”), we’ll lead you through history.
We believe in sustainable tourism: whenever there’s no entry fee, our association makes a small donation to support the local heritage.
The ultimate finale? A taste of the city’s legendary almond biscuits!
