Prato is much more than just textiles and industry: its medieval heart is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, making it the perfect destination for an art-filled weekend. From the Emperor’s Castle and the Cathedral to the home of Francesco Datini—the legendary ‘Merchant of Prato’—we will lead you on a journey through time.The itinerary is further enriched by a visit to the Textile Museum, housed in the evocative former Cimatoria Campolmi. Here, the city’s centuries-old tradition meets innovation and recycling, revealing the soul of a district that has turned regeneration into its greatest strength.
Our tour celebrates sustainable tourism: where entry is free, our association makes a small donation to support and preserve the beauty that hosts us. The perfect finale? A taste of traditional cantucci biscuits!
