Montecatini Alto Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

On the Piazza Giuseppe Giusti there are lots of nice bars and restaurants that invite you to stop by. The piazza itself with its buildings is absolutely worth seeing.

July 15, 2025,Wanderung vom Hotel nach Montecatini Alto und zurück

Today, the temperature here was 34 degrees Celsius. We took the electric-powered, 1km-long cable railway, built in 1898, up the mountain.

Made a stopover in Montecatini Terme on the way to Florence.
The oldest funicular in Italy takes you up to the Montecatini Alto mountain with the beautiful historic village. Up here you have a wonderful view of the Tuscan countryside.

August 30, 2021,Vom Campingplatz nach Montecatini alto, M. Terme und zurück

Highly recommended tour from Camping Belsito to Montecatini alto, down the Way of the Cross to Montecatini Terme. There, immerse yourself in the morbid charm of the old health resort and then take the funicular back to M. Alto.
Visit the place with watchful eyes, enjoy an ice cream or eat a pizza and the day was good.
