    Highly recommended and impactful experience especially in the final part, very attentive guide with very clarifying explanations. The only comments that can be made are that better accuracy is needed in the meeting place and pick-up with the guide's jeep, when you go by car and the total price of the experience can be excessive.

Carrara Tours and Activities | Top Things to Do in Italy

Nestled in the foothills of the Apuan Alps, Carrara charms visitors with its blend of artistic heritage and natural beauty. This Italian town is renowned worldwide for its gleaming white marble—a material that has shaped not only its landscape, but also its culture and economy for centuries. With its winding streets, elegant architecture, and lively piazzas, Carrara offers a true taste of Tuscany beyond the usual tourist trails.

A Brief Look Back in Time

Carrara's history is deeply linked to its famous marble quarries, which have been in operation since Roman times. Artists like Michelangelo sought the flawless marble for their masterpieces, and the stone was used in many iconic buildings across Europe. Over the years, marble extraction shaped Carrara’s identity, making it not just a center of industry but also a hub for sculptors and craftsmen.

When to Visit

Spring and early autumn are ideal times to explore the area, when the weather is pleasantly mild and the crowds are fewer. During these seasons, the surrounding mountains offer inviting hiking trails and panoramic views. Summer can be a good choice if you enjoy lively local festivals.
