DETAILS: VOLTERRA from Livorno (5-7 hrs)

Volterra
Like San Gimignano, Volterra seems to have been plucked right out the Medieval epoch. The once Etruscan city sits high on a rocky plateau and is protected by Medieval ramparts. You are in a place where the magic of history is still alive!

Volterra is also noted for its alabaster, which comes from the surrounding hills. You will find an array of gorgeous hand crafted alabaster objects on every corner.

We have permission to bring you right up to the main rotonda of Volterra, just a few steps from Piazza dei Priori, saving you the grief of the many, many stairs one must take from public and bus parking.

In Volterra the tour highlights include:

  • Piazza dei Priori and the clocktower (made famous by the Twilight series)
  • Beautiful shops and boutiques of all sorts
  • The Roman theatre
  • The 2,500 year old Etruscan wall, a section of which still stands
  • Pinacoteca Comunale, with many fine works from the 14th-17th C, including the spectacular Deposition by Rosso Fiorentino
  • World-renowned Guarnacci Etruscan museum
  • A fascinating torture museum
  • Many lookout points from which to enjoy the spectacular countryside
