Montecatini Terme
Montecatini Terme is heaven for those who love spa treatments! The curative powers of the hot springs and steaming vaporous caverns of the Valdinevole have been renowned for centuries. The Parco dei Termi, a long park of neoclassical temples expanding over the sources of various underground hot springs is the ideal place for relaxation. Here you will find Terme Tettuccio, a historic spa famous for its thermal waters. It`s a lavish Liberty-style building with a park was built in the latter part of the 18th century by Leopold of Hasburg, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. He also had two other spas built, the Regina and the Leopoldine, and the three spas made this area famous all over Europe, boasting their obvious riches and royalty. There is also the Grotto of Monsummano, a series of lime caves with a steaming lake and hot rooms that are said to cure people who enter. But it`s not only spas! Walk the town`s main street of Viale Verdi ; visit the Hamlet of Montecatini Alto with ancient castles, churches and towers upon an enchanting hill; and go to Piazza Giusti, an ancient sanctuary with its original stone flooring and noble coat of arms. There is also the Parlascio, a historic site of public markets and assemblies, the town center`s historic fountains, as well as the Roman Church of Saint Peter with its gorgeous paintings spanning through several historical ages. Distances: Florence - 31 miles, Pisa - 33 miles, Siena - 74 miles

Lucca
Lovely Lucca is one of Tuscany`s true gems. This little medieval city is located very close to Pisa and many consider, much more attractive and charming. You enter the historic town via one of the four gates in the city wall encircling Lucca. As Lucca has not seen a war since the 1400s, the architecture with the historic center (inside the walls) is well-preserved and features beautiful churches and remains of a Roman amphitheater. If you plan to travel to Tuscany, you should not miss this city! Recommended Stay: At least 3 nights Must See`s: Roman Amphitheater, Duomo di San Martino, Torre Guinigi, Torre delle Ore, Palazzo Mansi, Saint Michael`s Church, San Frediano`s Church, Via Fillungo(main street), Palazzo Pfanner, Piazza Napoleone, Domus Romana, and so much more!
