15 things to do in Pistoia and its surroundings

Pistoia is a town of about 90,000 inhabitants and is the capital of its homonymous province in Tuscany. Its territory is crossed by many torrential watercourses, the main one of which is the Ombrone Pistoiese.

Moving a few kilometers, it is possible to visit Monte Cimone, the highest Apennine peak in Emilia Romagna, or Montecatini Alto, a fraction of Montecatini Terme, declared a UNESCO heritage site in the Great spa cities of Europe, because it hosts an important spa which is the hub of its tourism.
