Travel information
Prato is the low-profile cousin of Florence and Pisa in the Central Italy region of Tuscany. Not as mobbed with tourists and without the typical tourist ripoffs it is nonetheless rich with history, art, and great food. It's a great place to stay and save a few dollars while doing day trips to Pisa or Florence.
By Air
The nearest airport is Florence, however very few flights arrive in Florence. The largest nearby airport is Pisa's which many airlines serve. Getting to Prato can be tricky as the nearest large destination for most coach and train trips is Florence.
By Car
Driving in Italy is not for the faint-of-heart and Prato is no exception especially in the old center of the city where the city walls, narrow streets, and ubiquitous pedestrian zones make navigating and parking particularly difficult.
