Things to do in Pistoia Italy
Pistoia is an incredible city packed full of cultural landmarks and historical sites of interest. Simply wandering the stunning medieval streets is sure to be enough to fill you with awe! We highly recommend paying a visit to the unmissable Cathedral of San Zeno and spending an hour (or two) enjoying a drink in the surrounding Piazza del Duomo. The Palazzo dei Vescovi is a wonderful place showcasing a museum where you can learn all about life in Pistoia in the middle ages, and home to famed works such as the Tempere Murali by Giovanni Boldini. If you want to entertain the little ones, enjoy a family walk in the alluring gardens of Villone Puccini.
Pistoia restaurants
When you stay somewhere as beautiful as Pistoia, you need to experience every aspect of the city as authentically as possible, and that includes at dinner-time. The center of the city is very walkable, so we highly recommend that instead of planning your meals out in advance, you find the perfect restaurant each evening the old-fashioned way; by wandering the cobbled streets and seeing what charming eatery catches your eye. Whether you want to hunker down in one of the plazas and watch the world go by as you enjoy delightful Italian fare, or go off-the beaten path to find something truly unique and unforgettable, you’re sure to create some incredible memories of food you will dream about long after you’ve returned home. If, however, you do want a little bit of inspiration before you get started, some of the best restaurants in Pistoia Italy include the highly rated Bistecca Toscana, La Capannina, and the elegant Nati Stanchi Enoteca.
