Rent to Grosseto
Would you like to visit Grosseto over the weekend but still don’t have a clear idea of what to do and see here? If you have never visited this quiet town in the heart of Maremma, the wide coastal area of central-western Italy, there are many activities that you can condense into one or two days of time: Grossetto is indeed a small town, but one that can offer unique views and numerous opportunities regarding culture and entertainment. One of the views that will immediately strike you will be that of its ancient walls, which have come intact to the present day: going up from Porta Corsica, you can walk all of them from rampart to rampart walking along its tree-lined avenues and enjoy the view of the center from above. At this point you can start your exploration from below: among the places to see in Grosseto there is definitely Piazza Dante, enclosed between arcades and beautiful buildings such as the 20th-century one that is the seat of the Province. At its center, you can admire the famous Canapone monument that represents Grand Duke Leopold II as he crushes the head of a snake symbolizing malaria. Near Piazza Dante also stands the Duomo di Grosseto, a medieval-era building distinguished by its layering of red and white marble and the large rose window on its facade. If you’re passionate about art and history, however, you’ll also find bread for your teeth among the city’s many museums: the same building houses, for example, the Maremma Museum of Archaeology and Art, with its focus on artifacts from the Etruscan period, and the Museum of Sacred Art of the Diocese of Grosseto; the Maremma Museum of Natural History is another point of interest for lovers of biology and provides numerous educational workshops, activities and events suitable for a trip to Grosseto with children. Beyond the cultural offerings, Grosseto is then an amiable and pleasant town in which to spend your time also because of the delicacies that, like more famous Tuscan cities, it allows you to taste: famous for its land with a high wine vocation, the Maremma area of Grosseto can also boast of numerous traditional country dishes with a genuine and intense flavor such as pappardelle with hare, tortelli with chard and ricotta cheese, numerous dishes based on game and acquacotta. Make the most of your time here to stock up on them!
By taking a rental car with Locauto in Grosseto, you can organize all your trips to and from this city with great flexibility and combine a visit to the capital with a more in-depth exploration of its surroundings. A very well-known destination in the province of Grosseto is definitely the Tarot Garden in Capalbio, an artistic park that collects 22 monumental installations inspired by the figures of the tarot: a truly magical place, also suitable for families, where you can spend a different day. For your relaxation you can then choose the thermal baths of Saturnia, another popular destination in the province: in fact, it is one of the largest thermal parks in Europe. On the other hand, if your passion is historical villages, you can stop in Pitigliano, also known as the “little Jerusalem” because of the numerous testimonies of the ancient Jewish community that lived here for centuries; a village perched on top of a tuff cliff, unmissable also for the breathtaking views it offers of the valley below. Of course, if you come here during the summer season you will also want to take advantage of your rental car in Grosseto to visit the most renowned beaches in the area: one of the most popular destinations is the Argentario, a promontory surrounded by a beautiful sea from which emerges the island of Giglio, a suitable destination for mini-cruises, walks and excursions. But the place that best combines sea and mountains is the Maremma Natural Park (or Uccellina Natural Park), a natural area of more than 10000 hectares. Renting a car in Grosseto is the ideal way to manage in total autonomy your vacation in Maremma alone, as a couple or with family and friends: in fact, it allows you to choose the vehicle that best suits the type of trip you want to take and, above all, to move always and only at your own pace, indulging in sudden inspirations, unplanned detours and, why not, even the mood of the day.
