Thinking about visiting Grosseto for a weekend but still undecided as to what to do and see there? If you have never visited this laid-back town in the heart of the Maremma region, a wide coastal area in central-western Italy, there are many activities you may take into consideration to spend a couple of days here: Grosseto is indeed a small, yet bountiful place in terms of unique panoramas as well as culture and entertainment. One of the sights that are sure to strike you immediately is that of the ancient city walls, still intact today: from the Porta Corsica ancient city gate you can climb onto them and walk from one bastion to the other along its tree-lined walkway and enjoy the view of the city from up high.
Then you can start your exploration downtown: one of the places to visit in Grosseto old town is surely Piazza Dante, a square enclosed by porticos and gorgeous palaces such as the 20th century building that serves as the headquarters of the provincial offices. At its center, you can behold the famous monument to Canapone representing the Grand Duke Leopoldo II as he smashes the head of a snake that symbolizes malaria. Close to Piazza Dante is also the Cathedral of Grosseto, a Medieval building made notable by its layering of red and white marbles and the great rose window on its façade.
If you are passionate about art and history, the numerous museums downtown are sure to float your boat: one single building hosts two different museums – the Museum of Maremma Archeology and Art, focusing on Etruscan finds, and the Museum of Sacred Art of the Diocese of Grosseto; the Museum of Maremma Natural History is yet another benchmark for biology enthusiasts, offering many learning activities and events that are suitable for those traveling to Grosseto with children too.
Alongside with cultural reasons, another reason why Grosseto is such a pleasant place to spend your time is the tasty dishes it boasts, no fewer than any other Tuscan city: famous for its wine-yielding territory, the Maremma area around Grosseto can provide visitors with hearty, traditional dishes with an intense flavor such as pappardelle con la lepre, tortelli with chard and ricotta cheese, wild game and acquacotta, a vegetarian soup. Make the best out of your time here and taste as many of them as you can!
