Rent a Prato
One of the lesser-known cities in the region, Prato has a lively commercial fabric driven mainly by the textile and craft sectors, which thrive in the city’s outer ring, bordering the provinces of Pistoia and Florence from which it is a very short distance. In its beautiful historic center of medieval layout, all made up of alleyways and Romanesque architecture, there are countless boutiques, bars, pubs and restaurants, as well as stores of the major international shopping chains, crowded at all hours of the day. The impression one gets from a visit to Prato of a single day or even a handful of hours is that of a lively city with a layered multiculturalism and a nightlife worthy of far better-known capitals. Among the most beautiful destinations in the historic center is certainly the Emperor’s Castle, built between the 11th and 16th centuries at the original behest of Frederick II of Swabia: it can be visited year-round and is a perfect vantage point for those seeking a bird’s-eye view of the city; during the summer, however, the place becomes the setting for en plein air film screenings. From around the same period dates Prato’s city walls, most of which still exist; among its 6 gates, the Mercatale gives access to the square of the same name, where many dining and nightlife activities are located and which is a favorite gathering place for easy parking opportunities. In addition to the historic buildings, located especially around Piazza del Duomo and Piazza del Comune, Prato is also home to many important centers of culture, such as the Teatro Metastasio, Tuscany’s permanent theater; the Teatro Politeama, which hosts mainly contemporary performances; the Luigi Pecci Museum of Contemporary Art; and the Museum of Deportation, the latter located outside the city walls, along the road leading to Vaiano.
On the Prato side of the Tuscan-Emilian hills there are many places worthy of naturalistic tourist excursions, easy to reach for those who decide to rent a car in Prato.
