Grosseto can be considered a hidden gem in Tuscany as it’s overlooked by many tourists.
While there aren’t many main tourist attractions here, this city is certainly worth a visit. In fact, travellers who are more interested in authentic, Italian experiences may like Grosseto more than the touristy destinations.
While it may not be a tourist destination, there’s still plenty to do while visiting. Start off at the Palazzo Aldobrandeschi, the home of a once noble family in Tuscany. It’s a neo-gothic building that is more than a thousand years old but was rebuilt in the 20th century. Then head over to the Archeologica di Roselle, the Etruscan ruins that are older than those of Pompeii. It’s 100 acres and was once home to more than 1,000 residents. There are walking trails around the area that allow you to spend some time outdoors while learning about ancient history.
Don’t leave without seeing the Grosseto Cathedral, which was built between the 12th and 14th centuries, as well as the ancient Medicean Walls. If you have some time, stop into the Maremma Museum of Archeology and Art, and take a few moments to relax and people-watch in Piazza Dante. No matter what you decide to do in Grosseto, you can be sure you’ll be treated to beauty and culture along the way.
Grosseto can be easily reached by train, especially from the major airports in Tuscany. If you fly into Pisa, Florence, or Rome, expect various railway options that will take you to Grosseto, usually with a train switch in between.
