Staying at the Hotel Columbia in the center of Montecatini Terme<\/a> means discovering a world of wellness, culture, tradition and hospitality. The spa town is one of the favorite destinations for wellness tourism , with spas that are among the most beautiful and renowned, a thermal park that has no equal and a rich and diversified wellness offer. <\/p>\n

But there are also other aspects that make this city truly unique, below you will find three things to do absolutely during your stay in Montecatini Terme.<\/p>\n

1) The aromas and flavors of the rural world<\/h3>\n

There is nothing better than a good dish to feel gratified and in perfect shape, Montecatini Terme from this point of view really offers the embarrassment of choice.<\/p>\n

Hams, cured meats and cheeses such as Cinta Senese, Finocchiona, Buristo, Pecorino Toscano or Caciotta Dolce are a must try, perhaps combined with an excellent wine. Among the typical products undoubtedly we cannot forget the Waffles of Montecatini, the nougat of Lamporecchio and the Brigidino. <\/p>\n

It will not be difficult for you to find local trattorias or shops where you can taste the best of the culinary culture of Montecatini , you will discover a world of flavors and fragrances from which emerges the close link of gastronomic tradition with the peasant world.<\/p>\n

The panoramic restaurant of the Columbia Hotel<\/a> will delight you with a menu full of local delicacies, for an extraordinary journey in the Tuscan flavors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2) An evening at the Teatro Verdi<\/h3>\n

The new Verdi Theater is definitely a must, every year it offers a rich live theater and music program .<\/p>\n

The theater can accommodate an audience of 1,500 people, established in recent years as the cultural landmark of the Renaissance city. A unique scenic location where you can spend happy evenings in company. <\/p>\n

3) The panorama of Montecatini from the funicular<\/h3>\n

An experience that you absolutely must experience during your stay in Montecatini is surely to travel the stretch that connects Montecatini Terme with Montecatini Alto on board the funicular.<\/p>\n

The funicular was built at the end of the 19th century, initially moved by a steam boiler until the advent of electricity.<\/p>\n

The carriages move on rails pulled by ropes along a 15-minute journey from which you can enjoy an incredible view of the city, the surrounding hills and valleys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
