Prato is often overshadowed by nearby Florence, but stick it anywhere else in the world and it’d be a household-name destination like its neighbor. If you only have one day in this dynamic and industrial city, there’s almost too much to do!

Avant-garde contemporary spaces, iconic Tuscan products, Renaissance heritage and a lively night scene, especially in summer, all form part of Prato’s “fabric” (oh, and we’ll get to that, too - the city is world-renowned for textile production).
