Just over thirty minutes by bus from Florence, Prato is perfect for a quiet getaway from the capital city and home to avant-garde art spaces, artisan shops, Renaissance heritage, and a vibrant summer entertainment scene. Some of the best attractions in Prato include the Pasticceria Nuovo Mondo, a historic pastry shop that serves the famous Pratese peach that is a pastry, not a fruit, that has a decadent custard filling. The Piazza Duomo, where the Cathedral of Santo Stefano is located, is another popular tourist spot where Pope Francis has orated from and also where ancient Frescoes and relics are housed. Prato Civic Museum, Castello dell’Imperatore, and the many restaurants and bakeries are also notable stops for a day in Prato.
