Virgin Voyages' guide to Marina di Carrara
With mountains of the purest marble towering over the city, any pic taken in Marina di Carrara comes with a marvelous backdrop.
Marina di Carrara
The marble, which has been mined in close by Carrara for centuries, has been used to create some of the most important architectural wonders like the Pantheon and Michelangelo’s David. Nestled between the rolling hills of Tuscany and the crescent-like coastline of Liguria, Marina di Carrara acts as a scenic springboard to Italy’s culturally rich regions.
Tuscany and Liguria capture Italian culture like no other region. To get a taste of Tuscany, sip your way through the Chianti region and visit vineyard after vineyard or get to know the culture in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Medieval towns like Lucca dot the Tuscan countryside and Pisa lies a stone’s throw away. On the northern coast of Liguria, encounter the Italian Riviera in luxurious cities like Portofino and picturesque villages like Cinque Terre.
The hills, the thrills and the chill
The Italian language originated from a Tuscan dialect.
Stray (far off) the course
In Liguria lies a vibrant collection of five fishing villages whose rocky cliffs overlook the turquoise blue waters of the coast. In Cinque Terre Two-Village Visit, you’ll wander through Vernazza and Riomaggiore, check out their charming palazzos, and get time to explore these beautiful villages.
