About Carrara
Carrara is a working marble town, not a postcard: white quarry terraces cut into the Apuan Alps above a city that has carved stone for centuries. The classic way in is a 4x4 or jeep run up the mountain roads, such as the Carrara Marble Quarries 4x4 Tour with Lardo di Colonnata Tasting, which pairs the quarry basins with a tasting of the local cured lard. If you would rather see the marble without driving, the Carrara Private Tour: Discover Tuscany's Marble Capital keeps things compact and personal.

Frequently asked questions
Quarry tours run year-round, but the Apuan Alps roads are busiest in summer, so book several days ahead for morning departures when light in the basins is clearest. Spring and early autumn give milder temperatures and better visibility.
