About Carrara
Carrara is a city built on white stone, where marble has been quarried from the Apuan Alps since Roman times and the mountains themselves look like carved cathedrals. A half-day here is enough to ride up into the working quarries and taste the local lardo that miners have eaten for generations, as on the Carrara Marble Quarries 4x4 Tour with Lardo di Colonnata Tasting, or to go deeper with a guide on the Carrara Private Tour: Discover Tuscany's Marble Capital.

Frequently asked questions
Carrara's highlights sit close together, so a half-day is genuinely enough. The quarry roads climb straight from town into the Apuan Alps, and most tours run two to three hours, covering the marble basins, a working quarry viewpoint and a tasting of Colonnata lardo before lunch or after it.
