Today, we continue the world's slowest Italian road trip! 😂🇮🇹 Our adventure takes us to the Tuscan city of Pistoia, where we envision what life was like in the 500-year-old Fortress of Santa Barbara, grab a quick tasty breakfast, and explore the Duomo Piazza with the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Corte & the San Zeno Cathedral… Before Matteo completely malfunctions!

Happy new year you two - buon anno! Missed you. That train thing is a drag. It was nicer when you didn't have to worry about validating the digital tickets - that was the best part. It's a recent change, so maybe the train agents are doing a "grace period" but that's wishful thinking I guess.

We visited Pistoia back in 2008, it was our first Tuscan city, it was July so middle of summer, the main piazza was being closed for an evening music festival, the town was full of people, noisy, effervescent with activities, a total contrast with what you guys experienced.

The readon to validate the ticket is just that you can take every train that goes to the same place , so you need to validate the ticket in order to attest you took only one train , and no reusee the ticket.

At minute 19.02: that hole in the fortress wall was a Latrine for the wall guards, I believe. 🇮🇹😎

We own an apartment in Pistoia and love it. I can tell you it's certainly a quiet town. Many traders close through the middle of the day because they don't have the tourist traffic such as towns like Lucca or Pisa. On Wednesday's and Saturdays however, the town is packed as there is a flea market which is spread through the town's historic centre. In the evening, Piazza Della Sala is packed with locals and tourists dining out at the many restaurants in the alley ways. For any considering visiting, make sure that you hang around in the evening and experience the lively Piazza Della Sala. There are plenty of places to visit and things to do. Just make sure you do your research before visiting so you don't miss out.

Quick question. I noticed you use a drone sometimes. Do you need some sort of permission before flying. When I fly mine in the states, I need to obtain local FAA approval. We go to Luca a lot but never went to Pistoia. We will this time.

I visited Pistoia on a Monday and EVERYthing was closed. Apparently this is normal. It was a very pretty old city however.

Aww we're sorry to hear it 😢 Italian cities can be so different depending on the season / day of the week / time of day, sometimes you never know what you're going to get!
