Chronicles of Arezzo
Arezzo has a rich history dating back to the Etruscan civilization, with the city founded in 300 BC. The city's strategic location made it a prized possession for various rulers, including the Etruscans, Romans, and Medici family. The medieval centre still boasts cobblestone streets and ornate Gothic architecture, while the city's cultural identity is a unique blend of medieval and Renaissance influences. Arezzo is also famous for its beautiful cathedral and the iconic 'Pietà' by Michelangelo. Today, the city is a UNESCO Creative City for Crafts and Folk Art.

Top Attractions in Arezzo
💡 Arrive before 10am to get the best light on the frescoes without crowds. Check the ticket desk for combined passes if you also plan to visit the museum.
💡 The crypt (small fee) holds Romanesque capitals and a 12th-century crucifix. Visit just before noon to hear the organ practice. Not much signage, so rent an audioguide (€3) or rely on a guidebook.
💡 The amphitheatre itself is free to view from the street. For the full effect, enter the Archaeological Museum (€6) which gives you access to the seating area. Visit early morning when it's quiet.
💡 The fortress walls are mostly gone, but the grassy bastion is still a great viewpoint. Walk to the eastern corner for a clear shot of the cathedral and town. Bring water in summer—the hill is exposed and there’s no café on site. The park is popular with local families on weekends.
💡 Come late afternoon when the light warms the brick, and sit on the steps of the Loggia for a perfect view. The weekly Saturday market sets up here. Avoid parking on the cobbles—locals get fined.
