When to visit

The best time to visit Collodi is during the spring and fall months when the weather is mild and the gardens are in full bloom. Summer can be quite hot and crowded with tourists, while winter can be cold and rainy. The Garzoni Garden is especially beautiful in the spring when the flowers are in bloom. It is recommended to check the weather forecast before planning your trip.

Getting around

Collodi is a small village that can easily be explored on foot. The main attractions, such as the Pinocchio Park and Garzoni Garden, are within walking distance of each other. There are also local buses that connect Collodi to nearby towns and cities, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Taxis are available for those who prefer not to walk.

Traveller tips

When visiting Collodi, be sure to wear comfortable shoes as the village has cobblestone streets that can be uneven. It is also a good idea to bring a camera to capture the beautiful gardens and historic buildings. Make sure to try the local cuisine, including dishes like ribollita (a Tuscan vegetable soup) and pappa al pomodoro (a tomato and bread soup). Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, and always greet people with a friendly 'buongiorno' or 'buonasera'. Remember to carry cash as some smaller shops and restaurants may not accept credit cards.
