The art and history of the island of Elba are no less beautiful than its natural treasures, and can be used as an excuse for an off-season holiday to the island.
From the ancient Mediterranean civilisations to Napoleon, Elba has a history going back thousands of years, of which numerous very interesting testimonies remain. To break the summer laziness or do something different during the rare periods of uncertain weather, here is a brief list of possible destinations. The opening hours of museums and other places to visit are subject to seasonal variations. The personnel of the Tuscan Archipelago Tourism Authority (tel. +39.0565 914671) will be available to provide any information in this regard.
