A great trip with wonderful views. Although into its 115th year the controls are modern with [I think] the original cars used. You can stand on the platforms at the front or rear and get great photo opportunities.

This is a great attraction at the top of Montecatini. Take a coat as the wind is cool in May- June! $7 euros return takes you on the round trip and the views are spectacular! You can walk from the centre of Montecatini to the station. You have a variety of restaurants all with a delicious array of local food,... More

Nothing to dislike, it ran on time, reasonable price, did what it said on the tin, took you to Alto, bought you back down again.

The city served as a good base for day trips to Florence, Pisa, et al. The hotel's penthouse restaurant was about perfect in all respects. The area was safe and a pleasant location to stroll in the area.

The train itself is charming, perfectly restored, with a lot of attention to details. The unusual feature for this kind of trains is the open platform in front of the train. The train allows you to see a great panorama of Montecatini Terme. Maybe the best thing to do in Montecatini if travelling with children. The minor but important detail:... More

An interesting journey. From the top there are excellent views. The train runs every 30 minutes. Well worth 7 euros return.
