Parco Minerario
Museum
👍👍 Great experience. You have the option between a train and a jeep. Train is more suitable for young kids and still good for the older ones. They bring you around the mines and give you a lot of interesting information. The audio on the train is not great, a bit covered by the noise of the train, but...

Spiaggia del Porticciolo
Tourist attraction
😐 Small free beach on the Via dell'Amore, to get there you have to take a path that is not suitable for everyone, an uncrowded beach, quiet with a calm sea, mostly covered with dry seaweed brought by the sea.
Sea full of algae if the weather was bad the days before because the wind mostly blows toward...

Nisportino Beach
Tourist attraction
👍 Felt like s pretty non touristy, rather secluded beach which was a very pleasant surprise. The nearby restaurant or beach bar is pretty expensive but offers plenty of options which make up for it. It's a rock beach and the dried algae mixed with the stones tend to get stuck on anything but it's not...

Parco Minelba
Park
👍👍 Noi abbiamo preso la jeep con aldo e ci siamo divertiti davvero tanto. Bei panorami associati ad un po' di storia elbana immersi in una splendida natura mediterranea. Assolutamente da fare coi vostri bimbi e nettamente meglio del trenino che invece è un po' noiosetto...

Spiaggia di Frugoso
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Pleasant, quiet and characteristic beach with pebbles. It is narrow and long, it is never particularly full, in the central part it is equipped with a kiosk offering sunbeds and umbrellas for €10 for the whole day. There are services, toilet and shower, and a kiosk where you can eat a few dozen mete...

Orto dei Semplici Elbano
Botanical garden
👍👍 Un posto incantevole per scoprire la ricchezza della biodiversità di un'isola unica. Assolutamente da visitare. In più, l'eremo di Santa Caterina,cadiacente l'orto, è un gioellino.

Eremo di Santa Caterina
Chapel
👍👍 You can get there well, well signposted with a car park that isn't huge but it can fit 5 cars, a 10 minute walk among the trees you get to the Hermitage, a suggestive place that emanates ancient from all points, with its botanical garden next to it and just a place not to be missed if you are nearby...

Museo Nazionale delle Residenze Napoleoniche - Palazzina dei Mulini
National museum
😐 Very interesting place to visit, but I think Napoleon would be ashamed of the staff who decided to work only 4 hours daily, even during spring and summer season. Open till 1 pm, really? You're a bunch of jerks. People usually need at least few hours to get to the ferry in Piombino, get to Elba, then...
