Montecatini City of Sport
Montecatini is mostly renowned for its thermal waters capable of regenerating spirit and body, but now it is getting a reputation in the world of international sport as well.
For some years more and more sporting events have been held in the city, making it an exciting stage for fans of cycling, volleyball, basketball, and golf.
Indeed, who can appreciate spa treatments benefits more than athletes? And who can enjoy the beautiful streets that wind through the stunning hills of Pistoia countryside if you do not enjoy cycling at full speed?
The municipality has therefore decided to invest in this segment of tourism by sponsoring and supporting facilities, stadiums and local sports stadiums to make Montecatini the perfect destination for sports tourism.
That is why Montecatini got the award of European City of Sport 2017.
Moreover, in 2017 Montecatini will host the Maxibasketball Championship, one of the most important international basketball events.
The Hotel Panoramic in Montecatini Terme supported sports tourism for years and has become the preferred hotel for those wishing to spend a relaxing holiday at the golf course, embark on an adventure riding a mountain bike or professional teams looking for a good place to go on retreat.
