About
A 174-km spiritual walk across Tuscany. From Florence’s Renaissance heart to Livorno’s coastal charm, the Cammino di San Jacopo unfolds in six stages, each a blend of history and landscape.
The scent of sun-warmed olive groves lingers as you traverse ancient paths. In Pistoia, the relic of San Giacomo il Maggiore awaits, a testament to centuries past.
Vineyards and rolling hills offer a serene backdrop, while the well-marked trails ensure that even beginners can find their way. This is more than a route; it’s a journey through time and self.
