Prato is the second largest city in Tuscany and the heart of one of Europe's most important textile districts. That gives coach hire in Prato a distinctive profile: as much business travel — visiting buyers, delegations, staff shuttles, trips to trade fairs and airports — as leisure groups and wedding parties.
It is also a practical base: Prato is twenty minutes from Florence and well outside the worst of the city traffic, which makes it a sensible starting point for group tours of Tuscany. GiroMunna covers Prato and its province with 26-seat minibuses and 51-seat grand tourers.

What to see in Prato with a group
Prato is often written off as an industrial city, but the walled centre is worth half a day:
- Cathedral of Santo Stefano — with the outdoor pulpit by Donatello and Michelozzo and frescoes by Filippo Lippi
- Castello dell'Imperatore — the Swabian fortress built for Emperor Frederick II, the only one of its kind in northern-central Italy
- Textile Museum — the story of the district, housed in a former textile mill: excellent for study groups and technical visits
- Centro Pecci — one of Italy's leading contemporary art museums, recognisable by its golden ring
- Medici Villa of Poggio a Caiano — a few kilometres away, a UNESCO World Heritage site
🏭 For companies: if you are hosting buyers or clients in the district, we can keep the vehicle and driver at your disposal for the whole day — several factory visits, lunch, hotel, dinner — on a single day rate instead of a series of separate transfers.
