The River Arno rises in the Casentino area of the Apennines mountain range and meanders southward for a while.

The Arno then flows west close to Arezzo before flowing through Florence, Empoli and Pisa before finally meeting the Tyrrhenian Sea at Marina di Pisa.
The Arno is by far the longest river in Tuscany, at a length of 241 kilometres with many tributaries adding to its volume along the way. If you visit Florence, you’ll see that the River Arno passes right through the city, right under the ancient Ponte Vecchio.
Many floods have damaged Florence over the years due to the Arno’s highly irregular flow rate.

Many floods have damaged Florence over the years due to the Arno’s highly irregular flow rate.
But as the years passed, sturdier structures were set in place along this mighty river to reduce its potentially damaging force after torrential rains.
Why not book a leisurely river trail along the Arno and admire the settlements of Florence, Empoli and Pisa from a whole new perspective.
They are especially beautiful when lit up at night! After the River Tiber, the River Arno is the most important in central Italy and is a must see natural attraction on your next holiday to Tuscany!
