Attractions

Beautiful nature, a wealth of beaches, panoramic drives along the coast and through pretty inland country, and the general holiday atmosphere are what make Elba worth visiting. For history buffs, however, there are two (mostly underwhelming) Napoleonic residences you can visit as well as a handful of medieval fortresses and Roman ruins. Elba is also a geology geek's dream come true: The island has a long history of mining for metals and semiprecious gems and quarrying for stone, and every town has at least one Museo Minerario that shows off this mineral heritage.
