- Marble Caves of Carrara - Embark on a luxurious journey in a Mercedes minivan to the Carrara Quarries. As you travel along the winding road that snakes up the mountain, you will cross the renowned Bridges of Vara, alongside the impressive tunnels carved into the rock, which were once part of the “former Marble Railway.” The tour will take you deep into the heart of the marble basins to explore a closed quarry.
