Elba’s largest city, Portoferraio has an unusual history that’s not always apparent to newcomers. On this tour, explore the city with an art historian guide, visiting historic sights associated with Cosimo de' Medici and Napoleon, who was exiled to the island in the early 19th century. Stop at two of the three forts founded by de’ Medici, a church that Napoleon transformed into a theater, and Napoleon’s residence-in-exile.
