The Offices of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park

The Park Houses are visitor centers located in the main towns of the Island of Elba and the other Tuscan islands, often at historically significant sites, with the aim of offering tourists and residents a welcome point and a reference for environmental education activities.

The educational and exhibition content of the displays, which also use digital tools, allows visitors to learn about the flora, fauna, and environment of the Park, as well as the history and culture of the Tuscan islands. Inside, visitors can purchase illustrative materials and documentation.

The Park Houses are open to the public for free from April to November, with seasonal hours. They are managed in collaboration between the Park Authority and the municipalities.

The structures in Marciana and Rio nell'Elba were inaugurated in the year 2000, while the one in Pianosa is more recently inaugurated (2013). Since 2017, the park, in collaboration with the Municipality of Portoferraio, has managed activities and exhibitions at Forte Inglese. On June 6, 2018, the Environmental Education Center Dune di Lacona was also inaugurated.

On the island of Montecristo, as part of the LIFE Projects, the structure called Casa dei Pescatori has been restored. Managed by the Forest Carabinieri, it serves as a visitor center and information point.

In recent years, the Environmental Education Center "La Salata" on Capraia and the Info Park on the Island of Giglio have also been established.

The park has also set up a dedicated welcome office that coordinates all activities: Info Park, located in front of the ferry docks at Portoferraio's harbor, open year-round.
