Ponte del Mare, also known as the Bridge of the Sea, is a remarkable cable-stayed bridge that opened in 2009, spanning 466 meters across the Pescara River. Designed by architect Walter Pichler, it holds the title of Italy's largest cycle-pedestrian bridge.

It’s nice to come back to the hometown and appreciate the slowly growing and improving as an Italian burocrazie are specialists. This is one of the most beautiful places to visit. Very suggestive.

Must visit! By far the most spectacular views over the 16km length of beach Pescara has to offer! I didn’t manage to catch the sunset, however, still amazed with the beauty of the bridge! Next time I’ll go earlier and get the best of both views!
Gabriela I — Google review
I recommend to visit this iconic spot before the sunset. It’s a wonderful place for a walk, to take photos, or simply enjoy the scenery. It is the largest bicycle-pedestrian bridge in Italy and one of the largest in Europe. The architecture is modern and impressive. The views from the top are truly beautiful. You can see both the sea and the city.

Rocca Calascio

Mentioned on 
+49 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Rocca Calascio is a thousand-year-old ruined stone fortress offering breathtaking mountain views. The region of Abruzzo is perfect for leisurely exploration on foot, with picturesque villages like Roccacalascio, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, and others providing a glimpse into the area's rich history. Despite the fantastic hiking opportunities in Abruzzo, obtaining information within the region can be challenging due to closed tourism offices and unclear maps.
Breathtaking experience. 10/10 recommend if you are in Abruzzo! Moderate walk up the mountain. There are a few shops along the way up selling homemade jewelry and T-shirts. The view is incredible once you’re at the top.
Gelsina C — Google review
Beautiful walk up, although it can be quite a strenuous hike, there is an easy path once you're close, but it's a long long way up (1300m+) Altitude. Once you get to the castle though it's fantastic, beautiful views over surrounding villages and mountains, the castle itself is free to enter and has a viewing point at the top. I really recommend you drive up and park at some of the small designated parking areas, about a 2k hike from there once parked.
Chris — Google review
A must visit if in the area. Extremely cool castle you can go inside. Also a nice church. Park at the very end of the road and it’s. 15 minute hike up to the castle
Dante S — Google review
Rocco Calascio is such a special place. The views are breathtaking and the walk to the site is fun but not too challenging. We went around sunset on a late spring eve and it was amazing. This moment will stay with me forever.
Elin M — Google review
A day trip to Rocca Calascio followed by Campo Imperatore is easily manageable and absolutely worthwhile. I recommend heading up early on a weekday to avoid crowds, especially when visiting the castle. The main challenge is parking—spaces near the top are limited, and the narrow road can quickly become congested with two-way traffic. There is parking in the lower village, but be prepared for a steep uphill hike if you start from there. From the upper parking area, the walk to the castle is relatively gentle with a couple of easy paths, though the final stretch is rocky. The panoramic views from the top are stunning, and several hiking trails extend out into the surrounding hills. Entry to the castle is free, though donations are appreciated. Just below the castle, in the upper village, you’ll find a couple of small bars, cafés, and shops, along with a public toilet (50 cents, honesty box). Overall, it’s a fantastic outing—beautiful, atmospheric, and highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) Being one with the seafront of San Benedetto del Tronto, surrounded by varieties of palm trees makes it unique in comparison to other locations on the Adriatic Coast. Some fountains and green islands with a cycle path and a wide sidewalk make it a pleasant space for tourists to walk. (Original) Un tutt'uno con il Lungomare di San Benedetto del Tronto, contornato da varietà di palme lo rende unico in confronto ad altre Località della Costa Adriatica.

Guests can enjoy a generous breakfast at the nearby Boccascena pastry shop.
Perfect place to stay and very friendly host.

The room is in a busy street with constant noise and poor insulation. I was frequently awaken by loud people passing by and there was a garbage truck that seemed to be collecting trash from late hours until early morning, right in front of the building. The included breakfast is actually a voucher for one drink and one pastry piece in a nearby bistro.

(Translated by Google) The B&B Piazza Del Popolo in Ascoli Piceno stands out for its strategic position, a few steps from the beautiful Piazza del Popolo.

Recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere of Ascoli. (Original) Il B&B Piazza Del Popolo di Ascoli Piceno si distingue per la sua posizione strategica, a pochi passi dalla bellissima Piazza del Popolo.

(Translated by Google) The B&B is located in the center a few steps from the square and services in general. The lady who welcomed us was very kind and helpful and provided us with valuable information. The room is nice but I would recommend some more attention to the accuracy of the finishing and a little more to the cleanliness of the room. I would also like to point out that my room was adjacent to another and communicating with a door (locked of course) but with simple noises or chatter, there was no privacy (especially at night or in the silence of the early morning). Breakfast included which is consumed at a partner bar. I can't give information on this because I didn't use the breakfast voucher. (Original) Il beb si trova al centro a pochi passi dalla piazza e servizi in generale. La signora che ci ha accolto molto gentile e disponibile che ci ha fornito informazioni preziose . La camera carina ma consiglierei qualche attenzione in più nell’accuratezza delle rifiniture e qualcosina in più nella pulizia della stanza . Vorrei anche segnalare che la mia stanza era adiacente con un’altra e comunicante con una porta ( naturalmente chiusa a chiave ) ma con semplici rumori o chiacchiere, non si aveva la privacy ( sopratutto nelle ore notturne o nel silenzio della mattina presto) . La colazione inclusa che si consuma presso un bar convenzionato . Non posso dare informazioni in merito perché non ho utilizzato il buono colazione .

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Loreto, the Sanctuary of the Holy House of Loreto, or Basilica della Santa Casa, stands as a beacon for pilgrims and visitors alike. This revered site is steeped in tradition, believed to be the very home where the Virgin Mary lived and was raised. According to legend, angels transported this sacred house from Palestine to Italy on December 10th, 1294.
Beautiful basilica perched high on a hill. The importance is profound as it is the home of the birthplace of Mary, brought here by the crusaders. The reverence with which visitors enter the chambers is amazing. What a wonderful place to visit, and quite serendipitous on our part as it was an unplanned stop. Definitely worth seeing.
Gary G — Google review
Ever wonder what happened to the house of the Virgin Mary Mother of Jesus? The house without the foundation was believed to have been brought by the angels in Loreto Italy in the middle of the road. The foundation of the house is in Israel though. The house is now housed inside a beautiful church in Loreto, Italy. We drove there from. Rome and took us about 3 and a half hours. See the church at night or might as well attend a mass at night and during the day. The place is beautiful and quiet. Parking during our visit was challenging. Make sure you have Euros in cash/coins to pay for parking. When we were there, it won't take credit and one miraculous moment, someone gave us coins to pay for parking! An angel sent by Jesus or Mama Mary! Praise God! You cannot take pictures i side Mother Mary's house. But once inside, you can see even some of Jesus scribbles on the wall 😀
Anne C — Google review
Visiting the Madonna’s House in Loreto was a deeply moving and spiritual experience. This sacred place, known as the Holy House, is believed to be where the Virgin Mary lived and received the Angel Gabriel’s announcement. The story of how this humble home was miraculously transported from Nazareth to Loreto in the 13th century adds a sense of wonder and faith to the site. Inside the beautiful basilica that protects it, I felt a profound peace and connection to centuries of devotion.

Deeply religious experience. The crusaders moved Mary's house (the part that was built outside of the grotto) to Loreto, Italy. It's amazing.
Kenneth B — Google review
Beautiful square with the 1614 fountain and the basilica which houses what is believed to be the house of Saint Mary, mother of Jesus, in Nazareth. Masses are held several times a day; a good time for a tourist visit might be between 12:30 and 5:00 PM. Parking lots outside the walls are charged from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm € 1.40/hour € 10 all day, a short distance away there are also large parking lots both free and charged. Toilets € 0.50 at the small gardens behind the square. If you limit yourself to this and to walking along the main street with the businesses, the visit can take an hour and a half. There is also more to see and the visit can take up the whole day. The Museo Pontificio Della Santa Casa € 8 and the patrol walkways € 5 these only with guided tour ( 5 per day the first at 10) their cumulative ticket € 10. "Porta della Marina" from 1534, near has the panoramic terrace, the small park of remembrance, the“holy staircase” of 400 steps and the Polish war cemetery. Free admission for the permanent mechanical nativity scene 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2:30-7:30 p.m. and the small air force museum from July to September daily 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m., an airplane of the “Frecce Tricolori,” is exhibited outside the “round tower” . The Roman Gate of 1590, near the civic tower of the 17th, and of course you can also walk all the way around the defensive walls. According to tradition, in 1291, angels transported three walls of Our Lady's house from the cave in Nazareth, to which it was connected by the fourth wall, to the town of Rijeka in Croatia. They then moved it to the vicinity of Ancona. After 9 months, another transfer took place, this time to Porto Recanati on the property of a noblewoman named “Loreta”. After her name, the statue on display in the house was called “Madonna di Loreta” or “Vergine Lauretana”, but it burned down in a fire in 1921 and the statue on display today is a copy from 1922. Again the angels, after 8 months, moved the house to another private property, but in 1294 they lifted it into the air again, finally depositing it on the top of a hill, and the shrine and city of Loreto was founded around it. According to another, more historical version, it was the Crusaders, nearing defeat in the Last Crusade, who dismantled the house. The transport to Italy from Palestine was carried out by the "Angeli" family, a real Italian surname, and over the years this gave rise to a misunderstanding that confused them with heavenly angels. Having become a pilgrimage destination in 1468, work began on the construction of the basilica. In the 16th century Donato Bramante created the fine marble facing that covers the outer walls of the “Holy House". The city's mighty city walls were built between 1518 and 1522 to resist possible attacks by the Turks who landed on the coasts plundering the villages, an earlier wall from 1315 defended pilgrims and their donations from bandits. The basilica''s exterior was completed in 1587 while work on the interior decorations ended a few years later.

Tourist information center

Caverns & Caves
The Grotte di Frasassi, discovered in 1971 and opened to the public in 1974, stands as Europe's largest underground cave system. Visitors are treated to breathtaking calcareous formations such as the Infinite Hall, Obelisk, and Emerald Lake. A guided tour led by knowledgeable guides like Michele enhances the experience with fascinating insights into the caves' history and geology.
Amazing experience. My tour guide, Michele, was very knowledgeable and painted a vivid picture of the discovery of the caves. His English is great and learning about the formations was really interesting. It was a magical experience and this has been my favorite experience in Italy, maybe even my life. These caves should be one of the natural wonders in the world. Also, the surrounding town is beautiful, you can take a nice stroll alongside the river. Try the dishes with truffles in them! Also, vincisgrassi (the regional version of lasagne) is delicious. The locals are so friendly, but some of them don’t speak English so it’s a great opportunity to practice your Italian! My heart is still in the mountains there. P.S. if you try to get to the Valadier Temple (Tempio del Valadier) the google map location for it is not accurate for the start of the trailhead. You will have to go about double the distance from the caves than what it says (the location of the cave on the side of the mountain). It will be on the right side of the road and about 800 meters from the caves. It is walkable, but a rather long walk on the side of the road to get to the starting point. But, it is worth it!

Even though it was quite busy, the visit was well organised. What we did not like is when we bought the tickets, it was advertised that you could follow an audio tour using the app instead of the guided tour. We liked this option as we were with young children a d their attention span for a guided tour is limited, especially in a language they don't speak. When we got up to the entrance of the caves; they said this was not possible and we had to wait an hour (!) for the English guided tour. The guide took a tremendous amount of time to explain each crack and sediment difference so we decided to walk on and tagged along to two Italian guided groups before we were 'caught' and told to stay with the guide. Our round took 1,5 hours; I did not dare to ask how long the normal tour would have taken. The cave itself is nice, well lit and the path is fenced and very accessible even for young children. There is only one route to follow so it's not possible to get lost.

The caves themselves are amazing! The company running them are running a slick operation and probably making a decent profit and in some cases have put profit before customers and this is why I've only given 3 stars... The buses that take you to the caves from the car park are mainly standing space with very few seats, they packed them full and it's a hot and windy road. The most annoying part however is that photos are forbidden, even with no flash. The only reason for this is so they can sell tickets to the photo tour where you're allowed to take photos. There's no pricing for the photo tour online however so I can only assume it's extortionate.

Castello di Gradara

Mentioned on 
+9 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Castello di Gradara is a hilltop medieval castle featuring brickwork turrets, battlements, and a museum of history. The castle is steeped in a tragic story akin to that of Romeo and Juliet, inspiring renowned writers like Byron and Dante. The area surrounding the castle offers diverse landscapes ranging from mountainous terrain to art-filled cities such as Urbino and Ascoli Piceno, as well as the beautiful beaches of Conero Riviera.
This place is well worth a visit if you are in the area. You can wander around in the walled town for free. The castle itself is 10 euros and a walk along a bit of the castle wall for 2 euros. Both are worth doing. National Trust would charge 20 quid for the castle in the UK. The bit of wall was short but the views are stunning. It's a big tourist draw so bars and restaurants are a bit more expensive than the norm in the area but some nice places to eat or have an ice cream. We went late may. I would guess it will be crowded in peak season.
Chris W — Google review
I visited on a rainy day during the off-season, during the week. It was packed with school classes, which is great! Just beware, if that bothers you. There are multiple parking lots and plenty of space. The old town around the Rocca hosts multiple souvenir stores and plenty of restaurants. The Rocca itself is said to be the place of Dante's divine comedy and is popular for Lucrezia Borgia. It's rather small but interesting. I rated it 3 stars because it's small and not a lot to see compared to other places. You can bring small dogs in a carrier or a bag pack.

Beautiful castle and beautiful old town on the way ro castle Gradara. However, I didn't appreciate that I should buy the audio guide extra additionally to the regular entry fee on some barely working app so I did the exploring myself. Another issues are that you are barely allowed to see just a tiny portion of the castle (rest is prohibited) and a good chunk of the shown art and furnitures is from the 1920s (previous owner) and not the originals from the 14th/15th hundreds. Enough of my complaints, it is still worth a visit! ;-)

Beautiful castle, be sure to visit (€10,- p/adult, kids till 18 are free entry) in combination with the guardwall (€4,-p/adult, €2,- p/child) in combination is best buy (€12,- p/adult)! It is wise to put on some comfy shoes. The inside of the castle is impressive amd the views are amazing.

The tower isn't opened to public which kinda sucks because the view would be perfect. Loved it anyway. The passage around the wall is worth the price.

Long time wanted to visit Urbino and finally managed today. Despite heavy rainfall I felt in love with this unique and immensely charming place. Palazzo Ducale and National Museum of Marche are stunning. I wrote some comments and complains of bareness in most of rooms. But masterpieces on display are more than enough to compensate. Highly recommended.

The Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is enveloped in an atmosphere of mysticism and grandeur, as if it had emerged from the pages of a centuries-old legend. Its grandiose walls welcome guests with exquisite beauty, as if inviting them to explore the secrets of the past. Once inside, you are immersed in majestic halls adorned with exquisite works of art, each whispering its unique story. The majestic halls and incomparable gardens create a unique atmosphere, as if immersing you in a fairy tale world. A visit to the Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is not just an excursion, it is an encounter with grandeur and beauty that will leave unforgettable impressions for a lifetime.

Drove from Ravenna through hills and beautiful road. Structure located over the hills with having a good overview on the area around. Paid parking is provided in the front and back, which back is bigger and more organized. Facility presenting an art belonged to Renaissance. It is big museum with many paintings, curved stones, carpets, statues and dishes in different stories. Not only a palace, but also a protected city on the hills with narrow alleys with so many steps. At least consider 2 to 4 hours to see the palace and the city. If you rely on English communication, Good luck!

It features an impressive collection of marine and land animals housed in 100 tanks and enclosures.

The facility is clean and easy to explore, with plenty of interactive areas for kids. Highly recommend for a fun and educational day out!
Ivana ( — Google review
Overall it was a good experience. However, we were (due to numerous reviews) expecting a bit more animals/things to see. E.g. we visited the yellow path in 5 min, definitely something that could be merged into another path or perhaps extended. Parking cost us 5 euros and I am afraid we even landed in the wrong one (on the hotel side). Not sure if the other parking (larger) had the same price. Advice to buy tickets in advance cause they are cheaper and you avoid waiting time jn the cashiers
Mat C — Google review
Good program if it's raining. The aquarium wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't that good. The sooner you buy tickets online, the cheaper. Definitely buy tickets online, because then you don't have to wait 30+ minutes in the queue. The shark are the main attraction and you'll understand why, they're massive and scary 😂 ideal trip for families as there are also dinosaurs, otters etc.

We had a wonderful day but it was very very hot and it was difficult to find shady spots to picnic if you weren’t actually eating at the restaurant or bar as all of the picnic benches in the shade got snatched up immediately! More shaded areas would really make a difference for this otherwise great attraction, especially in the dinosaur world! I would go again, but not in summer!

Italia in Miniatura

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Theme park
Museums
Italia in Miniatura is a theme park that showcases small-scale models of famous Italian buildings, including the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Portiuncula Chapel. Additionally, there are models of European structures and rides for visitors to enjoy. The park offers an intricate and accurate depiction of Italy's architecture and provides a unique perspective on the country's history. A visit to Italia in Miniatura is highly recommended for those who appreciate miniature things and have an interest in Italian culture.
The miniatures itselves are good for Italians or people who know Italy a lot. However, all the attractions around are splendid for children - they are all included in entrance fee and thanks to their high frequency of operation there were only short queues. I highly recommend with children up to 10-12 years.

Tbh I wasn't expecting much and it was a spur of the moment thing to fill an afternoon. Once through the doors it's actually a pretty cool place. There is so much detail everywhere. I found so many locations that I would love to visit on our next italian trip and it's laid out in a representation of the country. There was so much more to see that I realised at first. Some places were not open but that was the only blotch on an enjoyable visit.

A must-do experience. There’s something for everyone here, much more than we expected before we went. Quite a magical place, considering how much effort must go into each piece of art to display one area of Italy. You learn a lot on your way around as well, with the quiz. There’s moving parts around every corner, especially the train system is constantly in motion, very impressive. The Venice experience was nicer than actual Venice, as we didn’t have to fight any crowds! Overall exceptional in terms of value for money and experience. Highly recommend it.

In addition you have some attractions like log rides, monorail train rides, mini parrot zoo, ride in gondola through Venice in miniature and carousels for small children in Pinokio themed park . We visited in the morning and there was no long wait anywhere. Later it's getting busier. There are refreshments available on the site and souvenir shops. Buss no 8 goes straight from Rimini to Italy in miniature. Highly recommend.

Fortress of San Leo

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
The Fortress of San Leo, also known as Rocca di San Leo, is a striking hilltop castle and former prison that has been transformed into a museum showcasing an array of weapons and instruments of torture. Situated in the municipality of San Leo in the province of Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, this fortress is perched atop a rocky peak overlooking the town of Leontine and commanding breathtaking views over Valmarecchia.
A small old town at the bottom of a fortress, which invites to exploration. Great view around most of the town. A short hike to the fortress itself is rewarding as the fortress is also big and has many floors, information and weapons from different eras on display. I recommend going there👍 On top of the fortress theres a stunning view around the area🙂
Eike M — Google review
A decade ago, I visited the Fortress of San Leo, and I was really impressed by how well-maintained the construction still was. One of the most striking parts of the visit was the torture room, where people accused of heresy, like Cagliostro, were imprisoned by Pope Pius IV. The tools used for torture were on display, which gave a chilling but fascinating glimpse into the past. The region itself is full of culture and offers stunning landscapes, plus the food in Emilia Romagna is incredible—definitely a highlight of the trip!
Fernando T — Google review
Tricky to rate this. We went mid may. Clouds had rolled in so not much of a view. Went to the tourist info area which seemed to be closed even though someone was inside. We decided to walk up to the castle. The pedestrian walkway was very crumbly and slippy. Not good. Again the ticket shop was lit up and sort of open but no one inside. There was an automatic ticket machine. We pressed the English translation button. All it did was change the top word to "Entance" but the rest stayed in English! Worked out as a 10 euro entry. But no one to tell what there was and no views due to low cloud decided not to go in. Walked back down the road rather than go down the dodgy steps. The town itself was nice with an interesting church. We were unlucky with weather but the service could have been better.
Chris W — Google review
Impressive structure and great views. However inside is less impressive, mostly empty rooms (which is understandable given it’s previous role as a prison). Majority of information in Italian only. If you are a fan of torture tools, you will see plenty inside.
Błażej — Google review
We followed the steep, zig zag path up the hillside through the forest to arrive in front of the castle. The castle looks like a state of the art 16th century creation and the location must have made it almost impregnable to assault, with sheer cliffs on almost every side and just one narrow road leading up to it. Entry was 10€ and we spent a couple of hours there as there was so much to see. The views were the most obvious and spectacular thing - all the way to the Adriatic Sea and possibly San Marino, with every hilltop on the Appenines seems to have a castle on it. There is a well marked route through the castle with the fortified tunnels and fireports followed by the original prison cells and exhibits of torture and the inquisition. The inner structure had barracks, armouries, cells for Papal prisoners and a museum about the life of the enigmatic Cagliostro. He was the most famous prisoner of the fortress, a confidence trickster who travelled throughout Europe and mixed with the rich and famous, involved in alchemy, freemasonry and healing and regarded as a heretic by the church. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment in the fortress. He had a small cell with no door, he was lowered in from the room above, where his guard stayed and watched him through a grille and spyhole. I'm sure the view lost its appeal after a while and he died after 4 years in his cell. The armouries had a mixture of medieval, WW1 and WW2 weapons, quite a comprehensive collection! We sat and had an ice cream from the museum shop before doing a final circuit of the walls and then carefully making our way down the path.
Marcus H — Google review
Very nice and quiet place. You can buy the tickets directly from the touch machine at the entrance. We didn't manage to go inside as we had the dog and nobody was in the office area to ask if it was possible to enter with the dog. It was less busy then we expected but the view is nice from outside as well.

Lovely place for a day trip - especially if you like walking, castles, history, and great views! You could spend many hours inside the castle looking at all the artifacts and watching the films they have about the castle. If you spend time walking around everything then it's well worth the €9 entry fee.

Mirabilandia

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Temporarily Closed
Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Mirabilandia is Italy's largest amusement park, located in Ravenna. It offers a perfect solution for families with kids and teenagers to have an exciting day out. The park features a variety of thrilling roller coasters, including the popular 'Katun,' as well as water and family rides. Additionally, visitors can enjoy attractions like laser gun games and live shows.
I visited Mirabilandia in Emilia-Romagna with friends/family and had a fantastic time overall. The park is huge, well-organized, and offers a wide range of attractions for all ages — from adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to family-friendly shows and water rides. 👍 What I liked: • Katun and iSpeed are must-rides if you love thrill coasters — fast, smooth, and exciting! • The water park (Mirabeach) is a great bonus, especially during hot summer days. • Cleanliness: The park is generally clean and well-maintained. • Variety: There’s a good mix of rides, shows, and food options. • Parking is spacious and easy to navigate. 👎 What could be better: • Waiting times: Lines can get quite long during peak hours — a Fast Pass is recommended. • Food prices are high and the quality is average. • Some areas could use a refresh or renovation. • Limited shade in some zones, so bring sunscreen and a hat. 📝 Tip: Try to arrive early and head straight to the most popular rides first (Katun, iSpeed, Divertical). Also, booking tickets online in advance can save you time and money.

A beautiful amusement park with everything you could want and more. For all ages. Water attractions, such as adventure rivers, water jumps, and water slides. High-speed slides of various types and difficulty levels. Simulations, entertainment, and all kinds of shows. Of course, all kinds of food. If you have tickets to both parks, entry is faster at Mirabeach. But the reception is only at the main entrance.

I had such an amazing day here! Despite not being the biggest amusement park ou there, it is certainly a good one! The staff is super welcoming, the food offered is delicious, and most importantly, the costumer service is amazing! However, the queues are usually gigantic, so I do recommend getting the flash pass, otherwise the experience might not be as enjoyable! Additionally, if you have any disabilities or special needs, the park also offers a flash pass for people with special needs!
Artur P — Google review
We loved our visit to Mirabilandia! The park is very clean and beautifully maintained. The attractions are well chosen for adrenaline seekers - iSpeed, Katun and especially Divertical, which is both a water ride and a thrill ride (you will definitely end up wet on that one!). This park is a great complement to Gardaland - each has its own style. Mirabilandia feels slightly less tailored to non-Italian-speaking visitors, but everything was still easy to understand and enjoy. Other water rides were also fantastic. Although we visited as two adults, we noticed plenty of areas and attractions for younger visitors too. Overall, a wonderful experience!

Amazing fun park with lots of things to do! I especially love the rollercoasters, they have few of them on a world class level. The end of the day was in a style - with Hot Wheels acro show, and also water jetpacks audio-visual show to close the night at 10pm.

Was a really nice and refreshing vacation,but make sure to buy your tickets online in advance and buy the flash pass regular from the website all for 50€, because if you dont there is minimum wait time of 30-50 min a ride, and it you decide to buy it there only the flash pass costs 50€ and the ticket there also costs 50€ to enter which is personally think is unfair, would love it more if they didnt cut the closing time by 6 hours since schools started, Its understandable that the workers have kids and everything but to cut it from 12pm to 6pm is something else, otherwise most of the staff were friendly except a few, but it was a nice experience for a theme park.

Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there. When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason. We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you. We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place. Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica of San Vitale is a renowned octagonal domed church famous for its intricate and vibrant Byzantine mosaics. The mosaics feature tesserae cut in regular and irregular sizes, creating a stunning visual effect. The transition from naturalistic representations to mosaics with golden backgrounds reflects the ideological and stylistic changes of the time.
The basilica was one of the reasons we traveled to Ravenna and the church is breathtakingly beautiful!!! It's a different kind of art that has been applied here. The mosaic stones were used perfectly and we couldn't stop being amazed. Everyone should have seen this church... words cannot describe it! We were impressed and would visit the church every time!
Mert C — Google review
Absolutely beautiful. There was a wait wait for buying the tickets so definitely recommend buying the online. There was also a gift shop with all kinds of stuff from mosaic kits to socks, the prices were kinda high though. As for the inside, it was absolutely beautiful and it was pretty clear that it was an ancient basilica build by the Byzantinians. A part of it was also destroyed but now it has been rebuilt. There's lots of mosaics in the basilica so it's definitely worth it checking out. The ticket also give you access to another famous attractions (it can be 2 or 4 depending on what you want)

Basilica of San Vitale absolutely wowed me! The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by shimmering mosaics that feel alive, gold, emerald, and sapphire scenes glowing from every angle. The portraits of Justinian and Theodora are breathtaking up close, and the octagonal layout gives the whole space a serene, almost otherworldly vibe. If you love art, history, or just beautiful places, this is an unforgettable stop in Ravenna. Five sparkling stars from me!
Devi N — Google review
San Vitale resolves structure and image into one coherent drama. The octagon holds a wide ambulatory with a second, raised gallery above it, so the building reads in concentric rings. Overhead a lightweight tube-built dome still claims eight sturdy columns, an honest frame for what follows. Marble revetment is book-matched and cool; above it the apse blooms with gold: Abraham’s hospitality opposite the sacrifices of Abel and Melchizedek, then Christ on a blue globe offering the crown to Saint Vitale while Bishop Ecclesius presents the church. Along the flanks, the imperial processions of Justinian and Theodora advance with quiet ceremony. The light is low, but it serves the purpose: tesserae catch and release a warm, shifting glow, so the theology seems to move as you do.

An extremely beautiful and historic Basilica right in the heart of Ravenna. The mosaics are extremely beautiful and impressive, shows you the level of detail and craftsmanship that was put into this stunning work. Built nearly 1700 years ago, the building has not shown many signs of decay and is worth the ticket price to enter. It seems smaller from the outside, but the inside is incredibly large. Will visit again!

Unfortantely there is an ongoing reconstruction indoor, but this is an unskippable attracion of Ravenna. This was my favourite site of all, and I highly recommend. It is part of the 3- and 5- attraction ticket, which is affordable. Let the pictures speak…

Forlì - Museo San Domenico

Art museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Musei di San Domenico is a museum complex located in Forli, Italy, set within a medieval convent. The complex includes the deconsecrated church of San Giacomo Apostolo and two cloisters. After a period of neglect, extensive restoration efforts have transformed the space into a hub for art and culture. The Forli Civic Art Gallery is housed within the complex, showcasing an impressive collection of works by renowned artists such as Antonio Canova and Livio Agresti.
One of the most important Italian museum and the best experience I’ve ever had. Because of when I visited, I was fortunate enough to have the museum all to myself - which was surreal. Their permanent collection is beautiful, and the stories behind some of their pieces are extraordinary. Staff are all incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and not only great professionals, but amazing humans. I got to hear the origin story of the building, among many others which contributed to what it is today. The building although very old, is incredibly well kept, and the interior is a tasteful modern, which still does well to emphasise the authentic architectural identity of the museum. The place is squeaky clean all around, and overall just very calm and pleasant to be in. As always, there is a discount for students. After such a wonderful experience, I’m definitely looking forward to coming back in spring for their yearly special exhibition - which will host over three hundred paintings from the greatest artists of all time!

The Pre-Raphaelite exhibit was so very, very good! As an older person I wish that I had been able to visit the exhibit twice - too much for one visit. Also the informational signs should be bigger - hard to see and many people at one time trying to read them created a bit of a crowd. BUT SO WORTH SEEING!

Nice set of rooms right near the city centre of Ferrara. The rooms are tidy and the is a lot of space. The bathroom is sort clean and comfortable. The kitchen has to be shared with another room and then it needs to be cleaned. The prices are really good for the quality it offers. The WiFi is free and there is usually someone to speak to if you need something.

We ordered the room trough Booking and got totally different room - smaller ofcourse. With terrace that is locked with two locks. So you pay for a spacious room and get a tiny room in the attic. When we wanted to sort things out with the owner he/she? (They dont answer the phone, comunicate only via whatsapp text messages) told us that booking is mixing pictures which is not true. Anyways the owners manners were absolutely horrific, he in fact told us to leave him alone.. There are many better acomodations in Ferrara, please support them. People running this place are the worst.

They charged for consumption of snacks that did not occur, and I never gave them my card information directly, meaning they got it from either Booking or Nexi. They provided the wrong WiFi information, but with a good amount of insults as I confronted them.

I'am very disapointed with this acomodation. I feel cheated and disgusted. We booked this acomodation via booking and unfortunatelly did not checked the reviews on google. The acomodation is something absolutely different than what we saw on booking pictures. Also there should be tereace which is locked, dirty and behind the grids. The acomodation is totally not matching the photos and hosts actions and communications is behind any boundaries of good manners. I definitely do not recommend it.

Although I found this on a day use hotel website they claim they're not. After calling and trying to reach them to get a better proper answer they just hang up the phone or don't answer it. I came to Ferrara to have a rest here on purpose and now have no where to go. The minimum is to answer the phone or door! Been standing outside ringing the bell and nothing. Dear team be careful where you put your business! Thank you , hope that help and now I'm just going to take a nap in the street , thanks to amazing professionalism.

One of the worst hotels I've ever been to. They have the central A/C system and they set it to 25°. Do you call that A/C? Had to complain several times to set it to 21°. The bed was really bad. It makes a very disturbing noise every time you move. After changing the towels, they provided just one big towel for two people. Extremely disappointed.

Estense Castle

Mentioned on 
37 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Estense Castle, also known as the Castle of San Michele, is a grand 14th-century moated castle in Ferrara, Italy. Originally built for political and military purposes, it later became the residence of the Este family. The castle boasts four impressive towers and holds over six centuries of history within its walls. Visitors can explore lavish private chambers, a chapel, prison, and a museum showcasing precious artworks.
Of all the attractions in Ferrara, the Estense Castle is the most iconic. We visited on a Thursday morning and there were very few other visitors. Our ticket was part of the MyFE card, which is definitely worth purchasing for a few days ( if nothing else it reduces the tourist tax. We paid just over €25 euros for a 6 day pass. The castle is most impressive from the exterior., however unlike some castles I have visited in Italy it has a good degree of information and exhibits as you go round. Dont expect to wizz round, it seemed like a labyrinth, and we were there for about 2 hours. The Lions Tower is about 112 steps, not too bad compared to many towers Ive climbed. Obviously there not as tall, you still had a good view over the old town. When we visited (June 2025) The visit finished qith an exhibition of photography by Art Kane. Hands up, I had never heard if the guy, but if you are person of a certain age (like myself) you could help but recognise many of his iconic images. The icing on the cake were the Andy Worhols. The exhibition runs until September and is definitely an added bonus. You can visit the courtyard for free and there were at least 3 entrances across the moat. The tourist office is also located in the courtyard. Ferrara is a definitely not a tourist town as such and can therefore be enjoyed without too much hussle and bussle. On the other hand it is most certainly a working town and unlike many of the more famous historic centres is a mixture of old and new, and lacks a bit of charm as a result. The towns historical sites are a little far apart, walkable, but given it was 35 degrees plus the week we stayed seemed a little too far on occasions. Overall we really enjoyed the castle and would highly recommend it.

Outlet Barberino, located just north of Florence, is a designer outlet store that resembles a Tuscan village. It features a variety of top brands such as Adidas, Levis, Dolce & Gabbana, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger. While the discounts may not be as steep as in other outlets, it offers a convenient and enjoyable stopover for fashion enthusiasts on long road trips. The outlet also provides diverse food options and seating areas to relax in the shade.
Pleasantly surprised to visit this place during our stints to watch the car races in the Mugello circuit. Went just to pass time but ended up filling the bags with super discounted items. The Spada Roma had wonderful discounts in cappotto and jackets. Lucky that I visited during this time of the year! Will surely get back since it’s just 3 hours drive from Milan

We have been here hoping to find some gems. Although there are a lot of shops, there were few clothes, at least for women. Or the collections at this moment in time were awful…I am not sure. And the discounts, in some shops it did not feel like outlet prices. Anyway, not worth the 50 min trip.

It’s an okay outlet — nothing special. On the plus side, there’s a huge parking area with over ten charging spots for electric cars, which is really convenient. But despite the number of stores, the selection is underwhelming, and prices are exactly the same as in downtown Bologna. Honestly, there’s no real reason to come here just for shopping. You’ll find the same brands and deals in the city, with a much better atmosphere. Not worth a dedicated trip.

The piazza leads to the Seven Churches complex and is surrounded by historic palaces.

Two Towers

Observation Decks & Towers
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Two Towers, also known as Due Torri, are iconic landmarks in Bologna, Italy. These medieval leaning towers were built in the 12th and 13th centuries by noble families and have become symbols of the city. The taller of the two, Torre degli Asinelli (Asinelli Tower), stands at 97 meters with 498 steps offering panoramic views of Bologna.
The two towers in the heart of Bologna highlights the importance of preserving history. One of the towers is leaning, probably more than the one in Pisa (I saw that in a YouTube Video), and visibly one can see the leaning in comparison with the other tower. Currently, restoration work is going on and so they are not open to public. However, you can see and click photos from the road.

Beautifully restored towers in central bologna - monumental of Bologna’s history. The towers served as status symbols, and the city once had 80 to 180 towers as people competed to outdo one another in status.

Impressive historical landmarks in the heart of Bologna. The taller tower, Asinelli, offers a breathtaking panoramic view if you're up for the 498-step climb. The smaller, Garisenda, leans dramatically and adds to the charm. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.
Tomas J — Google review
Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.

We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

Wow, what a wonderfully unique and electic castle. Fabulous design and wonderful trompe l'oeil. Definitely a dream brought to life. You have to join a tour - you cannot just wandering through the castle at your own pace, because it's a bit of a maze.

Authentic castle from the period of 19th century. 🏰 Rocchetta Mattei is like something out of a fantasy novel—an eclectic, whimsical castle nestled in the Apennine Mountains of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It’s not just a feast for the eyes, but a place steeped in eccentric history and curious science. 🌟 Highlights of the Castle - Architectural Mash-Up: The castle blends styles from Medieval, Gothic, Moorish, and Art Nouveau traditions. Think turrets, mosaics, and labyrinthine staircases that make every corner feel like a new discovery. - Count Cesare Mattei: The mastermind behind the castle, Mattei was a self-taught physician and inventor of electrohomeopathy, a controversial medical practice. He laid the first stone in 1850 and lived there like a medieval noble, complete with a court jester. - Famous Visitors: The castle attracted royalty and intellectuals from across Europe, including Ludwig III of Bavaria and Alexander II of Russia. Even Dostoevsky mentioned Mattei in The Brothers Karamazov. 🛠️ Restoration & Rebirth - After WWII, the castle fell into disrepair. It was later revived thanks to local efforts and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bologna, reopening to the public in 2015. - Today, it’s managed by the Comune di Grizzana Morandi and hosts guided tours, concerts, weddings, and cultural events. 📍 Visiting Tips - Booking is mandatory due to the castle’s maze-like layout and guided tour format. - It’s about a 45-minute drive from Bologna, making it a perfect day trip. - Nearby gems include the village of La Scola, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta by Alvar Aalto, and the Giorgio Morandi Home Museum. If you ever get the chance to visit, it’s not just a castle—it’s a storybook come to life.

The Modena Cathedral, or Duomo di Modena, is an awe-inspiring masterpiece and a must-visit landmark in the heart of the city. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a testament to Romanesque architecture and the rich history of Modena. Built on the burial site of Saint Geminianus, the city’s patron saint since 331 AD, the cathedral is not just an architectural wonder but also a deeply spiritual place. The crypt, where Saint Geminianus is interred, adds a layer of solemnity and historical significance, making the visit feel profound and meaningful.

If you are into car, then this is absolutely a MUST SEE place to go. There are actually 2 museums in Modena, and we went to the smaller one first, but this much larger museum is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and it was WAY more than I or my wife was expecting. I had no idea that it was as big as it is, and can't recommend it enough. There are even interactive displays that you can pay extra for if you want to do them. Definitely go, if you're in the area. It's worth every penny...

We visited the Ferrari Museum in Maranello as a family, and although it’s not the first place you’d imagine bringing a baby, it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We decided to leave the stroller in the car and use our Ergobaby carrier instead, and that was the perfect choice — it gave us full freedom to move around without worrying about stairs or elevators, and our daughter was cozy, calm, and close to us the whole time. The museum itself is spotless, modern, and beautifully designed. From the very first hall, with rows of gleaming red cars under dramatic lighting, we felt immersed in the Ferrari legend. Our little one, still so small, was captivated by the reflections and the bright colors — her eyes kept darting from car to car, and several visitors stopped to smile at her reactions. Those small moments made us feel really welcome, and staff members were also warm and attentive without ever being intrusive. The exhibitions cover both Ferrari’s road cars and its Formula 1 history. On the practical side, the museum worked well with a baby. The restrooms were very clean, though not perfectly equipped for diaper changes, but we managed without trouble. The only real downside for us was the price: tickets are 27€ per adult. For a museum that takes about one to two hours to visit, it feels expensive, and I think a family ticket or a slightly lower entry fee would make the experience more accessible. That’s the only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five, because otherwise it was a truly memorable and surprisingly baby-friendly outing. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Ferrari Museum in Maranello even with a little one. Using a baby carrier made it very easy, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it gave us a special family memory in a place you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be child-friendly. For us, it was worth it — an unforgettable mix of Ferrari’s world and our own new chapter as parents.

Very modern and stylish museum for Ferrari cars. A unique collection of road, prototype and racing cars from the early years up until now. Rather small compared to Porsche and Mercedes museums in Stuttgart, but that was the only “negative” and hence 4 of 5 stars. Nevertheless, for anyone with petrol in the blood, this is a truly great visit and experience!

A good place for Ferrari or car enthusiasts. Is a bit of a trek from Modena, but they have a bus leaving from the station once daily in the morning. Use the link on the museum ticketing page to book a seat. Tickets sold on the bus but pre oiled seats will get preference. The museum itself is well laid out and has lots of cars on display. From the early models to F1 cars. Kids over 150cm can get on the stimulators for a 7 minute test ride. The stimulators are pretty good. Gift shop is expensive but has a few scale models around the 30 Euro mark. You can't buy just one, has to be bought with another item. Magnets, key chains etc are 20 euro so better off buying 2 models instead. An hourly public bus runs at 18 minutes on the hour from a nearby bus stand, takes 45 minutes to Modena. Better to take this than stay till 2:45 when the museum bus leaves. Walking to the bus stand we saw some options for a ride in a Ferrari car outside. Was a rainy day so did not explore around, but doesn't look like there is much else in the surrounding area

The Ferrari Museum in Maranello remains one of the essential stops for any automotive enthusiast — and for Ferrari fans, it’s practically sacred ground. The F1 display alone is worth the visit: an incredible lineup of race cars that showcases the evolution of Ferrari’s championship heritage in a breathtaking way. The collection of special cars is equally impressive, with the highlight for me being the ultra-rare 288 GTO Evoluzione — an unbelievable treat to see in person. However, one negative moment stood out during this visit. A woman managing the foot traffic at the entrance made us wait outside for no clear reason, and her attitude came across as unnecessarily rude. It genuinely took away from an otherwise fantastic experience for several of us. It’s a shame, because everything else inside the museum was excellent. On a brighter note, the gift shop is fantastic, packed with high-quality merchandise that any Ferrari fanatic would love. I’ve been to the museum multiple times, and despite the small hiccup, I’ll continue to return. It’s a must-visit when in Maranello — a place where Ferrari’s history, passion, and spirit truly come alive.

I changed my route on the way back to the Netherlands just to visit the Ferrari Museum. As a designer, I expected something inspiring and memorable, but that moment never came. Arriving in Maranello is actually the best part, with a great view of the factory. At the museum the experience drops immediately. The outside looks messy and the paid parking system is poorly organised. The payment machine is on the opposite side of the building, so you walk back and forth before you can even enter. Inside, the student discount is nice. Upstairs it starts promising with a few special cars, but then you are met with an overwhelming amount of text. The English explanations are entirely in italic, which becomes tiring to read. Text on the walls is printed extremely large and the information next to the cars is placed very low to the ground. It does not feel visitor friendly. The biggest disappointment is how static everything is. There is nothing interactive, no sound design, no immersive elements, no behind-the-scenes look at the design or engineering. For a brand built on emotion and innovation, the museum feels strangely flat. There are around fifteen cars and you are done in about twenty minutes. At the end you can pay twenty euros to sit in a Ferrari for a photo, which feels unnecessary. The shop looks nice at first but the prices are shocking. A cap for €65 and a basic T-shirt for €85, all made in China. For a brand known for Italian craftsmanship, this feels disappointing. I expected a world-class, inspiring museum from Ferrari. Instead it felt like a short and text heavy exhibition with very little magic. A missed opportunity.

Well, it speaks for itself, the museum of the greatest car maker in the world. A must see probably for everyone, not just car lovers. If you go on weekends don't rush to be too early there, there were far less people waiting to go in as we left. The parking lot directly at the museum is pretty small and gets occupied quickly, so use the other one, it's also free and only one street north from the museum. For exiting you need the bar code of your ticket, so if you did not buy it online, don't throw it away. One can take photos in an F8 Tributo at the end of the tour even if one did not book it, it is of course charged. You can drive in an F1 Simulator, I recommend you book your desired time slot for that one.

A wonderful collection and curation of Ferrari. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the write up behind each vehicle. Parking was available on site with overflow parking across the road. Free parking for ticket holders and you just scan your barcode to exit the overflow parking.

Ducale Palace

Mentioned on

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Ducale Palace, a magnificent Renaissance fortress and the former residence of the Gonzaga family, is an absolute highlight when exploring Mantua. This stunning palace boasts an impressive collection of frescoes by renowned artists like Mantegna and Pisanello, alongside exquisite tapestries attributed to Raphael. As you wander through its numerous rooms filled with treasures, you'll be captivated by painted ceilings that seem to tell stories from another era. The palace also features enchanting secret gardens that add to its charm.
Amazing place and the ticket price (15€) is really decent compared to other more famous palaces and given the amount of space, art and history you see. We were simply astonished. You can easily spend 4-5h and if it's raining outside, you have no reason to hurry up. We loved it, it's a must if you're in Mantova.

This was perhaps the best Palazzo I ever visited. Of course, Mantegna's work (camera degli sposi) was fab, but the building, setting, views as a whole were remarkable. I can understand why 400 years of Gonzagas lived here.
Laurie P — Google review
Palazzo Ducale is a breathtaking testament to Renaissance opulence—a vast labyrinthine complex of over 500 rooms, evolved from the 13th to the 17th century by luminaries like Giulio Romano, Antonio Maria Viani, and Giuseppe Piermarini . The crown jewel is undoubtedly the Camera degli Sposi, Andrea Mantegna’s illusionistic masterpiece that transports you into the heart of the Gonzaga dynasty . You’ll also discover the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, rich with mythological frescoes and regal reflections , along with sumptuous tapestries and Rubens’s “Adoration of the Holy Trinity” .

Four hours of magnificance! This palace is now one of my favourites. Starting with the bridal room and Mantegna's masterpiece - leading through corridors, rooms, passages, balustrades and gardens with some of the most stunning works ever made. As for the gardens and collection rooms - Having visited the Met's Cloisters, brought back memories - Ducale's Palace must have been an important benchmark and inspiration. A worthwhile visit. Bring time and a pair of comfy shoes or sandels. I walked the full stretches of Venice's palazzos, but Ducale is where I needed to rest my feet after the visit.

Didn’t expect much, but ended up really enjoying this muzeum. The castle itsef is amazing, very nice and well preserved frescoes. A lot of different items on display, everything from sea shells, crocodiles, greek and roman sculptures, to weapons. Nice place for kids :)

Dizzying array of intricately decorated rooms and artistic artifacts. You’ll never be able to absorb it all.

I would say that it is the main place you have to visit in northern Italy. The Palace is huge. Mind that you will need at least to 4-5 hours if you want to see most of it. It has a day off so either check in advance or take working hours from the info point near it.

Te Palace

Museums
Te Palace, also known as Palazzo Te, is a captivating example of Italian Mannerism. Constructed between 1524 and 1534 for Federico II Gonzaga, this palace was designed to be a luxurious retreat and entertainment venue. Giulio Romano, a pupil of Raphael, was entrusted with the project and created an architectural masterpiece filled with imaginative and extravagant decorations. The palace features whimsical interiors adorned with erotic frescoes and houses a museum showcasing art and history displays.
This palace by Giulio Romano is rightly world famous. It stands out as an original masterpiece in architecture and painting too. A must see in beautiful Mantova. Don’t miss the view arriving from north of Mantova and see renaissance town just lying d as young of 3 lakes. Just stunning
Gerhard B — Google review
Lots of neat artwork, but what you get to see for the €15 entry pales in comparison the the Ducal Palace complex including the San Giorgio castle (same entry fee) and museums. It was neat to check out, but if you only have time or funds for one, this is not the better choice considering offerings options and price. But it sure is worth stroll thru if you are here and interested. Different style of artwork than a lot we saw around there. Don't forget the grotto before you leave!

This is the palace built by the royal family of Mantua, as a palace of leisure, now a museum. It is richly decorated with frescoes, including those by Giulio Romano. My favorite room was The Hall of the Giants alhough others were also quite beautiful. There is a good audioguide in English and other languages.
Dmitry — Google review
Palazzo Te is a stunning example of Italian Mannerist architecture and a must-see for art and history lovers. Built in the 16th century by Giulio Romano for Federico II Gonzaga, it’s both elegant and eccentric. The highlight is the Sala dei Giganti, where dramatic frescoes engulf visitors in a collapsing world of myth. The palace’s playful illusions and masterful fresco work make it feel more like a theatrical experience than a museum. While it’s not massive, the artistry is unforgettable. A unique gem in Mantua that blends grandeur with creative flair.
Giulia B — Google review
A gorgeous piece of history that is still standing today. Seeing Palazzo Te transports you back in time, and feels as though you’re in a dream. We visited the wonderful November 2023 exhibition, and the place was in pristine condition. The infamous Sala dei Giganti e Sala dei Cavalli are not to be missed! Staff are extremely kind, and like all other museums in Italy, they offer discounts for students, elderly people and children.

Great garden. The palace is not very big but has interesting rooms to see. Most of them were too provocative for mine taste of art but all of them were made with grace and detailed. The sun and the moon was my favourite . It was very shocking for me that every place in Montova has different working hours in every day of the week. So if you are planning to visit definitely take the working hours map from the info point.

Very impressive palace with water and a garden. Our tour guide Simone was a lovely and hilarious addition to the experience. The palace's rooms offer a very diverse selection of decorations, some of the frescoes make you wonder what kind of orgies they were celebrating. If you're planning to open a queer club, go here for inspiration!

Ecological park
Nature & Parks
Parco Giardino Sigurtà is a stunning natural masterpiece that captivates visitors with its serene beauty. Nestled near the historic center of Valeggio sul Mincio, this expansive park spans over 60 hectares and is recognized as one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy and Europe. It features lush green lawns, vibrant flower gardens, and ancient trees that create an enchanting atmosphere.
We visited the park in April, right when the tulips were in bloom. The grounds are large, impeccably kept, and almost surreal. There are several distinct areas—including a farm, a hedge maze, and even a small castle—so you can easily spend a few hours wandering around. Bike rentals are available if you’d rather ride than walk. One tip: we found that tickets purchased through general travel sites were actually cheaper than on the park’s official website.

Parco Giardino Sigurtà is a breathtaking botanical paradise nestled near Lake Garda in Valeggio sul Mincio. A Garden Wonderland Spanning over 60 hectares, this meticulously maintained park offers a vibrant display of nature's beauty, making it one of Italy’s most stunning garden destinations. With highlights like the famous Avenue of Roses, stretching over a kilometer with 30,000 blooming roses, and the enchanting Tulipanomania, a springtime spectacle featuring over a million tulips in bloom. The Labyrinth, scenic water gardens, ancient trees, and serene lily-covered ponds add to the park’s magical charm. Whether you explore by foot, bicycle, or golf cart, Sigurtà invites calm and wonder at every turn. It’s perfect for families, photographers, or anyone seeking peace in a lush, floral setting. A visit here feels like stepping into a living painting — peaceful, colorful, picturesque, and unforgettable.

A beautiful botanical park not far from the southern part of Lake Garda. We visited in early June 2025. The park is lush with greenery, butterflies, and birds. It’s highly recommended to take the small train tour that runs through the park. The ride lasts about 35 minutes and circles the entire park, giving you a sense of its size and helping you decide which areas you'd like to explore on foot. Some of the highlights include a Japanese garden, a plant maze, an herb and butterfly garden, an educational farm, and more. We spent about three wonderful hours there — you could easily spend even more. Be sure to bring a bottle of water, as it can get quite hot during the day, even in June. Convenient parking is available about 250 meters north of the park entrance, in the supermarket parking lot.

Beautiful park and great family outing We went on a family trip to Parco Giardino Sigurtà and had a lovely day. We enjoyed a picnic in the gardens and drove around in a small golf cart, which the kids absolutely loved. The park is stunning and very well maintained – perfect for a relaxing day in nature. It is a bit on the expensive side though; we paid around 720 DKK for one golf cart for 2.5 hours. Highly recommended!
Rasmus M — Google review
Amazing botanical garden, an absolute must see if you are in the area. Good paths to walk on, however, since the park is so big, there's also an option to rent a bike or golfkart. We rented a gokfkart, which is very convenient with small children.

The park itself is beautiful, but €46 for 2 adults and 2 kids is way too much considering the experience. Many attractions were closed, the park felt empty, and there wasn't much to do. It's a nice place to walk around, but with so little open, it should cost no more than €5 per person.
