Nice museum with several exhibits. Also has gorgeous views of lake como. There is also a restaurant to grab some lunch. It was not crowded when we visited also there was no line to buy tickets. Worthwhile visiting the villa.

An absolute architectural, botanical and historical marvel of the last 500 years. The grounds of the villa are absolutely gorgeous - fountains sculptures, and perfectly manicured floral heaven. The garden is truly remarkable with how much variety of plants there are and also the way it's been maintained. For the building itself, nothing short of extraordinary - the design and architecture is impressive. There is so much history and craftsmanship behind this place.

Inside and out Villa Carlotta was a joy to visit. We loved the art work inside the villa. Be sure o look up as many of the rooms are adorned with frescos and or reliefs. The grounds are a botanical wonder with species brought in from around the world.

Must see! Great place to visit, beatiful inside, many sculpture, paintings few rooms with furniture with very great conditions. Amaizing garden around, it takes 2-3 hours to visit and see all villa and garden. Beautyful view from balcony for Como lake.

Beautiful villa with stunning lake views and lush gardens. The inside has some impressive art and sculptures, but the real highlight is walking through the gardens, peaceful and scenic, a perfect spot to slow down and take in the beauty of Lake Como.

Lovely visit especially enjoyed the extensive gardens, agricultural history and interactive commentary in our language about basement life at the Villa. Reasonable €15 entrance (€13 for over 65s) Luggage lockers were helpful. Bistro service for 2 hot drinks was slow on the day(20/8/25) as they seemed short-staffed.

I have no words. Grand, classy, ​​green. Bamboo plants, very tropical. The great beauty of a sea of ​​over 150 species of plants. All this is combined with the view of Lake Como, which is open from almost every point of Villa Carlotta. Very good restaurant.

A beautiful estate with a fascinating walk to and from the site. Definitely touristy but absolutely worth the visit. Be aware: Google’s “mostly flat” description is misleading—you’ll need to tackle some uphill sections, so bring good shoes.

Very beautiful and pristine villa. Everything is very manicured and clean. It is about a 2km walk from the Leno ferry terminal. Definitely some gradients so wear comfortable shoes. This villa is home to famous scenes in Star Wars and also James Bond Casino Royale.

Such an incredible place to visit if you are going to Lago di Como, I would suggest buying the tickets in advance so you can skip the wait, bring comfortable shoes, I wouldn’t recommend heels or anything like that if you do want to enjoy the most hidden places here. Very clean, it takes about 2-3 hours so see and enjoy most of the villa! Is a must!

One word – magnificent. I recommend buying tickets in advance to avoid waiting. We arrived at 10 a.m. and waited about 20 minutes in line. The villa opens at 10:00 a.m. They allow only a limited number of visitors inside, which is great because it’s not overcrowded. The ticket costs €14.

Beautiful Villa... Looked stunning in Casino Royale! In person so much more!!! Tour is a must do to understand the last owner.. ended up buying the book about him. A must visit if in the area.

To reach it, you have to walk about 750-800 meters after parking your car, but believe me, it's worth it 👍I think if you came to visit Lake Como, you should definitely see this place, the entrance fee is 13€ per person, very well preserved, Italian architectural features and the magnificent Como atmosphere, wonderful 👍

Famous from Hollywood-movies this gorgeous villa and surrounding gardens are a must visit when visiting Lake Como. We took the guides tour inside the Villa which was very fascinating. It was very hot and crowded in gardens however, so would recommend to visit off-season and make sure to buy your tickets in advance.

Went in mid April when there was still snow covering the top of the mountains and it was great fun! Experience: Friendly staff, hassle free. We checked in, filled in some details, got kitted up just before you ‘fly’ and we were away. Double/joint flight: Slightly cheaper than two singles and good laugh for couples/friends or family. There’s a 180kg limit and they weigh you just before your first flight. One top one bottom flyer, you can’t swap as it’s different kit. I’d recommend the top being the slightly taller just so you get more visibility of the mountainside over the other person. You do two flights, one down slightly less fast, then get a minibus in a small group to your second flight and you end where you started! Whole thing takes about 30 minutes Travel: We drove up, there’s free but limited parking right by the office, it’s not far from Lake Como (it took us under 2hrs and we were in Lezzeno). (Picture is of the village/mountain valley the zip line is in)

Fell 60ft into the Bitto valley and passed away. But crews very nice, can't really say it's worth the money because I can't be with my family now. If you don't have anyone waiting for you, absolutely recommend 💖

It was an amazing adventure! Very secure and the staff speaks a decent English. We found a car park easily but there are not many parking spots available! Keep it in mind and arrive a bit early if needed

Such an amazing experience... The staff was very professional and friendly! It was quite cheap for what it was, so if you re in the lake como region, this is a must visit!

Absolutely fabulous. Thought it would be scary, but it's not. I couldn't stop laughing all the way down. And you get to come back to the start point from the other side of the valley. Bellisimo 😁😁😁

This was a lot of fun! It’s such a long zip-line, that during the flight you have plenty time to look around and you’ll feel like a bird flying between the mountains. The staff at this place is friendly, professional and most speak good English. I recommend you ask for safety glasses if you don’t wear your own (sun)glasses or have contact lenses, this to prevent your eyes from tearing up and maybe loosing your lenses ;) also makes it easier to look around you.

Two hours of waiting and being told that we could start in 20 minutes over and over so that we couldn't do anything else in the meantime. They could have easily called us beforehand, too because they knew they had a delay since the morning hours. No price reduction. A free foto was the least they could do. The flight was great though, but not that exciting. Do it for the view, not the kick.

Totally satisfying from beginning to end! We spent the afternoon at the spa, and were truly impressed by the breathtaking decoration, attention to detail, and the many different spaces to relax and enjoy. After doing a trekking route from Bergamo to San Pellegrino, this place felt like pure heaven — a well-deserved reward after a beautiful but intense hike. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to have more food and snack options, especially for those spending several hours inside. A beautiful and rejuvenating place, ideal for couples, solo travelers, or friends seeking deep relaxation. Highly recommended after any outdoor activity in the region!

A spa excellence around the world, with a great combination of facilities, location (one of the best examples of Italian liberty style IMO) and value for money on offer. It can get a bit busy, even on a Wednesday, but there's plenty of space for everyone, without ever feeling overcrowded or cramped. Only downside is the lack of any "ritual" or "experience" at determined time-slots like at Asmana or De-Montel, which could further enhance the relaxing journey

We came on Monday around 12:30, and lunch at 1:00 was included. Later, at 4:45 pm, we were also offered complimentary snacks and drinks in the buffet area — such a nice surprise! The whole experience was amazing: there are plenty of rooms to relax in, saunas, and a pool. They even gifted us a wonderful hand cream, and the whole place smells incredible and looks beautiful. We’ll definitely come back again! Five hours just flew by — if you think you might get bored, you definitely won’t. It’s easy to spend the entire day there.

Amazing experience, one of the best spa resort I have ever seen! Great atmosphere, amazing buildings, I felt like I was in a palace! Great variety of heated pools and different activities! The massage was unbelievable good! Very busy and popular but everything was perfect! My only advice would be to take your own flip flops because the ones they provide are not very comfortable.

Option chosen was the 17:30 to 22:00 closing cost €55 bought and paid for a treat from our daughter-in-law. This included an Italian cold meal / snack with a drink 🥃 healthy option nibbles. Then we spend time both in and outside. Sauna pools , jacuzzi, steam rooms , foot spas. When we were leaving we found hot rooms with fragrance and across the 🧊 ice room. Young and old all paraded around in their flip flops and robes. Both of us are in the older “lemmin” stage of life and enjoyed it as 2 old “foggi’s” Well worth the experience

I'm going to try keep this short as to not distract from the main points. 1. Too many people. Even on a Wednesday. I can't fathom the weekends. This seems to be a problem that has gotten worse in the last year. First visit was September 2024 and now October 2025. Dedicated time slots and raise the prices if you want but it's not worth the effort at this point. Normal people overpaying to pretend to be rich for a day. No value. 2. Public display of affection. There is a limit and I reached it today when a young couple was literally having intercourse next to us, I was about a meter away and left after a very awkward couple minutes of denial. Then when we passed by the window to the same small pool (next to the steam sauna) he was going down on her. I can't make this up. Took a shower walked back by, still going. Probably 5 minutes. Atleast 30 people must have seen this. Unacceptable. 3. Fashion show, Instagram/Tiktok make-out location. Maybe it's the proximity to Milan. I don't understand it. Wellness is not on the mind for any of the younger crowd. 4. Zero spa etiquette. The swimsuits in the sauna are already hard enough to wrap my mind around - compared to Austrian and German counterparts. Lack of decorum in places meant for relaxation is painful. You may need to honestly consider staff to keep people on track and following instructions. Then when you are changing or showering in the WOMEN'S locker room you get laughed at of you are naked. 5. Visit once for the views. Go elsewhere for relaxation. It's Disneyland at this point. Nothing says spa day like queuing up to sweat in a sauna where half bring in their shoes in and no towel. If you even have shoes left. Surely they will get stolen at some point during your stay if you don't bring your own. The Good: Architecture, old world charm in the historic Casino area with heaps of potential. If other problems were addressed, I think it could be a 5/5, someday.

Paradise on the Earth. I was blessed to receive a full day gift voucher from my friends for QC Terme SPA. I've chosen San Pellegrino and was absolutely blown away by its beauty and full experience. First of all—the location is one if a kind—magical. Its like a palace. Personnel is super polite and professional. The SPA experience itself is Reviving — flowing from "dry" areas such as salt sauna , cinema sauna, alps emmersive experience, aroma therapy etc to water based treatment with jacuzzis , labyrinth and just simple chill at internal or external areas. I came out of the spa — reborn— new body and new soul. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and definitely will be back! I also want to explore other QC Terme centers located in different places- curious - what experience will it be 🩷🫶🙏

Huge park, great for cycling waking etc. It's so big it has the monza F1 track, a farm, a golf course and loads and loads of space to spare.

Wonderful place for walking, with kids’ play areas scattered throughout the park. Loved it

Good park very Italian would recommend. Mamma Mia!

I love meandering through this park and watching the sunset by the fountain in front of Palazzo Reale. Lingering is a priority here! We stumbled on a Beer/Food Truck festival on the last visit ... which was fun! they had trucks reprenting almost every type of cuisine in the world.

Largest walled park in Europe! Beatifullll

Incredibly huge park. The racing circuit part is very big alone, but the rest is big as well. Suitable for sports activities of many kinds. They even have running tracks for several lengths. Prep for many kms walk or better, ride. There was a huge storm in July 23 that massacred the racing track surrounding. Over 10 000 trees fell down.

Big beautiful park of the royal palace. 🌳🪵🍃 We spent not one but two days walking around and feeding the squirrels. 🥜🐿️ There are so many. 😍 There is a lake, with plenty of fish 🐟 and ducks 🦆 The tower looks cool. You really have plenty of options how to enjoy this place. ☺️

Walking around during the roof terraces on a sunny day was terrific. The outside of the Cathedral is more interesting than the inside, but that is still very impressive. The museum was a lit more interesting than I thought it was going to be We bought timed tickets (the timing is for the roof) before going. When I bought them, I thought they were expensive. After the visit, they seem good value as visiting all areas took the whole day.

El Duomo in Milan was one of the most breathtaking landmarks I’ve ever seen. The moment you walk into the square, the cathedral’s incredible gothic architecture completely captures your attention—every detail, every spire, every carving is stunning up close. The inside is just as impressive, with soaring ceilings, beautiful stained glass, and an atmosphere that feels both grand and peaceful. But the rooftop was my favorite part. Walking along the terraces and seeing the city from above while standing among the intricate marble spires is an unforgettable experience. Everything is well-organized, and the staff were helpful throughout the visit. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just want a truly awe-inspiring moment, El Duomo is a must-see when in Milan.

Visited Duomo di Milano, and it was one of the most awe-inspiring sights of my entire trip. The gothic architecture is stunning from every angle — the spires, sculptures, and stained glass tell centuries of history and craftsmanship. Climbing up to the rooftop terrace offers breathtaking views across Milan, especially at sunset. Inside, the light filtering through the colored glass creates a quiet, sacred feeling. It’s not just a landmark — it’s a masterpiece of art, faith, and human effort. A must-visit for anyone coming to Milan.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely breathtaking! The Duomo is beyond beautiful — every detail is incredibly intricate and far more impressive than words can describe. If you plan to take the elevator to the rooftop for the view, I highly recommend booking tickets online in advance.

Lots of tourists arrive here every single day, and it’s easy to understand why. The architecture of this ancient cathedral is absolutely stunning every part of the exterior is covered with beautiful carvings and statues that reflect centuries of history and devotion. We also visited this place during our trip to Milan, and it was an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere around the cathedral is lively, with people taking photos, enjoying the view, and admiring the beauty of the structure from every angle. Inside, it feels peaceful and majestic at the same time. The stained glass windows are colorful and full of intricate details, and the tall pillars make you realize how grand this church really is. If you visit, I highly recommend going up to the rooftop. The view from the top is simply amazing you can see the whole city of Milan and appreciate the details of the spires up close. There might be a queue, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Overall, the Duomo di Milano is not just a church, but a masterpiece of art, history, and architecture. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Milan!

Breathtaking – Day and Night! I absolutely loved visiting the Duomo di Milano! It's one of the most stunning places I’ve ever seen. I was so impressed that I went back three days in a row – both during the day and at night – and each time it felt just as magical. The architecture is incredible, especially when it's lit up in the evening. Whether you're exploring inside, walking on the rooftop, or just enjoying the view from the square, this place is unforgettable. A must-see in Milan!

Genuinely one of the most stunning, astonishing places I've ever visited. Its genuinely so breathtaking, I'll never visit another place that makes you feel so amazed. I'd recommend getting tickets beforehand and remember to cover your shoulders and ladies, wear a long dress or they'll make you buy a bag to cover up.

Great place for younger children, height limits on some rides (105cm & 120cm) so worth keeping this in mind before you visit. Was a hot June day, plenty of wet areas to cool down but they are a bit manic so need to supervise young ones Bought our tickets in advance, and walked right in Food was responsibly priced, and the pizza I had was really good!

Nice place for younger children that want to experience rides. However, we were bit disappointed about Thomas the train been on service on that day so we couldn't experience it. We were waiting for it and after asking to one of the staff members we discovered that wasn't operating. Was a quite day so we didn't experience any queue. I don' t think is worth waiting 45min or more for a ride on peak season. Overall was a nice experience, my son had so much fun and had the possibility to experience different rides that he never tried before

Definitely interesting if you have kids and a spare day near Milan, though underwhelming if you’ve been to other parcs in Europe/US. It’s really geared to young kids, teenagers and up would quickly get bored. The parc itself is small but spacious, and clean. The only downside is the access roads; whover design the last couple of kms of entrance to the olace must have truly hated the parc (or people in general). Expect to waste about 30’ sitting in the car from the moment you see the entrance sign at a distance till you actually cross it

Great for little kids. Very crowded. Service is amazing. Paid parking (7 Euro). Very clean.

Unfortunately they have beit's becoming a place where the crowds exceed the livability just to pursuit profit. The ambience is actually well done and plenty of services. But you'll easily spend more time queuing (average 20 mins) instead of enjoying carousel.

We enjoyed so much me and my friends specialy on boat ride last photo

We loved it.. very nice place and good for toddlers.. the rides start for children from the length of 90cm and there are many for that age.. there is an aquario and rettilario which made it more interesting.. there is a mini Italia and it very nice too..

Our recent visit to Lago d’Iseo was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled amidst breathtakingly picturesque surroundings, this hidden gem offers a perfect blend of serene lakeside beauty and majestic mountain landscapes. The local restaurants were exceptional, serving delicious regional cuisine with charm and authenticity, truly a culinary delight at every turn. Yet, perhaps the most memorable aspect was the warmth and genuine friendliness of the local people, whose hospitality made our experience utterly delightful. Lago d’Iseo is undoubtedly a treasure; we look forward eagerly to our next visit!

Lago d‘Iseo is a gem. It is one of those underrated northern Italian lakes that still feels authentic and relaxed compared to Como or Garda.

Fantastic romantic location, with so much to do and see. Monte Iseo is a must do. A real taste of Northern Italy 🇮🇹 as the local residents insist on keeping Make sure you visit bar Rjba they will look after you and your family

Iseo Very beautiful lake. You can freely walk along the banks of the lake. There are many restaurants to get food and drink.

I made a small roundtrip around iseo even though it was raining but was worth it for me so calm to take a walk and take the fresh air out of this lake too bad i didn't saw and got the oppurtunity to take a big trip here, maybe next time. 🫡

very very nice place to spend time with family, friends you can also do sports like jogging , running , walking, cycling , Rowing you cay also take a boat to visit the mini island , any way you can do a lot of Activities with very nice view, also if you just want to sitting and enjoying the view you absolutely can do it and its nice place to do picnics with kids you just need to watch them and make sure they will not going into the water

Beautiful lago, one of the smaller but still as beautiful lakes. You can get a ferry across to mountisola where you can walk up the top, swim in the lago grab a lunch or just stroll around the island. It is beautiful a little busy at times but does bot distract from its stunning scenery. Parking was hard in a few places on the mainland as was quite busy when we went. Have to wear a ffp2 mask on the ferry which they sell with tickets.

Loved this castle. great place to spend a couple of hours wondering around the grounds of this ancient castle. The tower provided an amazing view of the city. I highly recommend stopping here and taking in a coffee in the piazza outside the castle. Parking was easy and the castle is located near many of the other historic sites.

Good for a short stop while travelling between Franciacorta and Lake Garda. The castle is beautifully lighted up in the evening and there is free parking at the base of the castle. Great spot to see the sunset and the castle’s drawbridge is very well preserved too.

Awesome Castle. The walk up is interesting, following the names of terrorism victims and the view from the top is amazing. No entrance fee either. Best thing we did in Brescia.

Interesting castle with fantastic views over the city and surrounding area. Well worth the walk up.

Lovely castle to visit for free with great views round the city. Lots of seating areas for sitting with lunch and free toilets. There are a couple of museums that we didnt have time to visit bur would have liked to. There is a ricket for 19 euris for adults that allows access to many of the main sights. Definitely worth the walk up the steps or the less steep path.

Great visit, and it was free when I visited. Amazing view over the city. It was not crowded, and there was available free parking. I enjoyed it.

Impressive castle with stunning views over Brescia. Walk from the city centre is pleasant (a bit steep in parts but manageable). Entrance to castle grounds is free and it’s very easy to enjoy 2+ hours exploring and appreciate the views!

Getting caught up on reviews/pics from out trip to Italy in May/June 2024. What an amazing castle! The owner/family still lives there, but has opened the castle for tours. The history of the castle goes back some 1500 years. It’s on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River, in the province of Piacenza, Italy. Many of the rooms in the castle are “as is”… as they have been for centuries. So much history there, from prisoners to royal guests from all over Europe. It really is a very cool place to visit, good for families as well!

Would be a great trip but if you are not Italian, the tour guides are extremely inhospitable and rude. They do not try to hide their xenophobia. In certain rooms they refuse to speak anything but Italian, and they will not make eye contact with anyone who does not. We were dismissed quickly and the visit was not worth the money. I agree with other reviews, the staff make this a must-miss and unpleasant experience.

This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.

gorgeous ancient castle. had a lovely visit, a historian took us to see some of the rooms although the family still lives there. I particularly appreciated the 17th century games and toys and the armours hall.

The location is timeless and absolutely gorgeous! The food was really really good with a great service! Absolutely delighted by the fabulous lunch that we had!

Magnificent stronghold. Well maintained and with a simply great static display of uniforms and weapons. Competent guide illustrated all castle secrets

Nice place to visit. Unfortunately the castle was closed when we arrived here but we had a very good lunch in this area.

We visited the magnificent Scaligero Castle in Sirmione 🏰, a truly unforgettable experience! Walking along the walls and admiring Lake Garda 🏞️ was something unique. . The towers and ramparts offer breathtaking views, a real spectacle! I highly recommend a visit to this gem, a wonder not to be missed! The entrance ticket costs €8 / person #CastelloScaligero #Sirmione #LakeGarda #Italy 🇮🇹❤️💯👌 25.09.2025

The Scaligero Castle is magnificent! Walking over the drawbridge and exploring the grounds felt like stepping back in time. Highly recommend it for its history and beautiful photo opportunities.

This castle is unique because of the moat. You can take a boat tour around it too. View is beautiful and on weekends you can pay extra to go into the moat(dock) area, see photo for timings.

We went there at around 6pm and it was really quiet. The sunset was stunning and city view was beautiful under the sunset. Worth the hiking from city centre. Nice castle!

When we stood on top of the castle, we looked around in awe! What a perfect strategic location it was, together with the romantic scenery of the lake and mountains. Later, we found out online that it was built in the 13th century by the Scaligeri family of Verona. It was not only a fortress for defense but also served as a military harbor on Lake Garda. Walking inside, you can truly feel the power of its massive stone walls and sense the military strength of those who once ruled here. It is absolutely worth climbing up close to sunset.

A very beautiful and well-maintained castle surrounded by a majestic fortress wall. You can choose between a variety of gelaterias, or take a motorboat ride around the peninsula. The only downside is if it rains heavily and there is nowhere to take shelter.

Beautiful Castle and beautiful surrounding views. I wouldn't recommend visiting on the weekend as we went on a Saturday and it was absolutely packed in the morning so we went back in the afternoon which was much better. The stairs are quite narrow so it's difficult for people to walk past each other which creates a bottleneck in many points going up/down the castle. Otherwise it's a beautiful place and one can take great pictures here. We even saw a proposal which was super sweet 😊

So because & so peaceful here. So glad we stopped in. Such a beautiful cathedral!

One of the most beautiful Cathedrals I’ve had the opportunity to visit. Make sure you look up in every vestibule !

It’s a lot of steps to go up the tower but there is something to see on each floor as well as to catch your breath. It is really worth paying to see the tower which includes access to the Baptist part. But the Tower makes you really look at the clock which is far, far advanced to anything we have still and it still works in part. Plus the great views of the city at the top. The cathedral itself is a must too including the crypt and really a great respite from the heat.

Absolutely beautiful cathedral! The architecture is impressive from both outside and inside. The atmosphere inside is peaceful and highly decorated with paintings. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in Cremona.

A fantastic cathedral. We went to mass which was incredible with voices of the choir like angels. And what a beautiful church. The art is beautiful. Plan on at least an hour for a visit. Longer if you attend mass.

This place is wonderful, the Torrazzo is the 3rd tallest brickwork bell tower in the world, was constructed in 1309. the view from the tower is astonishing

Imposing and vast, much more than you might reckon for a relatively small city as Cremona. The inside is richly decorated (many reinassance artists contributed to its beautifully preserved frescoes) and the vault awe-inspiring. The church is free to visit - the rest of the complex, for example the bell tower, is not. Don't miss the floor mosaics in the crypt!

We had an absolutely fabulous day at the Gardaland! You feel like in a fairytale, and all the roller coasters are very exciting! 😍 I recommend going on a (rainy) weekday, so the queues are shorter and you manage to see everything. Feel free to skip the Jumanji Adventure ride though, it’s not quite worth a 40+ minute wait.

Another amazing amusememt park for kids and older as well. Rides get pretty busy with the nice weather, like in every resort. I wish there was a better overview what each ride offers - we waited 90 minutes for Jumanji adventure, which was absolutely no advanture plus it was all in Italian. Other than that, only 4 rides required height over 140, few over 130. Make sure to check these requirements before going. Also, buying tickets outside od the official venue office is cheaper so look for those selling points in the city.

We visited Gardaland on a Wednesday and had an amazing time! 🎢 The waiting time for each ride was less than 15 minutes, which made the whole experience super smooth. The official app showing live queue times was very helpful — it helped us plan our route efficiently and enjoy more rides. The park is clean, beautifully themed, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and organized, and there were plenty of food options and rest areas. Both the kids and adults had a blast — from the thrilling roller coasters to the fun family attractions. Highly recommend visiting on a weekday if possible — short queues, great atmosphere, and so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic for kiddies as there is a great balance of calmer rides with ease of motion while still holding very good production value. The adult rides too are equally fantastic. I hold the overall experience below Europa park however and wouldn't go too far out of my way to visit it.

So much fun, there's something for everyone. We also went during weekday in October, there was minimal queue and wait time even on popular rides. Absolutely recommended visiting if you have kids and are in the area.

We had such a fantastic time at Gardaland! The park is full of magic, excitement, and plenty of things to do for both kids and adults.There are so many attractions from thrilling rides to fun games that kept us entertained all day. The decorations and themed areas are beautiful and immersive, making it feel like stepping into another world.The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-organized despite the crowds. It’s also worth mentioning that the park is very clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of places to relax, grab food, or cool down.If you’re visiting Italy with kids, Gardaland is absolutely worth it. We left with big smiles and a new fluffy friend. we recommend

I am sure that a family would love this place...my wife and stayed at the Gardaland hotel, and rode the bus to the park in the morning (bus runs every 16 minutes) We love roller coasters and these did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very family friendly and the park is very well cared for (it's clean!) over all a great experience.

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!

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.

Huge gardens with ponds, maze, castels, and other scenic beauties... Can spend days over there. Electric bikes and golf carts are available to rent.

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.

Beautiful place with amazing flowers. You can spend the entire day there. Bicycles are recommended, too bad they are not suitable for all ages.

This area is worth a visit there are plenty of bars in the village one shop we found at the top of the hill there is a free art gallery. Churches of course and 2 museums , archaeological and the castle there is a joint ticket entry for 7 euros the climb up To the top of the castle tower provided a stunning view,the rest less interesting

Stunning hilltop castle nestled in a medieval Italian borgo. The entry fee is minimal and the photos you can take alone are worth the price. The history is also quite interesting. Worth the trip.

It was a great opportunity to visit what still stands of an old castle. Tons of stairs to get to the top. Not a real lot to see. But glad I did it. Not for anyone with issues with heights. I was lucky to do this when no one else was in the building. If you are pressed for time may be worth just checking out the town instead.

Came here to spend a few hours, to see the castle and the other sights and some walk. The whole small medieval town is a sight for itself. We parked down in the village and walk the hill up to the castle. Beautiful buildings and architecture all the way up. And on top of course the castle, the tower and many other sights. As well as a small park with some nice views. The town dates back to the 8th Century, but it believed to be even older. The castle itself (the "Borgo") was build in 1342, while the nearby church "Santa Maria Assunta" dates back to the 11th Century. Then there's the Palazzo del Podestà and the Bell tower and other notable buildings up there in the castle area. It was also the filming location of "Ladyhawke" starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. We came here on a sunday, there were some visitors, but we expected a lot more, free parking available down in the village as well. A really wonderful old town worth visiting. We didn't expect much, since we really didn't know much about the place, but were really impressed by this beautiful town.

Full of bourgeoisie with expensive cars who live in the castle. But beautiful view from the castle and also museum of Italian history and culture.

Well worth a visit to this medieval castle, beautiful buildings and view

Quite and very authentic medieval town. With local food and super views. Here starts Apenino so many possibilities to trekking. Good place to try piacentino cuisine, specific for Emilia Romagnia

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.

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 :)

Very nice and extensive palace, so big that you can get lost ( or out of energy). A must if you travel in Mantova.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A place to visit with a guide that can tell you all the secrets behind the artworks you’ll see not only the epic stories that inspired the works , every room and every image has a story you’ll miss

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!

Hard to find anything for free nowadays! This church was unreal!! I have been to the Sistine Chapel and it was really nice but so crowded and honestly hard to see most of it with really long line ups. This place was painted at the same time in the 1500 and looks so perfect! All free with no lineups !! If you're looking for paintings and beautiful art then you have to make the trip to Parma , pulse the food is way better!!!!!

Simply stunning. Don't miss the cathedral and baptistery if you travel via Parma, a real gem. Tickets for baptistery and museum can be purchased from museum, and cathedral entry is free.

The Cattedrale di Parma is absolutely breathtaking. The artwork painted on the walls and ceilings is some of the most extraordinary we have ever seen anywhere in the world, and we have traveled all over Europe. Every detail is magnificent, and standing inside feels like stepping into a masterpiece. We are here in Parma from the US for a month and loving every moment of this city, but the cathedral is truly unforgettable and a must-see.

Beautiful cathedral with stunning frescoes inside. Peaceful spot to take in some history and art right in the heart of Parma.

One of the moat beautiful churches I have ever visided with immense scale and beautiful paintings. It is open and free for the public and it is a miat if you visit Parma.

This cathedral wows you immediately as soon as you walk in. It’s magical, the pictures on the ceiling and walls, the marble work together with wood work in sculptures and inside balconies, simply incredible. No words to describe it, you must visit the Cathedral.

The church is opened every day from 7.45 am to 7.20pm ! Free entry ! The cathedral is dedicated to Virgin Mary! The interior is shaped on a Latin cross! Very impressive church

Very interesting Roman cathedral in Modena. Stone and sculptures outside, bricks inside, darkness and simplicity of Roman pure architecture. Some remarkable sculptures and tombs inside.

One of the most impressive cathedrals I have seen in my life. The architecture is amazing the murals of stunning in the use of marble is unique giving a wet all liquid form to the stone.

Unique cathedral protected by UNESCO. To visit the first floor a 2 Euros contribution is recommended. There's a sarcophagus with the sacred bones of Saint Geminianus. Definitely a place worth of visiting.

This is well worth it visit, you can get half way up the tower and this gives you a very good view of the city around the tower, very interested information is available as you climb.

An incredible piece of architecture, inside and out. The inside was not what I expected it to be. Definately worth a trip up the tower (a seperate entrance) for some amazing views. The stairs are mostly enclosed so it’s not too bad if you aren’t keen on that sort of thing.

Beautiful building, but most charming was the little chapel inside

The Modena Cathedral is a breathtaking Gothic landmark and a true symbol of the city. Its towering presence and intricate details make a lasting impression. Stepping inside, you immediately feel the weight of history in the dimly lit, atmospheric interior. The beautifully sculpted decorations and grand arches add to its majesty, while the adjacent Ghirlandina Tower completes the stunning scene. Whether you love architecture or just want to experience Modena’s essence, this cathedral is a must-see.

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.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.

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.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it

A beautiful and vibrant city center with a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm. The magnificent Neptune sculpture stands proudly as a centerpiece, surrounded by elegant architecture and lively public spaces. The nearby library adds a touch of intellectual and cultural richness, making it a pleasant area to explore and relax. Everything is within easy walking distance — from charming cafés and local boutiques to upscale shopping destinations such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, shopping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this area offers an enjoyable and well-balanced urban experience

Beautiful big piazza in the heart of Bologna. The Basilica is also in the square which is also worth visiting. It has the longest indoor meridian in the world, dating back to the 1600's.

Great central square and public space used to great effect, every evening i was there, a stage was set with speakers talking about future possibilities, and last night an italian classic covering themes like poverty, innocence, friendship from the viewpoint of a young boy. I believe there is a free movie every evening until end of August. Over 500 seats were taken which shows people have an appetite to use pubic spaces in creative ways, well done bologna!

The nightlife in this pizza was unbelievable! We were there at 12:00 am and the live music was still going on with a good crowd and didn't seem it's going to go down anytime soon! Beautiful, big piazza with good vibes and plenty steps to sit on and chill.

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!

The Two Towers of Bologna (Le Due Torri) – A must-see landmark in Bologna! Standing tall in the heart of the city, the towers are not only impressive but also full of history. Walking around them gives you a true sense of medieval Bologna. Truly iconic and worth the visit!

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.

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.

Absolutely beautiful tourist attraction, a lot of history. Unfortunately climbing up wasnt an option as it got closed when I went to visit a week ago.

Lovely spot — surprisingly not too crowded during our visit. This open medieval square offers a refreshing change of pace in a city that can sometimes feel a bit tight and busy. A peaceful breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively.

Visiting during Christmas as just like you own this place! No tourist. Only few people hanging around in the perfect weather. The church is really interesting inside with no fee to entrance.

Enchanting Piazza - criss crossed many times for few days got to see different shades of beauty every time. Peaceful, warm with lovely heritage around.

The Santo Stefano square in Bologna is a place of 7 churches and it has historical significance due to this. A serene place to visit and enjoy the architecture and spiritual environment of churches. Also, you can get food for affordable prices near this square. In Italian, the 7 churches are known as Sette Chiese in Piazza Santo Stefano.

Its cute and nice. Its a minute walk from centre but its so quiet. Very italian. Very beautiful. The piazza in front is good if u just want to chill. Very glowy also

Beautiful Piazza with loads of restaurants. Safe but can be noisy late into the night on Weekends.

Great place, Must see in Bologna. Seven churches - free admission, journey through ages. Square itself is a place to greet and fest graduations. Fun to observe.

Really interesting to think this was once Amphitheatre. Restaurants spill out all around. But note, that during nearly the whole month of October there is a big tent rught in the center, obstructing the view. This is used for Event Comic Lucca last week of October, where 250,000 people will descend upon this city.

Quite a unique place. Oval square in the middle of the walled city of Lucca was a Roman amphitheater back in ancient times and with its destruction, houses were build on its place on the same plot, so the houses are build facing oval square. Place is accessible via 4 entrances from north, east, west and south, like all streets alignment in old Lucca since Roman times. Place is full of restaurants and bars where one can sit and drink aperol and enjoy the wonderful time in Lucca.

Small, beautiful gardens, interesting display inside, worth stopping in if you're close

Amaizing piazza! 🎯 Worth visiting Lucca just for this view, It is like you enter a medieval period with all the buildings around the piazza adding to the feeling and the vibe!

This former amphitheater is a great place to stop for food, drinks and gelato. Many shops nearby. Need to look at the times for restaurants and shops as they tend to close and reopen. Great lively vibe

This place is nice to have a drink after dwelling through it’s surrounding alleys. Lucca more in general is great to have a weekend. Visit !!

History and Happy Hour all in one spot Piazza dell'Anfiteatro did not disappoint. Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is a truly unique and fascinating sight with its rare oval shape, built on the ruins of an ancient Roman amphitheater. The atmosphere is charming and full of character. To top it off, the surrounding cafés were offering tempting drink specials—Aperol Spritz for only 3 euros! It’s the perfect place to soak in some history while sipping a refreshing cocktail.

Very unique place of the walled city of Lucca. Its almost whole round walkable on the top of the walls or street inside the walls. Plenty of trees, walkways are suitable for jogging and fitness exercises and walking of the locals. very calm green place. From the walls you can see the old city and also outside, small water channels under the wall. All around are about 11 bastions and couple of gates to the city. The wall is 4 km long and is among the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in Europe, and the second largest intact example of a fully walled Renaissance city after Nicosia on Cyprus.

A short walk...even with your roller bag...from the train station to the walls of Lucca. I always get a smile when the gate comes into view. The walled city of Lucca still holds plenty of lore with its many restaurants and merchants. This trip we stayed at the Grand Universe right in the center of Lucca so we could be immersed in the city culture and people.

We used the ramp at Porta di San Pietro to take a one-hour stroll anticlockwise along the wall. The views of the old city on one side and of the Lucca hills and Apuan Alps on the other are charming and inspiring. Due to lack of time we were not able to walk the entire length (4.4 km) of the wall, but the segment we did, was organized as a usual public park. The park would benefit of informative panels that could provide visitors with historical context and details on the surrounding area.

Well worth seeing. Amazing. Careful with toddlwrs near the top as its a sheer drop

Fun way to visit the city. You can walk, stroll, bike, we rent a 6 person bike. 1-2h walking.

My favourite part of our visit to Lucca was the Mura di Lucca. An absolutely brilliant use of the city wall by having a multipurpose recreational trail on top of the wall! Paved for walking and wheeling, the many ramps give ready access for users. The bulwarks of the wall have parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Several museums and the Botanical gardens are accessed from the trail. The Mura also has several gates as well as pedestrian tunnels. Stunning views of the hills surrounding Lucca. Worth a saunter!

Amazing and beautiful scenery. You can either walk around on the walls or rent a bicycle for faster movement. The view from the walls is truly beautiful.

Riding the funicolare to the top of the mountain is totally worth it!! While you are up there- explore the small medieval village! The view is fabulous! 👍❤️

Great experience—definitely recommend! The return ticket was €7 per person, and absolutely worth it. Montecatini Alto felt like stepping back in time. I absolutely loved it! 🥰

It was a fun, relaxing ride, you have plenty of information available on the spot regarding its history an elevation angles. And the view from Montecatini Alto is magnificent. The funicular program makes it hard to miss the experience (it is open until 24.00).

The journey is gentle and slow enough to be able to enjoy the view. Staff were friendly and a return ticket is €7. We enjoyed our visit to Montecatini Alto, there are several small shops and a central square with restaurants, a bar, and Gelato shop. lots of outdoor seating and shade in a medieval village.

If you're in Montecatini then you should visit Montecatini Alto using the Furnicular! This is the mountain Railcar that takes you up to the small town with big views! Trains run every 30mins all day and night (not overnight) and tickets cost €7.50

This was a really nice experience. If your in this region of Italy, then you must try it

A lovely little ride up/down the mountain in a historic funicular car. The cost for a round-trip/return ticket is €7.50, and the cars run on the hour and half-hour until midnight (see the attached schedule). Walking up the Alto is quite a trek (I did it and was certainly out of breath by the top), so save yourself the trouble and take this!

I saw about 60 people, maybe as it was so hot? Prices are not worth the detour. Clean and secure though, some nice eateries

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.

No better place for a Sunday after 5 PM! The outlet near Florence is the perfect spot to spend a relaxed Sunday evening. After 5 PM, the crowds thin out, making it ideal for browsing top designer stores without stress.

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.

Very nice outlet, you can walk around and enjoy lot of italian and worldwide brands, prices are good. Lot of stores for kids clothes. There are coffee shop to rest and enjoy drink.

Wow… amazing place. Just the experience of this place is spectacular Local hotels/hosts might have discounts for this place.. ask in reception

Decent outlet mall just outside of Florence, has most of the larger brands you would expect. No large discounts however when we were there. Parking options are great and layout of the area is well arranged. Felt however a bit desolated on a rainy weekday.
