Great museum to visit, when you visit the seaside village don’t miss it.

This small museum is actually a little gem! There is a ton of information and many artifacts related to the life of a fishermen, seamen and the art of boat crafting through the centuries, focused on the Adriatic. We enjoyed a lot our visit, actually we would like to have more time to spend. Another positive thing is that it stays open until late. 5 stars, a must see in Cesenatico.

Wonderful place

Nice little museum with ships inside and examples of native wildlife of Adriatic as well as history of marinistic life of The region.visit and you wont regret

Nice and historical open air boat museum

have a wonderful place, lot of lovely restaurent there,and the sea side is so beautifully.

Interactive and kids friendly marine museum.

wonderful, beautiful place to relax in the evening. delicious food in local restaurants along the canal, fresh seafood, colorful!!!

Cesenatico Is a wonderful Town to visit in Italy. The town is centered around the Canale Leonardesco.

Beautiful spot to visit and reachable by bike. Small restaurants by the channel are very cozy, a bit overpriced due to the location. On the left of the channel there is a nice museum of maritime history and a nice art gallery that makes occasional shows. On the right of the channel is the access to the old village where there is a merry go round and a market in the evenings. Stunning the old boats in the channel.

A cute & cozy place. Kids were fascinated to see all that boats. We recommend La Pizzeria Materiaprima (Pizza al taglio) situate on The boardwalk. The best pizza we ate so far.😋🤤

Great little town with a very picturesque centre running along the river filled with boats. Lovely atmosphere. Good restaurants and "gelateria's"

Came here on a boat trip from Bellaria and what a stunning place it was. All the boats up the river, and the marina restaurants were sending out sounds and smells that stay with you for a long time. There was a little street event going on with wooden table games and everybody was having a great time. I will not forget this place in a hurry!!

"Porto canale Leonardesco" because is a man-made canal designed by the one and only Leonardo da Vinci. It's the heart of Cesenatico, especially in summertime, and it hosts various events during the year (Nativity scenes during Xmas time for example). Around the canal you may find pubs, shops, and restaurants. Very suggested.

Great little theme park. More aimed at children under 10 but plenty of older couples and families visit too. Nice to see all the major landmarks and walk around them.

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.

The most amazing tematic park we've ever been. Attractions, miniature Italy and Europe, the remake of Piazza Italia and Venice by boat is simply amazing. We spent a fantastic day there, highly recommended.

Very nicely done with many side activities for children, the map is done with attention to detail, trains and boats coming and going, the venice boat trip is especially nice. Needs about 3-4 hours to absorb it all, but even more time can be spent here with options to eat, coffe and sweets.

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.

We had amazing time with the kids. We visited for evening visit (18-23h, special dates this summer), when every ticket was only 10euro and all the rides were free. Definitely worth a visit!

A very nice place to spend a few hours. 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.

Blown away, way better then some of the much more known theme parks in this area! Loved our visit, were sad we didn’t come here earlier to be able to take advantage of the second day free entry as well. We visited with a 1 year old and there were so many rides he could go on, really really amazing. Kind of like how theme parks used to be, great vibes!

Somewhat basic themepark for smaller kids but has quite a few rides for various age groups and also has some shows, especially the circus performance is surprisingly good! Limited separate payment offerings in the park almost everything is included in the admission. Be sure to get the wristband for a second day visit if you enjoyed. There is a souvenir shop near the exit and sometimes a booth directly at the exit handling it.

This place is very cool. I highly recommend going with children in warmer weather. There are many places to eat but the choice is small. Very cool atmosphere, only a few attractions need to be renovated.

If you haven't seen it yet, you've missed something. Fabilandia is an entertainment park that's a little different from the others. And I mean that in the best possible way. The park was built in 1965 and extends around a large lake. The attractions have been expanded over the years, but the charm of a mature structure is evident everywhere. Plenty of greenery and tall trees provide shade, and there's a diverse mix of smaller attractions, bouncy castles, rides, roller coasters, and themed structures. The rides aren't wild, but their charm comes from the ambiance. With a lot of imagination and attention to detail, magical places have been created that children can immerse themselves in; whether it's traveling through the earth on a worm and seeing gnomes, riding a wagon through Merlin's castle in a ghost train-like manner, or riding a minecart through a gold mine. The park captivates with its charming atmosphere.  Despite its age, the buildings and rides are in very good condition. The park is a magical place that stands out very positively from other parks where commercialization is paramount. At Fiabilandia, almost everything is included in the admission price; be it a boat ride on a paddle steamer, a train ride, the many roller coasters, or the go-kart track. The target audience is clearly families with younger children up to approximately ten years old. Our seven-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed the park. The centerpiece seems to be a circus that delivers a wonderful, comic, acrobatic, and magical show at a very high level. If you visit the park, don't miss the circus. There are two other shows, one in the Western town and a musical theater. A day ticket for a family with one child costs €58 and is also valid the next day. So, for this price, you can visit the park for two days.  However, you will need to get a wristband at the exit for re-entry the next day. We were there during the Whitsun holidays in June and hardly ever had to wait in line for longer than three minutes. Often, we were able to get straight onto the next train. For us, it was the most beautiful family-friendly entertainment park we have ever visited, and we will definitely be back. For us adults, it was a dream trip back to our own childhood and a relaxing time in a beautiful atmosphere. Between the individual attractions, we were able to sit in the shade, watch the waterfowl or fish, or relax on one of the loungers in Maui Bay. Two suggestions: a gold washing area where kids can find "gold" and by washing out sand with pans would be a great interactive experience. Maybe the train could run more constantly on a regular basis around the park?

Theme park in Rimini Italy. The target audience are families with kids but you can have a great time even as an adult couple. You need 3-4 hours for the whole park. After 17:30 the ticket price is lower. There is a big parking but you pay extra. Not many food and drink options. I had visited Fiabilandia as a kid 25 years ago and many things have changed since then. If you are staying in Rimini,Fiabilandia worths your visit.

I have to say it is better than it looks! Perfect for a family day out. We had to come back with my nephew and niece for the second day to finish rides we didn't do in the first day and there was no extra charge. Plenty of rides for smaller kids, very good circus performance and theatre show. Also everyone serving food was extremely nice and helpful!

If you have children less than 12/13 years old this is the place where they can have a real fun! In April not at all overcrowded and you can have all the rides that you want! Yes the attractions are a bit dated but my children didn’t mention it! For sure is less expensive of other Parks and the food served in the restaurant there was not bad!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful visit on a very foggy day but still worth it. Easy walk up hill that is well sign posted. Good signage inside. Probably great views but not the day I visited as you can see in the photos.

Fun park, we enjoyed the predators and dolphin show! Lots of activities for the little ones - playgrounds, splash pads etc., as well as looking at farm animals. Very reasonsably priced meals in the park.

The Delfin show is really one of a kind! Enjoyed every minute of it. Great staff and very caring. The other part of the facility is really nice too, we had a good walk. The most greatest thing is the rock look like audio in the bush. 😄

This park is nice, has really nice shows but there were more people who couldn't find the entrance to the park. You have to go thru Aquafan. Dolphins are the best and the show is spectacular.

The dolphins show is great but short. There are just two shows a day which is also kind of sad Almost all content is in Italian so inconvenient for foreigners Bunch of other activities, a lot of room for improvements but it's great to visit definitely!

This is a great place for family with kids. There is a big aquapark next to it but Oltremare fun park is worth of 1/2 day visit. Come early like 9:30 and you will get parking under the trees and you will be on time for all commented attractions during day. Flying birds show, and a especially do dolphins 🐬 it was fabulous. 25mins show limes which are kind of going from one to the next one. It is definitely possible to spend here whole day.

Really fun place to visit on a cloudy day. If you take your time it takes about 5 hours to see it all (including 2 shows). Be sure to get there on time. When we visited, the dolphin-show was only one time that day, and you don't want to miss that

The show with the dolphins and birds is amazing. Absolutely interesting for kids and adults, if you want to see everything and eat there, you are gonna need to spend 5-6 Hours there. The Personal is friendly, there are shops, restaurants, lot of kids playgrounds, worth every penny.

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

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!

The prices are very reasonable, and all the animals are adorable. The penguins were so friendly, and the staff was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!

Really nice aquarium with lots to see for old and young. There also lots of other attractions like dinosaurs, insects and so on, but the aquarium was most impressive to us.

There are a lot of different kinds of fishes, but despite the huge area, only half of the exhibition was interesting. Nevertheless, kids were happy, especially in the dinosaur area.

Very suitable for children to visit. I took my little one to visit on August 22nd. It was a very pleasant experience. I especially liked the blue pavilion. I bought the tickets on the official website, which was very convenient.

It does not matter if you don't have a doctorate in Arts, you will appreciate this place, the name and the other worldly ability of this painter and his father. Please visit and get a real feel for the artist.

Leaves a lot to be desired. If you expect to see any works by Raphael, you will be disappointed. There are many other works displayed but not much is offered in the way of explanation and half of them are unlabelled anyway. There are several empty shelves so there is possibly more to see in the tourist season. I would recommend a visit if you are an admirer of the artist and know what to look for. The museum bookshop is well-stocked but virtually only has Italian literature. The entrance fee is 4€.

Not much original work left, mostly copies, the house itself is nice.

We didn't enter the house, but we noticed something strange. During the day, there is a 'plate' to indicate that this is the birth house of the famous painter. In the evening, the 'plate' is gone. Maybe some fans see it as a collector's item? If you believe this review is useful, then please 'like' it.

This is a private museum, so it's won't contain too many real work, most work is copy. entrance fee for 3.5 euro, well, personaly I think it's a little bit high consider the content. But in a way, I think it's worth this value since you can experience the track of young artist, and you won't miss the fresco made by Raffaello when he was 14

You feel the medieval atmosphere in this house. You can wander from one room to another and imagine how families lived here, cooked food, met friends. I highly recommend this place if you want to get this feeling.

Interesting place, worth seeing if you are nearby. Admission is € 3,50. Several works of art by several famous artists including Raffaello

Wow. What a stunning place. Cannot recommend it enough. Gorgeous fortress. Beautiful churches throughout. Picturesque with incredible views. And a delicious little gelato place. Wow. We didn’t go inside the fortress - we just wandered around and took in the beauty. Highly recommend the trip.

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.

Interesting spaces, visited on the first Sunday of the month when entrance is free

Amazing experience to visit this gigantic palace. The art works are breathtaking as are the architectural features. Don't miss the absolutely unique inlaid doors, such artistry.

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!

Majestic structure, impressive from outside. It's worth a visit, there is an interesting collection of paintings and ceramics inside. More impressive from outside than inside but definitively worth 2 hours visit, while strolling around the beautiful Urbino.

Typical of the area, a fortified town with a castle on top of a hill. Many like this in the area, built as a defensive base hard to attack. This one is well preserved and the castle itself is open some days. The views from the castle are spectacular, and you then understand why it was built here. The small town is well kept with the typical small narrow streets. We enjoyed the visit

Very cosy little museum. Not so much to see, but a very nice atmosphere.

Beautiful rocca. Fun for the kids.

Mid-evil defence tower dating back to 1492. 5 floors to visit. Great view from the tower. Old weaponry displayed inside. Short visit. Free parking 500m away

Great old castle with puppets from the 60' showing the life back in the medieval times (from the prison to a banquet). My 3 yrs old daughter love it

Must see if you like the most beautiful Italian's villages

Medieval town on the hills near Pesaro and Urbino province the castle is the main attraction with its historic reconstruction of the war machines

Coming out of the train station, you'll be treated to an impressive view of this imposing defensive structure. For an entrance fee of €5 per person, you can visit this elaborately restored complex and also enjoy a beautiful view of the old town. The staff is very friendly and speaks English. Both the fortress and the town are highly recommended. Beautiful, with their own unique charm. Thank you for the wonderful day.

Went there for the Harley Davidson event,great town,great time

Just your normal medieval castle, there’s a park near it. Go if you are in Senagalia.

Each year, the Summer Jamboree festival is held here. Rock and Roll music, vintage market, concerts and old timer cars.

The Roveresca Fort is near city centre in the commune of Senigallia, located in Ancona province of Marche region, in central Italy. The fort was constructed in 15th century by the duke Giovanni della Rovere, is symbolic monument of the city, constructed with bricks. The fort still stands tall in perfect condition, is a splendid example of military architecture of Renaissance period.

Beautiful atmosphere during the Summer Jamboree.

Summer jamboree

Beautiful long walk on the promenade.

I love the Rotanda and the surrounding area. I knew when I first saw it 28 years ago when visiting my family, I was going to retire her. I live a few blocks over from here, and I just love it.❤️

A lovely beach, spent all day here, sunbeds are free, there are a lot of I flatable toys for the kids. Seaside was spotlessly clean and nice. Very busy but a very long stretch of beach with plenty of sunbeds and plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. We hired a epdsl quad bike and explored the town on bike which was very nice. Definitely worth a visit.

A very beautiful walk around it. It is one of the most known tourist attractions in the city of Senigallia.

Nice cocktail hour before dinner and after a dip in the sea.

Iconic place of Marche Riviera. It was a national place, where music 🎶 and events took places...today hosts exhibitions and museums

Nice view 360 degre view...you are right above the sea and can go around have a and possibility to go on the top roof

Hidden gem. Gubbio is a very welcoming place absolutely one of my favourites spots we were there for the rise of the Chero it was fantastic, the energy and vibe of the place is amazing.

Being somewhat isolated the basilica has the ambiance of a retreat or something, unusually with a pleasant courtyard fronting the basilica itself. It was all very peaceful until in true Italian style they display the corpse of Saint Ubaldo in a glass coffin. This time proudly on top of the altar. Not my cup of tea. If this might upset you then perhaps a visit to the nearby cafe is in order.

Interestinf church, on top of the hill ovelooking Gubbio. The lady at the bookshop was highly competent in the history of the saint and told us every detail we couldn't learn from a regulat guide book. We had great fun getting there with a 12 minute journey via cable car. Spectacular view!

Once in my life I'll take the funicolare to reach the hill. Need of some works to refurbish the terrace and so the restaurant there. Sight is magnificent so a place to rest should be open.

Situated right at the top of Gubbio, its this magnificent church. You see all the city and at the center of the church lies the body of St Ubaldo. Is really beautiful to live or visit this place.

Patron of Gubbio. Sweeping views from this majestic church overlooking the town of Gubbio. Reach by car or cable car. Mass is reverent and the people friendly. A nice cafe to enjoy a beverage after mass

Very interesting. You can see the (slightly freaky) preserved remains of Saint Ubaldo and also the traditional Ceri used on his feast day.

Definitely worth a visit tho the painting gallery is hit and miss. The tablets are one of the main reasons for visiting, also helping to understand the ancient history of the region. Some of the frescoes help make this worth your time. Shame the panorama terrace is mainly blocked for safety. Overall, worth the time and money.

Palazzo dei Consoli is a Gothic palace built in the first half of the 14th century. The palace is built on a large platform. The palace houses a collection of local artifacts from prehistory onwards.

One of the most beautifull civic building in Italy build in 1330. The administration of town was in it. Inside is museum, but didn't go in. Bought to much chocolate in Perugia...so...happy wife, happy life.😂😭😂😭 There is also a nice view of Gubbio from the square in front of it.

A rare example of authentic medieval architecture. It's definitely a MUST SEE altogether, with many other precious jewels of Gubbio, "La città di pietra"

Stunning exhibition and god experience with great views towards Gubbio.

Great place to visit. See all the history of Gibbio and Umbria. During my visit on Sunday it was were not many people. Most of the cards are in English and Italian. For some there is only Italian. There is a possibility to get a ticket for tree musea in which this one is included. Even for the top view i would recommend to go into this museum.

Miracle

Really loved this place. Only drawbacks were the distance between all the places to see, excessive hills to get there and the terrible store mannequins dressed badly to look like Disney characters. Loved seeing the animals in natural setting, the labyrinth was great, wonderful to see Cappuccetto Rosso, Pinocchio etc but would have liked to see the other houses that were closed up for unknown reasons.

DO NOT VISIT THIS. ANIMAL RIGHTS ARE OFFENDED. This parc should be closed immediately. The animals get the basic water and hay but no care has been given to them and the shelters are very small. A lot of animals are alone....

I visited this beautiful animal park on Halloween weekend and I must say it brought beautiful memories and nostalgia how we celebrate Halloween in America. The decorations were so cute and the spooky music in the background all made the experience special. The nature is magnificent and you want to stay all day. The bathrooms and the whole area is kept very clean. I would suggest perhaps, adding some educational and interactive shows about the animals , and keeping the park open for some hours during the week.

Big parking spot (came with an RV) The park is big however, it the end of the season so the restaurant, tractor tour, electric cars and every thing is not working. Nice place to walk around for a couple of hours with the kids

Cutely Creepy- this amusement park was built in the 70’s, back then it must have been a blast. There is train that takes visitors around the park to explore the different themes : Pinocchio, Sleeping beauty, Riding red hood etc. In addition there are a zoo and a reptiles park where visitors can get insights about the different animal species. Despite the many options the complex looks it hasn’t been updated over the last 60 years. Either you like the nostalgic vibe or not, it is up to you.

IF I COULD I WOULD HAVE RATED THIS LOWER! DO NOT COME HERE! We went here to go have some fun on rides but when we went there the lady TOLD US THAT ALL THE RIDES WERE CLOSED!!! THE OBLY REASON WHY WE WENT IS BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE WASTED MONEY TELLING THE TAXI DRIVER TO COME HERE. The lady working there kept on talking like a freaking NPC. I only saw 2 workers and 5 other people! Our flight ended up having a delay and we were 6 people in total so we ended up coming at 4:30pm but the park closed at 6:00pm. SHE DIDN'T EVEN GIVE US A DISCOUNT EVEN THO WE HAD TO PAY €100. THIS IS SUCH A DISGRACE! DONT COME HERE AGAIN! I forgot to mention that there were only animals and the deer's escaped from there place!

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! I don't know if the 5 star reviews of this place have been paid for or if some people just have extremely low standards, but this place should be closed down. If I could give less stars I would. The park is completely dilapidated and unfit for purpose, perhaps it would have been good in the 90's but it seems there has been no care or maintenance since then. The play area's for the children are a complete health and safety hazard full of uneven surfaces and big rocks. I didnt let my child play there in fear of him getting hurt. The animals just look sad and completely miserable at their crappy surroundings. We went on a Monday to find that most of the attractions were closed. We found the place so depressing we left after just under an hour. My husband asked for a refund as we were extremely unhappy with the whole experience, just to be told by the manager we should have come yesterday as 'there was entertainment and it was better'. My question is why bother opening on a Monday if half the park/attractions are closed. We were refused a refund by the manager, he said he couldn't refund us, more like he didn't want to. What an absolute scam of a place, we felt completely ripped off and we left with a sour taste in our mouth. Don't make the mistake we did and not read the reviews properly, I saw 3.8 stars out of 5 and assumed it would be fine, it really wasn't. If you're looking for a nice family day out I recommend Lacugnano piscina in Perugia, don't waste your hard earned money here like we did! I honestly can't believe this establishment has the audacity to charge almost €50 for 2 adults and a child. If you insist on being open on a weekday with extremely limited attractions then it should be free. Do better!

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.

Amazing experience! Must visit

Very beautiful and amazing place

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.

There are very few places across Europe that will offer you this experience without having to crawl yourself through dark and humid places. Incredibly beautiful experience.

Most outstanding place that I've ever been. Our Tour Guide was exceptionally knowledgeable

VERY enjoyable! Amazing beauty everywhere!😀👍

Visited the museum with my wife and our dog during our stay at the Villa Gioia in Fabriano. We had to follow a group of school kids of about 13-14 years old. The tour was guided by a young man who was excellent in his presentation. The language was Italian but I think it's possible to obtain a translator for other languages. I was amazed by what I saw and heard, the explanations were clear and also entertaining at the same time. We were able to see the process of ancient paper production and also modern paper production. There was also a very interesting part on the introduction of the watermark, used on many types of quality paper and in particular paper currency. This museum is great for kids and adults and is also visitabile by less able thanks to the staff who provided a ramp for my wife to enter the museum and then transported her to the first floor in a lift. There is also a very nice shop to buy gifts.

Amazing morning at the museum. We didn't book ahead and we probably should have. School groups were touring on the same day so when the guide finished with them, he offered to take us around. His English was limited but we managed and he was so kind to take us around. He showed my 6-year-old how to make paper and let him try it out. Highly recommended activity for families. I suggest to plan better than we did and go when there is an English tour so it's even better. There's a great playground and park across the street where you can do a picnic after.

A must-see in Fabriano, being the first town in Europe to produce paper, it has a great history. The museum itself is easy to reach, set in abeautiful ancient and well kept building, with any kind of facility for disable and has a video in English to explain what you are going to see before you start.

Very interesting place, good for families. English excursions not every day. Still worthy to visit. We have got a pleasant workshop for kids and produced a souvenir with own hands.

I went here for a class field trip! It was really cool to see because they take you through their history, you can also actually make paper if you take a tour. It is old fashioned but they show you how they keep up their modern touch. The town surrounding the factory is also very nice. It is totally worth seeing and making a stop at their factory with their excellent guides!

This was a very educational and creative experience, guides are amazing is a small museum but is a ton of information that you receive in a very natural way

I loved every bit about this museum. Lots of amazing history, the staff were helpful and friendly, and I learned so much about the history of writing medium as we know it. Thank you very much!!

So special to experience these beautiful churches - up and down! We got to enjoy an English mass at 9am on Sunday. Touring with Rick Steeves podcast in our ear was great (also the town walk is so good). Loved the museum in the back. The highlight of course was the crypt, to spend some time in the presence of St Francis. Well- we know his presence is with us in Christ, but so cool to see his tomb. The Giotto frescoes are amazing and the ceilings- wow, that blue- I love it.

Lovely Medieval town - Assisi - famous for St Francis' Basilica, which we visited. Also had a lovely cappuccino but didn't stay for lunch. Escalators available to get you into the higher parts of town from all the car parks so no worries for older and less mobile visitors. A must-see if in Umbria

Today's highlight. You don't want to miss this place when in Assisi. Prepare for a walk uphill and downhill. Travel light but bring some coins or bills for the offering and candles. There's plenty of good restaurants and giftshop in the area. Walking distance to visit the tombs of St. Clare and Saint Carlo Acutis.🙏🙏🙏

What an amazing experience to be able to come on a pilgrimage here. The church is very beautiful and full of meaning. There is a tomb of St. Francis of Assisi under this church. There is also a museum, and a souvenir shop. Don’t forget when you enter, there is a prayer paper that we can take and write, so that later we can bring it to the tomb area of St. Francis, and we give to the brothers here to pray. Then don’t forget after shopping at the souvenir shop, bring it to the blessing section near the exit.

We visited here as part of a tour group, it has amazing art work throughout, its just a shame you can not take photos of your visit. It is a very large complex and will stun you by its size, it gets busy and has some stairways that are narrow.

Another beautiful and amazing church in Italy, the Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi. We can visit the tomb, the mortal remaining of St Francis of Assisi, which was preserved since 1230. Also, this church is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. there are two distinct churches: the Upper and Lower Basilicas. Visitors can explore intricate chapels adorned with remarkable artwork while learning about the rich history through audio guides.

A beautiful building with breathtaking murals inside. Photos are not permitted inside but it is well worth visiting. The murals are floor to ceiling and it's also a pleasant place to spend an hour out of the heat just admiring the works. ⛪

We attended the procession at night. Arrive early for the rosary and have time to pick up a candle. It was packed inside the church. It was a nice, moving experience when in the area. The church is currently undergoing some renovations.

What a beautiful church. Most special because of the portinocula - St Francis’ special little church. Incredible works of art- especially one of Francis receiving the stigmata. They also have confession booths with multiple languages, with very caring and open priests ready to hear and help you draw close to God. Francis’ place of death and his rose garden as well. Wonderful masses offered. A great gift shop. I wish I had bought more Tau necklaces while I was there to give to others. Also the bookstore is awesome. So many great Franciscan themes and authors.

Hi there, A Cathedral with impressive art on walls and ceiling. Well it was not allowed to take pictures but I've done one.

A very nice basilica in Assisi, probably often overlooked because people flock up to the hilltop to the town and the more famous basilica and other attractions. This is on the other side of the main train station of Assisi. It’s actually walkable distance from the train station. There is a nice museum, rose garden and gift shop in side as well. The piazza Della Porziuncola in front of the basilica is quite large and nice to walk around and take in the beauty of this place.

Beautiful Basilca where inside there is the Little Church that St Francis Of Assisi had renovated when he mistakenly got the message from The Cross wrong as he thought he had to rebuild the small Church but realised God meant the World Church .

Amazing experience, was able to take my mom to the place she always dreamt of… such a lovely experience

Attended Mass here on Sunday, with a good amount of pilgrims. Large inside, under renovations now even the Porziuncola. It’s a very special place to visit where St Francis prayed with his followers & passed away.

Just recently had a visit to this beautiful Cathedral every work of Art & piece of Sculpture is better than the other 👌 St Clare is one of my favourite Saints 💚.

Thank you for being able to visit the church in person on 15/5/2025 and drink beer that can only be found in Assisi🍻It would be great if I could stay for one night next time

May 2025. Nice Church with a square. The square has a fountain and carousel plus a nice view of the lowlands

Here is a 500-word review of the **Basilica of Santa Chiara** in Assisi, Italy: --- **Basilica of Santa Chiara – A Sacred Gem in the Heart of Assisi** Nestled on the slopes of Assisi with sweeping views over the Umbrian valley, the **Basilica of Santa Chiara** (Saint Clare) is a peaceful, radiant tribute to one of the most beloved figures in Christian history. Though often overshadowed by the grand Basilica of Saint Francis just a short walk away, Santa Chiara offers its own powerful spiritual presence and architectural beauty that moves visitors in quieter, more intimate ways. Built in the mid-13th century and dedicated to **Saint Clare of Assisi**, a close follower and spiritual companion of Saint Francis, the basilica serves as both a place of worship and a physical testament to her legacy. Clare was the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, later known as the **Poor Clares**, and she lived a life of radical poverty, humility, and service. This same simplicity is echoed in the church’s design. The façade of the basilica is striking in its understated elegance. Composed of alternating bands of pale pink and white stone from Mount Subasio, it reflects the light in soft, ethereal tones—particularly at sunrise or sunset. A large rose window adorns the front, typical of Umbrian-Gothic architecture, and the entrance is humble, yet inviting. The bell tower, added later, completes the silhouette of the church against the sky. Upon entering the basilica, the **atmosphere shifts dramatically**. It’s quiet, dimly lit, and deeply contemplative. The simplicity of the interior draws the eye and the heart toward what matters most: prayer and reflection. Frescoes adorn the walls, including some attributed to early followers of Giotto. These delicate images tell the story of Saint Clare’s life and her profound faith, adding color and warmth without overwhelming the space. The true heart of the basilica lies beneath, in the **crypt where Saint Clare’s body rests**, displayed in a glass coffin. Pilgrims and visitors alike approach with reverence. Her incorrupt body, long preserved, serves as a reminder of the depth of her devotion. Surrounding her tomb are relics of both Saint Clare and Saint Francis, including tunics, haircloths, and personal effects that humanize these legendary figures and connect the visitor to their daily lives. Outside the basilica, the **piazza** offers a panoramic view of the Umbrian countryside, making it one of the most beautiful and tranquil spots in Assisi. Whether you're a pilgrim, a history enthusiast, or a casual traveler, sitting on the stone steps as the bells chime can be a moment of deep peace. The **Basilica of Santa Chiara** is not grand in a worldly sense, but its spiritual weight is undeniable. It embodies the Franciscan values of humility, beauty, and inner strength. In a town steeped in faith and history, this sacred space is both a monument to a powerful woman and a place where the soul can breathe. Visiting Santa Chiara is not just about seeing a church; it’s about feeling a presence—a gentle call to simplicity, compassion, and silent grace.

Absolutely beautiful basilica. The crypto of Saint Clare is special and worth spending a good amount of time. There's some beautiful artwork, cross, architecture. It can get busy at times though.

Very beautiful and artistic church. It's right near the town centre.

A deeply religious place related to Saint Chiara of Assisi. Her remains are found in the crypt of this basilica.

Breathtaking and very picturesque place. Great piece of culture that can be appreciated by both believers and atheists.

A ‘thin’ place of connection with God, run by humble friars. The main centre was quite busy and museum like, with a well laid out and preserved history of this hermitage of St Francis and his brothers and those who built this monastery after. The two gems for for were: 1)the time with God hiking there. It was beautiful, and the first half was harder than I expected. I was glad I left nearly in the morning and wore good shoes. I did notice others walked along the road to get there. (You can drive as well, thus lots of people there.) 2) taking time out in the caves and spots of worship on the grounds. There was even a pilgrimage mass going on at the far end - so lovely. Not only was this a moment of historic learning, it was a time of deep connection with Jesus.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. If you go to Assisi you must go. Free entrance

An enchanting spot in the hills. Would highly recommend walking up and taking the forest path - everyone seems to walk up the road but there is a very clearly signed path from the city wall which goes up through the forest. It is a challenging uphill climb but well worth it for the views and peaceful site. Plus the feeling of pride at the summit! The hermitage complex is stunning and well worth the walk up.

If you go to Assisi, a beautiful sanctuary to go to is Eremo Della Carceri. You can walk the 4 km up hill, with spectacular views which takes between 1-1 1/2 hrs. There is a welcome cafe at the entrance 🙂. The caves here are where St Francis and his brothers lived and prayed and the monastery was built around them. The grounds on the mountainside are so peaceful to walk and pray in. The monastery has some small passages and narrow stairways, but this adds to the atmosphere. The monks there are very welcoming. Beautiful.

To visit here is like going on a day retreat. I walked from Assisi, it was a steep uphill walk. The building is simple stone nestled in the forest

Is is a lovely place full of calm energy. Not many turists and a really nice hike with views.

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 😀

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.

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.

A very special place, peaceful, where can you find yourself

A holy place. Some say it's second holyplace for Christianity after Vatican . There you can see the house where the mother Mary was born. ( that house bring by angels from jerusalem to italy . ) 27-05-2025

Wonderful basilica. Nice little town, small city center. Worth a visit.

Nice place with a tour that takes you through the rooms where Giacomo Leopardi lived and studied. My experience was a bit ruined by a young boy, a visitor, who told me off while trying to take photos. Photos are permitted everywhere on the site.

It's lovely to explore the house and learn about the family and societal structure of the time. And, of course, its the perfect place if you want to learn about Leopardi's genius intellect and different perspectives.

Casa Leopardi is a deeply moving and beautifully preserved glimpse into the life of the great poet… its historic library, intimate rooms, and family atmosphere bring Leopardi’s world vibrantly to life.

Of all the things suggested in the ticket the house itself with the library is the only one worth visiting. However you cannot take pictures there which is a bit of a shame nowadays

There is not much to add: if you are in Recanati (or just visiting the Marche countryside), you can't forget to pay a visit to Giacomo's house. The biblioteca is an amazing travel back in time and the place where his poetry is born. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend to visit this “museum house” if you know a little of Italian literature and if in the area

A historical house of the big poet Giacomo Leopardi where lived and start write the firsts poems....

Great Lake to relax and not too crowded. Possibility to rent an umbrella with two sun beds for 21€/day. Nice options for snacks and lunch nearby.

Great place for a walk, taking a swim, go for a fishing session, sunbathing, camping.... Can't wait to go back!

nice place to have a swim and look around

Beautiful fresh blue water, with many points around the lake where you can access the water. Good for hot weather.

Great and tranquil place to visit. The drive to it is scenic and does take a while but it is well worth the wait. The water is clear and swimming is a must. The area is picturesque and clean. Parking can be an issue during peak times as the place is popular with both locals and tourists. There is also several places to get light refreshments at a reasonable price.

Very clear, clean and pure lake for swiming and relaxing!!👍🏼☀️

Beautiful lake, absolutely clear water, great place for hiking

Nice little park, you can spend an hour here walking around and chilling. There's a bar and all the amenities. Prices are acceptable.

the place was aesthetically pleasing, really well kept and loads of ducks and swans to keep you company. there was a nice track you could follow all around and walk in the whole park. the water sources weren't exactly pointed out but you can easily spot them. there was also a playground for kids. best place to walk your dog. only thing i didn't like was the entrance fee: it was only 3€ but why would i pay to enter a park? the water sources weren't that breathtaking or odd, there weren't any special features at all apart from a couple of crosses over the lake. so why is it necessary to buy a ticket? overall it was a nice experience. it's also wheelchair accessible but you can't go everywhere.

A shame that this small, beautiful park is privatized and locked behind paid entrance. I only once visited the private park, but found it quite limited and the paid entrance didn't really make sense (although it's only 3€). The emerald waters of the Clitunno are really a wonder. This was once a large river: in roman times boats were able to navigate it, and its source was of strategic and religious importance. Seismic movements drastically changed the river which then became the stream of today. Particular minerals make the water mesmerizingly colourful. Good news! You can enjoy the scenery without entering the paid area. There is a nice free area that is of great beauty as well. Just keep on walking on the main road on the entrance side until you see a restaurant, and enter the natural area there. By the look of it, the park and restaurant area were clearly part of the same park not too long ago, but they've been brutally split with wire fences for monetary reasons. Also consider that there is a very nice free walking path, which runs on the bank of the Clitunno stream, between the enclosed park and the countryside. You can find it after the end of the restaurant free area path: just keep walking towards the countryside, then you will find a horizontal car barrier, get around it and enjoy the walk. All pictures I posted here come from this "free" visit. The area would really shine if they merged all these things together and

Beautiful and peaceful park with ducks and swans, you pay a very small fee to get in and you can buy some food to feed the birds Was a nice place to go a morning walk

Really nice, wild fowls all over the place, some rare species can be found here, crystal clear waters surrounded by lavish vegetation, entry €3 per person but that's OK.

A very beautiful relaxing park.with flows of water Coming from the mountains, aside this , Umbria is such and amazing historical region to visit.

Great place for a quiet walk. Springs, small lakes, lawns, swans and ducklings under huge trees
