Tucked away in a cute corner with a few benches and a sign explaining the history of the fountain.

A quiet, warm feeling spread through my chest when I looked at her, but it was almost instantly followed by a subtle prickle of shame that made me look away. The warmth was pleasant, a soft pull, but the shame was a fleeting, bitter taste, a silent reprimand for having the feeling at all. It was a brief and private tug-of-war, hidden beneath a calm exterior.

Great place to visit. You can calm down here and cool.off from the City. The water that comes from the Woman s breasts ist also drinkable.

Charming and humorous, this little corner with this iconic statue represents well how I see my beloved Italy.

Well worth a visit, as a distraction from the more conservative sights of Treviso Centro Storico. There are two benches and a plaque explaining the fountain. The plaque is only written in Italian and is quite poetic. If you use Google Lens you can get a translation. On the opposite wall from the Pinko store window is another plaque with a poem about Treviso. This is also only in Italian.

A must see place in Treviso as it has a lot of history behind it.

In a place where there is nothing, big stories are made up to attract tourists' attention to small things. The fountain has such a story, but still, it's a fun spot to see and take photos.

(Translated by Google) Visited, attracted by the beautiful reviews, I must say that I was a little disappointed. Starting from the fact that to get there you have to take the ferry, and a ride costs €9.50 and is only valid for 75 minutes, we spent €38 for the two of us going there and back. We got off after 15 minutes from Chioggia to Pellestrina, cemetery stop. On the way back we wanted to stop at Ca Roman, the first stop, they told us that the beach there is more beautiful, wider, less crowded, wilder, but then to return, we would have to pay another €19 because the ticket would have expired to be able to return to Chioggia. In my opinion a little expensive, given the limited time if one wants to visit the island and use the ferry! Once we arrived, we followed the walls, which divides the town from the opposite bank, which borders the beach. After traveling a few km we entered through the vegetation that flanks the sea. On the beach, not very wide, although as described, not yet occupied and in the wild, there were many improvised constructions with wooden poles, shade nets, and various materials, probably created by local people, who brought us everything. From deckchairs, umbrellas, to toys, to barbecues, tables, chairs chained to these improvised gazebos, and more or less, occupy the seafront, the beach. At this point why not take some baths, even temporary ones, which are more useful for those who come to spend a day. On the beach, in addition to the normal debris brought by the sea, wood, algae, logs, shells, there is everything that man abandons us, who has no respect for leaving clean, from bottles to toilet paper under the few plants and shrubs. The uncivilized! Furthermore, the water was particularly dirty, speaking with some local kids they told us that it had been like this for two days, a bit anomalous even for them. So we stayed for a short time, just enough time to eat a sandwich and still enjoy the tranquility of this place, which if looked after a little, would be very nice. Returning to the pier we passed through the streets of the town, colorful houses, which overlook the other bank, in the early afternoon, few people, a few small shops, closed at that time. Returning, flanking the island, we noticed accumulations of buoys and deposits of material on the banks, above the walls, a stretch that can be covered on foot or by bike along the dam that leads to Caroman. That's not a pretty sight either...Maybe it wasn't the right day! (Original) Visitata, attirata dalle bellissime recensioni, devo dire che mi ha un po' delusa. Incominciando dal fatto che per arrivarci devi prendere il traghetto, e una corsa costa 9,50€ e ha validità solo 75 minuti, noi in due andata e ritorno abbiamo speso 38€. Siamo scesi dopo 15min da Chioggia a Pellestrina, fermata cimitero. Tornando volevamo fermarci a Ca Roman, prima fermata, ci hanno detto che la spiaggia lí é più bella, ampia, meno affollata, più selvaggia,ma poi per tornare, avremmo dovuto pagare altri 19€ perché sarebbe scaduto il biglietto per poter rientrare a Chioggia. Secondo me un po' caro, visto il tempo ristretto se uno vuole visitare l'isola, e usufruire del traghetto! Arrivati, abbiamo seguito la mura, che divide il paese dalla sponda opposta, che bagna la spiaggia. Percorso qualche km ci siamo addentrati tramite la vegetazione che fiancheggia il mare. Sulla spiaggia, non molto larga, seppur come descritta, non ancora occupata e allo stato brado, c'erano tante costruzioni improvvisate con pali di legno, reti ombreggianti, e materiali vari, probabilmente create da gente del posto, che ci ha portato di tutto. Dalle sdraio, ombrelloni, ai giocattoli, al barbecue, tavoli,sedie incatenate a questi gazebi improvvisati, e chi più chi meno, occupano il lungomare, la spiaggia. A sto punto perché non fare dei bagni, anche provvisori, più utili per chi arriva a trascorrere una giornata. Sulla spiaggia oltre ai normali detriti portati dal mare, legni, alghe, tronchi ,conchiglie, poi c'è tutto ciò che ci abbandona l'uomo, che non ha rispetto di lasciare pulito, dalle bottiglie, alla carta igienica sotto le poche piante, arbusti. L' incivilta! L'acqua oltretutto, era particolarmente sporca, parlando con dei ragazzi del posto ci hanno riferito che erano due giorni che era così, anche per loro un po anomalo. Così siamo rimasti poco, il tempo di mangiarci un panino, e godere comunque della tranquillità di questo posto, che se un po' curato, sarebbe molto bello. Tornando al molo siamo passati per le vie del paese, casette colorate, che si affacciano sull'altra sponda, nel primo pomeriggio, poche persone, qualche negozietto, chiusi a quell'ora. Tornando, fiancheggiando l'isola ,abbiamo notato degli accumuli di boe e depositi di materiale sulle rive, sopra la mura, un tratto che si può percorrere a piedi o in bici lungo la diga che porta a caroman. Anche quello non é un bel vedere...Forse non era la giornata giusta!

(Translated by Google) A magical place, just outside but far from everything, its long strip of beach is fantastic for meditative walks, it can be easily reached by ferry from Chioggia and the center is really very colorful and recalls "flavours of the past" in the sense that it seems that time has stopped here, services in general; from the bar to the supermarket, ice cream restaurant, they are more than enough to satisfy your needs even on holiday. I will come to visit it in the middle of winter. (Original) Posto che sa di magico, appena fuori ma lontano da tutto, la sua lunga lingua di spiaggia è fantastica per passeggiate meditative, si raggiunge agevolmente in traghetto da chioggia ed il centro è davvero molto colorato e richiama "sapori di un tempo"nel senso che sembra che qui il tempo si sia fermato, i servizi in generale; dal bar al supermercato, ristorantino gelaterie sono più che sufficienti a soddisfare le necessità anche in una vacanza.verrò a visitarla in pieno inverno.

(Translated by Google) Very characteristic place, fishing village and cute alleys.. Too bad it's full of dog excrement in the various flowerbeds and sidewalks. (Original) Posto molto caratteristico, paese di pescatori e vicoli carinissimi.. Peccato che sia piena di escrementi di cane nel varie aiuole e marciapiedi.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place for a Sunday trip if you are near Chioggia. It is a small village of few souls on the island between Chioggia and the Venice beach. A place where time seems to have stopped 30 years ago. Truly characteristic, wonderful sea for being at the top of the Adriatic. You swim on the beach towards the open sea, but the sunset towards the lagoon is enchanting. It is superfluous to point out that you cannot go to Pellestrina and miss out on a fish lunch or dinner! (Original) Un bellissimo posto per una gita domenicale se si è dalle parti di Chioggia. È un paesino di poche anime sull isola tra Chioggia e lido di Venezia. Un posto dove il tempo sembra essersi fermato a 30 anni fa. Veramente caratteristico, mare stupendo per essere in cima all adriatico. Si fa il bagno nella spiaggia verso il mare aperto, ma è incantevole il tramonto verso la laguna. Superluo precisare che non si può andare a Pellestrina e farsi mancare un pranzo o cena di pesce!

(Translated by Google) Clean air and water! Welcoming and sociable locals, friendly prices. Being a fishermen's place, a tourist has the opportunity to buy fresh fish first hand....You won't be disappointed!!!! (Original) Aria e acqua pulita!gente del posto accogliente e socievole,prezzi cordiali .essendo il posto dèi pescatori ,un turista ha possibilità di comprare pesce fresco dalla prima mano....Non vi deluderete !!!!

(Translated by Google) Worth visiting, super! Too bad the price of the vaporetto is worth complaining about! (Original) Da visitare, super! Peccato il prezzo del vaporetto, da denuncia!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful island, 11 km long and 300 meters wide, which can be explored by renting a bicycle on site. The lagoon on one side and the sea on the other! You can't miss a beautiful fish dinner in front One of the most beautiful sunsets on the lagoon that I remember! (Original) Bellissima isola ,lunga 11 km larga 300 metri tutta percorribile noleggiando sul il posto una bicicletta.da un lato la laguna ed dall'altro lato il mare ! Non si può farsi mancare una bellissima cena a base di pesce davanti Un tramonto sulla laguna tra i più belli che io ricordo!

Nothing quite like it. For travellers, this body of water represent life, entertainment, livelihood, connection to ea SH other, services and beauty. So much history, so much beauty! At night time it glitters colours and lights from different establishments. During the day it becomes a guide, a marker for people to follow and wander to their destination. Venice and Grand Canal, where nature and people’s ingenuity combine.

The Grand Canal is the heart of Venice—beautiful palaces lining both sides, gondolas gliding by, and vaporettos buzzing through. Whether you take a boat ride or just admire it from the bridges, the views are absolutely unforgettable.

This waterway runs the entire length of the Lagoon of Venice! There is much traffic on the waterway: water buses, water taxis, gondolas and private boats and amazing to see how they navigate it all. I purchased a 3-Day Water Bus pass and it allowed me to enjoy the beautiful views, massive buildings, Rialto Bridge and exquisite architecture of all the other buildings along the waterway.

The Grand Canal is Venice’s main waterway, offering stunning views of historic palaces and iconic bridges — a must-see for first-time visitors.

It was amazinggg, We loved it.We took the gondola and it was a great experience. We paid 90€ in total for three people. The price does not change depending on the number of people. It is the same whether there are five people. The 30 minute gondola ride is priced at 90€.Definitely take a walk around the back streets, this is essential to understand the spirit of Venice. And definitely eat at more local establishments, it's cheaper and more original.

Obviously a world famous place to go, wonderful, must go there, loved it. Enjoyed a lot, an outstanding experience.

Line 1 of the vaporetto is Venice’s best show. If you’re lucky enough to get the seats beside the pilot cabin, you feel the city open up: the thrum of the engines, the vibration of the deck plates, the water slapping the hull, and palazzi lit like stage sets as you glide past. Rialto was once the world’s trading floor, where goods from East and West were landed — and you sense that weight of history even now, slipping under its arch by night. A vaporetto ride is Venice’s greatest souvenir: not bought, but lived.

This bridge is really beautiful. It offers a nice view around, being quite high and is amazing both day and night. On the downside, it’s crazy crowded and you may need to wait your turn just to take a picture.

The Ponte di Rialto in Venice is one of the most beautiful bridges I’ve ever seen. The combination of the gondolas gliding along the Grand Canal and the bridge’s elegant architecture creates one of the most breathtaking views in all of Venice. It truly feels magical. I highly recommend visiting it!

Fantastic views from either side of the bridge make this bridge well worth a visit. The earlier in the day you can manage the better as it is still crowded in the winter months. However the views are worthwhile and the photo opportunities are excellent.

Visited the Rialto Bridge while in Venice, very easy to get to and visible from different places and also from the water. Lots of shops on each side of the bridge, and lots of gift stalls at each end. A beautiful structure that is equally beautiful in daylight as it is after dark. A must see if in venice

It’s a bridge — but a very beautiful one! The Ponte di Rialto is a great spot to take pictures and enjoy views of the Grand Canal. It’s usually busy, but the atmosphere is amazing. Definitely worth a quick stop when exploring Venice.

Loved staying nearby this beautiful bridge. Definitely a highlight to see it at all times of day, with the shops, the joy of everyone else experiencing the iconic moment and even the tension of all the boats and ferries doing the everyday life and business in the canal around it. There is a great local grocery store just down the canal. We didn’t end up eating in any of the restaurants right there as we found wonderful trattoria away from the crowds. Loved finding new views of it and from it.

An amazing experience. The Rialto bridge is definitely a must-see bridge while in Venice. It gets busy during the day as all tourists know this is a must-visit destination. We came here in October 2025 and there was still a lot of visitors but it is at the end of the season. There are restaurants where you can sit and enjoy cocktails and people-watch. The waterways are very busy so there's always something going on.

Beautiful location. Choose the time of year you go as it can become very busy indeed. The streets of Venice are many and varied with many bridges and not a car to be seen. The waterways are busy too, bustling with boats which is entertaining to watch. Easy access by foot straight from the train station. Most definitely worth a visit but go armed with 'maps' on your phone so you don't get lost.

Such a lovely place to visit, the buildings are stunning. Very busy with a great feel and atmosphere. Very easy to get too, with lots of gift shops and stalls very close by, and also ferrry rides and gondola rides on the waterfont. A wonderfully beautiful place to be. Very hapy to have visited here

Beautiful buildings. Not crowded in October. Pleasant weather. Live music in the middle of the Piazza at Cafe Florian. Best place for some photos. I did not visit the building, just drank a coffee and walked around.

In my opinion, Piazza San Marco is one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The entire place feels almost magical — the canals, the buildings, the bell tower, the palace, and the clock all add a unique touch of grandeur and splendor. This square was one of the main reasons I visited Venice, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend experiencing its charm in person.

Piazza San Marco is absolutely stunning — truly the heart of Venice! The architecture is breathtaking, with St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and the Campanile all surrounding the square. There’s something magical about just standing there, listening to the music from the cafés, and watching the world go by. It can get crowded, but it’s 100% worth visiting. Try coming early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s quieter — the atmosphere is unforgettable. A must-see for anyone visiting Venice

Lots of seagulls that will attack you if you have food. Get ready to defend yourself. Great place that really adds to the magic of venice specially when you are standing in the main plaza

An absolutely stunning place, full of history and beauty. The architecture is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is truly unique. It can get quite crowded, but it’s definitely worth visiting. A must-see spot in Venice!

A visit here is €15, somehow steeper than visiting the actual basilica over the square, but I think it was worth it. You get a quick lift ride to the top of the tower and then obviously the views across the city. It was a bit rainy when we went but this didn’t ruin the experience. We did expect some kind of joined up ticket system for St. Mark’s Square; I think it would be good to be able to buy a linked ticket for the basilica, campanile and palace. Similar to the Doge’s Palace, the online ticket system was hard to navigate but it worked in the end.

It’s really nice being able to see so much of Venice from the top of the bell tower— the views are definitely a highlight and really beautiful. We paid €40 to go up, which felt a bit pricey, but overall the experience was still worth it. It was raining the day we visited, yet we still enjoyed the panoramic views over the city. A memorable stop in Venice!

You can now only purchase tickets for the bell tower online. There is a QR code to scan by the main entrance or visit their official website in advance. There is only one official ticket office for bell tower tickets and so you want the website with basilicasanmarco.skiperformance in the web address. I also highly recommend you do this in advance as it took us 45 minutes trying to do this there and then & the website kept crashing or took an age to buffer on account of the number of people trying to do the same thing in the same location. When we moved away from the area the website loaded more easily. They are the best views of Venice for sure and cost €15 per adult with cheaper prices for children.

The ticket system can be a little overwhelming, but once you get them, you will wait some time in queue for the lift. We had tickets for 18:00 - 18:30, the sunset was at 18:08 and we entered queue around 17:57 and got up after 18:14, the sun was already set but still was beautiful. The views you get up There is like nothing else provided in Venezia. You can see almost all of it, if you are here i definitely recomend giving these views a go.

Definitely worth to visit the tower. Great view from the top for every side of Venice. The lift takes you up and then down again. Recommend to buy tickets in advance as it might be busy. Also entrance might be flooded during high tide so be prepared with shoes covers.

The Campanile is the main landmark in Piazza San Marco and a must-do visit in Venice! The ascent is super easy, done entirely by elevator, and you only pay the entrance ticket (no extra fees for the elevator). ​The experience is a pure lookout point: there are no rooms or exhibitions up there, but the reward is the most spectacular 360-degree view of the city. *** Tip: Go up in the afternoon! Often, the morning fog covers the tower and can hinder the view. In the afternoon, visibility is usually perfect, offering the best perspective.

This allows you to have a look around Venice from above. You reach the top of the Campanile with an elevator and once on the top you can move around (literally) the balcony (closed with a metal net for security reasons. You are able to spot the points of interest all around and there’s a map in front of every “window” to help you understand what you’re looking at. The visit can really take 30 minutes if you’re not wishing to spend much time looking at the view. You will likely need to queue for the elevator both up and down, even if you have a timed ticket. Talking of which, it would be much better to buy that in advance to select the slot which suits you best. You can do so directly on the official website, where you have to create an account. You will receive digital tickets, no need to print. You don’t need a guide for this tour, as it is literally just a sightseeing.

St. Mark’s Basilica is one of the most breathtaking and iconic landmarks in Venice truly a masterpiece of architecture and history. The moment you step into Piazza San Marco and see the golden domes and intricate mosaics shining in the sunlight, it feels absolutely magical. Inside, the basilica is stunning beyond words. The golden mosaics that cover the ceilings and walls are extraordinary, telling biblical stories in incredible detail and color. The marble floors, arches, and artwork all reflect centuries of Venetian glory and devotion. Every corner feels sacred and timeless. The view from the terrace is also unforgettable you can see the whole square, the Doge’s Palace, and the sparkling lagoon beyond. It’s one of the best spots to take photos and admire the beauty of Venice from above. Visiting St. Mark’s Basilica is a must for anyone coming to Venice. It’s not just a church it’s a living piece of art and history that leaves you amazed and inspired.

Wow. First look was across the square - what a magnificent place. Loved listening to Rick Steeves podcast about the square and outside of the church. So many intricacies and unique bits. Then we were a part of a mass in the side chapel- so lovely. Came back later that day for the whole tour (again with RS!) amazing history, architecture, heaving floor & art! Did the whole deal with Pala d’oro and Loggia and glad I did. So cool to get up close to the horses, the mosaics, the view from up top. I bought tickets the same day but that saved me some waiting time.

The Saint Mark’s Basilica is one of the most beautiful Catholic churches I have ever visited. The basilica blends perfectly with the surrounding Saint Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace, creating a breathtaking historical setting. The main altar is truly a jewel—absolutely astonishing in its detail and craftsmanship. On the second floor, the four Greek horses are remarkable pieces of art and history. I highly recommend visiting this magnificent church with a guided tour to fully appreciate its rich background and hidden details.

St. Mark’s Basilica – Venice We had tickets for the basilica but mixed up the date due to the time difference coming from the U.S.—we were supposed to visit on the 3rd at 3:00 PM, and only realized that day that our reservation was actually for the 4th which is the following day. We arrived very early in the morning of the 4th when it opened. There was an event in the piazza so there was no line at all, and we explained that we had to catch a train later that afternoon. Despite the empty entryway and our situation, we were denied entry and told to return at the exact reservation time. We respect that there are rules and timed tickets exist for crowd control, but it was disappointing that there was zero flexibility, especially when the basilica was not crowded and accommodating two visitors would not have impacted operations. The basilica itself is extraordinary, and MAYBE we’ll try again next time—but travelers should know that the staff take reservation times very strictly, even when the site is relatively quiet.

The Basilica di San Marco is really impressive. It offers incredible details and beautiful art. It is usually sold out for the next 2 days, so I recommend purchasing tickets in advance. On the official website you can buy it with an entry time, so you don’t have to queue outside. Once inside, you can also buy tickets for some additional areas of the Basilica, directly through a QR code that is placed right in front of the area you want to visit. If you wish to get an audio guide, you can rent one once inside, just after the access, but you will need your own earphones (which currently need a mini jack to be connected to the device), if you don’t have it, you can still hear it placing the device on your ear. This is available in several languages and it will be necessary if you want to know what you’re looking at in the Basilica. Depending on how long you want to stay inside, you may be able to see it all in 30-60 minutes, differently from the Palazzo Ducale which takes much longer. Have fun!

There are no words that do justice to describing this Basilica. It dazzles you with something spectacular, then trumps itself with the next tings. From the greatest marble floors in the world to arguably the greatest golden Byzantine wall and ceiling mosaics in the world. The gold glimmers in the light and tells the story of the bible in the vivid detail that the height of Byzantine art manages better than anyone else. Do not miss the Pala d’oro, a golden altarpiece that is worth every penny. Do not miss the museum, whose collection is better than most national collections. Not least because the famous four horses from the Hippdrome in Constantinople are there. The greatest piece of ancient art in the world still with us. They mesmerise. They look and feel real. Then there is the views of the square from the balcony…

St. Mark’s Basilica is regarded as the most important landmark in Venice. It is located at the heart of Piazza San Marco, adjacent to the Doge’s Palace, and serves as one of the finest examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in Europe. The first church on this site was constructed between 829 and 836 AD to house the relics of St. Mark the Evangelist, whose remains were taken from Alexandria, Egypt, and brought to Venice in the 9th century. The present structure, replacing the earlier church, was built between 1063 and 1094. The basilica reflects a fascinating blend of Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic architectural styles. Its domes, mosaics, marble decorations, and opulent interior are strongly reminiscent of Hagia Sophia and other Byzantine churches, underlining the cultural and artistic exchange between East and West. In addition to its religious role as a reliquary for St. Mark’s remains, the basilica also became a repository for treasures acquired during the Crusades. Following the Fourth Crusade and the Latin sack of Constantinople in 1204, numerous artworks and relics were brought to Venice and placed in St. Mark’s Basilica. Among the most famous of these are the four bronze horses originally from the Hippodrome of Constantinople, the Portrait of the Four Tetrarchs, and fragments such as the head of a statue of Emperor Justinian. These artifacts highlight the basilica’s historical role not only as a religious center but also as a symbol of Venetian wealth and power. The Crusades themselves were military campaigns organized initially to defend Byzantine territories and reclaim the Holy Land following the advance of Turkish and Islamic powers. The Seljuk Empire, the Ottoman beyliks that later formed the Ottoman Empire, and the Ayyubid Sultanate were among the key states against which the Crusades were directed. On the Christian side, the Byzantine Empire, the Papal States, the Republic of Venice, the Republic of Genoa, the Kingdom of Naples, as well as monarchies such as France and England, played significant roles in these campaigns.

This palace is beautiful and full of history and artwork. I recommend buying tickets ahead of time and giving yourself at least two hours to explore. I recommend getting a tour guide to learn more about the history of the palace. The café was also nice and not too expensive. It’s a must see when in Venice.

The Doge’s Palace in Venice is one of the city’s true highlights. The architecture is stunning, and the frescoes that adorn the walls are absolutely breathtaking — a masterpiece of art that can only be rivaled by those in the Vatican. The entire building exudes history and power, making it easy to imagine the grandeur of Venice’s past. I highly recommend visiting this remarkable landmark.

You have to get tickets online so you'll save time, not waiting to buy tickets. This palace is gorgeous, you will need more than an hour to see everything. This place is huge, there is a lot of photos opportunity. They have a impressive selection of fancy rooms. The ceiling is full of art, with golden details. Take time to learn about the history of this place. They have tour guides here as well, in case you want to learn more in detail. Give yourself about 2 hours here.

A must-see in Venice! The Doge’s Palace is absolutely breathtaking — filled with history, incredible art, and ornate architecture that captures the essence of Venice’s power and beauty. We visited around 5 PM, and it wasn’t busy at all, which made it even more enjoyable to explore at our own pace. Highly recommend booking tickets in advance to skip any lines and ensure your preferred time. Walking across the Bridge of Sighs and seeing the view from both sides was unforgettable. Truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Book ahead of time and the queue isn't TOTALLY awful. Impressive selection of fancy rooms with big paintings in them. Have fun spotting which doge looks the most like Santa! Surprised the gift shop doesn't do Doge Top Trumps, this would sell (if palazzo ducale are listening). Also top tip: at some point in the tour you get to the prison cells and you have the option to take the short route or the 'complete tour'. The complete tour is just LOTS MORE PRISON CELLS. Only take if you really enjoy empty stone rooms and stairs!

We booked a tour via get your guide (crown tours). The tour guide we had was passionate and her English was really easy to understand. We learnt so much. We chose the balcony tour and that was excellent and not too crowded. Got so much more out of your than I expected. Be warned plan to get there earlier than your time slot, I saw a couple who were late and missed there toyr and as other tours were full could not join the next one.

Oh my gracious what an incredible palace!! 686 years old. Do a tour! We did with skip the line passes. Hearing the history is needed to understand the meaning of so much of this palace. It is ginormous. I could walk around and stare at all the artwork and art, the exhibits, the prisons! Crazy to think prisoners as recently as 1920 were still being held here. The sheer wealth ugh

If you get the chance to go there, don't hesitate. 👏👏👏 Awesome place, no doubt about it! ... Bungee-jumping is a thril! 🤙

I love it so much! The best place to spend a day with your family. 🤩

It makes you feel like you are really on a Caribbean island. Beautiful place with so much fun.

Great way to spend the day with family.

Cool

Beautiful place !

(Translated by Google) I've been going there for a few years now: it's a well-established entertainment machine, the important thing is to go there on a hot day and fun is guaranteed for every age group. Possibility of packed lunch in the various internal gardens or in the tent, but various catering points are available. Numerous staff are at your disposal, also to safeguard order and safety in the water. Those who don't want to be in the water can laze under the shade of a palm tree with their feet on the fine white sand, with the illusion of really being in the Caribbean. (Original) Ci vado ormai da alcuni anni: è una macchina del divertimento ben rodata, l'importante è capitarci in una giornata calda ed il divertimento è assicurato per ogni fascia di età. Possibilità di pranzo al sacco nei vari giardini interni o nel tendone, ma sono disponibili diversi punti di ristorazione. Numerosi ragazzi dello staff sono a vostra disposizione, anche per salvaguardare l'ordine e la sicurezza in acqua. Chi non vuole stare in acqua può poltrire sotto l'ombra di una palma con i piedi sulla finissima sabbia bianca, con l'illusione di essere davvero ai Caraibi.

Very beautiful lake, mountain scenery and town with restaurants and promenade. Lake may be drained in winter.

Beautiful spot to spend the day. The lake of Barcis is surrounded by beautiful mountains that make the scenery just magic. When the water is high (and it's important to keep in mind that this is a semi-artificial lake and sometimes it might not be full, as in the first pictures), the landscape becomes a perfect mix of turquoise waters and green woods. There is plenty of things to do: taking a walk around the old town of Barcis, walking across it's bridge, visiting the old road + the Tibetan bridge (this has a cost of 3€/person + 3€/person if you want to do the bridge), take a walk around Sentiero del Dint and see the lake from different perspectives (this is free and my favourite), etc. Highly recommended!

Nice little lake tucked in the mountains. We took bread and fed the birds, had a pick nick and then explored. Went around the lake multiple times. Water was down but lots of construction in the area. It was great for a nice relaxing afternoon away from the towns.

Beautiful Lake! Areas for families to bbq and children to play. Hiking 🥾 trails and shallow areas for children to swim.

Must visit if in area. But tourist train ride and hike in Cellina gorge is closed on weekdays till july.

Fantastically beautiful! Blue green seren water set against a backdrop of old layered mountains. Crisp cool mountain air even in the summer. You can never go wrong with going to Barcis for a respite from life.

Nice area, great mountain scenery, good for short hikes, but also for longer ones. The lake is not natural but the result of a dam (just in case you expect a "real" lake).

Nice place. beautiful aquarium,but small and small fishes. Good for kids. After pay you can go away and return back in one day. Free parking in front of sea life and underground.

First problem was parking as it was after the rain and the shopping place was overcrowded. Took about 30 minutes. Se spend another 30 mins in queue cause you need to print online tickets. On site, they provide family tickets which you cannot buy online. The place inside is nice, but not with tons of people so you cannot even move. Add another star if you are here (almost) alone.

I do not really recommend the aquarium for an adult couple. In my opinion it isn't worth the money because it is quite small and you will be at the end after 20 minutes if you don't sit down and take some time to watch the fishes or read the boards. The space for the audience during the feeding show is not big enough. Anyway you get some interesting information and with kids you can probably spent a great time in here.

Good place to see with kids. Not very big, so could be cheaper. Our kids enjoyed the visit a lot, especially the quiz.

Really nice place to spend an hour or two. There’s a good variety of fish and a nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and I even saw some of them explaining different exhibits to other visitors. It has free parking if you’re traveling by car but it’s also conveniently located if you’re staying in the area. Everyone really enjoyed our time there. The main drawback was not being able to use a stroller inside. I understand why but it’s a bit of an inconvenience for families. They offered us a sling but my daughter was just over the weight limit. Just something to keep in mind for families with young children. It’s also a bit on the pricey side (unless you find a deal online) when you compare it to other Sealife aquariums (or other aquariums for that matter) for what’s there. However, it’s kinda to be expected and I wasn’t disappointed on our visit.

Nice place to change atmosphere on the holidays. Sharks, fish, meduze sea horses are good to see close to you. It is a bit smaller than in Budapest.

Great place for an educational field trip. especially for kids 2 to 12.

Beautiful palace hidden in local area. Visit after lunch in San Daniele for world famous prosciutto. Restore nicely and taking very good care of. Beautiful ceilings and wood doors. The only down side is almost everything in Italian although I tried with audio scripts in English there is much less information than my husband gets in Italian and also some of them are no description as well even in Italian. I was very curious to an object in church, which contain looks like born or something. My husband is from local and he said he never see inside when he was small. So hope to get more attention from people and they can keep it for future. All the staff are very nice and helpful.

My second visit since 2022, glorious as ever. The festival covers a wide range of stalls with great artisan products and incredible collection of plants. We bought a camelia that blossoms through the winter which is unbelievable almost and a fancy variety of cosmos. Can’t wait to plant them already!

A gem worth visiting when in FVG. Villa is “empty” of any original furniture, but hosta many exhibitions. It is free to visit the outside premises and the park behind the villa, where you can find serenity.

I already been here for two concerts. It is amazing, very intimate vibe. Entering a concert here is as easy as it gets. Before you know it, you are already in front of the stage. Be aware, parking can be a bit chaotic, so if you are not from around, I recommend you paying for parking (15 eur approx). I recommend booking parking 5, as getting to it is a lot less chaotic than 3 and 4. Still be there on time, you never know. From any parking, you will have a good 15/20 mins walk to the venue, so allow yourself time. From parking 5, the walk is very nice. Locals place small bier gardens on their gardens so you can have a stop before or after the concert You walk in slowly into the villa and right before you know it, you are there with you fav artist. Enjoy it

We visited the Villa garden while being on a concert and it was a very nice Italian place.

Beautiful villa, and garden behind it. Very easy to find, good parking. Nice visitors center and shop. No dogs allowed in the garden area, but allowed in front of the villa in the open area. Lots of beautiful flowers and statues. Very peaceful area.

At the concerts those that just parked in the field were better off than those of us that paid for the parking. If you want own water, you better have a backpack with bladder. Otherwise beer is not expensive.

This zoo is a great place to spend the day and offers a wide variety of animals to see, including capybaras, giraffes, tigers, pumas, and lions. The enclosures are nicely designed, and it’s clear that the animals are well cared for. The layout is easy to follow, so walking around is simple and enjoyable. One of the nice touches is the small bar where you can grab a cold drink or a snack like a sandwich perfect if you need a break. You can also bring your own food and enjoy it at one of the picnic tables, which is really convenient. Overall, it’s a fun and relaxing place to visit, whether you're going with friends, family, or just looking to enjoy a few hours surrounded by animals and nature. Highly recommended if you're looking for a well-kept zoo with a good atmosphere.

Very clean, beautiful zoo. We were in the park for 5 hours. The only downside is no free water fountains (or at least not that we're aware), we paid 80 cent for a liter at a refill station. Other than that animals were out and about and we saw 90% of them very clearly, even the famous snow leopard.

Small but nice zoo with quite many spieces on small territory. Some animals were hidden. Clean toilets, many opportunities to have a rest a many places for children. Nice time to spend when weather doesnt allow visiting the beach.

Well organised park,easy to get around,clean. It's accessible also for strollers and for people in wheelchair. It was thought through. Lots of trees that offer shade and 2 pretty big playgrounds for kids. Animals are well taken care of. The bathrooms are all clean, changing table for babies is also available. The parking is free 100m from the entrance. We enjoyed our day,it was during the week so we were almost alone. The only negative thing is the entrance fee. I believe it really is too expensive. We will come back because it's a great experience and well spent day..

One of the nicest Zoo I ever visited. Animals looked well taken care of and whole Zoo seems well maintained. There are also 2 nice playgrounds for kids. Would recommend for all families.

Nothing special, no big cats to see, we managed to see a tiger briefly, cleanliness for a 10, I recommend it for children from 3 to 6.7 years old, older ones will be bored

Very nice for kids and adults. Zoo is well organised and you should reserve like 3-4h for a visit.

Very nice kids park with many different attractions for different ages. Entry is free but each attraction costs at least one coin and one coin is at least 1-3 euros, depending on how many you buy at once. You can also buy a whole day ticket but it is also expensive for the whole family. One attraction is around 3-5 minutes long. But all looked nice, but the octopus was really dirty

I recently visited Parco Junior with my daughter—actually, we went twice! We rode every ride and played every single game they had to offer. It was such a fun experience. The park itself is clean, cozy, and beautifully maintained, with convenient bathrooms and all the essentials you’d hope for. We had a truly wonderful time together and made some great memories. That said, I do wish they offered more games and attractions. A few of them were closed during our visits, which was a little disappointing. Maybe it’s because the season is winding down—it was September after all. Still, having more rides and open venues would have made the experience even better. Overall, Parco Jr. is a charming little park that gave us a delightful day out. We had so much fun and truly enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend it for families, and I hope to see even more activities available next season!

Great value for money, I'd recommend it rather for smaller kids (3-7) since the rides are not very intense. Do not buy coins buy the card for the whole day and ride anything you want so many times you want. No entry fee, opened from 10:30 am till 10 pm. Also we didn't have to wait at all

Very nice place for the whole family with smaller kids. Many atractions and fun. We were there 3 years in the row and we always enjoy our time in Parco Junior.

Great day trip event we were there already few times and it’s like a must have every time we visit Italy. Several attractions can be used and everything looks save and sound on it. Restaurant is on a good pricing and not to expensive. Whatever they do in the burger it’s very delicious. We never saw the animation show, but we saw the participants train their skills in the park walking thru the crowd and I think it’s also good for the little ones.

The park is really great for younger kids. All the machines are made so that younger kids can also ride them so they were perfect for our 2 and 4 year old kids. The parking is also free if you validate your card at the ticket desk .

Great place for our 6-year-old son for about 2 hours. We bought 13 coins for €26. One attraction is 1 coin. Our son tried all the attractions alone. 1 negative point: the parking area was full although there were few people in the Park (11:30-1:30). Clearly it is allowed for anyone to leave their car in their own parking lot, the attendant does not care. Also there is a height limit, a car with roof box cannot go in (the area is not covered, so we did not understand why there is such a limitation).

Cheerful stuff, magnificent views and most of all a wide variety of insect species and much more. Butterflies are literally everywhere. There are even a few reptilians, fish and parrots.The whole place is filled with educative posters which aren't boring to read at all. And the best thing - it's completely wheelchair accessible!

Beautiful setup. Three different climactic areas where you can walk through and see various species of butterflies flying freely amid beautiful vegetation. Different lizards and insects are also featured in class display cases.

Large butterfly house, divided into three areas plus informative exhibition and shop. Reasonably priced and the ticket is valid for all day, so you can come in and go out again. We spent a few hours here and also are in the cafe next door. Highly recommended, would also suggest walking around the village to see the wonderful murals.

Great House filled with butterflies, Moths, and more animals! Super cool experience for the family. Staff was friendly and pointed us in the right direction, saw a freshly born Moth, and got a cute Plushie as a souvenier. Definitely a recommendation for insect-lovers and for families looking for a nice experience!

Great place to visit, very educational. Three zones with living, flying butterflies all around from all over the world. I strongly encourage visiting with children for a couple of hours. Nice collection of all kinds of shiny bugs and other insects. Will be back.

Amazing. The place to be when you love butterflies.

Always fun to visit places like these! Entrance fee is €12, and the parking is free but limited amount of spaces. When you first enter you will walk through a small "museum" with information about butterflies. Then there will be 3 different environments with butterflies 🦋 There are also other cool insects here, and beautiful plants. This place is perfect for kids and those who are interested in this kind of stuff

(Translated by Google) My partner and I booked a visit to a single house. When making the appointment I specified that it was our intention to make the offer at the same time as the visit. After a presentation of the property which seemed to us without too much interest (yes or no 15') we asked for a couple of minutes to talk to each other, just in time to see another couple arrive and there we were dismissed with a " in case we talk, I have to go and welcome the other couple." Not even 20 minutes had passed since our arrival. He didn't ask if we wanted to make the offer (even though he knew it), he didn't ask if we had any other properties to sell (which we both do), he didn't even ask if we needed the mortgage. Terrible experience, 0 customer attention, 0 professionalism. Agency not recommended. (Original) Io ed il mio compagno abbiamo prenotato la visita di una villetta singola. Al momento della presa appuntamento ho specificato che era nostra intenzione fare l'offerta contestualmente alla visita. Dopo una presentazione dell'immobile che ci è parsa senza troppo interesse (si e no 15') abbiamo chiesto un paio di minuti per parlare tra di noi, giusto in tempo per vedere arrivare un'altra coppia e lì siamo stati liquidati con un "in caso ci sentiamo, devo andare ad accogliere l'altra coppia". Non erano passati nemmeno 20' dal nostro arrivo. Non ha chiesto se volevamo fare l'offerta (nonostante lo sapesse), non ha chiesto se avevamo altre proprietà da vendere (cosa che entrambi abbiamo), non ha chiesto nemmeno se avevamo bisogno del mutuo. Pessima esperienza, attenzione al cliente 0, professionalità 0. Agenzia sconsigliata.

Great shopping place, there is always something to buy there.

This shopping center is a great place for anyone who enjoys fashion and a good shopping experience. It offers a wide selection of clothing stores, from popular brands to more unique boutiques, so there’s something for everyone. The layout is clean and modern, and it's easy to find what you're looking for. In addition to shopping, the center also has a few really good restaurants where you can relax and enjoy a meal or a coffee. Whether you're looking for something quick or a more relaxed dining experience, you'll find a nice variety of options. Overall, it's a great spot to spend a few hours – shop, eat, and enjoy.

Besides being an outdoor outlet I loved the fact that you can take your dog inside the stores

Don’t plan to come here unless you have a car, otherwise it’s really far away and you will have to walk on a highway or go through fields… There is also a little chance that you will find some good deals here, because the prices are not that affordable, pretty fancy if you ask me. If you are going on a sneaker hunt like myself, you are going to leave this place very disappointed because there is a very poor range of worthy models.

Most terrible parking situation… as italian you can park everywhere no matter how long or big (even with caravan using 5 spaces) but with a german minivan (not longer than a normal car) and not italian! the force you to drive to an extra parking far away from the outlet even though there is a lot of empty parking … they are super unfriendly so we left right a way they did the same to another not italian minivan even following us so we wouldnt try to park near the outlet….

I love this mall, it has Gap kids and adults, Tommy H, Calvin klein, and many Italian brands and other brands desigual, guess I recommend visiting during new year sale,has good deals from 50% off. only concern is the toilet you have to take paper toilet with you and sanitizer, but if you can avoid using it will be better.

Very nice outlet mall with mid-end brands so don’t bother to look for luxurious brands. The layout is nicely spread out and the architecture of the buildings makes you feel like you are walking streets of Murano! Wi-Fi was available but only after registration. Visited late in the afternoon and there were almost no people, so the shopping was quite enjoyable.

A cradle of our faith for my country. From here the misionary work went out to the east. Glorious holly place, with a lot of history, beautiful mosaics and old architecture. Cript is amazing with lot of relics.

One of the most important church seats in this part of Italy, also for Slovenia, Austria and Croatia. Basilica is build on the 1. century Roman mosaics, that were covered in 4. century by other level of mosaics. On top of those two layers of mosaics the present church was built. The Bell tower dated from 11. century. The three naval church has leather patriarchal seat. The crypt is full of frescos from life of Jesus and the life of saint Hermagoras and saint Fortunatus. You can admire early and fine early Christian mosaics. I liked the most the one with a turtle and the big one that represents sea with boats and sailers.

The Basilica of Aquileia is a treasure that everyone should visit. The mosaic floor is absolutely stunning, and the space around the Basilica is pleasant and relaxing. The frescoed crypt is also fantastic! Absolutely recommended when passing through the FVG region!

The Basilica is a beautiful piece of architecture. Majestic with a magnificent mosaic floor and ornate wooden roof. Also fantastic is the visit to the archaeological dig area below the Basilica where it is possible to see the early roman mosaic dating back to the first century a.d. The area surrounding the Basilica is also very interesting and kept in order.

Fascinating early Christian basilica. Floor mosaics back to the 5th C.

One of the most beautiful churches ever!

Italy is a country of historical beauties and this Cattedrale is undoubtedly one of them. As soon as one enters the building is immediately overwhelmed by history: the view of the soffit and of the floors, covered by mosaics, is truly breathtaking. When admiring this church you can “touch” the architectural, engineering and artistic ability of our ancestors: these treasures have withstood over a millennium (even more, when considering the original layers dating from B.C.). The building basement is a surprise of mosaics and there it’s really astonishing how, through small tiles, those artists were able to depict amazing subjects, such as animals, faces and various objects. Just a small suggestion: the descriptions of the mosaics made on the handrails, has it is done, is not a very clever solutions, since most of the writings have gone.

A beautiful square in Piran, with plenty of cafes, restaurants and cute shops around the square. A very large area where children can play safely with a view of the harbor and the sea and the surrounding historical buildings of the old town of Piran. The true spirit of a coastal town!

Gorgeous square, perfect to explore and enjoy the sunshine. Enjoy the cafes and restaurants or explore the cobbled picturesque streets.

Tartini Square (Slovene: Tartinijev trg) is the largest and main town square in Piran, Slovenia. It is named after the famous violinist and composer Giuseppe Tartini, who was born in Piran. The square is a vibrant pedestrian area, surrounded by historic buildings. It serves as a social and cultural hub of Piran, hosting concerts and events, with cafes, restaurants, and shops around its perimeter. The design provides scenic views of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding hills.

Lovely square with plenty of free parking for motorbikes. The harbour was also very beautiful, sadly in motorbike clothing and 40 degree heat, we didn't stay long but would love to revisit one-day.

Tartini's square in the City of Piran, Slovenia, is a beautiful example of Mediterranean city urban planning that nailed it. People of all ages enjoy spending time there. It is vibrant all day long. Great views - to the marina, the sea, surrounding buildings, monument of Tartini, shops, caffees and restaurants, a lot of benches to just sit and relax while you get amused just by looking at people of all ages doing their thing. It is a real jam for photographers and a great place to make a tone of different selfies.

I had the baklava ice cream and hands down it was the best ice cream I've ever tasted - my partner agreed and he is an ice cream fanatic! Highly recommend, amazing ice cream and lovely friendly service too.

Nothing special. A square with some caffees and restaurants. Okay view, so if you are around it's worth a visit, but I wouldnt travel there just for this purpose.

I brought five kids over two different weekdays: one a textbook perfect hot summer day, and the other cloudy, moody, and sprinkled with morning rain - the kind that scares off more than half of the bookings. And let me tell you, my dear friends: that rainy, "don’t go" day was the best one. Fewer crowds, zero lines, no elbow fights for floaties - just pure water-slide bliss. If you’re reading this trying to decide when to go, here's your tip: go when the clouds show up. Trust me. A little drizzle never hurt anyone (you’re wet anyway), and it might just give you the best day of your vacation. Now, spoiler alert: as an overgrown, oversized, and fully aged-up kid, I may have caused a few joyful physics experiments on the slides - the kind involving mass, acceleration, viscosity, and splash radius. You don’t need a science degree to understand it, but a little imagination helps. And no, I wasn’t the only adult re-living childhood at 40 km/h in a double tube. It was glorious. The place is stacked with attractions: high-speed slides, gentle splash zones, float rivers, inflatable madness, and "non-sliding" water features for lazy retirees. There’s something for everyone - whether you're five or fifty-five. You won’t need many words once you scroll through the photos and videos here. The smiles say it all. But something else deserves the five stars: the staff and management. Even though many of them are young, seasonal, probably not trained at hospitality schools, they are genuinely kind, helpful, present, and make everything feel smooth and safe. No forced smiles. Just good people making your day better. That counts. Now - kids don’t write reviews. And if they did, they wouldn’t care about the next bit. But if you’re still reading, wondering "Is it worth it?" - stop. It absolutely is. Book it. Pray for light rain A few gentle tips for the management (from the adult who pays for the tickets): Even though the food is decent, it feels like it’s not. A little love in presentation, a friendlier ordering process, and some signage showing where other food options are (without a scavenger hunt) would go a long way. And while the kids are here for splashing, I’m here for flavor. Give us something a little special too - maybe a grill corner, a salad bar with real forks, or just one item that says: Hey adult, we see you! Still - bravo. You’ve built something joyful. We’ll be back. Possibly wetter, possibly louder, definitely happier.

We visited Istralandija on a Tuesday in September during the off season and had a wonderful time. The park is very clean and offers a wide variety of water slides. Since it was a cloudy day and not peak season, there were very few people which made the experience even better. The slides include popular types such as rocket, free fall, and the more intense ones often called back breakers, along with fun rides that use float

We visited Istralandia with our two small children (4 years old and 4 months old). Unfortunately, a neighboring sun umbrella—left unattended—was blown over by the wind and hit my wife. One of its exposed metal rods broke loose and left a mark on her leg. Immediately after it happened, we called a nearby staff member for help, but he reacted angrily and pushed the umbrella about 20 cm aside with visible frustration on his face before walking away. Because of this, we asked to speak with the manager, Danijel Lucic. Unfortunately, his response was arrogant and dismissive. He said that “he can’t control the weather” and refused to replace the dangerous umbrella. Additionally, some umbrella bases appear to be too small, making the umbrellas unstable even in light wind. We noticed this happening with several other guests’ umbrellas as well. This kind of attitude and lack of preventive safety measures is unacceptable in a family-friendly water park. Safety should always come first—especially with so many small children around. We expected more responsibility and care from the management. Sadly, we’re disappointed with how the situation was handled.

Went on a grey afternoon & pretty much had park to ourselves! Kids were done in just over 2 hours! They loved it! But why charge €3 on top of the hefty entrance fee for parking, & then another €6 for a locker!!

Very nice water Park.clean area but dirty bathrooms.the Changing cabins outside were smelling strong Urin There was no waiting Que at the entry even though we were there on Sunday The food Price and variety was really Ok At the entry they Charge 9€ for bed and umbrella and 3€ for Parking which is absolutely unnecessary as the Parking is open for all and there is no Control if you have Ticket or no and same as Beds ,they were many beds Occupied without Ticket and no body was Controlling it . In total we had a great time and we will definitely visit again.

I visited a year later and I am changing to 5 stars. The food is still water park food, but new items and better quality. The park is really clean. The new grassed area is fantastic also. Bring towels and remember no cash. Excellent place to visit …………….. The water slides are great. The seating is average, lots of umbrellas that don’t work and generally not that well kept. The food is edible but best avoided. Bring a credit card as no cash can be used inside.

Nice for kids! There is a pirate-themed area for younger kids, a s well as pools. For older (higher ones) there are plenty of water chutes and slides. The food is of the average amusement park variety and quality. Picnic areas and gazebos are available, lots of shade on one side of the park

Very interesting cave that goes down 60 meters. Lots of stalagmites, stalactites, columns and other mineral formed cave features. The guide was very easy to understand and funny. The highlight was the human fish (Olm/aquatic salamander) at the bottom. I was able to get some great pictures of it. There is plenty of free parking and it was easy to get to from Rovinj by car. There is also a cave museum as part of the entry and a café for food and drinks. Highly recommend.

Small, but beautiful. If you're in the area, great opportunity to take some very nice photos and see proteus in person. The girl at the cash register was wonderful, going above and beyond to orchestrate our visit (2 adults with a big dog that couldn't enter) and the formation of groups so that we can go one after the other with no waiting time nor overlap, so one person was with the dog while the other was in the cave, and neither had to wait for too long. My guide (Ana) was embodiment of patience and calm, effortlessly switching between languages and answering all the extra questions. Lighting showcases the best of mineral formations (a lamp strategically placed behind one of "elephant's ears", for example, shows a streak of red pigment within the otherwise milky white mineral). Steep and wet, not good for people on wobbly legs. Temperature inside the first 3 or 4 rooms actually a bit higher than the advertised 14°C; on a hot day it felt refreshing rather than cold. Plenty of parking under the shade of trees and large covered sitting area. Bar right next to the cave entrance, serves good coffee and real homemade lemonade.

Very fascinating inside view of a very deep cave close to Poreč. The guide takes you deep down in the cave where you can even see an old. A blind axleottle like animal that lives only in the deep caves of this area.

Grotto Baredine is a cave full of stagmites and stalactites. To enter the cave you need to join a guided tour, so probably worth checking in advance for the times of tours in your preferred language. There are approximately 270 steps down into the cave as you move through each of the five chambers with your guide. The cave is pretty wide, but some of the steps/staircases are steep and wet so care should be taken. At the bottom of the cave live two olm salamanders. Worth visiting.

Great and funny guided tour, not too heavy, not exausting, especially in combination with old tractor exibition and other one, geological exibition at the same place. Super food and drink and souveneer offers, not expensive at all. Nice nature all around and some qnimals for kids too.

Nice cave. Not the biggest one but worth visiting. The queue for the tickets can be 30 mins long and then you can wait 2h before you go inside, but they give you exact time. You can visit tractor museum in the mean time.

Nice but nothing special. There should be a age restriction as small children aren't really capable of walking all the stairs up and down

Fascinating world war one history of the Italian (Isonzo/ Soča river) front. Had no idea this peaceful area had such a bloody history. Well worth a visit if you're interested in history.

Wonderful exhibitions and information about World War I. We learned a lot about the war and the experiences of locals. Well done and thank you to Elka for her help and knowledge.

Recommend if you are interested in war history. The museum has a lot of images from WWI and tells the story of the battles that took place in the mountains of Slovenia. Very interesting and worthwhile.

Great, informative experience about WW1. Most importantly, the tour guide was passionate and knowledgable — do watch the show on the top floor where it shows (by topography and overhead lighting) the changes in territory during the first world war.

Lots of artifacts... Maybe too many packed together. Tough to spend enough time without other folks pushing you along. Excellent exhibit on prisoners of war.

Fascinating and well-presented museum. Also, the lady on the desk gave us a brilliant, impromptu history of Kobarid, its people and the rest of Slovenia through the 20th century, incorporating details from her own family. We're really glad we went and highly recommend it.

One of the most beautiful museums dedicated to World War I. Every part of the museum is translated into 4 languages, Italian English German and Slovenian. There are also guides explaining all the different sections of the museum. It is really worth a visit.

Incredible natural beauty! The bridge over the water was breathtaking. Hike was fairly easy to do with kids. We also enjoyed the little drink station you can donate money and take a cold beverage. They also had bee boxes which were fun since I have kept bees in the past. So that was exciting.

Very beautiful with lots of places to stop and touch the water. You can go down to the river itself but it is not an easy descent. The whole path is not accessible and it is not a very easy walk but it is very peaceful and beautiful. Entrance fee is only at the last leg of the walk.

Very beautiful short walk to nice water fall. Even it is goog for small children, elders. We live in villach and waterfall from villach, austria is 1.30hiurs drive via tarvisio. Take care if it rains..whe approaching waterfall area there are small bridge, take care wge going up and down.. enjoy as we enioyed with my friends and family

It’s a must if you are in Slovenia! There is a huge parking lot - you have to pay via app the parking. Then you have an easy 20min walk to the waterfall that seems to be like out of this world! Truly worth the walk and drive there.

In Kobarid there is a paid car park (the first hour is free and the rest is reasonable) you have 15 minutes to Napoleon Bridge. In pick times, you should go in early (we arrived at 10 and had no problem). Otherwise there is a huge car park (Kobarid Fall). Make sure you download the app Easy Park in advance or bring cash. The route is very nice and the waterfall costs 5e per adult. There is a family fare. The river is absolutely beautiful but the waterfall is out of this world. You can continue the route and do the long historical trail but it's a bit steep and in total 7km long. In the route you can also see the trenches and a wooden bridge. If you are coming from Ljubljana we recommend getting the highway to Nova Gorica and then the 103 and 102. This path is less curvy than other roads.

Absolutely beautiful place and well worth the hike to it. We went to see Slovenia’s largest waterfall the day before (Slap Boka) but it’s such a disappointment (when there isn’t much water) compared to the Slap Kozjak. The final view point is from a wooden area, all well done. Some steps might be a bit wet but there’s usually a metal line to hold onto. There’s an entrance fee of 5 Euro which is well spent.

Nice experience. The official parking is about 20 min away. But the trail to waterfall reveals beautiful Soča river so no boring moments. As per May 2025, the wooden bridge was closed. But new wooden beams were already stacked near by which make me conclude that it will be reopen soon. The entrance fee is decent 5 EUR. The walk from entrance to waterfall is 5-10 min. The one issue is end of trail because the visitors need to come back the same way. The platform near the waterfall is quite small and the passage is very narrow and only 1 person can go through. In our case, a lady stopped in the passage and took pics for a long time. Would suggest to management to put signs in that spot. Other than that, great place!

A must see if you visit Gorizia. It was very damaged during the war but they made amazing job. Inside is very good museum, I recomend you get a tablet at the ticket office for virtual guidance. The mideval kitchen is very well preserved. Unfortunatelly the second floor is under reconstruction so we left it for next time.

Wonderful castle dating back to the 12th century. The history of the castle is very interesting, as it changed hands numerous times during the ages, with each owner leaving their own mark. Visited during a rainy day which only added to the atmosphere of the place. There are numerous interesting exhibits, including weapons and musical instruments. The great hall hosts a multimedia presentation on the history of the castle and the surrounding lands. The price of a ticket was 10€ per adult, with tickets for children and senior citizens costing less. The price of admission was well worth it, as the ticket office will also provide tablets on request which will enhance the experience with interesting tidbits of information. This is a must see!

Views are fantastic. We weren't able to go in but the small village adjacent has a church and museum that are very nice to see from the outside. There a several spots you can walk around to see the cityscape. Loved it even without entry.

Good and much needed renovations make it worth the visit. The audioguide wasn't working very well but is included in the price (maybe we got a defected one). Overall very well done and exhaustive.

Nice to spend 1 to 2 hours. Audio info at some spots is available in Italian, Slovenian, German and English.

Lovely old castle. Part being repaired bur with visiting

It is really nice castle, and there is modern audiovisual experiences to move you in the past. So it is definitely worth to visit while in this city. Part of castle is under restoration, so observation deck isn’t available right now. Ticket is 10€🥲

There are places that impress you, and then there are places that touch you. Piazza Unità d’Italia is the heart and soul of Trieste – a square that doesn’t just stand still in time, but breathes with the history, pride, and elegance of generations. Facing the Adriatic Sea, this square is both open and monumental – a rare balance of grandeur and intimacy. Surrounded by magnificent buildings and kissed by the sea breeze, it’s a place where you instantly feel present and small in the most beautiful way. By day, it shines with architectural harmony and calm Mediterranean charm. By night, it transforms into something almost poetic – glowing lights, reflections on the water, and an atmosphere that makes you slow down and simply absorb the moment. Being here with my family felt like stepping into a painting. It’s not just a place to visit – it’s a place

The square looks impressive, the buildings around it architectural masterpieces. However, I didn't get a sense of the scale and spaciousness of the square. My wife and I visited the square on the closing day of the annual regatta (Barcolana). The entire space was filled with decorations, advertising banners, and prefabricated stalls selling food and beer. It was very noisy, crowded everywhere, but fun.

A beautiful place!! A huge plus is that there weren't masses of tourists so the square was really clear. The view is immersive!! 🤩 All the buildings look amazing. 🌟

1 | Piazza Unità d’Italia is the largest square in Europe opening onto the sea, its area is over 12,000 m². 2 | The square is definitely worth a visit and can easily be combined with a walk to the pier. We were there on a summer evening when the illuminated town hall building dominated the scene. 3 | The square is lined with numerous restaurants and cafés where you can sit down and relax. What surprised me was that most grocery stores close as early as 9:00 PM.

It is a big flat old stone dock. Great to walk once or twice, be aware that there is no shade in the 37c sun and little room to sit. It was enjoyable to see the Adriatic sea and look at any big ships docked but nothing else.

A beautiful big square facing the Adriatic Sea with 3 impressive palace buildings and a fountain. This is the seat of the local government for the city and the region. The square is used for concerts and parades and large civic events. Many famous music artists have played here including Green Day, Duran Duran, Carlos Santana, Iron Maiden, Garbage, Mike and Snoop Dogg

Trieste’s Unity of Italy Square is one of the most beautiful squares in Europe — a grand open space facing the Adriatic Sea. The view is breathtaking, especially at sunset. It’s home to some elegant cafés, including a very famous one, though the prices match the view :)

This cathedral, perched atop the original Roman settlement, fuses two older churches into an architectural statement that commands attention—think Romanesque grit, Gothic form, and Byzantine mosaic finesse, all with zero entrance fee. Throw in panoramic city views and ancient ruins at your feet, and you've got yourself a monument that’s strategically placed.

Beautiful church with a lot of history! The interior is quite stunning and definitely worth visiting. I attended a mass and there was a choir that sang so beautifully that you could literally feel the connection to God. I also went to look for a birth certificate of my grandfather and the priests and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Located on San Giusto Hill, a site with origins dating back to Roman times, the cathedral was built between 1302 and 1320 by combining two earlier structures. It features a blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles, with well-preserved Byzantine-style mosaics from the 12th–13th centuries. The bell tower, built atop 14th-century Roman remains, houses five bells.

Beautiful cathedral, next to Castle de San Giusto, worth a visit. No problem if you have mobility issue coz there's a lift from parking area and electric bus too.

It is always interesting when there is something unique in all these religious temples. Here you can see from the pictures that the dome has very interesting and not so common ornaments and design.

It was truly a beautiful and peaceful experience. The architecture is stunning, with intricate details that capture the rich history of the place. Inside, the atmosphere is incredibly serene, making it a perfect spot for reflection or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the space.

An exceptionally beautiful church. The natural light inside was truly inspiring. I highly recommend visiting 😊

It is a place of pain and sorrow. But it is necessary to remember. It is well kept and respectable. Needs better directional signage before entering.

A really good museum, telling the story from WW2 Nazi activities in Trieste. San Sabba Rice Mill was used by Nazi Germany to extinguish enemies and unwanted persons in the Nazi regiemes view. San Sabba Rice Mill contained a crematorium oven. Findings shows around 1000-4000 people can have need kolied at this site. Today the museum is telling the story from that time. The situation in the East Italian region in 1943-45. San Sabbatn Rice Mill is worth a visit. It can he seen as a mix of a museum and a memorial (church like) site where a certain dignity and silence provides good room for thoutghys and reflection of the crual stories in the original but gently rebuild site. The entrance is free. (Gratis)

Be prepared to bring handkerchiefs whit you because this place not will let your eyes stay dry. Free entry to the monument which guides you through the madness and horror of the nazi activity. There is a museum part and you can walk around I different parts of the former "police retention camp". Items, journals, weapons, testimonials and buildings remembers what can happen if madness prevails instead of common humanity. There is a monument of the former chimney of the crematorium.

Not a light experience, but I considered it as a must, visiting the nearby. Free entrance (I took audioguide for 3 Eur, but even without it, the museum provides enough information in Italian and English). This is part of history, not so long time ago.

An unexpected little gem. Another sad point of reflection on WW2, and how grim it must have been. It's not a very big museum and there is a lot of reading. For me the map of the transition locations across Germany shows the systematic scale of the operation that was being undertaken. In spite of being close to the town, people did not realise what was going on until late in the war. Entry is free, but a donation is welcome.

This is a less known, yet very important site to visit. A remarkable monument of an era that should not be forgotten. For 2 euros only you can buy an audio guide which I really recommend to do so, as otherwise you won't understand what to look at and you won't have all the background information. If you get there by car the most convenient is to park at the supermarket's parking lot nearby.

Interering place to visit but not much to see. A bit off the beaten track though easy to get to by bus. History is tragic and we hope it will not happen again. This is why it is important to visit such landmarks
