Observation deck
Outdoor Activities
The Diana Observation Tower, also known as the Dianaturm, is a 35-meter-tall tetragonal brick structure built in 1914. It offers breathtaking views of Karlovy Vary and its surroundings, with visibility extending up to 70 kilometers on clear days. Visitors can reach the tower by taking well-marked trails from the town center or enjoying a short funicular railway ride.
Diana Observation Tower is a great spot for panoramic views over Karlovy Vary. You can either hike up or take the funicular, which runs (at least in summer) every 15 minutes. Funicular is located right next to the Grandhotel Pupp. Once you reach the top, the tower is just a few steps away. There’s even an elevator inside, so you don’t need to climb the stairs—especially nice on a hot day. From the top, you get stunning views of the city and the surrounding forest. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town! 🗼
Cyntia P — Google review
Diana Observation Tower is a must-see attraction in Karlovy Vary! Not only does it offer stunning panoramic views of the city and surrounding forests, but the entire area is peaceful and beautifully maintained. After enjoying the scenery from the top, you can relax at one of the lovely cafés nearby — a perfect place to sip coffee, enjoy a snack, and take in the fresh mountain air. A truly delightful experience for nature lovers and travelers alike!

Well worth it. Take a lift or take a short walk. The view from the tower is absolutely fantastic. Expect heavy wind, take a jumper.

Beautiful observation tower with restaurant below and a mini zoo. You can ride the Diana funicular from Kolonáda directly to here. You can also hike the hill with 1.1 km moderate trail.
Fauzul R — Google review
The Diana Observation Tower is one of the most beautiful spots in Karlovy Vary! The view from the top is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the entire town surrounded by lush green hills. The ride up by funicular is scenic and relaxing, and there’s a lovely forest walk if you prefer hiking. The café near the tower is cozy and perfect for a short break. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Karlovy Vary!
Lyudmyla A — Google review
Beautiful 360 degree view of the region. There's also a small, budget-friendly kiosk selling street food and drinks in front of the tower. If you don't have any serious limitations, I suggest getting a one-way ticket. Take the funicular up and walk down while enjoying the view. Observation tower itself is free. You pay for the funicular.
M. M — Google review
Beautiful walk, you can also owe the monorail to go up and the tower has an elevator. I drank a beer at the restaurant down. And visited the butterflies museum!

Beautiful way to look at Karlovy Vary. Keep in mind that during fall/winter times fog is a quite often guest so you won't see much till around midday. Worth visiting, free and well-maintained observation point with a restaurant nearby

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
St. Peter Cathedral, a magnificent example of High Gothic architecture, stands proudly in the heart of Regensburg, dominating the skyline with its impressive bell towers. Originally constructed around 700 and later rebuilt in 1273 after a fire, this stunning cathedral is not only an architectural marvel but also home to the renowned Regensburger Domspatzen choir.
Amazing place to Visit. Such an incredible architectural work. But if you need to go inside, you have to see their religious activities time. Because at that time doors were closed to the visitors.every thing was fine and tremendous work and were well maintained to the future generation.
Kasun A — Google review
St. Peter’s Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. The Gothic architecture is stunning, with soaring spires, intricate stonework, and beautiful stained glass windows that create a peaceful, awe-inspiring atmosphere inside. It’s hard not to be impressed by the history and craftsmanship. Even if you’re not typically into churches, this one is worth the stop. It’s right in the heart of Regensburg, so very easy to visit while exploring the old town. Highly recommend taking a few quiet moments inside—truly a highlight of the city.
Todd R — Google review
Massive pure Gernan gothic church that was built from the end of the 13th to the beginning of the 16th century using the architecture of French cathedrals as an example. The inside is dark and has beautiful details like the silver altar. The stained glass windows from the 13th and 14th century are impressive and the most extensive, still preserved, collection of medieval stained glass in the German-speaking world. An interesting detail was a large waterwell with a hoist and bucket inside the church which was used as a secure source of water for the clergy, cathedral staff and cleaning.
Seimen B — Google review
The cathedral is truly impressive! A magnificent structure that’s hundreds of years old. I can’t even say whether I liked it more from the outside or the inside. Every day in summer, the organ plays at noon, it’s absolutely amazing! An architectural masterpiece that definitely deserves attention. The only downside is that the exterior has been under renovation for many years.
Boltomatis — Google review
Learned so much about German history from our Viking excursion to Regensburg Cathedral. Stepping into this medieval masterpiece, we were instantly awed by its towering Gothic architecture and the sheer scale of the place. The amazing stained glass windows, glowing with centuries-old craftsmanship, were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide wove fascinating tales about the cathedral’s medieval sculptures and its historical significance as a key center of Christianity in Europe, making the past feel alive and vibrant. The world’s largest hanging organ was a true marvel, suspended like something out of a dream, and its presence added to the cathedral’s awe-inspiring atmosphere. Learning about the Regensburg bishopric’s influence gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s role in shaping European history. This cathedral is a must-see for anyone visiting Regensburg—its beauty and stories will leave you speechless. Highly recommend making time for this incredible landmark!
Regis K — Google review
Great experience. Today was the 75 anniversary of Caritas and St. Josef Hospital celebrated with bishop Rudolf and former cathedral choir member (Regensburger Domspatzen). Usually the holy mass is starting on Sundays at 10 a.m. Be early enough there to get a place!

Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee, located on the Herreninsel in Chiemsee, was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria and modeled after Versailles. The palace, which began construction in 1878, is a grand homage to absolutist monarchy. Despite being intended as a residence for the king, he spent only 10 days there and was rarely seen. The palace's design reflects Ludwig's romantic obsessions and vivid imagination.
Absolutely stunning Castle built by King Ludwig II located on a beautiful island in Bavaria. The palace tour we took was amazing. Our tour was in English and our guide was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of the castle. She was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The castle rooms were spectacular. The two bedrooms are out of this world in terms of its decor. It is amazing that 2/3 of this castle are still not completed. King Ludwig barely stayed here before he died. The castle grounds are perfectly manicured. Several beautiful fountains. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The walk around the grounds was very peaceful. We took the train from the main train station and the boat across to the castle. We had a perfect day out and loved our visit. Highly recommend visiting this majestic castle.

Fabulous palace on an island in Lake Chiemsee. This is a great place to see the extravagance of Ludwig II. It offers a peak into his obsession with French royalty and his lavish tastes. The palace and gardens are fantastic. (No photos allowed inside, which is a bummer.)
Alex L — Google review
Magnificent, and rich interiors. If the king hadn't lived in his dream project for more than a handful days, so does it not deserve to be visited more than once in my life time. Palace guided Tour is about 40 minutes. No photography allowed strictly! This is what I didn't like the most. It's worth the hype and not worth the hype at the same time. Museum is also interesting visit

You have to buy entry Ticket to see the interior Palace with a guide. Taking picture inside of d palace it's not allowed, just outside it's possible. You have to pay extra when u need to go to the 🚻 & it was not cheap!
Rosa S — Google review
This is a really pretty palace and a great history lesson for people who don’t know much about kind Ludwig II. The palace itself is whacky and lavish and the gardens, fountains, and exterior are beautiful and scenic. The island has some great walking paths and is a fun outing. The boat there and back also has pretty views and runs fairly consistently. Keep in mind that the price of the boat and the palace entrance/tour are a separate price, the palace ticket does give you access to quite a bit though. The only reason it’s a 4 star review is that you can’t take pictures inside the palace which is a little disappointing but not a huge deal. Overall this is a great stop but does take some time.

A Must-See Spot in Munich! Marienplatz is such a lively and beautiful place — truly the heart of Munich! We loved walking through the square, surrounded by amazing old buildings, shops, and cafés. The highlight was definitely the Glockenspiel at the New Town Hall — the music, the moving figures, and the whole crowd watching together make it feel so special. It’s the perfect spot to sit back, people-watch, and take in the atmosphere. Everything in Munich seems to connect here — the energy, the history, and the charm of the city all in one place. If you’re visiting Munich, don’t miss Marienplatz, especially around noon when the Glockenspiel comes to life, arrive 15 minutes early to find the best spot. It’s such a fun and unforgettable experience!

My favorite place to stroll around, watch people, and just enjoy the city vibe. You can walk, shop, eat, and simply get lost in the charm of Munich. There’s something about this place — the mix of old buildings, lively atmosphere, and cozy corners — that makes me always end up staying longer than planned. If you’re in Munich, just come here with no plan. Let the city take you wherever it wants to. ✨
Ivy P — Google review
The city center of Munich is an absolutely stunning and lively area centered around the famed Marienplatz. Dominated by the magnificent Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), a Neo-Gothic architectural gem, the square's highlight is the famous Glockenspiel, which draws crowds daily to watch its mechanical figures perform. The area is a fantastic blend of history and modern life, with the towering Frauenkirche (Cathedral) just a short walk away, alongside the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the start of the main pedestrian shopping zones (like Kaufingerstraße). Whether you're sightseeing at the Residenz, shopping for luxury goods, or simply soaking up the authentic Bavarian atmosphere at a nearby Wirtshaus, the city center serves as the perfect, walkable hub for exploring all that Munich has to offer.

There was a lot of exhibits to see and it was nice to have listening stations throughout For English as well. There were some hands on experiences, I was hoping for some more and looking for something a bit more interactive. There was a very wide variety of things to see throughout a journey through history. Overall a nice experience.

It's a vast general museum, encompassing everything not covered in the art and antique museums. Currently half of it is under renovation, but the open part is big enough to keep you busy for a long time. I focused mainly on the air and space aspect, nice collection of vintage and more modern planes, some of the very first rockets including a V2, and a very nice floor on spaceships. I also enjoyed the section on coding. I checked out photography, printing and musical instruments before my time ran out. It was a solid 3 hours. Overall it is good, not necessarily a must-see if you are first time visitor to Munich pressed on time.

A wonderful place to visit with children. The museum offers a great experience, and the restaurant–café on the roof is definitely worth a stop. The river view at sunset is stunning — the sunlight shimmering on the water creates a beautiful scene. Don’t forget to check out the gift shop on your way out for some nice souvenirs.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich is an absolute gem for science and technology enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. With its vast collection spanning aviation, engineering, physics, and even music instruments, the museum brilliantly bridges education and entertainment. The interactive exhibits—like the giant pendulum, working machinery demonstrations, and flight simulators—make complex concepts accessible and fun for visitors of all ages. The detailed historical displays, including early automobiles and replicas of famous scientific experiments, provide fascinating insights into humanity's technological progress. While the sheer size of the museum can be overwhelming, its well-organized sections and engaging presentations ensure an enriching visit. Whether you're a curious traveler or a dedicated science buff, the Deutsches Museum delivers both knowledge and inspiration in a truly immersive way.

Wow what an amazing place! There was so much you could go everyday for weeks or more to see it all and drink in all the information accessible to you. We had the city pass so access was quick. Thank you from Canada. 🇨🇦

They had everything there. From engines to aircrafts, nuclear physics to spacecrafts, electronics, medicinal technologies, old and new cameras, receent semiconductor technologies, bridges, pendulums, fighter jets, agriculture and husbandry & whatever your cup of tea is. It is a great museum with literally any type of science in it. It is definitely a must go and you would regret it if you didn't.
Utkan P — Google review
Deutsches Museum is not just an exhibit hall: it is a journey through how human curiosity, experimentation, and engineering have shaped the world. If you love science or tech—or want to challenge yourself to understand how many things work (from steam engines to quantum bits), this museum will reward you. Even if you’re only casually interested, the famous pieces (Z3, mining, astronomy, transport, etc.) are enough to make a visit memorable. Highly recommend it, and plan your time well. Bonus: Every Monday few free tickets are also offered. Don't forget to see the beautiful skyline of city with Isar river.

Kloster Andechs

Mentioned on

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Andechs Monastery, also known as Kloster Andechs in German, is a hilltop Benedictine monastery and church that has been a center of pilgrimage for centuries. The monastery is renowned not only for its spiritual significance but also for its brewery, which produces some of the finest beer in Germany. Pilgrims flock to the monastery not just for prayer, but also to enjoy the famous beer served in the outdoor beer garden that can accommodate over 3,000 people.
An amazing place that blends Medieval atmosphere with traditional Bavarian feel. I deeply appreciated the chance to pay homage to the great composer Carl Orff. Unique brewery and wonderful food. Live music by highbrow Baverian orchestras. One of the ladies at the souvenir shop can be quite cranky though, if she needs to handle more than three. souvenir items at a time :)

The reception staff behind the Wallfahrtskirche were very helpful. I was able to obtain some Klein Geld for the Wohnmobilstellplatz here. They could however not explain why the Chapel of Sorrows and Carl Orff shrine were locked shut! Said it never closes! At least 20 people were disappointed.
Lyndhurst — Google review
Its a whole experience even getting here, including an hour or so hike, but so very worth it. Our hike was beautiful, fall colors everywhere. The pilgrimage church is stunning, the scenery in the Bavarian hills is breathtaking, and the beer is some of the best we had in Germany. If you're staying in Munich or the surrounding area, you should go.

Krimml Waterfalls

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Krimml Waterfalls, the tallest waterfall in Europe, cascades 380 meters down a forested mountainside and offers a picturesque walking path. The well-known waterfall trail provides stunning views of the rushing waters as visitors descend on the opposite side of the falls. Along this path, there are viewing balconies offering fantastic vantage points.
Worth visiting, and the entrance fee is not expensive (€9 for adults, half that for children). Although the trail is well maintained, I recommend wearing good sneakers and a waterproof jacket, as you will definitely get wet if you want to see the waterfall up close from the viewing terraces. It’s definitely worth going a few kilometers further to the mountain lodge, where they serve excellent food at reasonable prices.
Ivana V — Google review
The waterfalls were beautiful, but the hike itself is quite challenging, with only steep paths. Along the way there are several viewpoints where you can enjoy stunning views of the falls, but the view from the top was actually a bit disappointing. Reaching the top is more about the feeling of accomplishment than the view itself. It’s a very touristy spot, with several nice souvenir shops to browse.

A beautiful place worth visiting, suitable for young and old, but you should wear heavy clothes because the weather is cold. Although it was July, the weather was still quite cold, and I recommend wearing a waterproof jacket and comfortable athletic shoes.

One of the best activities to do in that area, the entrance was easy either by cash or card automatic machines, the hike is clean but not easy, the slopes are harsh in some places so better ready. Keep moving and you’ll find yourself in an ooen space with the sound of the waterfalls sit relax and enjoy

On our journey from Sell am See to Tirol we took the scenic mountain pass to stop off at Europe’s largest waterfall. Despite being height of summer season we could still easily park and make our way to the falls. The route is well made. No need for walking boots. We didn’t get all the way to the top - we stopped at about half way. Some great photos of the fall and the landscape.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Mountain cable car
Transportation
Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! The Nordkette Cable Car is like riding straight into a postcard. 🚡 You start right in the heart of Innsbruck, glide up on the Hungerburg funicular, hop on the Seegrubenbahn, and before you know it you’re soaring over alpine meadows and jagged peaks. The final stretch to Hafelekar feels like you’re being lifted to the edge of the sky — and the views at the top? Absolutely jaw-dropping. 🌍✨ The ride itself is smooth, the cabins are clean, and the staff are friendly. Pro tip: go on a clear day — you’ll see the whole city spread out below and snow-capped peaks stretching forever. Bring a camera and a jacket, because even in summer it’s chilly at the top! Whether you want to hike, snap a million photos, or just sip a drink with the most epic backdrop imaginable, this is a must-do in Innsbruck. Worth every cent and then some.
Ashley C — Google review
Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.

An excellent way to see the top of Innsbruck! The station is clean and well maintained, and the ticketing system was clear. This is the first station for the rail car, then there are two more cable cars to reach the top station. The entire journey takes maybe 30 minutes if you time it correctly.

Golden Roof

Historical landmark
Museums
The Golden Roof is a renowned Gothic oriel in Innsbruck, adorned with 2657 fire-gilt copper tiles that give it its name. Originally built for Emperor Maximilian and his wife to observe events below, it now houses a museum chronicling Innsbruck's history. The exterior is particularly impressive, featuring murals and intricate designs, while the museum offers an insightful look into the city's past.
The Goldenes Dachl or Golden Roof is a landmark structure located in the Old Town part of Innsbruck, Austria. It is a famous plaza of the city. This was completed in 1500 century. It was decorated with 2,000 plus copper tiles for the Emperor at that time. The Emperor and his wife used the balcony to observe festivals, tournaments, dancing, and other events that took place in the plaza below. Up to this day, the plaza is being used for basking, dancing, and events. It's us a nice walk around the plaza with the varieties of shops.

The golden roof of Innsbruck is a fun little thing to see and is in a beautiful part of the old town. There’s lots of good shopping and restaurants around here that make for a fun outing or a good walk from your hotel. It’s worth seeing this too since it’s an iconic part of Innsbruck.

The Golden Roof is Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, a late Gothic balcony built in 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles. It’s an impressive piece of history and a symbol of the city, though the small size can feel a bit underwhelming compared to its fame. Worth a look while wandering the Old Town, especially for the historical significance, but don’t expect a grand spectacle.

The Golden Roof is a landmark located in the old town. It is the most famous symbol of the city. The roof, completed in 1500, was decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza. The emperor and his wife watched various events from the balcony. Unfortunately, due to the height, it is not possible to see the details more clearly.
Bogdan M — Google review
The entry to the museum is free with the Innsbruck card. So I went in to take a look... It wasn't much. But provided some relief from the scorching sun. You have to go upstairs.
JY T — Google review
Each building on the street is so defined and colorful that you can almost miss this one with the golden roof built for the Emperor so he could view the street and tournaments. Nevertheless it’s gorgeous. There’s a small museum inside but I didn’t go in. There is so much to see on the street across from this Goldenes Dachl that you become distracted with the sheer art that these two streets are.

Pragser Wildsee, also known as Lake Braies, is a stunning alpine lake nestled in the South Tyrol region of Italy. Surrounded by majestic mountains, its turquoise-green waters create a picturesque reflection. The area offers climbing opportunities and is famous for its appearance in the Italian TV series 'Un passo dal Cielo.' Visitors can enjoy the historic hotel nearby and indulge in dining experiences while taking in the breathtaking views.
Lovely place to visit, beautiful water. Winter time is great to go to avoid large crowds, summer the lake is packed, you can best most of the crowd in the spring/summer months by going very early but shops will not be open.
Alex B — Google review
In my opinion, this is one of the top 3 landscapes to see in Italy. My partner and I walked around the lake, which is 3.8 km long. At times there were quite a lot of people, even forming small queues, but for most of the route we could walk at our own pace. Tip: if the mountain views at the starting point don’t seem that impressive, it’s better to walk around the lake clockwise rather than counterclockwise. This way, the most beautiful part of the scenery will be towards the end of the walk, and your photos will turn out better.
KOTKALLE O — Google review
Nice small lake and good views of the surrounding moutains. But in my opinion nothing out of the ordinary - its just a mountain lake and a very commercialised one. You can rent boats for 45min which will cost 55€ and parking is also 15€. The path around the lake is very crowded as well. I think there are more beautiful and especially more calm lakes in the dolomites that would be worth your time and money.
Joran B — Google review
Lago di Braies is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by majestic mountains looks like something out of a postcard. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful walk, a boat ride, or just relaxing and taking in the view. Every angle is stunning, especially in the early morning or at sunset. The air feels so fresh and calm—it’s pure magic. A must-see spot in the Dolomites that you’ll never forget!

Best lake in the Dolomites in Italy and a MUST visit. It is also referred to as 'The pearl of the Dolomites'.

Ski & Snowboard Areas
Located in the Austrian Tyrol, Stubai Glacier is a popular ski destination known as the 'Kingdom of Snow.' It offers a variety of trails for skiers and snowboarders, including challenging terrain like bowls and chutes. The highest point in the area is Zuckerhutl at 3,505 meters. Visitors can enjoy on-mountain dining and stunning views while skiing down one of Stubai's longest runs, which stretches over six miles.
We were very satisfied with our stay at this ski resort! The number of slopes and the variety of difficulty levels mean that everyone can find something for themselves – both beginners and more advanced skiers. The organization is top-notch, and the queues for the lifts are really short, which significantly improves the comfort of using the resort. A big plus is the free parking right next to the lift – we never had trouble finding a spot. The views are breathtaking!

Nice conditions in November 2025! This resort is one of the best in Tyrol, we like to come in autumn when ski resorts in Italy have no snow at all. If you are a freeskier or snowboarder, the Stubai Zoo snowpark is the place to be in autumn. Lots of riders and the level is very high. I recommend a visit! Of course, everything comes at a price :)

Stubaier Gletscher: A Glacier Adventure for the Whole Family We visited the Stubaier Gletscher in February during our ski vacation, and we were truly impressed by the stunning scenery and the variety of activities offered. As a family with two children (14 and 10 years old), we were looking for a destination that would cater to everyone's needs, and the Stubaier Gletscher proved to be the perfect choice. Pros: * Spectacular Scenery: The glacier offers breathtaking views, with snow-capped peaks and picturesque valleys. The kids were mesmerized by the beauty of the place and took countless photos. * Variety of Slopes: The ski area is extensive and diverse, with slopes for all skill levels. Both the children and us, the adults, found slopes that suited us perfectly. * Modern Lift Facilities: The cable cars and ski lifts are modern and fast, which significantly reduced waiting times. * Activities for Children: Stubaier Gletscher is an ideal place for families with children. There's a dedicated children's area with easy slopes and snow games. We also participated in a snowshoeing excursion, which was a memorable experience for everyone. * Snow Quality: Due to the high altitude, the snow quality is excellent, even at the end of the season. * Facilities: There are many restaurants and places where you can warm up and have a hot tea. * Proximity to Innsbruck: The glacier is located just a 45-minute drive from Innsbruck, making it easily accessible. Cons: * Crowds: During peak season, the slopes can get crowded, which can reduce the enjoyment of skiing. * Limited Challenging Slopes: Experienced skiers might find the selection of difficult slopes limited. * Altitude: The high altitude can cause health problems for some people, especially in the first few days. Recommendations for Families * Plan your vacation in advance and book accommodation and ski passes online to take advantage of discounts. * Check the weather forecast before you leave and prepare with appropriate clothing. * Consider renting ski equipment on site to avoid transporting it from Romania. * Take advantage of the activities offered for children, such as the dedicated children's area and snowshoeing excursions. * Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. * Make sure that you have travel medical insurance. Conclusion: Stubaier Gletscher is an excellent ski destination for families. The spectacular scenery, variety of slopes, and activities for children make this place an ideal choice for a memorable winter vacation.

The Stubai Glacier, located in the Austrian Tyrol, is one of the most reliable ski destinations in the Alps, known for its long season and excellent snow conditions. As Austria's largest glacier ski area, it offers skiing from October to June, making it a top choice for early and late-season skiing. With over 35 runs and 65 kilometers of slopes, the resort caters to all levels—from beginners to advanced skiers. The wide glacier pistes are perfect for carving, while off-piste opportunities and the Snowpark Stubai Zoo attract freeriders and freestyle enthusiasts. The lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, with the 3S Eisgratbahn gondola providing a fast and scenic ride up the mountain. Stubai is also family-friendly, offering a dedicated children's area and ski school. The views from the top, especially from the "Top of Tyrol" viewing platform at 3,210 meters, are breathtaking, stretching across the Alps. On-mountain dining is solid, with traditional Tyrolean options available at several cozy huts. The nearby town of Neustift offers a range of accommodations and après-ski options, though nightlife is generally quieter than larger resorts. Overall, Stubai Glacier was a fascinating experience that I recommend to all. It is a fantastic all-around resort, especially for those seeking reliable snow and scenic high-altitude skiing.

We went to the glacier on the third week of November. Not much snow overall, but ski-able on the top levels, not enough on the lowest levels. Ski slopes was good, could be slight better but acceptable. These days with uncertain snow levels and temperatures this will change from year to year and the time you visit We only visited the large served restaurant that offered quick service and good food. We will be back.. PS. hope the ski shop at the parking kept our ski sticks we forgot the last day

Beginning of season review - 2025. The snow conditions were very challenging: little snow and a lot of ice, very hard to enjoy this even for experienced skiers. What's worse is that were a lot of rocks on the slope which did some damage to our skis. There are a lot of blue runs which felt more like reds. The restaurants have very little space so we had to constantly eat outside even when it was snowing and windy. The place is beautiful though but I wouldn't recommend to go here in the beginning of season.

Went here on a whim with my boy and we are skiing noobs. Staff was helpful and we found the place very easy to navigate.

Novacella Abbey, also known as Neustift Monastery, is a historic Catholic abbey founded in the 12th century near Brixen. The abbey features a library, chapel, and vineyards that produce high-quality Sylvaner, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer wines due to the altitude of the vines at 870m. The monastery's architectural styles span centuries and its Baroque church interior is breathtaking.
Novacella is a lovely property and abbey were they have been producing wine for over 700 years, it has a museum, a beautiful Garden and the vineyards are circling the property like an horseshoe. They produce around 15 different labels under their name and their guided tour and Tasting is very well thought. If you find yourself around Bressanone ( Brixen) if you are a wine lover or even if you're not, this has to be an absolute Must.

Well, if you have some time this abbey is absolutely worth a visit, as it is truly a little jewel. You can visit it all calmly in about 1h30m, in fact it is not very large, but every room will fascinate you! However, I didn't find the price fair, as it costs 12€ for adults and 6€ for students/65+. In my personal opinion, a religious place shouldn't cost that much. However, I recommend visiting it during the spring months, as the botanical garden is also open, to be paid separately...

It is of rare beauty, once you get there you will want to come back every year. The focal point is Ortisei, an earthly paradise. From Ortisei you can take the cable car and go up to a place where you can see all the mountain peaks in the area, it is something special. The languages ​​spoken in the area are German and less Italian, but you can also manage with English. The food is very good as a result of the combination of the above.

Val Gardena for ski is in my top3 in Europe (been to 5 resorts in Dolomites, 3 in Val di Sole, 2 in Austrian Tirol, 3 in Aosta…) - why? You have all the options: long trails like Gardenissima (6km), La Longia (8km acc to my watch), Cir etc. You have shorter runs in Sassolungo part of the resort. You have difficult runs as well as long gentle easy ones. You have everything + one of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine, Sella massif, Sassolungo massif, Seceda, incredible Seceda. Visited few times but always before season in December and no crowds. The only negative- train connecting Seceda part to Sassolungo part is not always reliable. This place every ski person needs to visit at least once ina lifetime

The castle boasts the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, featuring over 80 garden landscapes spread across 12 hectares with an altitude difference of 100 meters.

A beautiful place with lots of original and rare flowers. I recommend going there with your friends, then it is interesting to explore. In addition, the castle in which the restaurant is located. Really stunning place.

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of botanical riches--from the "trees of the world" area to the amazing and artful viewing platform set high above the garden to the more formal plantings around the big pond and in the sunny hills near the castle. We spent a few hours here and enjoyed every minute.

We visited the Botanical Gardens of Schloss Trauttmansdorff and highly recommend it. Parking at P3 or P4 is free and just a short 5-minute walk to the entrance. The park is beautifully designed with a wide variety of landscapes and attractions. We started on the left and worked our way through to the right, spending about 2.5 hours in total. There’s a lot to see and experience. Some paths are quite steep, so it might be a bit challenging for older visitors. Overall, a stunning place well worth the visit.

This place is so awesome I don't even want to write a review about it, it might make it busier in this era of overtourism. But anyway: this garden is too beautiful to be true: the location in the Alps, the hilly terrain of the park, and the variety of plants and flowers and artwork. Usually it's sunny here which really helps. We were here in late October which was perfect. Walking around is not really doable for people who don't walk well. Parking is easy, there's also a bus to the station and it's an easy detour from the Brenner tollway.

South Tyrol Archeological Museum

Mentioned on

Archaeological museum

History Museums
Nestled in the heart of Bolzano, the South Tyrol Archeological Museum, often referred to as the Otzi Museum, is a captivating destination for history enthusiasts. This three-story museum showcases the remarkable mummified remains of Ötzi, a Neolithic man who lived over 5,300 years ago and was discovered in 1991 due to melting glaciers. Visitors can explore not only Ötzi himself but also an array of artifacts that provide insight into his life and times.
South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology – Meeting Ötzi in Bolzano Bolzano is one of those places that gets under your skin—a strange and beautiful collision of Italy and the Alps. German precision meets Italian charm, all wrapped in cobblestone streets, Gothic arcades, and the smell of good coffee drifting out of corner cafés. It’s a city where you can order a perfect espresso in the morning, a plate of speck and mountain cheese by noon, and a bottle of local Gewürztraminer by dinner. We grabbed a quick bite at a café across the street before heading in—sitting outside while small birds darted between tables, bold enough to hope for crumbs. Then we crossed over to see why most people come here: Ötzi. The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology sits in a stately old building at the edge of the pedestrian zone, and inside is one of the most haunting encounters you can have without boarding a plane to somewhere far more dangerous. Three floors take you from prehistoric tools to Roman relics, winding you closer to the reason everyone’s here: a 5,300-year-old man pulled from the ice, along with the tools, clothes, and gear he carried when death found him in the high mountains. The displays are sharp and modern, with just the right balance of science and story. There’s his copper axe, his grass cape, his last meal still in his stomach. The lifelike reconstruction of Ötzi by the Kennis brothers is unsettling in the best possible way—suddenly this isn’t just a skeleton in a glass case, it’s a person who woke up one morning not knowing it would be his last. What makes the place work is its restraint. No gimmicks, no cheap drama—just good storytelling and the quiet, unnerving truth of seeing someone who lived and died in the same mountains you can see out the window. Bolzano does that—it folds the past and present together until you can’t quite tell where one ends and the other begins.
D S — Google review
The floor with the mummy is awesome. The other floors are okay. As a physiotherapist, I feel it’s important to highlight that some of the information presented about Ötzi’s ailments and pain is factually incorrect—not just technically inaccurate but clearly and potentially harmfully wrong. Specifically, the exhibit makes claims about osteoarthritis and other health conditions that go beyond what the evidence supports. It is not scientifically valid to infer pain based solely on imaging findings of “degenerative” changes or age-related adaptations. These types of findings are extremely common in healthy people—many of whom experience no pain at all. Presenting such changes as definitive sources of pain reinforces outdated and misleading beliefs about the human body. This can contribute to fear, over-medicalization, and unnecessary treatments in the general public, especially among people who already live with chronic pain or worry about their health. Aside from the clearly documented issues—such as the arrow wound in his shoulder, the broken arm, and dental problems—any additional claims about Ötzi’s experience of pain are speculative at best and should be labeled as such. Personally, I think those parts of the exhibit should be changed. I included some photos of the problematic texts.
Lasse L — Google review
Great museum, mainly dedicated to the story (and viewing) of Ötzi, the iceman. Recommendation when you are in the area. Also some interesting items on living situations in that time and how to craft for example. We didn’t have a ticket in advance and so had to wait outside. It was annoying that the lady at the front couldn’t tell us how long the queue would be, luckily it was only a bit more than 20 minutes. We visited on a tuesday afternoon mid September. Recommended to buy beforehand! Inside there are also many school groups next to the general visitors so it is not calm or quiet.
Stanly — Google review
An interesting museum dedicated to literally just one mummy. After viewing the exhibit, you realize how much information can be gleaned from such a find. My seven-year-old daughter was a bit scared; perhaps it's too early to see such exhibits. Tickets are inexpensive, but there's no parking. The restrooms are clean and comfortable. A significant amount of money has been invested in the museum; I recommend visiting.
Dmitrii D — Google review
Awesome museum! I have been interested in Otzi since he was pulled out of the ice, so when I was nearby I made sure to make a detour to Bolzano and the museum. You’re not allowed to take photos of Otzi himself as he is being preserved for research purposes. The images below show what they think Otzi would have looked like. One thing I found most interesting, (other than his acupuncture tattoos of course!) was his height - only 5 feet 3 inches. I had expected him to be taller, possibly because of my own biases, but possibly also owing to the nature of his life - mountain climbing and hunting while alone. Regardless, he was obviously a seriously brave guy. The museum dedicated to him is definitely worth a visit.

So cool ! The museum is located in the middle of town. Parking was a challenge , we used the parkhouse , while it’s 4.50€ per hour, it worked out well. The museum is set up in 3 floors , easy to follow as everything is numbered. What an amazing valuable find, so interesting . This exhibit really helps you understand the life of this man .

Amazing place to see especially on a sunny day. We were there with our 7m campervan on a Sunday morning around 9am and there were plenty of parking spaces but got busy rather quickly. You need to pay in the ticket machine before passing through the exit gate. Campers pay 9 eur for 3 hrs which is plenty time to see the sights, get some footage and have a meal as well.

It is a small lake surrounded by pine forests and the Dolomites mountains, offering breathtaking scenery. The water is crystal clear with an emerald-green color, reflecting the mountains and the sky. Easy to reach with no difficult roads. Parking is available at €3 per hour (Oct 2025), and payment must be made in advance at the ticket machine. The area also has convenient facilities such as shops and restaurants, though not very large. Perfect for a short stop to take photos and enjoy a peaceful walk. The atmosphere is calm, cool, and truly romantic.

A beautiful little alpine lake with stunning turquoise water and breathtaking mountain views in the background. It’s an easy hike, you can walk around it in about 1 hour. Unfortunately, it’s quite a popular tourist spot, so unless you arrive early in the morning, it can get very crowded. Luckily, most visitors tend to stay near the starting point to take photos, so the rest of the trail around the lake is much quieter and more peaceful.

(Translated by Google) Small museum run by the Alpine troops inside the bar on the famous Bassano bridge. Small museum but very well kept and with some truly goosebump-inducing objects, the exhibit that struck me the most is the helmet with the bullet hole and still with traces of blood and brain matter, perhaps it is macabre but it reminds us that millions of people died. Thank you for what you do, places like this shout out loud "DON'T FORGET" especially to the new generations (Original) Piccolo museo gestito dagli alpini all'interno del bar sul famoso ponte di Bassano. Piccolo museo ma molto ben tenuto e con alcuni oggetti veramente da pelle d'oca, il reperto che più mi ha colpito è l'elmetto con il foro di proiettile e ancora con tracce di sangue e materia cerebrale, forse è macabro ma ci ricorda che milioni di persone sono morte.

Olympic Theater

Mentioned on

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Olympic Theater, also known as Teatro Olimpico, is a historic landmark in Vicenza, Europe's first covered theater built in the 16th century. Commissioned by the Olympic Academy, it was designed to host performances and intellectual debates. The theater consists of three rooms with impressive frescoes dating back to 1647 and original oil lamps from 1585 on display.
A stunning architectural marvel and the oldest surviving Renaissance theatre in the world. Designed by Andrea Palladio, its intricate facade and impressive perspective scenery create a breathtaking atmosphere that transports visitors back in time. The interior is equally enchanting, with beautifully crafted details that showcase the artistry of the era. However, it's important to note that access to the stage and background is not included with the ticket purchase, which may disappoint some visitors eager to explore beyond the audience experience. Nonetheless, the theatre's historical significance and aesthetic appeal make it a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and the performing arts.

Very impressive theater. The tour through the museum lasts about 15-30 minutes depending on how much you want to read. If there’s a concert or something similar while you’re staying in Vicenza, I recommend booking a ticket to experience the theater in action. During summer it’s very hot (there‘s no AC).
Celina B — Google review
We saw a Bach concert that suited this Andrea Palladio masterpiece theatre very well. As it’s a protected building only few changes have been made and we didn’t see any bar, but didn’t miss it either as there was no intermission. The seats are quite uncomfortable but acceptable in a heritage building like this one. The play with spatial illusions makes the scene very dramatic and special.
Ville H — Google review
It may be over 400 years old but the Teatro Olimpico remains stunning and immensely practical. The stage set including the streets laid out in perfect perspective must have added to the theatrical experience and captivated and enthralled audiences. You can't go on the stage so you have to make do with a scale model made from Lego to appreciate the technique. Pure genius from the master classical architect Palladio. We bought the Vicenza Silver Card for free admission to four of the top tourist sites. This is one of the best.

Exceptional. The fact that the theatre exists largely as-is from the 16th century and the visual effect of the theater backdrop simulating loooong streets leave one stare in awe. If in the area, a must-see!

All of Vicenza is beautiful and one of our favourite places in Italy. But this theatre... Is... AMAZING! Yes it's not very big, but if you get your tickets as part of a multi attraction pass it is very cheap. The theatre itself is incredible and has the original set pieces from its creation which make an optical illusion. There is a free audio guide which gives a great insight. No photo can do it justice. The seats are original wood from the 1500's... So be careful of catching your pants on a nail or splinter. Also. You will NEED to use the small stairs, on either end or the centre to move up and down the seating. The staff get very upset about you stomping down the seating given its age.

The Palladian Basilica, a 16th-century masterpiece designed by the renowned architect Palladio, is a cultural hub in Vicenza. The building underwent renovations in 2012 and is surrounded by grand aristocratic palaces like Loggia del Capitaniato and Palazzo Chiericati. Visitors can explore the nearby Casa Pigafetta and the iconic Rotonda villa, both designed by Palladio.
An architectural marvel that embodies the brilliance of Andrea Palladio; with its striking façade and harmonious proportions, the basilica stands as a testament to Renaissance ingenuity. Inside, visitors are welcomed by elegant arches and massive interior that enhances the building's grandeur. Serving as a vibrant cultural center, it hosts various events and exhibitions that enrich the local community. A visit here is a must for anyone seeking to admire the beauty of classical architecture and experience the heart of Vicenza's rich history.

Impressive Renaissance building by architect Andrea Palladio who did not see its completion in 1614. The double loggia (arched gallery) in white marble wraps around an older Gothic structure from the mid 15th century. It functioned as a court of law and has a marvellous slender and tall clock tower

The Basilica Palladiana is Vicenza’s architectural showstopper—and heck, its best selfie spot. It’s history in haute couture: elegant, bold, and endlessly influential. Marvel at its facades, sip on the rooftop, and let the limestone loggias whisper stories of civic pride and Renaissance flair into your soul. Renaissance done right, darling.
Mira E — Google review
Palladian Basilica is a building that tries very hard to impress. Columns, arches, everything is decorous and noble, just like “an architectural classic for a textbook”. But, to be honest, don’t expect revelations inside: it’s more like a huge stone hint that they once knew how to build beautifully and on a grand scale here. Palladian Basilica is a classic of the genre: architectural grandeur plus a modern bonus in the form of a ticket office at the entrance. Yes, yes, Andrea Palladio probably dreamed that his creation would be perceived centuries later as “another expense item on vacation”. It’s beautiful inside, no doubt, but you feel like you’re not in a temple of architecture, but in a “pay-and-see” museum. As a result, you get a symbiosis: the spirit of the Renaissance and a light aroma of commerce. Well, art also wants to eat.

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

We ordered the room trough Booking and got totally different room - smaller ofcourse. With terrace that is locked with two locks. So you pay for a spacious room and get a tiny room in the attic. When we wanted to sort things out with the owner he/she? (They dont answer the phone, comunicate only via whatsapp text messages) told us that booking is mixing pictures which is not true. Anyways the owners manners were absolutely horrific, he in fact told us to leave him alone.. There are many better acomodations in Ferrara, please support them. People running this place are the worst.
Ivan H — Google review
They charged for consumption of snacks that did not occur, and I never gave them my card information directly, meaning they got it from either Booking or Nexi. They provided the wrong WiFi information, but with a good amount of insults as I confronted them.

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

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

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

Estense Castle

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

A very impressive castle surrounded by the greenest water I’ve ever seen. Located just at the entrance of Ferrara medieval beautiful down town. What makes it more perfect is that it is absolutely free of charge, no entrance fee, no packed tourists. Just for you to enjoy it by yourself…

Two Towers

Observation Decks & Towers
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Two Towers, also known as Due Torri, are iconic landmarks in Bologna, Italy. These medieval leaning towers were built in the 12th and 13th centuries by noble families and have become symbols of the city. The taller of the two, Torre degli Asinelli (Asinelli Tower), stands at 97 meters with 498 steps offering panoramic views of Bologna.
The two towers in the heart of Bologna highlights the importance of preserving history. One of the towers is leaning, probably more than the one in Pisa (I saw that in a YouTube Video), and visibly one can see the leaning in comparison with the other tower. Currently, restoration work is going on and so they are not open to public. However, you can see and click photos from the road.
Nikhil R — Google review
Beautifully restored towers in central bologna - monumental of Bologna’s history. The towers served as status symbols, and the city once had 80 to 180 towers as people competed to outdo one another in status.
M4l2K T — Google review
Impressive historical landmarks in the heart of Bologna. The taller tower, Asinelli, offers a breathtaking panoramic view if you're up for the 498-step climb. The smaller, Garisenda, leans dramatically and adds to the charm. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

The Two Towers of Bologna (Le Due Torri) – A must-see landmark in Bologna! Standing tall in the heart of the city, the towers are not only impressive but also full of history. Walking around them gives you a true sense of medieval Bologna. Truly iconic and worth the visit!
Lovely P — Google review
97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.
Tomas J — Google review
Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.
E P — Google review
We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Piazza Santo Stefano, also known as Piazza delle Sette Chiese (Seven churches square), is a charming pedestrian area in Bologna. The piazza leads to the Seven Churches complex and is surrounded by historic palaces. It's a triangular space with porticos along both long sides and hosts cultural events, flea markets, and concerts.
A stunning square and a beautiful chapel and cloister. Well worth a visit. More peaceful than other places and with excellent cafes to relax and enjoy the view.

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

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

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

Sights & Landmarks
Piazza Maggiore, the main square in Bologna's historical center, is a bustling hub of activity. It serves as the perfect starting point for exploring the city, featuring notable landmarks such as the grand San Petronio cathedral, the iconic Neptune fountain, and the Palazzo d'Accursio museum housed within the city hall building.
We had a tour of the piazza with a very knowledgeable local guide. What a fascinating history and so much about Bologna I did not know. The piazza is easily accessible by foot or public transport from the central station.
Cate C — Google review
The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.
John G — Google review
Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it
Akınalp F — Google review
A beautiful and vibrant city center with a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm. The magnificent Neptune sculpture stands proudly as a centerpiece, surrounded by elegant architecture and lively public spaces. The nearby library adds a touch of intellectual and cultural richness, making it a pleasant area to explore and relax. Everything is within easy walking distance — from charming cafés and local boutiques to upscale shopping destinations such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, shopping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this area offers an enjoyable and well-balanced urban experience

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

Great central square and public space used to great effect, every evening i was there, a stage was set with speakers talking about future possibilities, and last night an italian classic covering themes like poverty, innocence, friendship from the viewpoint of a young boy. I believe there is a free movie every evening until end of August. Over 500 seats were taken which shows people have an appetite to use pubic spaces in creative ways, well done bologna!
John T — Google review
The nightlife in this pizza was unbelievable! We were there at 12:00 am and the live music was still going on with a good crowd and didn't seem it's going to go down anytime soon! Beautiful, big piazza with good vibes and plenty steps to sit on and chill.

Outlet Barberino

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

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

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

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