Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata

Mentioned on 
+19 other lists 
Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata is a prominent baroque cathedral located in the lively main square of Catania. Designed by Giovanni Vaccarini, its columned facade and domed roof dominate the Piazza del Duomo. The cathedral houses the tomb of composer Vincenzo Bellini and features original Norman apses and a fresco depicting Catania's submission to Mount Etna's eruption.
It is a mesmerising baroque masterpiece renowned for its imposing facade and serene interior, offering visitors a profound sense of tranquility and peace. Its architectural grandeur, a testament to the city's resilience after the 1693 earthquake, combines elements of Romanesque and Baroque styles, creating an atmosphere conducive to contemplation. The cathedral's spiritual ambiance is further enhanced by its rich history and the devotion it inspires in both locals and visitors. ⛪️ 🙏🇮🇹🥰
Maria C — Google review
Austere baroque building. Its facade is the most exuberant part of the building. The grave of Bellini is an impressive site and obviously still loved by the locals given the flowers. The music line on the grave talks of the fire dying with his passing. The remnants of the Norman Basilica give an idea of the prior building’s grandeur, it is a great pity it did not survive (given also how beautiful other Norman buildings are) Well worth a short visit!
PWF R — Google review
The Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata is an extraordinary place of worship and a must-see for anyone passionate about culture, religion, and art. Rich in history, it stands as one of Catania’s most iconic landmarks. The cathedral is truly spectacular – both in its impressive exterior architecture and in the beauty and detail of its interior. A visit here leaves you with a deep sense of awe and appreciation for Sicily’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
Andrei V — Google review
We visited this Cathedral early in the day, then came back that evening for a classical music event. This is a very special place with a deeply spiritual vibe. The marble work is exquisite and not overly ornate. This is a lovely, lovely place.
Adrian C — Google review
The Kathedrale Sant’Agata (Catania Cathedral) is a magnificent piece of architecture that anchors the Piazza del Duomo. The building itself is historically rich and absolutely beautiful, showcasing the striking Baroque style typical of the city. The surrounding garden area is also well-kept and provides a lovely, peaceful contrast to the busy piazza. Top Tip for Photographers: If you want to capture truly amazing pictures of the Cathedral and the piazza, I highly recommend visiting right before or during sunset. The light hitting the facade at that time is spectacular and creates unforgettable views. This is not just a place of worship, but a true architectural and photographic landmark in Catania.
Halide E — Google review
The Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata in Catania is one of the most captivating landmarks in Sicily, offering a powerful blend of history, spirituality, and architectural beauty. Located at the heart of the city’s main square, the cathedral immediately draws attention with its grand Baroque façade, a striking contrast against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Etna. The exterior is richly ornamented yet harmonious, showcasing elegant stonework that reflects both the resilience and the artistic heritage of the region. Stepping inside, visitors are greeted by a spacious and luminous interior. The soaring columns, intricate chapels, and ornate altars create an atmosphere of reverence and serenity. One of the most memorable aspects is the cathedral’s connection to Saint Agatha, the patron saint of Catania. Her presence is deeply woven into the basilica’s identity, and the relics displayed within lend a powerful sense of tradition and devotion. The cathedral also offers a unique insight into the city’s turbulent past. It has been rebuilt multiple times due to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and this layered history adds emotional depth to the experience. The blend of Norman, Baroque, and later architectural influences makes wandering through the basilica both visually engaging and historically enriching. Outside, the bustling square provides a lively contrast, making the cathedral a perfect starting point for exploring Catania’s cultural and urban life. Whether you are drawn by faith, history, or architecture, the Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata is a must-see destination that leaves a lasting impression.

Some cathedrals are beautifully painted with fresccos and adorned with gorgeous artefacts. This cathedral was almost simple but had grandeur instead. Absolutely magnificent and that made it beautiful. There catacombs under that I did not visit (3 euros). Beautiful cathedral.

You definitely should go up with cable car and 4x4 bus. Otherwise you’ll miss a lot! It’s really easy hiking and you wouldn’t spend much calories at all, and it’s easy for elderly people as well. Don’t stay down at two thousand something meters field. Go up!
Abdumavlon R — Google review
It's a good drive 3/4 of the way up then cable car then guided tour. We didn't go further up as a we were in a thunder rain cloud when we got up there so decided to go back as viability was poor. Recommend you go when the weather is good and clear which I am assured it normally is
Gary H — Google review
A must if you’re in Catania! Warm clothes, windbreaker and long pants are recommended for mid October visit. Be aware of the terrain, the climb will get your shoes and clothes ashy, especially descending where there’s “volcanic sand”
Darren T — Google review
Absolutely MUST BE in SICILY! The Iconic Etna Volcano is a place definitely worth visiting. You can take a hike but it's also accessible for everyone by cable car to the high of 2500m, then you can take 4x4 bus to about 2800m. From there rest of the trip have to be done by foot. But views are the reward! Especially when you can look at the clouds below where you are. Best consider going in good weather condition and good visibility to get best of it!
Daniel B — Google review
A must do if here! We only went to 2,500 but you can get a bus to 3000 ! Great views and getting cable car up makes it so much easier. Tip don’t wear white sneakers (trainers). Also check weather as can get cold! If we had longer we would have gone to top. Plenty of parking.
Ben C — Google review
Spectacular! Tip; wear a hoody, and maybe also a scarf even, so that you can cover most of your head and face, as there can be very strong winds and the lava sand is quite sharp. Trip to the top is definitely worth it, spectacular views!!

An extraordinary experience in a truly unique place. Our guide, Dario Lo Scavo, proved to be a top-class professional – highly knowledgeable, passionate, and able to present information in an engaging and accessible way. The organization of the tour was flawless, combining strong emotions with valuable insights and unforgettable impressions. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to fully discover the beauty and power of Mount Etna.
Szymon — Google review
Pictures don’t do justice! You’ll have to go on one or the tours to visit Mt Etna to view and experience this iconic volcanoes! At the end of the tour we were taken to an area to view one of the most incredible sunsets! Mount Etna is a dominant feature of northeastern Sicily and the highest active volcano in Europe, reaching an elevation of around 10,900 feet (3,320 meters), although its height can fluctuate due to eruptions.

Teatro Antico di Taormina

Mentioned on

Amphitheater
Concerts & Shows
Teatro Antico di Taormina, also known as the Greek Theatre, is a remarkable ancient Greco-Roman theater nestled in the charming streets of Taormina. Dating back to the 3rd century BC, this iconic amphitheater offers breathtaking views of the sea and Mount Etna. Once a testament to the town's Greek origins, it now serves as a venue for entertainment events such as opera performances and concerts featuring international celebrities.
The queens performance is amazing. The feel is stunning. It’s really nice to see such an ancient architecture to still be used as it was designed to be that function——as a theater. The structure of that architecture make sure that the voice is echoed with grace. The view of the Bay and the mountain Etna or combining with the beautiful architecture and the wonderful performance. Really enjoyed on my time here..
Victor Y — Google review
⭐ A truly extraordinary site. The Ancient Theatre of Taormina is stunning — its size, location, and breathtaking views make it unforgettable. The setting is fantastic, especially with the sunlight shining through the old stone arches, creating a magical atmosphere. The ticket price is around €14–15 per person, which may feel a bit high, but it’s worth it. We planned to stay for a short visit and ended up spending about an hour, simply because the place is so peaceful and makes you want to linger. A must-see in Taormina. 🌿
Cyril — Google review
Brilliant piece of history and still in use today. Not overly priced and the views are fabulous on a good day. We spent 2 hrs going around in the late afternoon so it wasn't too busy or to the point, too hot. Take a breather and soak up all the beauty that surrounds you and watch as the stage hands prepare for the evenings musical event. So glad we did it and would recommend it to you all while here in this beautiful part of Sicily.
Trevor H — Google review
One of the most stunning ancient sites I have ever visited, with fantastic views over the Ionian Sea. We had a guided tour which I would thoroughly recommend as it was really interesting to understand a more in depth history of the site compared to the information boards on site. Our tour guide was an archaeologist and her enthusiasm for the subject was palpable. Great cafe/bar on site with great views and draft beer!
Harry W — Google review
At 16 Euro entry its an absolute steal. If you enjoy history and unbelievably stunning views you cannot go wrong. It is probably the most photographed spot in Sicily. Carved into a natural amphitheatre there was 5400 spectator seats. Built in the Hellenistic style in the 3rd century BC with Later Roman additions. Also referred to as the Greek theatre due to this part of Sicily at the time being a Greek colony.
Dave T — Google review
Another must see place to put onto the list when visiting Sicily. Greek theatre is an atmosphere of ancient ruins with great views over the city of Taormina, Ionian sea and mount Etna. The price was €16 per adult, it was quite quiet, not overcrowded - maybe because we were there right at opening just after 9am, and it was November. But even then weather was great. Fantastic views!
Daniel B — Google review
Here's a polished version of your review: This location is truly breathtaking, with its stunning scenery. However, the prices are steep - we paid almost $50 for a family visit that lasted only 15 minutes. On the plus side, there's a convenient free shuttle from the parking area, and the walk to the attraction isn't too long. We visited with a stroller and toddler, and managed okay. Long line to buy tickets, original website didn’t work for me to buy tickets in advance.

The Shore of Tropea is a hidden gem nestled beneath towering cliffs, offering visitors a stunning beach experience with its soft sands and crystal-clear waters. This picturesque spot not only boasts breathtaking views but also has historical significance; the town was strategically built on high cliffs to fend off pirate invasions. The narrow streets of Tropea reflect this clever design, allowing locals to stay vigilant against threats.

The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. The beach is surrounded by picturesque cliffs and offers a breathtaking view of the historic town center and the Santa Maria dell’Isola church.This is an amazing beach.

Water was a little dirty at the shore but once you got out of it it was amazing.The beach is beautiful but be aware it is full of people during peak time.The sea has a bustling color like in the Caribbean.

A sandy beach with a crystal clear blue sea. If you need some relaxation then the public beach at Tropea will help. It has an amazing backdrop with the old town perched above on the cliffs and the church on top of the rock. There is a beach bar also which sells cold drinks and coffees etc.
John F — Google review
The beach in Tropea is undeniably beautiful and the view of the town from the shore is breathtaking. The rock formations are stunning and worth seeing, especially if you can get closer by boat which we did and it was much more enjoyable. However, the sheer number of people can be overwhelming and for me it was just too much. If you don’t mind the crowds you will probably love it but if you prefer peace and space there are plenty of other beaches nearby that are far less crowded. Because of the mass of people my rating is lower which is a shame given how beautiful this place really is.
Paweł B — Google review
A really unique beach with soft white sand tucked under the cliffs where the town of Tropea sits. The views are amazing, with dramatic cliffs all around, and there’s even a beach inside a big cave! You’ll see lots of people cliff jumping too. The water near the shore was a bit murky, but once you swim out, it’s crystal clear and beautiful. It can get super crowded during peak times and really hot since there’s not much shade—definitely bring sun protection. Still, it’s a stunning place and totally worth a visit.
Adrianna W — Google review
The place is amazing! So vivid and so peaceful at the same time. And the water is just perfect, clear and refreshing. The people are very friendly and nice. It’s a great place to be with friends or family, but it’s also a place for a wonderful solo experience. 🥳

Very wonderful place! Beautiful white good beach. Convenient descent to the water. The sea has a bustling color like in the Caribbean. No Garbage and packages in the water. The sand is soft. View on the background of the white cliff and the sea: a great surroundings for unusual photos! In the evening you can see Stromboli volcano! I recommend this beach for all who love silence and clear sea! It is unfortunate, but at 7.30 am on April 7, 2023, part of the island fell ashore into the sea. The unique beach with white sand under the rock has ceased to exist. I hope the local authorities have enough resources to restore and strengthen the coast in this place!

Temple of Athena

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
The Temple of Athena is an ancient site dating back to 500 BCE, known for its extensive ruins and natural surroundings perfect for leisurely walks. In the early twentieth century, scholars and archaeologists conducted excavations in the area, uncovering various structures such as the Temple of Peace, comitium, Porta Marina street, and amphitheater.
If you're anywhere near Paestum and don’t stop to see the Temple of Athena, you’re seriously missing out. Nestled between two larger and more famous temples (Hera and Neptune), this smaller Doric treasure is a gem in its own right, and honestly, a standout for me. Built around 500 BCE, it blends Doric and Ionic elements, showing a transition in architectural style that gives it a unique personality. It's not just a ruin, it's a moment in time, frozen in stone, where you can feel the ambition of early Magna Graecia. The structure is remarkably well-preserved, and walking around it, you get this electric sense of ancient artistry and balance. Even after centuries, its proportions still feel elegant and intentional. What I especially loved was how the Temple of Athena rises slightly on higher ground, almost like she’s still keeping watch. It’s not overrun with tourists (unlike some other famous sites), so you can take your time and soak in the atmosphere. That peaceful weight of history, mixed with warm southern Italian light? Unforgettable. In short: majestic, understated, and totally worth the visit. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just want a sacred pause in your day, this temple delive
Gabriella S — Google review
Inside the park so kinda weird that there’s a separate Google listing for each temple when you pay once to visit them all. Plus, how would you rate one temple fewer stars than the others? They’re all over 2,000 years old still standing! I’m struck by how perfectly level and straight the columns and flooring blocks are. Shows fantastic engineering and planning and site prep.
Jason B — Google review
Don't miss Paestum. We arrived just as they closed the gates, but the views from outside the fences were so good we almost didn't go back the next morning. What a mistake that would have been. Upclose access to wellpreserved temples, and acres of tumbled ruins of lesser homes and palaces.
Tim G — Google review
We got free entry as it was a national Republic day then. The temple complex is huge. The archaeology remains appear much grand than in pictures. However still in good shape particularly the temple of Neptune. I would suggest to buy a booklet giving information and it has nice illustrations about how this place must have looked in its heydays. Nice break from crowded tourists spots along amalfi coast
Vishal S — Google review
A very impressive archeological park that we stumbled upon whilst motor biking from Diamanté to Salerno. Well worth the €15 ticket - the park is well maintained and well organised. Plenty of parking available and some nearby food options. It’s ideal to park at the exit, closer to Temple of Athena, and walk up to the entrance. Allow at least one hour, more if you visit the museum which is included in the ticket price.
Bec C — Google review
This place is far more interesting than you expect. We were here for about 3 hours. The museum is informative. Once you are on the actual site it seems wrong to be able to walk all over the sites of the buildings. Beautiful mosaics are left open to the elements. Some visual representation of what the buildings may have looked like would have been useful. Excellent value for money. Signage around the site is poor though

This attraction is part of a larger collection of sightseeing spots and fun activities on Capri island, offering visitors opportunities to experience local culture, dine at great restaurants, find budget-friendly accommodations, shop, party, and relax.
It’s an awesome experience. We got the bus down from Ana Capri (which was an experience in itself…). The queue was about 2hrs long and it was in the heat down the steps but we bought water and fans from the shop you pass through. The boat tour is absolute chaos but brilliant fun and once inside the grotto it’s lovely and you get serenaded by the skippers. Worth the wait. They were all done by 2:30pm as the waters were high so best get there early

The cave and the color of the water is amazing. It was an adventurous experience to change the boat . Quite a wonder that it worked out fine. The waiting time to get in the cave is really long und it was so tight in this small boat. Thank god I took a pill to prevent a motion sickness otherwise it would be a torture. Well, altogether it was an experience but it really expensive. I really don’t know for sure if it worth it.

They started a little early, and we were actually out of the cave and on shore at 9am. We had thought it was going to take almost 2 hours (which is definitely possible because by the time we were out, there were 50 people in the line on shore, and a couple dozen boats of people waiting for the small boats to pick them up 4 at a time to go into the cave).

Very much a tourist trap, only do it if you have the means for it. Costs about 18€ per person and an additional 10€ for the boat rower. Also only do it if there is not a lot of wait. We only waited 15 min and didn’t know what to expect. The tour inside is only 5 minutes. Each boat takes 4 people and you have to duck down to fit inside the cave entrance. I would say you are not missing much if you don’t do it, there’s a lot of other better things to do in Capri.

Clear blue waters. Mysterious coves. Light breeze. That's all you need for a perfect getaway in this paradise situated in Capri. The natives taking you inside the Grotto are friendly and welcoming, singing beautiful Italian parodies that touch your heart. The cave inside the Grotto dates back to the time when a Romanian king came to this Grotto by digging a tunnel for 90m. There a huge line for this but the experience itself is out of this world. Highly recommend!

The Blue Grotto in Capri is absolutely magical! The moment you glide into the cave, the sunlight reflecting off the water creates a glowing, almost otherworldly blue that takes your breath away. The boat ride is short but unforgettable, and the experience feels truly unique to Capri. The guides are friendly and add to the charm with their singing and stories. It’s a must-see—photos can’t capture the beauty, you simply have to experience it in person!

Nature at its best. The color of the waters is surreal. Must see in person, well worth a boat ride there.

Il Monastero

Hotel
Sights & Landmarks
Il Monastero is a unique hotel located within the Castello Aragonese on a small island off the coast of Ischia. It was originally a 16th-century convent and has been transformed into a rustic hotel with simple accommodations, offering stunning panoramic views of the island. The terracotta floors and handcrafted decor by local artisans provide an authentic and warm atmosphere.
Almost don’t want to sing its praises too much in case prices rise and it becomes too in demand! A unique, wonderful and stylish hotel. The terrace has amazing views, the rooms are simple but comfortable, the staff are lovely and it was spotlessly clean. Not suitable for anyone unable to climb stairs or who would want a pool. We will be coming again next year for sure

Il Monastero is a unique hotel that offers five star quality surroundings, staff and food. The lush gardens, beautiful views, tranquil and relaxed feeling … it’s a special place you really need to absorb and take in. Multiple nights suggested: Ischia offers plenty for 3-4 days and is better enjoyed without a rush. And Il Monastero offers the perfect stay.
Johan V — Google review
Our stay was nothing short of spectacular. The location is incredible - you’re staying in a unique monument with views that are out of this world (even considering Italian standards). The family owned hotel is very tastefully decorated with art made by several of the family members - perfect blend of history with contemporary touches. The breakfast was another highlight - varied and delicious ingredients. Loved the cafeteria as well that offered varied frames over the bay and sea under the trees. The garden was just incredibly beautiful. Service was outstanding, including the proactive help we got with managing our luggage up and down the hill. One of the most unique hotels I’ve stayed in. Would go back in a heartbeat

​My recent visit to Il Monastero Hotel was a wonderful experience, set against one of the most spectacular backdrops imaginable. From the moment we arrived, the check-in staff made us feel incredibly welcome, taking the time to explain everything we needed to know for our stay. ​Our room, #21, was a particular highlight. It was not only spacious and comfortable but also featured a balcony with truly spectacular views that we couldn't get enough of. The evening atmosphere was lovely as well. We enjoyed drinks and a decent dinner in a beautifully set environment. Dinner was Ok. ​While the stay was wonderful overall, a couple of things could be improved. The breakfast was a bit of a letdown compared to the rest of the experience. The coffee, in particular, was quite poor, and it felt a little limiting when the staff only offered "espresso or cappuccino" to guests. I believe with a little more training, the breakfast service could easily match the high standards of the rest of the hotel. Keep in mind that there are few stairs to climb, the lift went out of service during our last night. While we enjoyed the experience of walking up to the hotel, others might find it difficult. ​I highly recommend using the parking lot about a 12-minute walk away. It was a convenient solution for keeping our car overnight. ​Despite these minor points, our stay was truly special and I would absolutely go back one day to experience the unique charm and incredible views that Il Monastero offers.

This experience was truly unique: to be accommodated in such a fabulous castle, with a breathtaking view and a team of staff that are absolutely the kindest possible. Il Monastero is the only place in Ischia which can offer such experience. We are truly grateful for being able to live it just before the season ended! Thank you very much.

The Albergo II Monastery is a magnificent blend of history and hospitality - an old Monastery and caslte lovingly converted into a hotel. The setting is stunning, with breathtaking gardens and panoramic views over the island that are simply unforgettable (especially if you are there on the Feast of St Anna - amazing view on the fireworks). The food is outstanding: organic refined, flavorful, and of an exceptional quality. The staff are warm, attentive and go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The design and aesthetics are nice, creating an elegant and serene atmosphere. Overall, a beautiful and memorable stay. It is a little sad that the building's original monastic identity has been almost entirely erased - especially in such a historic comple, in a country with deep Catholic roots like Italy. The rooms, while comfortable, could benefit from slight renovations to add more "wow" factor, comfort and a stronger sense of character.

This is sheer heaven. Staff so helpful and kind. Views amazing and history , well read about it. One needs to be fit as many steps to get there. A lift for part of it.

Sansevero Chapel Museum

Art museum
Museums
Sansevero Chapel Museum, located in the heart of Naples, is a hidden gem that might be easily overlooked. Originally built in the 17th century and later remodeled by Prince Raimondo di Sangro in the 18th century, it houses a collection of remarkable sculptures created by renowned artists. The chapel features unique Baroque-style architecture and is home to mysterious and symbolic sculptures, including a veiled Christ made from marble.
impressive... looks surreal... can't belive my eyes it's a whole piece of marble. Last time we were in Naples couldn't get in- worth ordering the tickets beforehand. PS: still can't understand why taking pics is strictly forbidden- one can't remember it all, taking pics, zooming in and studying is a way to extand uour stay long after you're gone. So, here you can see the brand of jewelry that's sold in the shop- not sure it is silver, although they assured me it is- no marks on the btacelet I bought there}
Ani B — Google review
The Veiled Christ sculpture is without a doubt the most impressive. The way the marble looks like a delicate, transparent veil over Jesus is unbelievable. I honestly couldn’t believe it was carved from a single block of marble. It’s one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of art I’ve ever seen. The other piece that really stood out to me was the one with the marble net (Il Disinganno). The fine detail in the net is just mind blowing. Although the chapel isn’t very big, every part of it is full of intricate art and symbolism. I do wish we could take photos, but I also understand why it’s not allowed, it helps you focus more on the moment. Highly recommend booking in advance, as it can get very crowded. But it’s 100% worth visiting!!

The highlight of my trip is Guiseppe Sanmartino’s Veiled Christ in the Sansevero Chapel Museum in the heart of Napoli’s old city. I have been waiting for this moment since for 2 years when i first learnt about this incredible masterpiece. The thinness, fluidity and transparency of the veil, the expression on the face and body of Christ as he laid in the tomb is remarkable and hard to imagine that the material is marble. Very unforgettable an experience. The staff are helpful and excellent in managing crowd flow. The chapel is small and the experience of entering in is intense and mystical. Too bad no photography of any kind is allowed but there were books to purchase at the end. I wish there were more literature on Guiseppe Sanmartino’s life and history. This great craftsman remains a mystery to me for now.

Jan A — Google review
So there is no warning online when you buy the expensive tickets that you can not take photos inside. Which is fine, people would take a long time if everyone took photos, and it is a small chapel. However you can not take photos in the store of the postcards either. I find that ridiculous for the price of 12€ entry to this tiny thing. Also typical rude Napolitans employees, but that is expected i guess.
Tünde P — Google review
An absolute must-see in Naples. Although the San Severo Chapel is just one single room, it’s one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The sculptures and frescoes inside are stunning, with an incredible level of detail and realism. It’s really worth getting the audio guide, as it explains in depth the history and meaning behind each sculpture and fresco. Without it, you miss a lot of context and can’t fully appreciate what you’re seeing. For such a short visit, it’s definitely worth it. The visit takes around 20–30 minutes, and it never feels long or heavy. It’s short, fascinating, and full of beauty. If you’re in Naples, it’s an essential stop — a small gem you shouldn’t miss.
Jordi P — Google review
This is not to be missed when in Naples! Some of the most incredible art I have ever seen! Some of the most famous works of art are in this chapel. No photos allowed so you can really just focus on what you are seeing. You can get pictures when you are leaving by scanning a bar code. Highly recommend!
Angie D — Google review
It is a wonderful chapel full of potent history but the "do not take picture" is a very stupid policy as I saw tons of people shooting around and even here I can witness other people posting their pictures. Just get rid of this policy please. Photos are all around the world. I really dont understand why you dont want people to bring home this true neapolitan gem and beauty. And I am speaking as neapolitan myself.

Castel del Monte is a remarkable 13th-century castle known for its unique octagonal shape and symbolic architectural design. It seamlessly blends influences from various cultures, featuring an octagonal base with eight towers and trapezoidal rooms. The castle's courtyard also boasts an eight-sided layout, adding to its mystique. Visitors can explore the castle's intriguing history through guided tours and even pick up souvenirs at the gift shop.
A gorgeous castle! Castel del Monte is super unique and just stunning to see and visit! The castle has been built with various materials, of which sadly enough only few can be seen. The views that you can experience are amazing. Sadly you now have to pay for parking 5€ for a car and if you want to take the bus up to the castle this is another 2€ per person…
Bob C — Google review
The castle itself is very impressive, but everything around it simply ruins the experience. Parking is paid, as is the shuttle. There's a con man standing by the free restroom trying to take money for admission. After parking and the shuttle, there's a ticket to the castle itself, which costs 10 euros for a tour inside the castle, which is actually quite small; it takes no more than 15 minutes to explore.

Amazing Swabian castle dating back to about 1290! It is surrounded by a forest and you only need a few hours to see everything. Bring some good hiking shoes, unless you are able to pay for parking close to the castle. We went during the week and it was not very busy. There are a few great videos inside the castle, which stays amazingly cool in the summer heat!!

We went in early November so it wasn’t too crowded. We parked in the nearby private lot for €5 but I think if you park in the lot ~2km away it’s free. The museum was great. Text panels in Italian and English and braille. Video and tactile exhibits. Audio guide in multiple languages available at an extra cost. Bathrooms on the premises. A restaurant nearby as well. Can be seen in its entirety in under an hour.

Super interesting octagonal castle from the 1240s built by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, Hohenstaufen of Swabia and King of Sicily. Example of Medieval architecture located on a hill some kilometers away from Andria overseeing a large plain. Castel del Monte is surely one of Apulia’s symbols: a medieval fortress erected in the 13th century on the western Murge plateau on the outskirts of the beautiful town Andria, along the Adriatic coast of southern Italy. Built on a hill 540 metres above sea level, the fortress of Castel del Monte in Andria is considered a brilliant example of medieval architecture, reflecting the humanistic culture and vast education of its founder, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily. The octagonal castle is surrounded by an octagonal tower at each corner. Mysterious and an almost inhumanly exact geometric shape, some theories claim that the octagon represented the union of the circle and the square. The octagonal layout gives Castel del Monte the configuration of an elegant stone crown, and is present in all the castle's rooms. There are eight rooms on the ground floor, and eight on the first floor. There are eight towers surrounding the building, all with an octagonal layout and each arranged on one of its eight corners. This obsessive recurrence of the number eight makes the fortress of Castel del Monte an esoteric place that has fascinated the best scholars for centuries. But the fortress has more mysteries for you to slowly discover during your visit. The building is accessed through the entrance portal, a large Arab-style arch with a Greco-Roman tympanum and Gothic double-arched windows. The light colour of the limestone and white marble façades also characterises the interior, now stripped of the decorations that once adorned it. The light illuminating the ground floor comes from eight single-arched windows located on each of the eight sides of the floor plan. The same number of windows can be found on the upper floor, with one small difference: seven windows are double arched, while only one, that facing Andria, is triple arched. You really cannot miss to visit it if you are in Apulia. #castle #fortress #apulia #italy #monument

Royal Palace of Caserta

Mentioned on 
+67 other lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Italy, the Royal Palace of Caserta stands as a magnificent testament to Baroque architecture and opulence. This sprawling palace, surrounded by lush gardens adorned with stunning fountains, was commissioned by Charles III of Bourbon as a rival to Versailles. Since its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, visitors have been captivated by its nearly 1,200 rooms filled with exquisite furnishings and breathtaking frescoes.
Amazing and impressive place; staggering the scale of it and how long it took to build, but not at all surprising when you see it. An absolute must to visit, it is the only way it can be truly appreciated. Over 1,200 rooms and about 40 metres tall! The gardens are absolutely huge and equally impressive, I recommend the minibus if you don't have so much time because you can easily spend a whole day walking around the entire property, but you do then miss out on the length of the run to the garden, especially you like taking pictures. Given the number of rooms, there's clearly a lot to see inside. Both areas contain a huge amount of creative items to see, like statues (mostly in the gardens) and paintings and other fixtures.
Stephen P — Google review
I think it’s one of Italy’s hidden gems. Such a lovely place with marvelous architecture and a beautiful garden. However, I believe it deserves more care and attention—the garden could be even more stunning than it currently is. The entrance ticket to the palace was €12 as of September 2025, with the last entry at 6 PM. After 5 PM, the fee is reduced to €5. The garden has a separate entrance fee of €3 and remains open until 7:30 PM. I highly recommend visiting this palace. It’s truly worth it!

I can't recommend it enough, it's astonishing. If I was to go back I'd visit the palace one day and the gardens another. I spent a whole day from 8:30 am to 4pm and I could have easily spent a few more hours just walking around soaking the beauty of the place, but I was tired and I had to get the bus back.

The Royal Palace of Caserta is a stunning 18th-century masterpiece, rivaling Versailles in scale and elegance. Designed by Luigi Vanvitelli for the Bourbon kings of Naples, it features lavish interiors, grand staircases, and expansive gardens with fountains and sculptures. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it offers a majestic glimpse into royal opulence and Italian artistry.
Marian G — Google review
A magnificent place that truly impresses with its scale and beauty! 🏛️ The palace resembles Versailles but with its own Italian charm — vast halls, marble staircases, frescoed ceilings, and beautifully preserved 18th-century furnishings. The park is especially breathtaking — an endless alley with fountains, cascades, and statues stretching for several kilometers. It’s best to allow at least 3–4 hours for a walk, and if you plan to reach the Grand Waterfall on foot, reserve the whole day. You can rent an electric cart or a bike, and if you’re visiting with a group, it’s convenient to take a small shuttle bus — just €5 per person. 🎟️ It’s best to buy tickets online to avoid queues. ☕ At the very end of the park, near the waterfall, there’s a cozy café where you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and relax after the walk. 📷 It’s also one of the most picturesque places in Campania for photography. Overall — an absolute must-visit if you’re in Naples or nearby. Historical grandeur, natural beauty, and a true sense of the past — all in one place. ⭐ Rating: 5/5

Grandiose structure (mostly empty) but the royal chambers (Piano nobile) are quite extensive and richly decorated and elegantly furnished. I enjoyed a 90 minute very informative guided tour in Italian (unfortunately with an excessive amount of Bourbon-era nostalgia... and no critical comment on the social costs of such bombastic projects and the sociopolitical effects of spatial distancing of royalty from the common folk in a guilded playground). I found this Reggia more elegant and pretty than the Quirinal and some other palaces in Italy (laden with austere or disproportionate displays of Baroque or mismatched styles or unfinished or unrestored works). Many similar palaces in Germany and Austria are however more elegant and aesthetically pleasing (they have also been restored to a supreme level of splendor and decadence by exceedingly generous government allocations in recent years). What recent administrations have done to restore the Reggia after decades of neglect is surely remarkable. The mixture of contemporary art with the original museum exhibits (after COVID) is not always very convincing: some combinations work fine but in other cases there is no real dialogue between works of art (the contemporary pieces - of differing quality and from a single collection linked to a recent natural disaster - seem put there very jarringly simply to respect the conditions of the donation, i.e. that they reach the widest public possible, and little concern for the dignity and harmony of the rooms' decor). Some works would work better in the empty exhibition spaces of the palace (even with baroque and neoclassical works included for comparison). But then you if you expand the exhibition spaces, you need to keep visitors there the whole day to visit the royal chambers and the rest of the museum. So you would need to attract families with children (with some technology exhibits, children's areas, etc.) and full day visitors (with a food court, performances in the gardens, picknic areas, horse riding...). I hope the site continues to develop into a mature and diversified tourist venue.

Not just a must see, an amazing experience! One of the most beautiful gardens i ve ever been in my life! You should definetely go there. You can skip the palace, its just another palace, but you should get to the garden! We ve made the one way on foot, and we came back with the bus. Its a reaaaaly long distance, so i would suggest you to rent a bicycle. it would be much more pleasant. If you get there at its opening time, you will have the garden for yourself!!!

The Royal Palace of Caserta is truly breathtaking. Built in the 18th century for the Bourbon kings and designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, it was meant to rival Versailles and you can really feel it. The rooms are grand and elegant, the monumental staircase is stunning, and the huge gardens with fountains and long water basins are spectacular. The history behind it, from its royal origins to its UNESCO recognition, makes the visit even more meaningful. Absolutely worth seeing if you’re in Campania!!!

Water & Amusement Parks
Zoomarine is a modern amusement park that offers a variety of entertainment for the entire family. Visitors can enjoy thrilling water tube rides and slides, as well as captivating dolphin and seal shows. While some attractions may be closed at times, the park provides an unforgettable adventure with its well-maintained facilities and friendly staff. It's recommended to arrive early to catch the shows and have time for relaxation and play throughout the day.
It's a good place for family to chill and have fun. Each shows has their own stadium and shedule which it is convenient not to missed (they pinned the schedule at the guide map nearby the stadiums). The shows includes seal, dolphins and parrots which, quite spectacular. As well as, a sitcom mascot (shows for kids). Additional, nearby seal shows stadium they have penguin and seal aquarium where you can watch them. I noticed photoshoot* available with penguins and dolphins (after the shows) Other than that, they have waterslides both big and small. Quite fun indeed. Apart from that, roller coaster and water coaster (was not available during the visit), that sure gives adrenaline rush. And, pirate boat water sprinkles suitable for kids and teens. The boat move slowly so it's safe. Extra, a 4D cinema which I think, very much suitable for kids viewer. Restaurants are available but kind a pricy. However, there's another options nearby - foodhut and cafe, which more affordable prices. Overall experience was good. However, I do feel the target market are more for young children and teens based on the activities and layout of the compounds. They're not too big so kids won't be lost easily. If they're lost, it's easy to find👍 🅿️The parking* was organised they have staff to arrange the allocation. 🎟️Price is very reasonable, we pay only for €13 promo price (original price was around €39+ sth per person) per person to entry for the whole day activities (exclude food&drinks). Check their website and Facebook page for available promo. 🕴️They have safety staff stationed at each water park/slides and pools. 🚾They provide changing room and shower area*. There's number of washrooms so there's no worry about waiting queue. ⚠️The downside, the place is very crowded (probably it was weekends). Perhaps during weekdays are much better to go so, be able to enjoy more of the water park. Footnote "*"charged services

This park was really good, despite there being very few rides, with most of them being either broken or in need of a refurb. Costs €5 extra to get into the Nintendo experience, so make sure you book online since my family didn't (somehow). The fact that Mario, Sonic, Harry Potter and Topo Gigio are incorporated into the park is amazing, especially since it attracts both English and Italian speaking tourists to the park. There needs to be more sunbeds and rides as well since there weren't many. I think the Zoomarine in the Algarve is a tad better as it has more space and more rides, and also has rides that are of better quality. I would definitely recommend this! Also, there needs to be more English on the signage, I can't speak or understand that much Italian as I'm an Irish tourist :)

Beautiful place, dolphins are so happy… however… seals need much more space. They seem very depressed and it’s not a good look for this park. They deserve a place where they can waddle, swim freely and relax.. the3x2metre cages they are in are not enough! The other aspects of the park are beautiful, the aquarium, butterfly atrium and rides are incredible and worth a visit. I really loved my time here but felt guilty to support a place where the seals are unhappy.. please respect your seals and make them as happy as the dolphins!

Great experience and lovely rides and shows. The place is really big so make sure you get there early and you have a lot of stamina as there are tons of things to do and see. You have to pay 5 euros for the car park, which we did not see in the prepaid tickets we bought online. Also, there are some awesome bundle packages online. The place is super clean and the kids loved it. The dolphin show is amazing but better still pay for the one on one sessions a bit more expensive but worth the price. Have fun!

Amazing park. The rides are amazing, they give Disneyland Paris vibes. Please go on the rollercoasters, they are exhilarating!!! Food can be expensive but OK in comparison to other shops in Rome.

Had a lovely day today. We were very pleasantly surprised. Good sized park, which was well maintained in most areas. Some slight attention to detail around weeding around some rides would improve this slightly but that is me just being picky. Food prices were ok for a theme park. 5 of us ate for just under €70 which would be very difficult to do in a UK theme park and notably drinks were ok too, €3.50 for a coke zero and €2 for water. The main reason for 4 out of 5 was due to a few rides being out of action. We wanted to go on the rapids and were told they would reopen but unfortunately didn't or if they did we missed it. Also the sky viewing platform ride was also shut.

We visited as two adults and really enjoyed the day. The park is very clean and beautifully maintained. There are a couple of really exciting attractions - especially Shock, which will definitely not leave you indifferent. The water rides are also a lot of fun - particularly Le Rapide, the round raft ride that gives you absolutely no chance of staying dry. 😅 A perfect mix of thrills and fun, highly recommended!

I dont know why i seen so many complaints about this place saying it's expensive or staff are rude i experienced the opposite of that. They where all friendly and happy and compared to theme park prices this place was very very cheap no long waits in the lines longest wait was for the horror stuff beside that everything else was like 3mins wait or less 100% would recommend this especially for a family

I spent the day at MagicLand with friends — we had fun, especially on the roller coasters! The park is nice and clean, but the lines were pretty long and food inside was pricey. Still, it’s a great option for a weekend trip near Rome.

The place itself is great and a lot of fun. It felt safe, and both the restrooms and different areas were clean. However, the pricing is tricky. Online tickets are supposed to be cheaper, but we never received the validation code for registration, so we couldn’t complete the online purchase. We were also charged extra items with the food we ordered, which didn’t feel fair. Additionally, not all staff members spoke English, or not at a sufficient level, which made communication difficult at times.

I had an amazing time at Magic Land! The park is full of fun attractions, and everything is so well-organized. The highlight of my visit was the fantastic show at the theater—absolutely enchanting! The New Year decorations and compositions were stunning and really created a magical holiday atmosphere. This place is perfect for families and anyone looking for unforgettable entertainment. Highly recommend!

Colosseum

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Colosseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheater, is a monumental 3-tiered Roman amphitheater located in the center of Rome. It has stood for over 2,000 years as a symbol of Ancient Rome's architectural ingenuity and engineering advancements. This iconic structure entertained more than 50,000 spectators with gladiatorial fights, mock sea battles, and exotic animal hunts for over 400 years.
It's definitely one of the must see place. It truly stands it's popularity and what a architectural masterpiece. I would definitely recommend buying tickets in advance or best way to do is via tour guide. You would need a photo ID to enter whether you are going by yourself or through tour guide. We enjoyed the entire experience and learning about how gladiators used to use this place. Untill I visited the place I never knew it's complexity and vastness. We travelled as a family with a child. We were told not to take pram as pathways are not smooth, but it's manageable. I would definitely recommend this place.

Was a great site to see while on tour around the Eternal City. They recently cleaned the facade of the building so the stone is now clean and bright. Its usually very crowded for most of the day unless you come early in the morning. The guides were very nice and gave us a lot of cool information about the history of the Colosseum. Definitely a great place to see at least once while visiting Rome.

We had 8:45 tickets and arrived at 8:15. Once it opened at 8:30 the line moved very well. When buying tickets you have to purchase the additional museums or sites at that time you can't add them on, so be aware. We missed out on several areas because you can't add them to your ticket, and can't purchase them at the location. The Colosseum was not what I expected. I expected a big sand center, and it is not that. But it was interesting. The archeological site is spectacular. We spent 4.5 hours in total and if you had the additional sites it would easily be a full day. I ran out of energy at about the time we finished. Our plan is always go to the right, the right, the right, so that you don't go down a path that leads you away from other things. In this case it paid off because there was an area to the right where you follow a faux wood boardwalk and it takes you under a road and all the way to an incredible obelisk. Many of the sites we have been to have paper maps, and yes you can use your phone but a paper map would have been really helpful.

This was cool. As a tourist from outside Italy this was a cool thing to do. We did a tour and our tour guide was excellent, highly recommend. Our tour guide was called Valerio and he knew so much history, for any question you had he had an answer to. Highly recommend doing a tour. This was a neat part of history to see in Italy and very cool to see it in person.

The Roman Colosseum is truly one of the world’s wonders , absolutely beautiful and completely spectacular to see in person. The amount of ancient history that took place there is incredible, and you can really feel it as you walk around. The lines can get pretty long, especially if you’re traveling with a group, but I was traveling solo and was able to slip through pretty quickly. Definitely recommend buying tickets ahead of time if you want to go inside. That said, it’s also really easy (and free!) to explore the outside, which is just as impressive. An unforgettable experience and a must-see when in Rome. #ruins #world wonder
Rachel F — Google review
It's exactly what you would expect. Beautiful and historic. We went earlier in the morning. Walked right in before the crowds. Buy your tickets in advance as they do sell out. We did the arena floor tickets and were able to spend over the time inside as I wasn't too busy yet. This ticket also comes with the Palatine Hill area as well which is a huge site of historical buildings and a museum you can walk through. Well worth your time. Make sure you budget a few hours for this walk but it's definitely worth it to see.

Unforgettable — The Heart of Ancient Rome The Colosseum is one of those places that takes your breath away the moment you see it. Standing in front of this massive structure, you can’t help but imagine the gladiators, the roaring crowds, and the unbelievable history held within those stone walls. Inside, the scale is even more impressive. Walking through the arches and looking down into the arena feels surreal — like stepping into a completely different world. The guided audio or a tour is absolutely worth it; you learn so many details you’d never know just by walking around. Tip: Book your ticket in advance and go early in the morning to avoid long lines. The combined ticket with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill is an amazing deal and helps you understand the whole story of ancient Rome. This is not just another tourist attraction — it’s a masterpiece of engineering, history, and culture. If you’re in Rome, the Colosseum is an absolute must-see. Truly iconic.

Incredible place, if you imagine how it is, and how big it is. Gladiators in the past was fighting here to stay alive , and for Caesar and rich people to have fun. It's huge building around 2000 years old build in less than 50 years. Capacity was around 50 000 people , and it was possible to fullfiled it with water , how amazing ! Majestic architecture , it is "must be" to see it ! Buy ticket for ship.the line :)

Pantheon

Mentioned on

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Pantheon, a temple built in 118-125 A.D., is one of Rome's most iconic and well-preserved ancient Roman monuments. Originally dedicated to all deities, it now serves as a Catholic church. The structure features a dome and Renaissance tombs, including that of Raphael. Visitors are often impressed by its peculiar design, myths, and stories related to the hole in its roof and special astronomical light effects.
An amazing structure from early Roman days. Such a well preserved artefact in the heart of Rome. Although it is very busy and touristy around the pantheon most days, we would still recommend everyone to make time during their stay in Rome and visit this incredible site. The structure is truly phenomenal with such incredible detail. That it has survived for so many years is a true testament to the architecture and the build of this incredible and fascinating structure. Lineups can be long to get inside but well worth the wait. There are several wonderful little cafés in the area where you can sit and enjoy a coffee or even a beer or wine while you admire The Pantheon while enjoying a drink or a snack. We would highly recommend The Pantheon to be a part of your visit in Rome. Paul and Andrea Canada 🇨🇦

One of the most unique underrated structures in the entire world. Unreinforced concrete dome that is near perfect sphere. No documentary does this place any justice. You must see it in person and experience the grandeur of standing inside and seeing it firsthand. Worth every cent and the time taking in the moment. I am still in awe that I visited it and spent some time inside, I will never forget my trip to Rome because of this amazing structure.

The Pantheon truly impressed me. Stepping inside and seeing the oculus lighting the interior felt surreal. The building is incredibly well-preserved and beautifully balanced. Even with the crowds, it felt peaceful. Entry now costs 5 euros, but the experience is absolutely worth it. One of Rome’s most unforgettable landmarks.

The Pantheon is absolutely breathtaking. Standing inside this perfectly preserved ancient temple feels like stepping back in time — the scale, the symmetry, and especially the oculus are truly awe-inspiring. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere remains powerful and serene. It’s one of Rome’s most impressive landmarks and an absolute must-see. A masterpiece of history and architecture!

A must visit when in Rome. An architectural masterpiece. Being incredibly well maintained, One is able to see the Pantheon as the Roman’s would have seen it in their time. Pictures don’t do it justice. I would recommend getting their early morning 9am so you beat the crowds. The audio guide (most languages) is available once you are inside. At 10 euro it is fantastic value as it gives a great understanding of all things about the Pantheon. Entry is quite cheap too, you can cover it all in an hour!

The Pantheon is an absolute masterpiece,breathtaking in every sense. The moment you step inside and look up at that majestic dome with the open oculus, you’re left in pure awe. It’s incredible to think that this structure has stood strong for nearly 2,000 years! The harmony of light, space, and symmetry is simply magical. Whether you love history, architecture, or just beauty itself — the Pantheon is a must-visit. Truly one of the most inspiring places on Earth.

I was passing by and saw this place, the Pantheon, which is quite a sight! 🏛️ It was a bit crowded for my taste, making it hard to move around, but the historical architecture is certainly impressive. ✨ If you don't mind the bustling atmosphere, it's worth a look. 😉 I appreciated the grandeur of the building. 🤩

Piazza Navona

Mentioned on 
+143 other lists 
Plaza
Sights & Landmarks
Piazza Navona is a stunning square in Rome with a rich history dating back to the 1st century A.D. It was originally the site of Domitian Stadium, built to introduce Greek-style athletics and sports to the Roman public. However, it fell into disuse over time and was transformed into a beautiful Baroque piazza in the 17th century under Pope Innocent X.
Piazza Navona: A Breathtaking Baroque Masterpiece and Dining Heaven! Piazza Navona is, quite simply, breathtaking. This stunning square is a true masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. The elegant, elongated shape (built on the foundations of the ancient Stadium of Domitian!) is beautiful in itself, but the centerpiece, Bernini's magnificent Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers), is what makes the view truly special and picturesque. It’s the perfect place to sit, soak up the vibrant Roman atmosphere, and admire the beautiful Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. As someone who loves great food and appreciates a quality dining experience, I can happily confirm that the area around the piazza is packed with great restaurants. Don't be fooled by the tourist location; wandering just off the main square will lead you to some incredible trattorias and enotecas. You can find everything from authentic Roman classics to wonderful places to enjoy an aperitivo with a truly majestic backdrop. Whether you're visiting for the art, the history, or a memorable meal with a picturesque view, Piazza Navona delivers on all fronts. This is Rome at its finest!
Nathan C — Google review
Piazza Navona is a truly stunning square and one of the most beautiful spots in Rome. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, with artists painting, street musicians playing, and visitors filling the cafes. The centerpiece is the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers. It's an absolute masterpiece of sculpture that you can just walk right up to. The other fountains complete the picture-perfect scene. It's the perfect place for a leisurely stroll, to people-watch, or to simply sit on a bench and enjoy. The energy is infectious, making it a must-visit piazza that captures the heart of Rome.
Khalid A — Google review
A very nice piazza. It was built over The Stadium of Domitian which was used for athletic competition. There are many nice stores and cafes. The 3 fountains, Fountain of the Moor, Fountain of Neptune and the Fountain of Four Rivers are beautiful. A great area to site see and have lunch or a drink. Well worth a visit if you are in Rome.
Robert U — Google review
A beautiful site that everyone must see. We arrived at 9am and the piazza was really quiet. Take some time to walk between the three fountains and take in the architecture. If you are heading on to some of the churches in Rome but are ill equipped and need a scarf to cover yourself, don’t be tempted to buy from the little shops here. They charge €10 for a small scarf and you can find them for c. €3 in other shops.

Built on the elongated perimeter of the ancient Domitian Stadium, known as “Circo Agonalis,” where gymnastic competitions took place, Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful and famous squares in Rome with its showy fountains, baroque palazzi, and colorful cast of street artists. My partner, our friends, family member, and I visited this spot in September during our golf cart tour. Since it was refurbished by Pope Innocent X, it has been a gathering spot for people from all over Rome and all walks of life, and it continues to be so to this day. At its center stands Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi), completed in 1651. This dynamic sculpture represents the four great rivers of the known continents at the time—the Nile, the Ganges, the Danube, and the Río de la Plata—each embodied by a powerful figure surrounding an ancient Egyptian obelisk. Two other fountains adorn the piazza: the Fontana del Moro at the southern end, depicting a Moor wrestling a dolphin, and the Fontana del Nettuno at the northern end, featuring Neptune battling a sea creature. Together, these fountains create a harmonious rhythm across the square, uniting art, mythology, and the musical sound of water. The church of Sant’Agnese in Agone added so much charm to the scene. The best part was no entrance fee, no crowds, just a short line. Once one steps inside, the interior is a feast for the eyes. Rich marble work, ornate gold details, and stunning frescoes create an atmosphere of grandeur and devotion. Whether one's stopping by during the day or in the evening, the space itself feels like stepping into an open-air museum—full of charm and atmosphere.
Eloy Y — Google review
A very pleasant place. There are many tourists here, but it still feels very spacious. I encourage you to visit the square at different times of day — the light beautifully complements and shapes the atmosphere of this place. You can sit on the benches around the square or by the fountains and simply take it all in. In the afternoon, there are more people selling things illegally. The mornings are definitely calmer…

Piazza Navona instantly became one of my favorite spots in Rome. The Baroque fountains, lively cafés, and street artists create an amazing atmosphere.

Trevi Fountain

Mentioned on

Fountain
Sights & Landmarks
Trevi Fountain is a stunning rococo fountain in Rome, designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762. The fountain features sculpted figures and is fed by an aqueduct. Its dramatic design includes an imperious sculpture of Oceanus commanding rushing waters. The location of the fountain adds to its unique drama, as it is squeezed into the confluence of three streets, which may have inspired its name 'Trevi' from 'tre vie.'
Absolutely Magical — A Roman Must-See The Trevi Fountain is every bit as stunning as people say—maybe even more. The moment you turn the corner and see it, the whole scene feels like a movie. The sound of the water, the incredible sculptures, the glow of the marble… it’s pure Roman magic. Yes, it gets crowded, but the atmosphere is part of the charm. Everyone is excited, tossing coins and making little wishes. I threw my coin in too—because who doesn’t want to come back to Rome? If you want the best experience, visit early in the morning or late at night. In the evening, the fountain lights make it look even more beautiful, and the crowds are calmer. Perfect for photos and just taking in the moment. Whether you’re in Rome for a day or a week, the Trevi Fountain is a must. It’s one of those places that reminds you why people fall in love with this city.

One of the most beautiful things and place what I've ever seen in my life . This place is majestic, phenomenal and unforgettable.

Everybody have to see it minimally once per life ! Amazing , amazing, amazing

The Trevi Fountain absolutely exceeded my expectations. Its sheer size and detail are breathtaking, especially with the sound of rushing water echoing around the square. I joined everyone in tossing a coin for luck, it’s impossible not to. Even with the crowds, the atmosphere feels magical and unmistakably Roman.

Yes, it's beautiful, but unfortunately the chaos surrounding this place makes it much less attractive. There's so many people (like almost everywhere), it's impossible to relax and enjoy this beauty. The experience is more like: quick, let's try to make a picture and leave. While in Rome I went there several times and during several periods of the day and it was always packed. I even check the webcams once at 2am and there were still people there!
Sidónio S — Google review
Absolutely beautiful, and obviously VERY busy hot-spot for tourists! The only thing that ruins it is rude, entitled influencer/ tourists that block the visit/ view for everyone else, selfishly taking photos and selfies for over 20 minutes. However, this doesn't detract from the stunning monument and it's attraction for Rome! You can queue (average 1-1.5 hours) to get closer to the fountain if you have time.
Claireabella C — Google review
The fountain is really beautiful. We came in the evening on a rainy day, and luckily there were not that many people. They seemed to allow people to get closer to the fountain in the lower floor every now and then. We didn’t wait for it since the view from the ground floor was already good enough.

A dream come true! We went during the day and returned at night to enjoy one of the most magnificent fountains in Rome! Wonderful family experience while touring Itay! This was one of the highlights we were looking forward to and superseded our expectations!
Rolando G — Google review
The Trevi Fountain is a stunning, must-see landmark in Rome, celebrated for its magnificent Baroque design and intricate sculptures. However, its popularity means it is almost always crowded, making it difficult to get close during peak hours. Visitors recommend tossing a coin to ensure a return to Rome, but suggest visiting very early in the morning or late at night to enjoy the fountain's grandeur with fewer people.

Villa d'Este

Mentioned on

$$$$very expensive
National museum
Villa d'Este is a 16th-century cardinal's villa located in Tivoli, a popular day trip from Rome. The town has historical significance as a residential and resort area for wealthy ancient Romans, popes, and cardinals. The villa was built by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este at the foot of Monti Tiburtini and is known for its elaborate hillside gardens with fountains and grottoes.
Villa d’Este is a must see in Tivoli. It is a wonderful place to visit, tranquil and beauty is around every corner. It is not somewhere to rush around but to relax and enjoy. There are so many fountains and pools to see, not to mention the stunning trees, planting and stunning views. Well worth the €10 entry.

⛲️ Absolutely gorgeous gardens and fountains that are gravity powered! We spent a good three hours here just roaming and taking everything in. We took so many photos! The light and views are spectacular. Very serene and peaceful place. Tivoli is very beautiful too. Definitely worth the 30min uber drive from Rome. We bought our tickets online a week before.

I visited last weekend 18th Oct and would recommend coming after October 23rd only because there’s no water running through the famous cascades and pools during this period. Even so, the villa and gardens remain impressive for their architecture, perspectives and atmosphere. If possible, plan your visit between 3 and 6:00 pm, the light is softer, perfect for photos and the crowds are noticeably smaller. Despite the absence of water, the site still offers a fascinating glimpse into Renaissance grandeur and is definitely worth seeing at least once.

Beautiful grounds. I would have given 5 stars but the water was shut off for maintenance or perhaps for the season when we went in October . I looked on line the night before visiting to see if it was posted on the website which it was not. You don’t get to capture the full beauty without the fountains. Beauty to see inside ! I would suggest going when fountains are on!
Michelle H — Google review
Fantastic villa and gardens - a peaceful oasis. We could only imagine what it must be like when the 200 fountains are functioning! Our misfortune to visit during a 2 week maintenance window... However, still worth wandering the paths, listening to birdsong and enjoying the gardens.

I am not sure how we found the villa as a destination for our Rome trip. Probably social media video somewhere. But boy we are so happy to spend a day here. We did not spent much in the museum part, but just walking up and down the garden, going to every fountain, taking pictures. Absoltely, breathtakingly beautiful. Must see. In late October when we were visiting, the Sun is setting along the main axis of the fountains, shining and orange glow over the park. Makes it difficult to take some photos, but help is many other way.

Make sure to purchase the audio guide from the ticket office. This villa was a wonderful experience. Make sure to give yourself a couple of hours for the gardens alone.

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Marmore Falls, also known as Cascata dell Marmore, is a remarkable ancient sight consisting of three sections and standing as the tallest man-made waterfall in the world at an impressive 165 meters. Built by the Romans in 271 BC, it was created by diverting the waters of the Velino River to drain the marshy basin of Rieti. This engineering marvel provided arable land for legionnaires after their service.
Very nice experience, with different routes available and different levels of difficulty so anyone can enjoy a good view of the falls.

Absolutely breathtaking and worth the trip. There are paths that make it fairly easy to walk up to view the various falls (you will get wet!). The temperature drops ten degrees when you reach the parking lot, which is an incredible treat in summer. Be sure to stay to see the falls turn off at 1pm or back on again at 3. Plenty of parking. The bus terminal is a little tricky to find in Terni. It’s not the main Terni station but is around the corner to the left after you walk out the front entrance of the station. There’s a dedicated shuttle just for the falls, but pay attention to times, or you’ll end up needing a taxi to get back to Terni (speaking from experience!).

Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
The Papal Basilica and Sacred Convent of Saint Francis in Assisi is an iconic Gothic church and a major Christian pilgrimage site. This UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of the Upper Basilica and the Lower Basilica, adorned with medieval art. The basilica also features smaller chapels like those dedicated to St Mary Magdalene and St Louis of Toulouse. It's recommended to use an audio guide to explore the rich history behind this impressive structure.
Breathtaking views inside - out! Sublime architecture and a sheer joy to witness it all. No tickets required. The tomb of the Saint Francis can be easily viewed, although no photos are allowed to be taken inside the burial chamber. There’s a souvenir shop within the building, plenty of restaurants around the Basilica could be spotted too. Be careful which one you are going to as they aren’t Michelin star restaurants. If Gordon Ramsey gets there; he’ll definitely close the whole road where they are located, not just one. The Car park is massive, so don’t you worry about parking.

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

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

Don’t forget when you enter, there is a prayer paper that we can take and write, so that later we can bring it to the tomb area of St. Francis, and we give to the brothers here to pray. Then don’t forget after shopping at the souvenir shop, bring it to the blessing section near the exit.

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

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

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

Grotte di Frasassi - Parcheggio e Biglietteria

Mentioned on

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

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

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

Museum
Aquarium of Cattolica, also known as Acquario Di Cattolica, is a large sea life center located at the far western end of Cattolica's coastline. It features an impressive collection of marine and land animals housed in 100 tanks and enclosures. Visitors can enjoy feeding times for sharks, stingrays, penguins, otters, and other species while following color-coded routes that lead through different animal enclosures.
The Aquarium of Cattolica is an amazing place to visit! It’s well-maintained, with a fantastic variety of marine life beautifully displayed. The exhibits are educational and engaging for all ages, making it perfect for families. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the experience with interesting facts and care. The facility is clean and easy to explore, with plenty of interactive areas for kids. Highly recommend for a fun and educational day out!
Ivana ( — Google review
Overall it was a good experience. However, we were (due to numerous reviews) expecting a bit more animals/things to see. E.g. we visited the yellow path in 5 min, definitely something that could be merged into another path or perhaps extended. Parking cost us 5 euros and I am afraid we even landed in the wrong one (on the hotel side). Not sure if the other parking (larger) had the same price. Advice to buy tickets in advance cause they are cheaper and you avoid waiting time jn the cashiers
Mat C — Google review
Good program if it's raining. The aquarium wasn't bad at all, it just wasn't that good. The sooner you buy tickets online, the cheaper. Definitely buy tickets online, because then you don't have to wait 30+ minutes in the queue. The shark are the main attraction and you'll understand why, they're massive and scary 😂 ideal trip for families as there are also dinosaurs, otters etc.

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

Italia in Miniatura

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

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

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

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

Surrounded by the picturesque hiking trails of the Berchtesgaden Alps, this destination offers a serene escape in nature. The area also features family-run hotels offering cozy rooms and delicious Bavarian and international cuisine.
This lake which is around 2 hours from Munich is beautiful and worth to pay visit during the summers. The water here is very clear and provides a clear reflection which makes this place even more picturesque between the magnificent mountains surrounding the National Park. Through boat ride only you can travel inside the lake and explore various sceneic routes, it costs only 22 Euros to and fro.

The most unforgettable palce in Germany. I visited this place in October. You can take boat and hearing the horn sounds while taking the boat to explore the lake view.
Anonymous — Google review
This was our second visit to Königssee after eight years – and the lake still amazes us just as much ☺️ The boat ride is a fantastic experience – maybe not the cheapest, but definitely worth it. On the way, the guide explains everything in both German and English, and one of the highlights is when they play the trumpet and the sound echoes back beautifully from the mountains – a truly unique moment. We recommend stopping at St. Bartholomä, and then continuing by boat to Salet, from where you can walk to Obersee and further to Röthbachfall, Germany’s highest waterfall. The scenery along the way is absolutely stunning – Königssee is one of those places you’ll always want to return to.
Daria D — Google review
No doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Bavaria, a boat ride across the lake and lunch on the far side. The location is extremely popular, the parking area alone is huge, I imagine it serves other activity points as well. Very touristy on the approach to the ferry jetties, loads of souvenir shops and restaurants/ food outlets. Around lunchtime boats leave every five minutes, we had no waiting time, we bought a ticket and hopped straight onto the next ferry. Everything was highly efficient. Loved it.

Fortress

Perched on a hilltop with commanding views of the city and the Alps, Fortress Hohensalzburg is an impressive 11th-century complex that draws in over 1.4 million visitors annually. To avoid the crowds, it's best to arrive early and take a glass funicular or embark on a steep 20-minute walk up Festungsgasse in the Old Town to reach this iconic landmark.
Great view but you need to pay extra to go to the tower (which we didn’t). Still absolutely worth visiting while you’re in Salzburg. You can skip the line if you buy or get tickets upfront (we got them from our hotel).
Stevo T — Google review
Very nice fortress overlooking the city of Salzburg. You get some magnificent view from up there. You also have the opportunity to got to the top of the fortress and get a full 360 degree view of the region. They have some nice museums and displays inside the fortress. Definitely worth it to spend some good amount of time. Even if you are here for short time, it would recommend 1.5hr just to walk through the entire area.

Bought the entrance and funicular train ticket and it's a enjoyable trip up the hill to the castle. Plenty of stuff to see in the fortress and also great view of Salzburg city from the top of the castle. Really beautiful scenery and we don't want to leave but had to rush to find the train station as we need to catch the 12pm Hallstatt tour.
Ai C — Google review
We visited the Fortress Hohensalzburg and had a memorable experience. We didn’t know about the funicular to go up, so we walked all the way — a great cardio workout and a nice way to enjoy the surroundings. 🏰 The fortress itself is beautiful and very well preserved, offering a fascinating glimpse into Salzburg’s history. The museum inside is truly impressive, with excellent exhibits that make the visit even more enriching. 🌄 The highlight, however, is the breathtaking view from the top. Looking out over Salzburg and the surrounding mountains is simply unforgettable. ✅ Overall, Fortress Hohensalzburg is a must-see attraction in Salzburg. Whether you take the funicular or walk up, the combination of history, architecture, and stunning scenery makes it well worth the visit.

Truly beautiful, must see spot in Salzburg. Definitely recommend the panaromic view from the fortress tower.

Additionally, it houses a small timber rafting museum, showcasing the city's history of transporting materials and passengers.

(Translated by Google) Church of St. Jošta is located in the historic center of Český Krumlov, not far from the Vltava River and the castle grounds. It was founded in the 14th century as part of a hospital for the sick and pilgrims, which was established by the Rosenberg family. Originally a Gothic building, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. After the church was abolished in 1787 by Josef II. the building served various purposes – as a theater, apartments or a museum. The church has preserved many original architectural elements, including a tower with a baroque miner. Church of St. Jošta is a unique example of the transformation of a sacred building into a cultural space and reminds of the rich history and changing functions of historical buildings in the center of Český Krumlov. (Original) Kostel sv. Jošta se nachází v historickém centru Českého Krumlova, nedaleko Vltavy a zámeckého areálu. Byl založen ve 14. století jako součást špitálu pro nemocné a poutníky, který zřídil rod Rožmberků. Původně gotická stavba byla v 18. století přestavěna v barokním stylu. Po zrušení kostela v roce 1787 Josefem II. sloužil objekt různým účelům – jako divadlo, byty nebo muzeum. Kostel si zachoval mnoho původních architektonických prvků, včetně věže s barokní bání. Kostel sv. Jošta je unikátní ukázkou proměny sakrální stavby v kulturní prostor a připomíná bohatou historii a měnící se funkce historických budov v centru Českého Krumlova.

(Translated by Google) While visiting Český Krumlov, you will come across the St. Jost Church, which attracts attention with its historical texture, on the banks of the Vltava River. Built in the 14th century, this structure was used as a chapel attached to the castle hospital. It was later converted into a church and named after St. Jost, who was considered the protector of travelers and patients in the Middle Ages. It is not an active church today; its interior is generally closed to visitors, but its exterior architecture and location are quite impressive. This small but historical structure, built with a combination of Gothic and Baroque architecture, is definitely worth seeing, even though it is overshadowed by the more well-known tourist attractions in the city. There is a wonderful view from right in front of the church, where you can fit the castle tower, the Vltava River and the red-roofed houses of the town into the same frame. With the light in the early morning or close to sunset, this area turns into a postcard. (Original) Český Krumlov’u gezerken Vltava Nehri kıyısında, tarihi dokusuyla dikkat çeken St. Jost Kilisesi karşınıza çıkacak. 14. yüzyılda inşa edilen bu yapı, zamanında şato hastanesine bağlı bir şapel olarak kullanılmış. Daha sonra kiliseye dönüştürülmüş ve adını, Orta Çağ’da yolcuların ve hastaların koruyucusu kabul edilen Aziz Jost’tan almış. Bugün aktif bir kilise değil; içi ziyarete genellikle kapalı, ancak dış mimarisi ve bulunduğu konum oldukça etkileyici. Gotik ve barok mimarinin birleşimiyle yapılmış bu küçük ama tarihi yapı, şehirdeki daha bilinen turistik yerlerin gölgesinde kalsa da kesinlikle görülmeye değer. Kilisenin hemen önünden şato kulesi, Vltava Nehri ve kasabanın kırmızı çatılı evlerini aynı kareye sığdırabileceğiniz harika bir manzara var. Sabah erken saatlerde veya gün batımına yakın ışıkla birlikte bu alan adeta bir kartpostala dönüşüyor.

The Frauenkirche Dresden is a stunning Baroque church that was reconstructed and reconsecrated in 2005 after being destroyed during World War II. It is part of the magnificent architectural ensemble in Dresden, often referred to as 'The Florence on the Elbe,' which includes the Semper Opera House, Zwinger, Royal Palace, Cathedral St. Trinitatis (Hofkriche), and Castle Pillnitz.
This church is majestic and feels like a center piece of the city. The surrounding area with the church makes this place very picturesque. There is a called rubble from the past that is kept next to the church which is a nice little touch. This is definitely a must visit site in Dresden

We visited as it’s our last day, it’s pretty impressive how much money, time, and effort to rebuild all these historic buildings, including this Church of our Lady. Inside still haven’t had much to see but still nice to visit. Free entry but if you wish to climb up to the viewing tower over 100 steps then have a fee.

Church entrance is free. It’s gorgeous inside. If you want to climb up the dome, you need to go around the back. I think it was €12 entrance. The views are great from the top. There are a good few steps going up to start and then there is a ramp around the dome which makes it far easier to ascend.

Brilliant history! In the final days of WWII, the whole city was bombed including this church which was a very important part of Dresden. Following the reunification of German, it was rebuilt using some of the original stone! The building is incredible and there is a stunning view from the top. A must visit!

Frauenkirche Dresden, A symbol of peace and rebirth. Destroyed during World War II and rebuilt from its original stones, the Church of Our Lady stands today as a powerful reminder of faith, resilience, and hope. Its magnificent dome shines once again over the heart of Dresden

It's free to walk into the main part of the church where you can see the beautiful interior, and 10€ per person to climb to the top of the church. The stairs are pretty easy most of the way up, and up until after you finish walking up a big sloped ramp near the end you must also get up some VERY steep and skinny stairs (so beware, if you're a claustrophobe or don't like heights). But the view of Dresden is so worth it if you do it.

The magnificent Frauenkirche! When I last visited decades ago, the church was nothing but a pile of rubble—or more accurately, a heap of stones—serving as a stark reminder of the devastation of war. Reconstruction began in 1994, and on October 30, 2005, it was officially reopened. The church hall is impressively tall and richly decorated. You can climb up to the dome, but we didn’t have time for that on this visit. I’m sure the views from up there—both into the church and across Dresden—are breathtaking. If you only have time to visit one attraction in Dresden, I’d choose the Frauenkirche.

We came for a Mozart concert. It was fabulous. This rebuild baroque church is bright and beautifully grand. It holds around 3000 guests and is decorated with much gold and adornments.The seats were comfortable not like other old churches.it was warm and without drafts.
