We just wanted to see how beautiful these crystals display. We did not buy anything from them, too bad for them. But the way they arranged their display, even on the way to exit, they enticed visitors with various pricing range to make sure that they would get something from them. Nevertheless, it's still worth a visit to see various crystals, such ones in marvel movies, Donald Duck etc. The display at ground floor (first enter) is €€€ above but the ones at 2nd floor is more affordable and attractive.

Visiting the Swarovski store in Innsbruck, Austria, is a must for any crystal lover. The store itself is beautifully designed, creating a luxurious atmosphere to browse their stunning collection. You'll find a wide array of sparkling jewelry, home décor, and accessories, all showcasing the brand's signature brilliance. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall shopping experience. If you're in Innsbruck, a trip to Swarovski is a dazzling experience!

Great place to visit and easy walk. The presentation is very nice throughout the museum. Plus point, entry is free with Innsbruck Card

Crystals are everywhere and epic things which made up of crystals. Watching all this gives calmness to my eyes but my heart says buy something😜 from Swarovski. I saw not only one dress which wore by Ananya pande but also many other things and characters from Disney. Totally worth it.

The store is upstairs with a wide range of collection similar to the one in crystal world , not just jewelry, i had the pleasure to be dealt with the beautiful lady ( Laila ) she has her own unique way in marketing with her beautiful smile , thanks a lot Laila for the special gift too

The staff were so nice! I bought a ring yesterday but realised it was too big once i cut off the rubber that tied it to the packaging. So i headed in to exchange my ring today. The exchange process was really easy and the staff were happy to help. I went in with my ring in M size, the original packaging and the receipt. And i tried on the S size ring with the help of a staff. Then i just brought the S size ring to the cashier and explained the need for a change in size. The exchange was super quick, took less than 10 mins altogether! Really thankful for the experienced staff and the helpful service!

Worth a look inside even if you're not buying anything. £25k Disney sets and more!

The waterfalls were beautiful, but the hike itself is quite challenging, with only steep paths. Along the way there are several viewpoints where you can enjoy stunning views of the falls, but the view from the top was actually a bit disappointing. Reaching the top is more about the feeling of accomplishment than the view itself. It’s a very touristy spot, with several nice souvenir shops to browse.

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

The most beautiful waterfall I ever saw in my life! Try to visit during sunny day, so you can see multiple Rainbow 🤩 There is a hike to the top of the fall, we reached mid way ( kiosk ) and it think this is the most scenic part

Waterfalls are spectacular! So many great views and places where you can almost touch them. Wish to had more time to explore Krimml trails on the top of the waterfalls.

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

Breathtaking waterfall with amazing views at every level. Well-marked trails, fresh alpine air, and the sound of rushing water make it unforgettable. A must-see in Austria! Entry 9 euro per person and 🅿️ also payable and easy to allocate near the entrance 🅿️ 4&5

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

Must be seen, parking available till 10 am after that not so much. Prices in bar and restaurant little bit high but food is excellent

Great hike! Easy, and paths are made well. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look

Amazing place but I would not recommend the climb for people with reduced mobility or small children. Highly recommended bringing your own food, there are places to eat on the bottom of the place next to the parking lot but they want 23 euros for a hotdog and 5 euros for a coke. Absolutely outrageous

Highly recommended to visit. Very beautiful place for nature lovers

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. Easy 15 minute walk to the falls. Beautiful!

Great for children for all ages. Difficultly of the row is medium for lazy people 🫣

Parking ticket for the daily is 10euros if you park close by the hiking trail entrance. The waterfalls are so nice!!! to get to the top is 55 min . It’s totally worth it! They also have amazing food and drinks at entrance!

Stunning monastery on the rolling hills with a beautiful vineyard and shop for wine and fresh produce. Wine tasting and guided trip and visit highly recommended

The guided tour is super interesting! Some of the murals have been just recently uncovered, and the library collection is incredible. It might feel a little rushed at first but you then get unlimited time to go back through the sites.

Beautiful and historical Abbey surrounded by winyards. ABBEY happily makes wine and takes booze profit from visitors. How spiritual!

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

I absolutely adore this place on earth ❤️ It's so beautiful, the monastery is very wonderful and has its own atmosphere. The surrounding nature is fantastic.

This has to be the most beautiful vineyard property in Europe. Obviously that is saying a lot. The wine is quite good especially the Lagrein Reserve. A must visit for anyone interested in vineyards and wine.

A well spent hour at this beautiful Abbey. Very beautiful the surroundings, lots of beautiful works of art including the library. Be careful that the last entry is 16, that you get the free entrance with the Brixen Card, in some days the garden is closed and that the parking is free

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

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

Val Gardena offers breathtaking alpine scenery that captivates at every turn. Towering Dolomite peaks, lush meadows, and winding trails create a paradise for nature lovers. Whether hiking, skiing, or simply admiring the views, the landscape is serene and majestic. It’s a perfect escape into the heart of natural beauty.

Beautiful City with many attractions, hiking close by, views and artistic shops.

Monte Pana to Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) - Length: 7 km (one way) - Duration: 2-3 hours - Starting Point: Monte Pana This gentle hike takes you through lush meadows and forests, offering panoramic views of the Alpe di Siusi and the surrounding Dolomites. 2.

It's a destination that invites you to disconnect from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of the Dolomites.

Nice place to stay during vacation,a lot of good restaurant and wonderful natural view

In my opinion, this is one of the top 3 landscapes to see in Italy. My partner and I walked around the lake, which is 3.8 km long. At times there were quite a lot of people, even forming small queues, but for most of the route we could walk at our own pace. Tip: if the mountain views at the starting point don’t seem that impressive, it’s better to walk around the lake clockwise rather than counterclockwise. This way, the most beautiful part of the scenery will be towards the end of the walk, and your photos will turn out better.

Nice small lake and good views of the surrounding moutains. But in my opinion nothing out of the ordinary - its just a mountain lake and a very commercialised one. You can rent boats for 45min which will cost 55€ and parking is also 15€. The path around the lake is very crowded as well. I think there are more beautiful and especially more calm lakes in the dolomites that would be worth your time and money.

Lago di Braies is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by majestic mountains looks like something out of a postcard. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful walk, a boat ride, or just relaxing and taking in the view. Every angle is stunning, especially in the early morning or at sunset. The air feels so fresh and calm—it’s pure magic. A must-see spot in the Dolomites that you’ll never forget!

Best lake in the Dolomites in Italy and a MUST visit. It is also referred to as 'The pearl of the Dolomites'. Circular route around this magical mountain lake is a great experience for young and old because the entire hiking trail is safe and well marked. Walking distance from bus stop and car parking.

Gloomy day for us but still breathtaking views. Rented a row boat and bopped around the lake for a bit before grabbing a bite and heading out. Plan your trip accordingly, it can be crazy during the busy months. Do your research!

Taken last 11th of November 2025, very worth it. Inlove with the view, hopefully to see this beauty as well on Summer and Spring. ❤️ 💙 💜

Gorgeous turquoise lake that reminds me of lake Louise in banff Canada. Rented a row boat for 55€ that includes 2 magnets and 45 minutes of row time. It was pretty windy with a slight drizzle when we arrived at 5:30pm. Last boat is at 7pm. There was a slight wait but we didn’t wait too long to get on the lake

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

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

Beautiful lake with easy walk around it. You can get there by car (paid parking) Even with the bad weather upcoming it gave some nice effects on the pictures… Recommend for an easy stop and enjoy beauty of nature & its colors!

We visited here on a very sunny day. The lake was an emerald green and very beautiful, but the photo spots were quite crowded with people.

We visited Lago di Carezza, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites. The water shines in shades of green and reflects the forest and mountains around it, giving the place a magical feel. Parking is easy and costs €6 for 1-2 hours, which is fair for such a stunning spot. A calm and lovely stop, well worth visiting if you’re in the area.

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

Simply breathtaking! An easy walk around the lake with stunning views and mind-blowing colors. You can drive there (paid parking), and while the lake was shallow, the reflections of the clouds made it absolutely worth the visit!

You can get English or Italian audio guide to the museum which locates downstairs of a bar. The layout of the display cabinets were a bit confusing but the audios were very detailed. It was interesting and worth spending part of the afternoon there. After the museum, I suggest the outdoor seating at the bar because it has one of the most stunning views of River Brenta from there.

You can buy the tickets in the cafeteria and visit the museum downstairs to learn about the history of the Alpini

Very informative good exhibits

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

(Translated by Google) A beautiful museum that tells the story of the Alpine troops. The museum entrance is inside the tavern, where tickets are available for €3. At the entrance, you can download an app with a museum guide. A must-see if you're visiting Bassano! (Original) Bellissimo museo che racconta la storia degli alpini. L’entrata del museo è all’interno della taverna dove si possono acquistare i biglietti a 3 euro. All’ingresso si può scaricare una app con la guida del museo. Assolutamente da visitare se si visita Bassano!

(Translated by Google) Small museum to access you pass through the bar where you buy tickets for 3 euros. You go down one floor and enter this small museum but very well stocked with memorabilia, weapons, helmets, uniforms and panels that tell the story of the Great War. There is the possibility of downloading an audio guide (very accurate), it is worth a visit. (Original) Piccolo museo per accedervi si passa dal bar dove si acquistano i biglietti al costo di 3 euro .Si scende di un piano e si entra in questo piccolo museo ma fornitissimo di cimeli ,armi ,elmetti divise e pannelli che raccontano la grande guerra .Vi e la possibilita' di scaricare un audioguida (molto accurata), merita una visita.

(Translated by Google) How emotional!! Remembering my grandfather, a Russian Alpine veteran. Beautiful, very well-made audio guide. The entrance fee was more than reasonable. The Alpine Museum in Bassano del Grappa is a moving place dedicated to the history of the Alpine troops and offers a collection of artifacts from the First and Second World Wars. Overall, the Alpine Museum in Bassano del Grappa is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Alpine troops. (Original) Quanta emozione !! Ricordando il nonno Alpino reduce di Russia Bellissimo , audio guida molto ben fatta . Biglietto di ingresso più che onesto . Il Museo degli Alpini di Bassano del Grappa è un luogo emozionante è dedicato alla storia degli Alpini e offre una collezione di reperti della Prima e Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In generale, il Museo degli Alpini di Bassano del Grappa è un luogo da visitare per chiunque sia interessato alla storia e alla cultura degli Alpini.

Very impressive theater. The tour through the museum lasts about 15-30 minutes depending on how much you want to read. If there’s a concert or something similar while you’re staying in Vicenza, I recommend booking a ticket to experience the theater in action. During summer it’s very hot (there‘s no AC).

We saw a Bach concert that suited this Andrea Palladio masterpiece theatre very well. As it’s a protected building only few changes have been made and we didn’t see any bar, but didn’t miss it either as there was no intermission. The seats are quite uncomfortable but acceptable in a heritage building like this one. The play with spatial illusions makes the scene very dramatic and special.

It may be over 400 years old but the Teatro Olimpico remains stunning and immensely practical. The stage set including the streets laid out in perfect perspective must have added to the theatrical experience and captivated and enthralled audiences. You can't go on the stage so you have to make do with a scale model made from Lego to appreciate the technique. Pure genius from the master classical architect Palladio. We bought the Vicenza Silver Card for free admission to four of the top tourist sites. This is one of the best.

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

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

Well worth a visit, they gave us a scan code for a 20 minute audio which was good. Certainly should visit if you have time in Vicenza.

Amazing place, definitely worth a visit in Vicenza. We were with a small child and a dog in our arms, but the staff was kind and everything went well

The hall is just immense, especially the height and considering when it was built. A must-see when in the area. The loggia allows beautiful views over the surrounding area.

A must see building by the famous Andrea Palladio. There was an interesting exhibition about an architecture prize when we visited. We didn’t find the way to the highest level but the views to the centre were nice already from the first floor.

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

Nice, plain architecture with a beautiful terrace looking over the main square of the city. It's a shame that you have to get an additional ticket for different exhibitions to see the inside of the building.

We bought the Vincenza pass ( 4 places ) and used it for the Basilica as one of our stop, will worth it, some lovely roof top views and an exhibition too

The Basilica Palladiana is Vicenza’s architectural showstopper—and heck, its best selfie spot. It’s history in haute couture: elegant, bold, and endlessly influential. Marvel at its facades, sip on the rooftop, and let the limestone loggias whisper stories of civic pride and Renaissance flair into your soul. Renaissance done right, darling.

Palladian Basilica is a building that tries very hard to impress. Columns, arches, everything is decorous and noble, just like “an architectural classic for a textbook”. But, to be honest, don’t expect revelations inside: it’s more like a huge stone hint that they once knew how to build beautifully and on a grand scale here. Palladian Basilica is a classic of the genre: architectural grandeur plus a modern bonus in the form of a ticket office at the entrance. Yes, yes, Andrea Palladio probably dreamed that his creation would be perceived centuries later as “another expense item on vacation”. It’s beautiful inside, no doubt, but you feel like you’re not in a temple of architecture, but in a “pay-and-see” museum. As a result, you get a symbiosis: the spirit of the Renaissance and a light aroma of commerce. Well, art also wants to eat.

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

The castle it’s absolutely stunning! I am surprised that this is not known even more to general public. Everything about it is amazing! Worth stopping by for a one day.

Haven't been inside the castle but the exterior leaves you with the impression of time travel, exquisitely maintained.

neat castle, layout and history. Fun tour, great veiws of Ferrara from the top of the tower. The frescos the are left are great. some have incredible detail.

A moated medieval castle in the center of Ferrara, northern Italy. It consists of a large block with four corner towers.

Every city or town has its iconic monuments, etc. I like to visit small towns instead of big cities. Ferrara is a unique, small town.

Impressive castle right in the center of Ferrara — surrounded by a moat and full of history.

We ordered the room trough Booking and got totally different room - smaller ofcourse. With terrace that is locked with two locks. So you pay for a spacious room and get a tiny room in the attic. When we wanted to sort things out with the owner he/she? (They dont answer the phone, comunicate only via whatsapp text messages) told us that booking is mixing pictures which is not true. Anyways the owners manners were absolutely horrific, he in fact told us to leave him alone.. There are many better acomodations in Ferrara, please support them. People running this place are the worst.

They charged for consumption of snacks that did not occur, and I never gave them my card information directly, meaning they got it from either Booking or Nexi. They provided the wrong WiFi information, but with a good amount of insults as I confronted them.

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

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

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

Great place to stay...Clean, beautiful, not far from the city centre

Nice,big rooms. Very good location

What a place to live. Monks and nuns share this beautiful spot in honour of St. Francis. A must see when in this area

Cool place. Lits of tourists though. Great views, chappels everywhere, interesting 'caves' and history!

Beautiful stay at the monestary on top of the mountains. A lot of tourisrs but if you stay the night you can catch the monestary in its quiet tranquility. Beautiful hikes all around the area.

Beautiful place to experience the serenity and grace of the Franciscan spirituality. A place so dear to St Francis of Assisi. Set amongst a hill top cliff, it speaks of all things Francis, nature, serenity, wildlife.

It was indeed a gem. We had a lot th whole day. Prayer, meals, encounter, tour around the place and concluded with a procession and a mass.

Absolutely STUNNING PLACE whether you are believer or not. It is very suggestive place in the mountains in province of Arezzo (Tuscany). It consists of couple of buildings of sanctuary, church, chapels, place where Saint Francis received the stigmas, small museum, shop. You can feel strong spirituality and huge peace there. When i entered the church, one of Franciscan monk played the grand piano and I burst into tears without reason. We didn't planned this visit on our journey, we were with our dog, which was not a problem everywhere outside. Please pay attention, there is about 5-7 degrees colder in this valley, we suggest to take jumper or jacket with you. We ate local "piadinas" in small bar near the parking place. Surely WORTH OF NEXT VISIT AGAIN.

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, La Verna is a place of unparalleled natural beauty and spiritual significance. Its rugged cliffs and lush forests provide a stunning backdrop to the iconic La Verna Sanctuary, where St. Francis of Assisi once communed with nature and received the stigmata. A pilgrimage to this hallowed site promises a profound connection with both the divine and the wonders of the Italian landscape.

Beautiful thermal baths with relaxing pools, perfect water temperature, and a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. Staff are very friendly and everything is well organized. The only drawback was the showers — they switch off every 30 seconds and the cabins are a bit small. Still, a wonderful place to relax and I’d be happy to return! 🌿✨

Used the day spa services. I have been three times this year since we live fairly close. The spa offers different pools and lovely grounds with different types of chairs and umbrella options to relax. The half day pass is a bargain at 15 euros. Be sure to bring your own flip flops or water sandals and robe or towel. no street shoes allowed outside of locker rooms. Daily use includes free lockers showers blow dryers etc. I have booked various massages and massage staff are all very professional. Front desk staff helpful and some can speak English. Easy selection of fresh salads in casual lunch restaurant. Reasonably priced. Overall a good way to spend the day in Tuscany.

This place is definitely worth visiting. The mineral pools are so great for your health. Everything was positive. The reception was welcoming and friendly, the facilities were clean and in good condition. We had a fantastic time and it is so affordable. The 15 euro morning pass was more than enough time for us and included so many pools and stunning views.

Pretty place, but honestly the worst massage I’ve ever had. I’m not even sure it was a real masseuse or just someone hired. I’ll be booking a proper deep tissue massage when I’m back home. My friend had one too and felt the same way. I would not book a massage here. 3 stars over how terrible the massage was

We went for a girls trip, highly recommend. Facilities where great, staff very friendly and everything in general I would say was high quality. Food and cocktails are very good and the treatment list has fair pricing. Really recommend if you are looking for some relax and peace of mind!

Great place with a beautiful view for a reasonable price. On a cold day, the temperature of the water is comfortable in the covered pool and in the first external pool. The further away you go from the covered pool, the lower the temperature of the water. A bit crowded on weekends.

We did a non-VIP day spa visit on a cloudy day in October (19°C). We arrived around noon, rented robes walked around the facility. The pools and sunbeds were not busy. The water temperature varies from pool to pool so the warm and hot pools were the only ones in use. By mid afternoon the indoor pool (hottest) was crowded. Based on visits to thermal spas in Iceland, Budapest and Canada, the facilities are mid-range but the presence of significant silt on the bottom of the pools was disconcerting. At times it felt like walking through muck, and the water is very milky so you can't see your feet/the bottom of the pool. Also, we weren't informed at the check in desk that you get access to the saunas only with the VIP ticket as they are located on the hotel side. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for this spa.

Amazing place, worth visiting. Also, visit the Castelnuovo above the abbey and walk the streets. One of the most beautiful places around.

I love the georgian live music. Beautiful place very simple, quite and peaceful.

Historic church. Great 5 mile hike loop. Take coins for parking (2 euros per hour). With Casisano winery along the way. Definitely stop in if they are available for a tasting.

Lovely quiet area and nice olive trees but the whole visit was a disappointment because of the lady in the shop. She was very unpolite and as soon as I stepped inside the small shop she told me the shop will close in 2 minutes. It was 17.54. 🙄 I thought the whole place was open until 18.30. The abbey had a mass so we didn’t enter into it. The smell that came from that small shop was so good so it was a pity that I couldn’t buy anything.

Definitely the most beautiful abbey in Italy! We've come here for at least 20 years. In the beginning there were almost no tourists. Now the way down is paved, paid parking and there even is a shop at the top of the hill..... But still it's the most beautiful abbey of Italy :-) Try to stay for a service when you're here.

Truly beautiful Abbey. The electronic self guide is 7€ but we’ll worth the money. The view from the to of the Abbey is amazing. The shop is lovely too. We’ll worth an hour or two of your time for some valuable peace and tranquillity.

The Abbey, a jewel of medieval mysticism. It is one of the most beautiful monuments in an ancient Roman style, which also has elements of the French and Lombardy styles. Legend has it that the abbey was founded by Charles the Great in 781. The king and his army stopped here on the way back from Rome as the soldiers were afflicted by an unknown pestilence. An angel appeared to Charlemagne, telling him to make his men drink an infusion with a local herb. The cure worked and the army was saved so the king decided to build the church in gratitude.

Charming public square in Montepulciano -- go up into the tower of the Palazzo Comunale for one of the best views of the Valdichiana

Beautiful historical center of the central. Must visit day and evening.

Piazza Grande in Montepulciano may be small, but it’s truly a Tuscan gem. It offers a stunning view of the historic town hall, surrounded by charming Renaissance buildings, and from the square, you can wander into the quaint, atmospheric streets typical of this beautiful region. A must-visit for lovers of history, architecture, and wine alike — Montepulciano will surely capture your heart.

Very beautiful place and the souvenir shop sells Twilight: New Moon merchandise.

Piazza Grande is the heart of Montepulciano, a stunning medieval square surrounded by Renaissance architecture, including the Palazzo Comunale and Duomo of Montepulciano. Its origins date back to the 14th century, and it has long been a symbol of civic pride and Tuscan elegance. Film fans will recognize it as a key location in Twilight: New Moon, where the dramatic Volturi scenes were shot - adding a cinematic layer to its timeless beauty. Whether you're here for the history or the Hollywood connection, Piazza Grande is a must-see in southern Tuscany.

Montepulciano is a medieval hilltop town in Tuscany, Italy. Surrounded by vineyards, it’s known for its vino nobile red wine. The Torre di Pulcinella is a clock tower topped by a figure of the Pulcinella, a commedia dell’arte character. On the Piazza Grande is the 14th-century Palazzo Comunale, with a tower offering views of the surrounding countryside. Also here is the Duomo, with a huge triptych above its altar.

Montepulciano’s Piazza Grande is a solid mix of history, Renaissance architecture, and tourists trying to find the perfect selfie angle. The main attraction? Aside from the impressive Palazzo Comunale and the cathedral, it’s the town’s famous Vino Nobile di Montepulciano - a red wine 🍷so well regarded that even popes were fans. It was also the filmed location for the Vampire series - Twilight. 🧛 Climb the town hall tower for a great view (if you don’t mind the steps), or just grab a glass of Vino Nobile and enjoy the square from ground level. Either way, it’s worth the visit, just be ready for some uphill walking.

Lake is pretty but too dirty to swim in, and no beaches are worth mentioning. Many better places to stay in Umbria and Tuscany

It’s a nice lake to look at, but not to swim in. Fist of all, it’s a challenge to find a nice place to enter the water without walking through a swamp. Secondly, the water is murky, smelly and shallow. I’m a huge fan of natural lakes but when here, I (unfortunately) preferred the touristic swimming pools.

A magnific place where to pass your Italian holidays! Many restaurants, cafè lake view and boats to go to Islands! Cool for nature lovers and family with kids! 😉😊

Lake Trasimeno, Italy's fourth-largest lake, is a stream-fed body of water surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and old castles. It offers freshwater fish and fishing, as well as all the water sports one can handle. With swimming-safe waters, a 50-kilometer bike path around the lake promoting exploration, and a natural park that encompasses the entire lake, this is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts. If you want a very relaxing and laid back holiday in Italy then consider this area. Out of the madding crowd but close enough to roam Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio for those more adventurous types. Highly recommended.

Very beautiful view, especially during sunset!

I went there for a picnic tour. That lake is really amazing. I wanna go there again.

Very beautiful, But unfortunately, the water is very dirty and too hot 🔥 Hopefully they can clean it because its worth it 🙏🏽

Really good tour. First part is sat down listening to a lady speak (who was excellent) and a video. Then a look at the exhibits in the museum. Best bit was then the factory tour which takes place on a kind of enclosed, raised walkway. Fascinating. My kids loved seeing the robots packing chocolates. Finishes with an opportunity to taste the range. Very well done and a good 2 hour experience.

We went there without any appointment. But lucky us, we still got a chance to join an Italian group to visit the factory. Although we don’t speak any Italian, the guide lady was super friendly and nice! She played an introduction video in English and explained to us in English as well. And the workers at the factory look so happy. Last but not least, the entire factory smells sooooooo yummy 😋 Highly recommend to visit! We had a lot of fun there. Of course, it would be better to check their schedule before going, they have English tour as well.

They came highly recommended, but very disappointing!! Please don’t waste your money here. They are not willing to accommodate or help you. Wanted to book a private tour in English, cost over 600E for a tour and private class. Won’t take a credit card, wanted my bank information….. Booked a tour at Lindt in Switzerland and very helpful and worked with you!!! Someone told me about another chocolate factory in Perugia called Be Well… great people…very nice….

We called their number and made a reservation for an English tour in advance. The entrance is closed from 1300h to 1400h (and they did not open it early despite seeing lots of us waiting outside in the sun). Adult tickets are €10 each; children accompanied by an adult are €8 (you buy tickets there). The 1400h tour started at 1412h. Our guide was Gloria, she speaks English very well, and was very friendly with the group. She gave a short introduction and then we watched a ten minute video about the history and how their chocolate is made (disappointing that Perugina company was taken over by Nestle). Then we had a five to ten minute period of sampling chocolate (four Baci, one dark OR milk chocolate egg, and one Milky Bar and one After Eight - seven chocolates in total). The group all went to the museum portion together where Gloria explained more of the history, etc... (probably about 15 minutes). Then we went to tour the factory (probably about 15 minutes). It was unfortunate that we didn't see the chocolate being made on the assembly line (nothing was coming out on the machines), but we did see the chocolate being boxed up. We got into their shop area just over an hour after the start of the tour (around 1530h). This is an ok thing if you're looking for something to do in the area, but not worth a special trip only for this IMO. They ramp up production in October for Easter (so you'd see the giant eggs being made with the surprise in the middle). The town has a chocolate festival in October as well. What ruined our experience (otherwise this would have been three stars), was there was a massive group (greater than 20 people, at least 12 of which were children ranging in age from toddler to about 10yo) who came in after the video, and were extremely loud. There was so much yelling, crying, children running around everywhere, it was hard to hear the guide, and if you happened to be more than three to five people behind the guide in the factory you could not hear her at all. Because of advance booking for the tour, this group should have been put by themselves. Our "original group" of about 15 people would've been great. If the factory is going to have groups greater than 15 people they should have head sets for everyone to be able to hear the guide, or simply keep the groups smaller and run more frequent tours.

An extensive tour of the famous ‘Baci’ chocolate factory and adjoining museum. Event (pre-booked on their website) starts off with a video feature, followed by some tasty chocolate samples, and a guided tour starting with an exhibition on how it all started, with an extensive display of the many products sold and on sale, ending with an overhead walk along the factory and a well-stocked shop with items for sale. All you chocolate lovers this is worth a visit to set you dreaming!

If you visit perugia is a must experience!We had the pleasure of English guide and she explained everything sharing the passion for the company its values!We ate a lot of chocolates and we had the opportunity to buy some chocolate souvenirs on low price.The tickets were 8 euros as it was weekend and some production machines didn't operate. However it was a pleasant visit!

A tasty history and tour of the world's leading chocolateer. Brief and interesting video, tasty tasting treats followed by a very interesting tour of this gigantic and highly automated tour of a chocolate factory that would make Willie and the Wonka-heads proud.

The water is very cold. Tuscany has some of the absolute best hot springs I’ve been to, but I can tell you, regrettably, that these aren’t one of them. I found the general cleanliness of the pools to be quite lacking, and the water temperature is the lowest of the 10+ hot springs I’ve been to in Tuscany. This is a real shame because this place could be much better. It’s got the potential to be n1, but has a long way to get there. Without doing much research, the owners should simply see what the competition has to offer to improve Terme di Saturnia. Some general things the staff should provide: - indication that there are only outdoor pools - soap, shampoo and conditioner should be provided in the shower rooms - towels for showering (they’ll give you one for the sun loungers, a robe for walking outside, but what are customers supposed to use to shower? you can’t ask people to buy 3 separate towels). - food selection: very poor, almost non existent vegetarian and gluten free options at the café near the pools - tea, water or infusions should be provided for free (see competitors) Only positive is the price (€14 if you are a resident is rather competitive). But as they say… you get what you pay.

We visited the day spa in mid April. We were so much looking forward to it but got so disappointed. The whole facility is cold. The thermal pool is not warm enough when it’s 15 outside, the sauna is only 50C and the indoor space is cold. The food in the bistro must be the opposite of Tuscan gourmet, it was actually disgusting, like a bad school cantine, over cooked pasta and no taste. And you had to eat in your wet bathrobe in the cold. The place is very worn down and mold in the showers. In the men’s shower the light wasn’t working, it was dark and slippery, almost like a scene from a scary movie. The owners should visit the blue lagoon on Iceland, Vabali in Germany or Yasuragi in Stockholm to learn what a spa should be. Go to the free outdoor one instead.

They lie to people about what their access covers. I only wanted to see the cascate di Saturnia but they claimed their admission covered access to this. 26€ wasted, time wasted. Then they take zero accountability for it. Claim they will refund me but don't. Their so called director Maria Vittoria is an unethical liar

My husband and I were disappointed with our experience here. The website is a false representation & shows it to be upmarket and much nicer but in reality the pools didn’t feel well maintained & some were very dirty. Way over priced for the experience. We were in the sauna & were told to leave due to a “ritual” that you had to pay to attend. Why is this not included in the high price? Very strange. The free public baths 5 minutes away are much nicer!! For some reason the photo of the free ones are used here and it’s incorrect.

We have booked the entrance with sunbeds online and upon arrival the staff told us they don’t have the availability for sunbeds. Very disappointing. The bistrot is just a bar with only piadine and sandwiches to eat (dry and poor), the Greek yogurt was good though. The white dress code is not that obvious, because it’s seems more like a suggestion. If you want the people to wear only the WHITE outfit here — include it in the price and there will be no questions asked. Or make a warning on the website that is visible, I don’t have to search the whole website to find this rule. The whole atmosphere in the place was rude and angry. I’ve expected a nice and relaxed day, I got angry people and no sunbeds🔥👍🏼 To be fare I must say that we were offered a free cup of mud (face mask). Also it’s confusing the pictures on the website. It seems there are the natural pools, but it’s actually another location. It was not necessary to come here at all. The pools that are advertised everywhere are free of charge and are located nearby. The place is understaffed and the queue in bistrot was endless.

It was the worst experience ever. We left the place as soon as we entered. All old stuff. Small spaces very old and worn out towels, small and limited showers which weren’t clean with just a soap! There were worms also in the water! Also the staff were rude. We traveled 2 hours to get there but it was terrible. Never again!

### WARNING ### Today I arrived at 10:30 for a day pass to the pools. Before driving 120kms I looked up the tariffs for entrance and rental of towels and gown as well as 2 sunbeds. The advertised price in the latest pdf. Says midweek €29 entrance. I was charged €39, when I questioned this I was told that they have decided that till the 4th of May every day is considered weekend. This is not posted either on the website or on the premises that I have seen. As I had traveled so far I decided to enter anyway. But I find this appauling. I have stayed at the hotel previously but this has really put me off as it is clearly untoward.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I visited in early September 2024. Fun experience! Something unique to Orvieto and highly recommended. The history of the well is very interesting and it was revolutionary for its time. However, not for those with mobility issues. Yes, there are some railings, but the stairs are slick and uneven. Also, maybe not if you have breathing issues. It was very humid, my hair doubled in size! Lol Great exercise!

Really cool to see! The steps could be an issue for someone in less than ideal shape, but my husband and I made it to the bottom and back up (with a stop to take pictures at the bottom) in less than 10 minutes. Ticket purchase at the office was quick and easy.

Loved the walk down and UP the stairs. Walked it with my 7 year old daughter and she made it up and down easy enough. Not at all claustrophobic (even though it thought it might be). Fun thing to do takes about 30mins. Worth the entry fe.

A Charming Visitor's Note Descending the 248 steps of the Pozzo di San Patrizio is a profound experience. This masterpiece of Renaissance engineering feels like an inverted, mesmerizing tower. The light filtering in from the 72 windows highlights the genius of the double helix design. It is fascinating to walk the path once used by donkeys to carry water, knowing the separate ramps ensured they never crossed paths. Be sure to look up from the bottom for a dizzying view! A stunning blend of history, necessity, and clever design. The Historical Secret Built in the 16th century (1527-1537), this Italian well's history is rooted in crisis. Following the Sack of Rome (1527), Pope Clement VII sought refuge in Orvieto and commissioned architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to ensure the city had water during a siege. Sangallo's brilliant solution was the double spiral staircase, allowing continuous, non-crossing traffic for water-carrying mules. Originally Pozzo della Rocca, it was renamed Pozzo di San Patrizio because its depth evoked the Irish legend of St. Patrick’s Purgatory. The well's purpose is captured by the Latin inscription: QUOD NATURA MUNIMENTO INVIDERAT INDUSTRIA ADIECIT (What nature grudged for defence, industry has supplied).

Quite a unique place to see a medieval well where you walk through a double helix to get to the bottom of the well and then back up. Worth a visit if you can do the walk Once you are in, you have to commit to finish the walk. There are no shortcuts to exit.

Great attraction. I was skeptical at first, because of my claustrophobia, but it turned out to not be a problem as the stairwell is quite wide. I really recommend

This was a really cool place to visit and worth the work to see and explore.

​The Orvieto Cathedral is truly impressive. Its location on top of the hill structure naturally provides it with a well-protected position. The most striking feature is the exterior, where the gold-painted facade beautifully catches the sunset light. Inside, the sculptures and the overall aesthetic of the interior make for a very pleasant and rewarding visit.

As the most famous attraction in the city, this church is magnificent and rich in historical value. Legend has it that Michelangelo visited it in his youth to draw inspiration, which shows how profound its artistic value is. The church itself is not as magnificent as other churches in Rome, but the sculptures here convey the people's worship and longing for the church at that time. If you have enough time, I recommend purchasing a ticket to visit the underground city. Unfortunately, we arrived early this time and the guided tour had not yet started. I believe I will definitely visit the underground city next time I visit!

It's a massive Cathedral. The experience is amazing. It is as much a gallery of art as a place of worship. So as a mark of respect don't use camera inside the Cathedral. For tourists, take a train from Rome, or Florence to Orvieto. Then the Funicular to the top of the hill. There's a small fort and a underground place also for visitors. Local food is very good and reasonably priced

The Duomo in Orvieto is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve visited in Italy. The outside is stunning — the front is full of detailed mosaics, sculptures, and gold decorations that shine in the sunlight. The walls are made of black and white stone in stripes, which makes it look very unique compared to other cathedrals. Inside, the cathedral is peaceful and full of history. The most impressive part is the Chapel of San Brizio, where you can see amazing frescoes by Luca Signorelli. These paintings show scenes from the Last Judgment and the Apocalypse, and the emotion and detail in the faces are incredible. It’s hard to believe they were painted over 500 years ago. Another highlight is the crypt, which many visitors miss. It’s small but very interesting, with ancient frescoes, old tombs, and Christian symbols. It feels like a hidden part of the cathedral that connects you to a much older time. Overall, the Duomo is not just beautiful — it also tells many stories through its art and structure. If you’re in Orvieto, don’t miss it. It’s a perfect mix of architecture, art, and history in one place.

Stunning architecture! Italy is home to many exceptional cathedrals, but this one truly stands out as one of the most remarkable in all of Europe. Entry is only €6.50, and remember to cover your shoulders and legs to be allowed inside. The grandeur and beauty are absolutely breathtaking, you’ll be amazed.

This is a stunning 1500 church in the Florence style using the black and white stones to create the iconic stripes. The fresco paintings inside are well worth a look. They depict the Last Judgment, featuring vivid scenes of the Resurrection of the Flesh, the Elect in Paradise, and the Damned in Hell.Buy the entry tickets opposite.

Absolutely worth every cent. This Cathedral is beautiful, there is only one Cathedral more beautiful and that's the Berliner Dom in Germany. In November 2025 the entry cost is €8 per Adult. This is a must see destination in Italy.

The square embellished by the cathedral facade is simply mesmerizing ! The center point of Spoleto with Pinturicchio and Filippino Lippi frescoes nested in a late romanic architecture with a 15th century colonnade that add to its gravitas. Spectaculat, imposing, magnificent !

There are two audio guides available. The first audio guide has one headphone set and is immediately visible upon the right hand side after entry into the church. The second audio guide is at the rear of the building on the left hand side and it has two headphone sets. There are multiple languages to choose from. Cost is €2 for six or so theee to five minute discussion guides on versions aspects of the church, its history and people. Highly recommend listening to the guide. A lot of information condensed into a short time frame. Of particular interest was the geopolitics and the historical involvement with the Medicis. Bring €0.50 to pay for the lights at various sections of the church. It will not accept smaller cents or €1 or €2. If you do not have €0.50, the cashier in the bookstore will gladly make you change. Here there is a letter from St Francis to St Leo which is on the left hand side of the church in an obscure corner of the back room which requires €0.50 to brighten the room. In this room is also a skull and legno painted Sybil’s and saints. Another highlight is Papa Giovanni Paolo in the right back corner which again can be more visible with the 0.50. Bookstore lacks statues of the holy family and saints, holy water, and religious relics which are available at most other churches throughout Italy. This was disappointing. I visit many churches and collect onomasticos for my family and friends. I was hoping to get the baby Michele and raffe for my cousins grandchildren at this visit. I like to think a lady can never own too many shoes, dresses or holy relics. I left this cathedral without spending the money which I normally spend in a church but I will gladly give my money to another church in the area. Definitely worth a visit. Estimated Time required: 1.30-2 hours

Famous little Umbrian town Famous for "Don Matteo" - Mario Girotti's TV show Wondeful square in front of church Beautiful church

Beautiful Cathedral. So very interesting. The painting by Filippino Lippi, is of course stunning. It draws you in the more you look. The atmosphere is very tranquil. We went up the 147 (I think ) steps to the bell tower, it was worth the climb to see the view.

Like all the big churches in Italy, you will be amazed at the art work throughout the building.

This cathedral with a square in front can be reached by going up an elevators set up, not far from a parking lot in Spoleto outskirts. Like many churches across Italy, this is a splendid Romanesque building very much worth a visit not only for prayer and worship. Inside there are magnificent works of art with various paintings, including frescoes by Pinturicchio, mosaics and more.

A truly amazing cathedral with wonderful art and views

We really enjoyed our visit. Amazing sculpture work. To see the handmade works and chisel marks. The restaurant was nice, we got the steak. Very nice and very reasonable prices. There is also a cafe. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely loved every inch of this place, and well worth the admission price. A wonderful place to bring kids, and the restaurant served us the most beautiful Fillet Steak we have had in a long time. Definitely worth a trip.

Absolutely incredible! We ditched seeing Vatican City after a long road trip across Italy, found the poster on the side of the highway and decided to drop in. Tons of parking including with a camper, kind staff, clean ground incl washroom. Soo soo soo many unique neat sculptures. There's some wheelchair ramps to washrooms but not to the sites that we could find.

I really liked this exhibition, the statues were huge and mesmerizing! The tilted building was also fun! The price (13€) was a bit overpriced for the size of the park, but still I would recommend it!

Such a magical place. Its surrealist stone sculpture garden. We were there in Jan but would have been great to be in warmer weather since its located in hilly landscape with streams and grass area. We spent about 1 hr walk around. Its easy terrain for slow walk but different elevation makes the park interesting. Love the face entryway, elephant sculpture and leaning building. Will definitely watch the movie where the entire movie scene was shoot in this park.

My husband and I brought our 4 kids on a Sunday. It was great, really beautiful and interesting, and there is a picnic area as well as a playground, both are excellent features, however, it is a small park and costs a family of 6 (with 4 children aged 13 and younger) 58 euros. There is no family rate. Furthermore, according to the website this will increase in January 2026. Would I recommend, yes. Do I think it was overpriced, yes, if you just walk through and dont spend time there. However, if you spend the entire day there it seems a better price :) also no refunds for bad weather.

Small restored quirky garden of bizarre statues commissioned by a middle ages count who was a little off his rocker. Worth a side trip but a little costly.

Nice. Lots of stairs. Well preserved. BUT only half of the necropolis is open to visitors due to PNRR renovation. they didn't tell us at the ticket office.

Very nicely set up situation for presenting and preserving Etruscan frescos. Half of it was closed for maintenance when we were there but what we were able to see made it well worth the trip.

Amazing Day trip from Rome with Scoot Around Rome , perfect timing, convenient best way to enjoy this and the other necropolis . Weather was amazing and we had time to see all the tombs.Very happy, a must !! thank you

Absolutely unique archaeological site. Really worth the visit. Unfortunately, around 3/4 of the site and around 2/3 of the most famous tombs (including the most famous, of the Leopards) are under renovation for “at least” more 6 months and currently not accessible. I did not find this information anywhere before driving here.

Wonderful archeological site. This was the second time I took our children here and It went really well. Children really like to check every tomb, go down the stairs, push the button that turns the light on and admire the paintings. The only thing is that this time the bar was closed but drinking water was available at the entrance.

It's a wonderful place rich in Italian history! Bravo to the Tuscany's wisdom and architecture! It will live for years and years!...earn for years and years!...be enjoyed for years and years! Glory to God, the author of all creation 🙏🙏🙏

The place is worth visiting. A green hill overlooking the fields outside the city. Filled with well preserved chambers/ tombs what are dug into the ground and "visitable". The admission which normally is just €8 for adults, was free on the 1st sunday of the month. Signs tell in italian and english the story behind each of the persons to which the tombs are devoted to. The simple architecture of the place, the scenery and the fact that a lot of work has been put in place to make this visitor friendly even for everyone make it certainly worth your time.

Cascata delle Marmore is a breathtaking mix of natural power and Roman engineering. The roaring falls, scenic trails, and magical mist make it unforgettable. A must-see for nature lovers and travelers alike

exceptional experience that deserves a bit of outside advertising, we got to know about it from a local friends. easy to get to, spectacular views and a bit of a workout to return :-) the butterfly house worth seeing, too!

So beautiful!! Unfortunately we came a bit late, at 15:30, 30 minutes before the falls are shut down for the day. It’s nice to stroll through the park regardless. But the park was closed entirely by 17:00, so I would advise to plan the visit time better than we did.

It is just beautiful,. We set parking for 1.5h , but we sure did needed more. Got to the first 3 spots there, all the way down. Luckily we packed some snacks and fruits 😋 bc there is a lovely view point right in front of the waterfall.

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!).

Pretty impressive place it is better to come on the schedule and to climb up to see all the place it is like a small iguasu

The tallest artificial watetfall in the world! A beautiful, unconventional place – created by human intervention, yet so natural. It's worth devoting more time to exploring and hiking the entire trail, rather than just admiring the views from the upper terrace.

I didn't know much about this place and my expectations weren't high, but my family and I enjoyed it very much. The castle has a panoramic tower that has an observation view of the entire lake. If you're around - Don't hesitate.

Having visited hundreds of castles and museums this one totally blew our minds. Ten euros to get in. Use your phone to get a free video/audio guide in Italian or English or take their guided tours. And then go. Takes about 1h to 1.5 hours to visit it all but it really is spectacular and gives a real sense of what life was like. The audio guide is awesome. One tip: download the video so you can watch it on your phone as sometime you might have connectivity issues due to the thick walls. The views of the lake are also breathtaking. Wish they'd open a café on the lawn but that's just coffee addiction speaking 😂😁

Visiting Castello di Bracciano is a lovely experience, but be ready for a bit of steep walking up. After the Belvedere, you cross a small bridge and buy tickets. Tip for families: use the bathroom right after purchasing tickets! We skipped it, and when my son needed to pee mid-tour, we had to walk all the way back down to the entrance—not easy with two kids. Inside, the castle feels spacious, atmospheric, and rich in history. Don’t expect original furniture, but the recreated rooms, paintings, and especially the collection of weapons, armors, swords, and pistols kept my little one fascinated. The panoramic views from the castle are stunning and worth every step. We went on a quiet Easter Friday, with mild weather, and it was perfect—not crowded, not too hot or cold. I would recommend visiting in spring or autumn, as summer heat would make the outdoor sections uncomfortable. Overall, a beautiful visit with kids, full of history, atmosphere, and great views.

Beautiful Castle tucked away in the Italian countryside. We made this stop on our way towards Rome. We wanted to break up the trip to Rome and this stop was, so worth it. Beautiful architecture, unbelievable that we were allowed nearly everywhere inside the castle. Amazing pieces of artwork. Blows my mind the amount of history in the area.

Perched high above the tranquil waters of Lake Bracciano in Italy, castello Orsini-Odescalchi is one of the most impressive Renaissance-era castles in the country. Built in the 15th century by the powerful Orsini family, it was later inherited by the noble Odescalchi family, who still own it today. Over the centuries, it has hosted popes, kings, and generals, including Pope Sixtus IV and King Charles VIII of France. It is very well-preserved and now functions as a museum, featuring period furnishings, ancient weapons, frescoes, and artworks that offer a glimpse into noble life during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It is also a sought-after venue for high-profile weddings, famously hosting the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes in 2006. Well worth a visit, €10 entrance, and an hour on the slow train from Rome.

Part of a Viking excursion. It was a beautiful castle, great view of the lake and great guide!

Great views over Lake Bracciano from above. It’s worth a visit when exploring the lake’s surroundings.
