This is a beautiful atmospheric place that will please lovers not only of delicious food, but also of modern art. There is great cuisine and delicious cocktails. For little money you will get a delicious dinner, a great drink, wonderful acquaintances and a creative atmosphere. We were happy to come here every day during our vacation in Livorno.

Wonderful little bar with a great atmosphere and friendly service from the staff. A couple of people were playing music on the piano and guitar inside, a lovely environment to sit in the sun next to the water and enjoy a drink.

Only in for a beer, but the atmosphere left us sitting there for a few more. Cosy and artistic. A couple were entertaining on the piano, and a singer with a great voice. With the lady owner on the saxophone. Just great.

Absolutely love this place. They always treat my sister, sister in law, my niece, and myself with such respect and kindness when we come out here. Whether we come out here together or separately, it’s always the same politeness from the staff. 12/10 service and atmosphere, the food is good as well. If you’re American or traveling from outside of here, or if you even live here, I highly recommend stopping by here 🫶🏼

Great vibes! Live music, piano etc. Perfect setting to watch the sun set. Cheap and cosy

Nice artistic bar with a terrace and live instruments for guests to play rhe piano or guitar. Go!

By far the best experience in Livorno and there were many. This bar is situated next to The Grand Hotel on the sea front. Never the same experience with musicians and artist all visiting to set the vibe with the owners many available musical instruments being loaned to all. We concluded every day of our visit here and met some wonderful people especially the owners. A true treasure of Livorno.

**A Hauntingly Beautiful Step Back in Time** The **Abbazia di San Galgano** (San Galgano Abbey) is a **mesmerizing** 13th-century Gothic ruin with no roof—just towering stone walls open to the sky. The atmosphere is **magical**, especially at golden hour when sunlight streams through the empty windows. Don’t miss the **legendary Sword in the Stone** in the nearby hermitage (Monte Siepi Chapel)—it’s said to be the real-life inspiration for King Arthur’s tale! **Why it’s worth visiting:** ✔ **Photography paradise**: The skeletal arches and grassy floor make for stunning, otherworldly photos. ✔ **Peaceful vibe**: Far from crowds, ideal for quiet reflection or a picnic. ✔ **Rich history**: Free info plaques explain the abbey’s rise and fall (or bring a guidebook for deeper context). **Tips:** - Wear **sturdy shoes**—the ground is uneven. - Pair your visit with the nearby **Chiusdino village** for lunch or a wine tasting. - Visit **early morning or late afternoon** to avoid tour groups. **A must-see** for history buffs, romantics, and anyone who loves evocative ruins. Like stepping into a medieval fairy tale.

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at San Galgano Abbey, and it was absolutely magical. The atmosphere of the roofless abbey, with its dramatic architecture and open sky, creates an unforgettable setting for a wedding ceremony. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a breathtaking venue in Tuscany.

The entrance fee feels steep for a ruin with very little information provided… but it’s still 100% worth the visit! ⛪✨ Standing inside this roofless church, in the middle of nowhere, is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere is truly unique. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, and the history of the site is absolutely fascinating 🌿📜 Take your time to explore, soak it all in, and maybe enjoy a picnic in the shade of the centuries-old walls of this mysterious and hauntingly beautiful place 🧺🧱

Open air 13th Century Abbey just outside of Siena. If this is something you’re into and enjoy – very much worth a visit. Looks spectacular from the outside and magical from the inside. Certainly unique. If you are not into architecture, historical buildings or church history, this is probably not for you. There is little explanation of the place once you’re there, so you need to ideally already be a fan or interested. Also visit the Chapel on the hill whilst you're in the area

There was an art exhibit when we were there which were really great to take photos. We had leave early because of a funeral.

Speechless spiritual place, knowing this place from Andrei Tarkovsky’s ‘Nostalgia’, as a metaphor of the protagonist’s memory and religious experience. No photos or documentaries can compare to being here personally, even if it might be an arduous trip for visitors without a car…

Historic place. Impressive to see and understand. When in the area take time visit and enjoy lunch at the nearby bar.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic and fascinating landmarks in the world a true symbol of Italy’s charm and history. Seeing it in person is an incredible experience; its famous tilt is even more striking and impressive than photos can capture. The white marble gleams beautifully under the sun, and the detailed Romanesque architecture is simply stunning. Climbing to the top is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend the spiral staircase, you can actually feel the tower’s tilt, which adds a sense of adventure and wonder. Once at the top, the panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape is breathtaking. The tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), surrounded by other magnificent monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery, all of which are worth exploring. The area has a lively, joyful atmosphere with cafés, souvenir shops, and green lawns perfect for photos and relaxing. Whether you come for history, architecture, or just the fun of taking the classic “holding up the tower” photo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa never disappoints. It’s a place full of charm, beauty, and a sense of wonder that makes every visit truly special.

Iconic, Beautiful, and Worth the Hype (Visited in September 2025) I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa in September 2025, and it was every bit as impressive as I hoped. Seeing it in person — slightly tilted yet perfectly balanced — was surreal. The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli and taking photos without feeling rushed. Climbing the tower was an unforgettable experience. The marble steps are worn and slanted from centuries of use, and as you ascend, you can actually feel the lean — it’s both thrilling and slightly dizzying! The view from the top is absolutely worth it, offering panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The area can be busy with tourists, but if you go early in the morning or later in the afternoon, it’s much quieter. The cathedral and baptistery nearby are also stunning and definitely worth exploring. Overall: A must-see once in your lifetime. The Leaning Tower of Pisa isn’t just a famous landmark — it’s a masterpiece of history, architecture, and human perseverance.

Pisa is a charming and historic city that truly captures the spirit of Italy. Famous for its iconic Leaning Tower, the city offers much more than just that – beautiful architecture, cozy streets, and a relaxing atmosphere. Walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli feels like stepping into a living museum, surrounded by stunning buildings and rich history. The locals are friendly, the food is delicious, and there’s a lovely mix of culture and calmness throughout the city. Whether you come for sightseeing, photography, or simply to enjoy authentic Italian vibes, Pisa is definitely worth visiting. A small city with a big heart — unforgettable and full of beauty! 🇮🇹✨

Before I went to visit, I thought it would be overrated, old and uninteresting, but when I got there, I was completely wowed! The tower and surrounding buildings have been maintained in such a pristine way that they look like they were built last week. For a building that is over 850 years old, it sure has aged well. The scale and lean of the tower is unbelievable and cannot be felt from pictures. This is a must visit when you are in Italy. It is truly a majestic sight.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an absolute blast to visit! Seeing it in person is way more impressive than any photo, and the tilt is even more dramatic up close. The best part? Getting creative with photos! We had so much fun “holding it up,” pretending to push it over, leaning against it, or even putting it in an ice cream cone — endless silly opportunities for memories and laughs. The surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli is beautiful too, with the cathedral and baptistery making the perfect backdrop. Even just walking around and soaking in the architecture is a treat. Tip: bring your camera and a playful attitude — it’s all about the fun angles and perspective tricks. Crowds can get busy, so a little patience helps to get your perfect shot. Visiting the Leaning Tower isn’t just sightseeing — it’s a joyful, hands-on experience that’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a little photo fun. Definitely one of the most memorable stops in Italy!

Iconic- such an amazing view. I loved this place but so crowded. I would recommend visiting the museum next to the tower of Pisa to get an amazing view with minimal people spoiling your photos. Also there is a restaurant in this museum and you get a stunning view. Recommend climbing the tower of Pisa that was amazing make sure you are willing to climb as can be tiring. Trainers recommended for the climb.

Had a lovely time here. The tower itself has a beautiful view when you're at the top. The steps are slippery tho so be careful aspecially when walking back down. The cathedral is gorgeous also on the inside. We bought tickets that included entree to all buildings and museums and also walked the walls of pisa all the way (which was quite long). Definitely recommend visiting and also going inside.

We didn't really see much of the area. We stayed overnight at a hotel inside the walls and ate at Caffetteria Gelateria dell'Olmo. The restaurant was not good. Our hotel, Hotel Leon Bianco, was very nice and had a wonderful breakfast. We had a heck of a time navigating the streets.

San Gimignano is the reason we came back to Tuscany after visiting it last yearfor a few hours, while driving through Tuscany. Beautiful walled medieval town, that was originally restored in 1800s, and probably the biggest attraction in Tuscany. The towers were a sign of wealth, and the taller the tower, the wealthier the family that owned them. They were originally built as protection against marauding neighboring townspeople, street scuffs, etc. these towers were connected to the residences of the owners. You can climb the tallest tower in town, for 7 Euros.

San Gimignano is a true gem of Tuscany and a must-visit destination for every traveler. This picturesque town is famous for its well-preserved medieval towers that create an iconic skyline. Walking through its stone streets feels like stepping back in time. History comes alive at every corner, and the atmosphere is utterly enchanting. A highlight is the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, the town’s cathedral adorned with stunning frescoes by prominent artists – a true architectural treasure. San Gimignano is a place you’ll fall in love with at first sight

San Gimignano is a small medieval hills town in Tuscany, encircled by 13th-century walls and full of beauty and life. Medieval festivals are happening from time to time and, if you're lucky to be here during such an event, you'll feel the history and understand Italian culture and life better. Like a reduced-scale Sienna, San Gimignano is one of my favorites luttle old towns in Italy.

Love this town, love walking amongst the buildings. The old part of the town is just amazing, wonderful restaurants.

Lovely town and dumo church definitely worth visit with spectacular paintings

One of my favorite places to visit! Walking the streets felt like going back in time! The architecture is unbelievable. The shops are quaint and full of authentic treats. The cobblestone streets lead to amazing sites and the views are spectacular. Stop for an ice cream, a meal or a souvenir. Make it a point to stop on your visit to Italy, it’s worth the trip.

Very unique place of the walled city of Lucca. Its almost whole round walkable on the top of the walls or street inside the walls. Plenty of trees, walkways are suitable for jogging and fitness exercises and walking of the locals. very calm green place. From the walls you can see the old city and also outside, small water channels under the wall. All around are about 11 bastions and couple of gates to the city. The wall is 4 km long and is among the best preserved Renaissance fortifications in Europe, and the second largest intact example of a fully walled Renaissance city after Nicosia on Cyprus.

A short walk...even with your roller bag...from the train station to the walls of Lucca. I always get a smile when the gate comes into view. The walled city of Lucca still holds plenty of lore with its many restaurants and merchants. This trip we stayed at the Grand Universe right in the center of Lucca so we could be immersed in the city culture and people.

We used the ramp at Porta di San Pietro to take a one-hour stroll anticlockwise along the wall. The views of the old city on one side and of the Lucca hills and Apuan Alps on the other are charming and inspiring. Due to lack of time we were not able to walk the entire length (4.4 km) of the wall, but the segment we did, was organized as a usual public park. The park would benefit of informative panels that could provide visitors with historical context and details on the surrounding area.

Well worth seeing. Amazing. Careful with toddlwrs near the top as its a sheer drop

Fun way to visit the city. You can walk, stroll, bike, we rent a 6 person bike. 1-2h walking.

My favourite part of our visit to Lucca was the Mura di Lucca. An absolutely brilliant use of the city wall by having a multipurpose recreational trail on top of the wall! Paved for walking and wheeling, the many ramps give ready access for users. The bulwarks of the wall have parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Several museums and the Botanical gardens are accessed from the trail. The Mura also has several gates as well as pedestrian tunnels. Stunning views of the hills surrounding Lucca. Worth a saunter!

Amazing and beautiful scenery. You can either walk around on the walls or rent a bicycle for faster movement. The view from the walls is truly beautiful.

It was magnificent. As someone who isn't an art affectionado, it was a bit overwhelming in some ways. Take a walk through it at your pace, and don't worry about missing anything. By the time you are done with this and the other art museums (like the Gallery Accademia) you will be kinda art-ed out and it will blue together. Absolutely worth going to though overall. In my opinion, the Vasari Corridor is cool, but probably not worth it.

Very nice gallery, on par with other big museums and art galleries of the world (Louvre and co.). I highly recommend reserving a slot online otherwise the waiting times are very long. Botticelli, da Vinci....just go and see. You certainly will not regret it. And by the way, the best thing is that children and teens uo to 18 years of age have free entry!!! That's a great way to encourage families to make the kids aquainted with high end artistry 👍

Amazing art gallery and museum - Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio and many more. You could easily spend a day or more in here - if you're on a shorter time line like I was, check out the maps and decide which bits over the two floors you want to focus on. Also lots of benches to sit down on and get off your feet for a moment which is great.

Good one! Great staff and amazing art collection. Some tips: - Download official app for audio commentary about the exhibits. It worth few bucks to unlock all descriptions but it worth it. - Highly recommend free Rick Steves audio guide for Uffizi Gallery. Download his app for your device and get a great tour for free! - Cafe is overrated. High prices with poor food selection. The view is blocked by plants. Try to grab a bite before visiting the gallery. - The staff is kind of strict regarding name on the ticket. Make sure that you have your ID or photo of your ID with you. Make sure that your name is on the ticket. - Make sure that you enter within an hour of your ticket time. They are pretty strict about it. - Everyone complained that it's crowded. Bit we visited on the week day in the middle of November and had no problems with crowds. - Buying ticket on the day of your visit is cheaper than in advance. - Views from the windows are amazing. Make sure to check them out. - Didn't visit Vosario Corridor as it's too expensive for a corridor with white walls.

Superb experience at the Uffizi Gallery. The rooms are filled with high-quality paintings and sculptures—Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo—masterpieces everywhere. It’s very popular and can be crowded because so many people come, but it’s well organized and absolutely worth it. I easily spent 2–3 hours and could have stayed longer. A must-do in Florence; book ahead if you can. There is a lovely cafeteria at the end on floor two which is also a must visit

This museum is a must see in Firenze. I booked a tour with a guide and was so happy I did. We got through security quickly and were able to see all the most.famous pieces with a rare insight into their origin and their place in history. I plan on going back again since there is so much to see. Definitely go. You will do glad you did.

Museum is huge and I advice visitors to go as early as they can to avoid the crowd. The Gallery was built in the 16th century and designed by Giorgio Vasari. It is famous worldwide for its sculptures and paintings. Collection is huge and includes some of the famous works from Botticelli, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Piero della Francesca, Giotto and many other. It requires approximately 3-4 hours to see most of things and to enjoy some of the masterpieces inside.

Magical. A stunning, free location where you are as high as the Duomo, and can see across the city with a vista that would rival any of the towers in the centre. Moreover, at sunset, it provides one of the best view of the bridges of Florence, and has a playful vibe. It feels safe, and the panoramic spot is not the only part to enjoy. There are shuttles to take you up there, but the walk up is not too challenging if you are see to walking up stairs a bit. Thing is to take your time. It is exposed, so in the height of summer would be a lot. But Spring and Autumn is perfect, and a little less bothered by the hawkers of jewellery and handbags who constantly appear. You might want to bring some food and water up, though there is a nearby eatery. If you feel adventurous you can head further uphill to the Abbazia San Miniato for views higher up, but further away. For me, I find the Piazza Michelangelo is quite enough for the best views, higher isn’t always better. I tried this view during midday, and sunset, but wasn’t here at night, though it felt safe enough I’d expect it would be fine, but check other reviews here. There is a pretty route up from the Porta San Niccolo, approached from the Piazzetta di San Miniato. This Piazza was one of THE highlights of my trip to Florence, I could have spent hours up here.

A must do when in Firenze. The ideal would be passing through Ponte Vecchio and walking down the river until you find the stairs with all the fountains. The view from the Piazzale is really amazing, lots of people though. From here you can have a wide view of the city and also from some amazing gardens. Unfortunately we had torrential rain as soon as we arrived there but it was well worth the visit.

It's a decent hike up the hill that's worth the effort. You'll be rewarded by a great view of Florence and if you're lucky, a sunset over Florence is a majestic view after all. However, there are just too many tourists at the peak that might diminish your experience overall.

Piazzale Michelangelo is hands down one of the best places in Florence to catch the sunset. The panoramic view of the city is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the entire skyline bathed in golden light. It’s one of those moments that make you fall in love with Florence all over again. Be sure to arrive a little early — the place fills up quickly, especially around sunset. I took the bus up and was lucky to get on; several others had to wait because it was already packed. If you enjoy walking, you can also hike up from the river for a great workout and an even better reward at the top! The atmosphere is fantastic — people chatting, musicians playing, couples dancing, and everyone just soaking in the magic of the view. It’s lively yet peaceful at the same time. An unforgettable experience and one of the must-see spots in Florence. I’d come back in a heartbeat to watch the sun set over that beautiful city again.

Stunning place to see the whole city view. During the night lights, city shines even more. You have road climbing and stairs climbing at the same time. They also have some bars, restaurants and gift shops on the top. The place, worth to see if you in Florence.

You have to see the city from this view, it’s fantastic. We were there on a Sunday in November and although there was a decent sized crowd, it wasn’t overwhelming. I can imagine in the summer months this place is crawling with people especially at sunset.

Beautiful experience! If you’re lucky to get a sunny day, all of Florence turns orange with beautiful lighting at sunset. You can see the entire city from up here. There are a lot of people, but the place is big enough to find your own spot. There are also food trucks and places to eat and drink if you’re looking for that kind of experience.

The Florence Duomo is more than just a building; it is an architectural symbol of the entire Italian Renaissance, dominating the city and the skyline. What immediately strikes you is the opulence and intricacy of its decoration. The façade, clad in colored marble (white from Carrara, green from Prato, and pink from Maremma), is a stunning sight. Nearby stands Giotto's majestic Campanile and the ancient Baptistery of San Giovanni, decorated with a black-and-white geometric pattern on the outside. Brunelleschi's dome itself is an engineering marvel of the era, visible from virtually anywhere in the city. Climb beneath it to admire the stunning fresco cycle "The Last Judgment." The frescoes are striking in their scale and detail. They depict Christ in glory, the Virgin Mary, and detailed scenes of the saved and condemned. The interior of the main nave has majestic but more restrained proportions than its exterior. Note the unusual details, such as the 24-hour clock (the so-called Hora Italica) by Paolo Uccello above the entrance. The nave also features monumental equestrian frescoes, including an image of the condottiere John Hawkwood, and marble tombstones. The Duomo complex is the pinnacle of Florentine art and architecture. The exterior of the façade and Campanile is a triumph of color and decoration, while the interior, especially the monumental frescoes of the dome, makes one feel like a tiny speck of dust in the midst of history and art. But be aware that you'll have to wait in line for 20 minutes to an hour to get inside.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore — or the Duomo — is absolutely breathtaking! The architecture alone is enough to leave you in awe, but climbing up to the roof was a real highlight. From the top, you get an incredible view of Florence, the surrounding rooftops, and the Duomo itself in all its glory. It’s the perfect spot for photos and to truly appreciate the scale and beauty of this masterpiece. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The frescoes, stained glass, and intricate details showcase the artistry and devotion poured into every inch of the building. Even just walking around the piazza, the grandeur of the Duomo dominates the skyline and gives a real sense of Florence’s history and culture. If you’re visiting Florence, don’t miss climbing the dome — it’s a bit of a workout, but totally worth it. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore isn’t just a landmark; it’s an unforgettable experience that captures the spirit and beauty of the city.

This one is hard... I can't give it 5 stars. First of all the Cathedral is GORGEOUS from the outside, way too many people for the free entry. We had a Brunelleschi Pass and to be able to enter the cathedral and visit the Santa Reparata, we waited almost one hour outside, raining! The Dome was amazing to climb (again lots of people) but dear lord, the church inside is so anti climatic. I could not believe my eyes! The Batistero was a complete disaster. It's being renovated so you enter to look up and see some replica of the ceiling on some tissue... Honesyit would be better if they closed that place until it's done. The views from the Dome are just spectacular. The outside marble work is amazing. 1 star less for the overly crowded experience and the "disappointing interior"

Climbed the Dome and the Bell Tower. An absolutely incredible experience. You get to see the Dome interior fresco up close. Up at the top, you get the whole view of Florence which is stunning and breathtaking. Highly recommend anyone who are physically fit to do the climb and remember to buy tickets in advance as tickets will be sold out for the day.

Florence Cathedral, Florence, Italy. It is situated in the Piazza del Duomo in the heart of Florence's historic center. It's iconic dome, was designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, took 16 years to build and happens to be the largest masonry dome in the world. It commenced in 1296 in a Gothic Style and was completed by 1436. It's exterior is faced with marble panels featuring an elaborate 19th Cent. Gothic revival facade. An extremely fascinating and Awesome structure, which couldn't be clicked in just a few shots.

I attended Sunday Mass at the Duomo in Firenze this morning, Santa Maria del Fiore, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Construction began in 1296 and the church was not consecrated until 1436, 140 years later! It is of the largest cathedrals in the world. Brunelleschi's Dome is still the largest brick dome ever constructed. It was a groundbreaking undertaking of engineering in its time.

Humongous cathedrals and very iconic. Could not go in but I would recommend doing a ticketing system where you can buy to go in because although it’s free, the queue almost circles the entire cathedral. Very pretty architecture and detailed, similar to the one in Milan.

It was such a great experience visiting the Accademia di Firenze! The sculptures and paintings are absolutely wonderful, and the place is quite large - you’ll need plenty of time to explore. I bought a skip-the-line ticket in advance, so I didn’t have to wait at all and could enter right away. Totally worth it! Otherwise, you’ll have to queue for a long time.

The Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence is one of the most inspiring places to experience the essence of the Renaissance. Though smaller than the Uffizi, it holds one of the greatest treasures of human creativity — Michelangelo’s David. Seeing it in person is overwhelming: carved from a single block of marble between 1501 and 1504, the 5.17-meter figure stands tall and alive, every muscle and vein rendered with breathtaking precision. The sculpture captures both physical perfection and the inner courage of Florence’s republican spirit, embodying the Renaissance belief in human potential. Beyond David, the gallery offers an intimate journey through Florentine art from the 14th to 16th centuries. The “Prisoners” — Michelangelo’s unfinished statues — seem to struggle to free themselves from the marble, revealing the artist’s process and philosophy. The museum also includes a fascinating collection of historical musical instruments, adding depth and variety to the visit. The atmosphere is serene, especially during early morning hours. Booking a skip-the-line ticket is recommended to avoid crowds. Though compact, the Accademia’s focused layout allows visitors to truly appreciate the masterpieces without distraction. Standing before David is not just an art encounter — it’s an emotional connection to the genius and ideals that defined an entire era.

The David and the prisoners is a must see. The corridor they are within? Magnificent. I highly highly recommend making sure you go through it in the direction that has you entering the prisoner's/David's room/corridor from the far end though. If you go through the music section first, which is quite good, you will enter halfway through the prisoners, and some of the effect will be lost. Overall my favorite Galleria we went to!

The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze is an absolute must-visit when in Florence. It’s not a large museum, but every corner holds something fascinating — and of course, the highlight is David. Seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece in person is breathtaking; no photo can truly capture its scale, detail, and presence. Standing before it, you can feel the energy, perfection, and genius behind every carved muscle and curve of marble. The museum also features other wonderful works by Michelangelo and Renaissance artists, as well as a beautiful collection of paintings and sculptures that give you a real sense of Florence’s artistic soul. We visited in the afternoon and found the crowds manageable, though booking tickets ahead of time is a good idea. The visit doesn’t take long — about an hour or so — but it’s one of those experiences that stays with you. The Accademia is more than just a museum; it’s a quiet, reverent space that reminds you why Florence is called the cradle of the Renaissance. Don’t miss it — David alone is worth the trip.

A beautiful museum with Michelangelo’s genius as the highlight. Seeing David up close was surreal knowing he carved such perfection from a single block of marble left me in awe. A must-visit in Florence.

Make sure you pre book to avoid queues. I can't imagine what they are like in peak period as we went early evening in November and it was still very busy. However, the exhibits were amazing and obviously the main attraction being Michaelangelos David!!

One of the best experiences visiting a gallery in life. I recommend buying tickets online before your arrival to ensure that you don't have to wait in line. This is a "must-visit place" in Florence.

We visited the Ferrari Museum in Maranello as a family, and although it’s not the first place you’d imagine bringing a baby, it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We decided to leave the stroller in the car and use our Ergobaby carrier instead, and that was the perfect choice — it gave us full freedom to move around without worrying about stairs or elevators, and our daughter was cozy, calm, and close to us the whole time. The museum itself is spotless, modern, and beautifully designed. From the very first hall, with rows of gleaming red cars under dramatic lighting, we felt immersed in the Ferrari legend. Our little one, still so small, was captivated by the reflections and the bright colors — her eyes kept darting from car to car, and several visitors stopped to smile at her reactions. Those small moments made us feel really welcome, and staff members were also warm and attentive without ever being intrusive. The exhibitions cover both Ferrari’s road cars and its Formula 1 history. On the practical side, the museum worked well with a baby. The restrooms were very clean, though not perfectly equipped for diaper changes, but we managed without trouble. The only real downside for us was the price: tickets are 27€ per adult. For a museum that takes about one to two hours to visit, it feels expensive, and I think a family ticket or a slightly lower entry fee would make the experience more accessible. That’s the only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five, because otherwise it was a truly memorable and surprisingly baby-friendly outing. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Ferrari Museum in Maranello even with a little one. Using a baby carrier made it very easy, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it gave us a special family memory in a place you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be child-friendly. For us, it was worth it — an unforgettable mix of Ferrari’s world and our own new chapter as parents.

Very modern and stylish museum for Ferrari cars. A unique collection of road, prototype and racing cars from the early years up until now. Rather small compared to Porsche and Mercedes museums in Stuttgart, but that was the only “negative” and hence 4 of 5 stars. Nevertheless, for anyone with petrol in the blood, this is a truly great visit and experience!

A good place for Ferrari or car enthusiasts. Is a bit of a trek from Modena, but they have a bus leaving from the station once daily in the morning. Use the link on the museum ticketing page to book a seat. Tickets sold on the bus but pre oiled seats will get preference. The museum itself is well laid out and has lots of cars on display. From the early models to F1 cars. Kids over 150cm can get on the stimulators for a 7 minute test ride. The stimulators are pretty good. Gift shop is expensive but has a few scale models around the 30 Euro mark. You can't buy just one, has to be bought with another item. Magnets, key chains etc are 20 euro so better off buying 2 models instead. An hourly public bus runs at 18 minutes on the hour from a nearby bus stand, takes 45 minutes to Modena. Better to take this than stay till 2:45 when the museum bus leaves. Walking to the bus stand we saw some options for a ride in a Ferrari car outside. Was a rainy day so did not explore around, but doesn't look like there is much else in the surrounding area

The Ferrari Museum in Maranello remains one of the essential stops for any automotive enthusiast — and for Ferrari fans, it’s practically sacred ground. The F1 display alone is worth the visit: an incredible lineup of race cars that showcases the evolution of Ferrari’s championship heritage in a breathtaking way. The collection of special cars is equally impressive, with the highlight for me being the ultra-rare 288 GTO Evoluzione — an unbelievable treat to see in person. However, one negative moment stood out during this visit. A woman managing the foot traffic at the entrance made us wait outside for no clear reason, and her attitude came across as unnecessarily rude. It genuinely took away from an otherwise fantastic experience for several of us. It’s a shame, because everything else inside the museum was excellent. On a brighter note, the gift shop is fantastic, packed with high-quality merchandise that any Ferrari fanatic would love. I’ve been to the museum multiple times, and despite the small hiccup, I’ll continue to return. It’s a must-visit when in Maranello — a place where Ferrari’s history, passion, and spirit truly come alive.

I changed my route on the way back to the Netherlands just to visit the Ferrari Museum. As a designer, I expected something inspiring and memorable, but that moment never came. Arriving in Maranello is actually the best part, with a great view of the factory. At the museum the experience drops immediately. The outside looks messy and the paid parking system is poorly organised. The payment machine is on the opposite side of the building, so you walk back and forth before you can even enter. Inside, the student discount is nice. Upstairs it starts promising with a few special cars, but then you are met with an overwhelming amount of text. The English explanations are entirely in italic, which becomes tiring to read. Text on the walls is printed extremely large and the information next to the cars is placed very low to the ground. It does not feel visitor friendly. The biggest disappointment is how static everything is. There is nothing interactive, no sound design, no immersive elements, no behind-the-scenes look at the design or engineering. For a brand built on emotion and innovation, the museum feels strangely flat. There are around fifteen cars and you are done in about twenty minutes. At the end you can pay twenty euros to sit in a Ferrari for a photo, which feels unnecessary. The shop looks nice at first but the prices are shocking. A cap for €65 and a basic T-shirt for €85, all made in China. For a brand known for Italian craftsmanship, this feels disappointing. I expected a world-class, inspiring museum from Ferrari. Instead it felt like a short and text heavy exhibition with very little magic. A missed opportunity.

Well, it speaks for itself, the museum of the greatest car maker in the world. A must see probably for everyone, not just car lovers. If you go on weekends don't rush to be too early there, there were far less people waiting to go in as we left. The parking lot directly at the museum is pretty small and gets occupied quickly, so use the other one, it's also free and only one street north from the museum. For exiting you need the bar code of your ticket, so if you did not buy it online, don't throw it away. One can take photos in an F8 Tributo at the end of the tour even if one did not book it, it is of course charged. You can drive in an F1 Simulator, I recommend you book your desired time slot for that one.

A wonderful collection and curation of Ferrari. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the write up behind each vehicle. Parking was available on site with overflow parking across the road. Free parking for ticket holders and you just scan your barcode to exit the overflow parking.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.

Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it

A beautiful and vibrant city center with a perfect blend of history, culture, and modern charm. The magnificent Neptune sculpture stands proudly as a centerpiece, surrounded by elegant architecture and lively public spaces. The nearby library adds a touch of intellectual and cultural richness, making it a pleasant area to explore and relax. Everything is within easy walking distance — from charming cafés and local boutiques to upscale shopping destinations such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Bottega Veneta. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, shopping, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this area offers an enjoyable and well-balanced urban experience

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

Great central square and public space used to great effect, every evening i was there, a stage was set with speakers talking about future possibilities, and last night an italian classic covering themes like poverty, innocence, friendship from the viewpoint of a young boy. I believe there is a free movie every evening until end of August. Over 500 seats were taken which shows people have an appetite to use pubic spaces in creative ways, well done bologna!

The nightlife in this pizza was unbelievable! We were there at 12:00 am and the live music was still going on with a good crowd and didn't seem it's going to go down anytime soon! Beautiful, big piazza with good vibes and plenty steps to sit on and chill.

Beautifully restored towers in central bologna - monumental of Bologna’s history. The towers served as status symbols, and the city once had 80 to 180 towers as people competed to outdo one another in status.

Impressive historical landmarks in the heart of Bologna. The taller tower, Asinelli, offers a breathtaking panoramic view if you're up for the 498-step climb. The smaller, Garisenda, leans dramatically and adds to the charm. A must-see for anyone visiting the city!

The Two Towers of Bologna (Le Due Torri) – A must-see landmark in Bologna! Standing tall in the heart of the city, the towers are not only impressive but also full of history. Walking around them gives you a true sense of medieval Bologna. Truly iconic and worth the visit!

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.

Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.

We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Absolutely beautiful tourist attraction, a lot of history. Unfortunately climbing up wasnt an option as it got closed when I went to visit a week ago.

Lots of neat artwork, but what you get to see for the €15 entry pales in comparison the the Ducal Palace complex including the San Giorgio castle (same entry fee) and museums. It was neat to check out, but if you only have time or funds for one, this is not the better choice considering offerings options and price. But it sure is worth stroll thru if you are here and interested. Different style of artwork than a lot we saw around there. Don't forget the grotto before you leave!

This is the palace built by the royal family of Mantua, as a palace of leisure, now a museum. It is richly decorated with frescoes, including those by Giulio Romano. My favorite room was The Hall of the Giants alhough others were also quite beautiful. There is a good audioguide in English and other languages.

Palazzo Te is a stunning example of Italian Mannerist architecture and a must-see for art and history lovers. Built in the 16th century by Giulio Romano for Federico II Gonzaga, it’s both elegant and eccentric. The highlight is the Sala dei Giganti, where dramatic frescoes engulf visitors in a collapsing world of myth. The palace’s playful illusions and masterful fresco work make it feel more like a theatrical experience than a museum. While it’s not massive, the artistry is unforgettable. A unique gem in Mantua that blends grandeur with creative flair.

A gorgeous piece of history that is still standing today. Seeing Palazzo Te transports you back in time, and feels as though you’re in a dream. We visited the wonderful November 2023 exhibition, and the place was in pristine condition. The infamous Sala dei Giganti e Sala dei Cavalli are not to be missed! Staff are extremely kind, and like all other museums in Italy, they offer discounts for students, elderly people and children.

Great garden. The palace is not very big but has interesting rooms to see. Most of them were too provocative for mine taste of art but all of them were made with grace and detailed. The sun and the moon was my favourite . It was very shocking for me that every place in Montova has different working hours in every day of the week. So if you are planning to visit definitely take the working hours map from the info point.

A place to visit with a guide that can tell you all the secrets behind the artworks you’ll see not only the epic stories that inspired the works , every room and every image has a story you’ll miss

Very impressive palace with water and a garden. Our tour guide Simone was a lovely and hilarious addition to the experience. The palace's rooms offer a very diverse selection of decorations, some of the frescoes make you wonder what kind of orgies they were celebrating. If you're planning to open a queer club, go here for inspiration!

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 had an absolutely fabulous day at the Gardaland! You feel like in a fairytale, and all the roller coasters are very exciting! 😍 I recommend going on a (rainy) weekday, so the queues are shorter and you manage to see everything. Feel free to skip the Jumanji Adventure ride though, it’s not quite worth a 40+ minute wait.

Another amazing amusememt park for kids and older as well. Rides get pretty busy with the nice weather, like in every resort. I wish there was a better overview what each ride offers - we waited 90 minutes for Jumanji adventure, which was absolutely no advanture plus it was all in Italian. Other than that, only 4 rides required height over 140, few over 130. Make sure to check these requirements before going. Also, buying tickets outside od the official venue office is cheaper so look for those selling points in the city.

We visited Gardaland on a Wednesday and had an amazing time! 🎢 The waiting time for each ride was less than 15 minutes, which made the whole experience super smooth. The official app showing live queue times was very helpful — it helped us plan our route efficiently and enjoy more rides. The park is clean, beautifully themed, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and organized, and there were plenty of food options and rest areas. Both the kids and adults had a blast — from the thrilling roller coasters to the fun family attractions. Highly recommend visiting on a weekday if possible — short queues, great atmosphere, and so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic for kiddies as there is a great balance of calmer rides with ease of motion while still holding very good production value. The adult rides too are equally fantastic. I hold the overall experience below Europa park however and wouldn't go too far out of my way to visit it.

So much fun, there's something for everyone. We also went during weekday in October, there was minimal queue and wait time even on popular rides. Absolutely recommended visiting if you have kids and are in the area.

We had such a fantastic time at Gardaland! The park is full of magic, excitement, and plenty of things to do for both kids and adults.There are so many attractions from thrilling rides to fun games that kept us entertained all day. The decorations and themed areas are beautiful and immersive, making it feel like stepping into another world.The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well-organized despite the crowds. It’s also worth mentioning that the park is very clean and well-maintained, and there are plenty of places to relax, grab food, or cool down.If you’re visiting Italy with kids, Gardaland is absolutely worth it. We left with big smiles and a new fluffy friend. we recommend

I am sure that a family would love this place...my wife and stayed at the Gardaland hotel, and rode the bus to the park in the morning (bus runs every 16 minutes) We love roller coasters and these did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very family friendly and the park is very well cared for (it's clean!) over all a great experience.

This is a very cool historical adventure. The tour was worth the ticket price, the grounds are gorgeous, and we had the best time learning about the history of the owner and his life. Make sure you buy tickets at least the day before. And even if they say the tour is only available in Italian, they will provide information in other languages as well. Plan to spend about 3 hours exploring the grounds and touring the house.

Very nice place, but beware, there are LOTS OF STAIRS! So. Many. Stairs. Never-ending stairs. And even more stairs! I do not recommend anyone to try going here with a stroller, although my arm muscles probably doubled in size after lugging our stroller filled with food, drinks, and a one-year-old up and down the million stairs here. But otherwise, definitely well worth the visit, the views are beautiful, photogenic, and seeing a boat in the middle of an Italian hillside is very unusual! It wasn't overcrowded (September Sunday afternoon), and we got our tickets on the spot with no problem (although we didn't go on a tour of the house).

The park is very nice, the views of the Garda are amazing, but the museum itself tells a very superficial and one sided story about D'Annunzio. On a weekend in October it was well visited, but you never get the impression it is too full

Must visit 🤩 i really enjoyed the tour .. so many beautiful things to see ❤️

Very nice architecture and lakeshore view.The owner is a very tasteful person.His home is as beautiful as his literature.

This was a highlight of our trip around Lake Garda. Very well put together and good English tour guide.

Very beautiful, I really liked the contemporary art and wonderful nature. The ship is very impressive, and so is the museum in its bow. The mausoleum is also impressive and grants you a great view of the Garda lake. Just too bad not everything is translates, the majority of info plaques are solely in Italian.

Despite what many believe, Juliet was not a real historical person. This house once belonged to the Cappello family — a name that inspired Shakespeare’s “Capulet.” The famous balcony was added centuries later to recreate the feeling of the legendary love story of Romeo and Juliet. Still, the place has an undeniable charm. Visitors come from all over the world to leave love notes, touch Juliet’s statue for luck, and feel the spirit of romance that Verona is famous for. A must-see, even if the story is a beautiful myth. ❤️

If you are a fan of the immortal story of two lovers, then you must visit Juliet's house. The house is constantly besieged by tourists, so think carefully about when you want to visit (preferably in the morning). I personally like the collection of artworks in the house, and the original wall paintings are also impressive. I recommend that everyone who visits the house also visit Romeo's home. It is completely overlooked, and only rarely do tourists stop at the memorial plaque on the site where his home once stood.

Still, this place has sadly lost some of its romance. The inner courtyard is flooded with crowds – noise, long lines to touch Juliet’s statue, and cameras flashing from every direction. There’s little real romance left; it feels more like a tourist ritual than a place of love. The museum is interesting to visit, with Juliet’s statue and a few authentic details, but you’ll feel the true spirit of Verona much more while wandering through its charming streets than standing amidst the crowds.

Casa di Giulietta in Verona is a romantic landmark linked to Shakespeare’s Juliet. The 13th-century house features a charming balcony said to inspire the famous scene from _Romeo and Juliet_. Visitors leave love notes on its walls, making it a symbol of timeless passion and literary enchantment. By the way it is very crowded.

Paying the ticket to see the house is much better than the experience outside. Even in low season was completely crowded to the point that the statue looked even nervous herself. There is the same statue inside the house with no crowd, and from the house you can take a picture from the balcony. Staff is kind of rude

This was a tourist trap. The balcony is way small and only 2 persons can fit. We did not visit the inside of the house because of the reviews on Google saying that it was nothing special. The yard was ok and we got to take pictures of the statue of Juliete and the wall of letters. There was a shop nearby that could costumise everything you wanted to by that was nice. The store inside the house has only overpriced magnets and pens for tourists.

Wow every romantic person women ,man or couple need to visit this place and even if you not into romantic things definitely take your partner there is famous balcony spirit is still there for 2 people who love eachother but can't be toghtether is nice fairy tale and you need to be part of it, try get there in the morning when is less busy and dont forget Mark pen to write down something on wall

📍 Piazza delle Erbe – Verona, Italy 🇮🇹 One of Verona’s most vibrant squares 🌟, surrounded by historic buildings, frescoed facades 🎨, and lively cafés ☕. Once a Roman forum, today it’s full of market stalls 🛍️ selling souvenirs, fruits, and local goods. The square is always bustling 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ with both locals and tourists, giving it a lively atmosphere day and night. A great place to sit with a drink 🍹, people-watch, and soak in the heart of Verona’s old town. 🙌

Great Piazza. Market stalls most days with plenty to choose from. Restaurants along one side so great if thirsty or hungry. Historic buildings all around. Well worth the visit

Piazza delle Erbe is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares in all of Italy. Surrounded by elegant palaces, medieval towers, and richly decorated façades, it feels like stepping back in time. The square has been the beating heart of Verona since the Roman era, once serving as the city’s forum, and today it still pulses with life from morning to night. The architecture is breathtaking — from the frescoed façades of the Mazzanti Houses to the Baroque Palazzo Maffei with its statues of classical gods. Every corner seems to tell a story of centuries gone by, blending Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influences seamlessly. That said, it is incredibly crowded, especially during peak hours. Tour groups, market stalls, and cafés all compete for space, so be prepared for a lively (and sometimes overwhelming) atmosphere. Still, even with the crowds, the energy of the square only adds to its charm. If you’re visiting Verona, Piazza delle Erbe is absolutely unmissable. Come early in the morning or later in the evening if you want a quieter experience, but at any time of day, it’s a stunning place to soak in history, architecture, and authentic Italian life.

I truly enjoyed strolling through Piazza delle Erbe, Verona’s oldest square. It’s a vibrant blend of history and daily life—once a Roman forum, now surrounded by medieval buildings, frescoed facades, and lively cafés. The square hosts bustling markets and iconic monuments like the Colonna di San Marco and Fontana di Madonna Verona. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was a real pleasure to take in all the beautiful historic architecture.

Piazza delle Erbe is a truly beautiful square. It's lined with a row of stunning buildings, with the most magnificent of all—Palazzo Maffei—standing proudly at one end. In the center, you'll find the impressive Madonna Fountain of Verona and a bustling bazaar full of life. The edges of the square are dotted with charming-looking restaurants, shops and cafés. We didn’t eat there ourselves, though, as the square was quite crowded with fellow tourists. That said, we did find a few quieter corners along the edges, perfect for sitting back and watching people pass by—it was quite entertaining!

A beautiful square that feels big but still quite cozy. In my opinion, it’s definitely more interesting than the large one by the Arena. From here you’ve got direct access to Juliet’s house, plus plenty of nice restaurants, narrow streets, and cafés all around. The atmosphere is fantastic – you could wander here all day.

Unassuming plaza with statues and fountains surrounded by beautiful buildings from times gone past. Several street cafes offering food and drink at reasonable prices. A great place for people watching and soaking up the atmosphere re.

A bit too windy on top and way colder than at the lake but the views were amazing! We could see the lake very well, and the mountains around us. You should definitely go to the top if you’re at Lake Garda! It’s a good spot for paragliding, if you’re interested in that.

Great views of mountains and Lake Garda. Cable cars are good. BUT, online booking didn't work so had to queue in blazing sun for 25 minutes and then join the main queue for a further hour and a half. I wouldn't bother going again.

Hiking with astonishing views on Garda Lake is amazing. Rout to Monte Baldo is not very hard but still demanding. Down is hot, up much colder. Not many tourists, no crowd. Only beautiful surroundings, nature and sun. 5 hours walk worth to make!

it is said - buy a ticket online - avoid the queue ! - but that is not true! - don’t bother! you enter the building and there is a queue for 2 hours! and everyone stands together - you can’t avoid queue at all! and it is super hot :( I do not recommend it in high season unless you have the whole day free and like waiting in a huge crowd:(

Great view over Lake Garda, you could take the cable car from Malcesine, or drive by car and then walk 30-45 min.

I loved the whole experience, went on a Monday and there weren’t lots of people so more fun and no queues incase you wanna go for biking, cable car or paragliding. Beautiful panoramic. I loved the cows 😆🥰

Splendid view in the lake and many ridges in the other side of the mountain. Paragliders made it a picturesque scene. We liked it all the way.

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 exterior looks promising but the interior and amount of content is fairly limited. In comparison the much older natural science museum in Bergamo is much more interesting and holds much more specimens. That’s being said, it’s still a good option for a rainy day.

Worth visiting natural history museum Plenty of interactive activities, mostly for children ( but not only) Through the visit someone gets an full picture of the natural/ history and evolution of planet mostly on Dolomites area Nice garden worth visiting, with all stages of blooming in front of visitors eyes

Great place for kids, and adults too. 5 stories of natural/tech entertainment with plenty of interactive activities. You can easily spend 3h there. Booking in advance highly recommended, especially on peak season. Tickets are timeslotted, with entries every 30 mins or so. Tickets is pretty cheap and with family packages options.

Beautiful museum with lots of possibilities to learn about interconnection of nature and animals as well as impacts of day to day behavior on our ecosystem. Ohr kids loved the self-experience area on second floor

Great museum for kids. Our 5yo boy was impressed by dinosaurs and interactive stands. 2 hours was enough.

An excellent, medium-sized museum with a rich and diverse exhibition. It's sensibly arranged so you can explore it according to your needs—some sections in detail, others just for a quick glance. A lot about natural history and a bit about the human impact on it. Interesting for both adults and children, even for easily bored teenagers—proven! Many interactive elements will delight young visitors. And the building itself - a piece od excellent architekture by Renzo Piano, worth seeing!

This is the most wonderful science museum I’ve ever visited. It has 5 floors of exhibitions and the last one is a terrace with great view. There is even a greenhouse with tropical plants, live birds, butterflies, fishes. There are a lot of activities for children, so they can learn, play and have fun in a museum. I love the whole idea and how it was executed. I highly recommend this museum both for children and adults.

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

Absolutely wonderful gardens, walks and fascinating flowers, trees and animals. Certainly worth a visit as the colours are exceptional.

We’ve visited the gardens and the castle in autumn. It was still worth it. You really need a whole day to see everything. It is very big. It is perfect for kids. They have baby goats and small farm animals. Beautiful views. We will come in summer.

Great place with a beautiful garden. You can stay hours and enjoy the beauty. Easy access by buses from the center.

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

Must see if you are in the area, 3-4 hours is minimum to be able to see all

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

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

Visited in the autumn season — no snow, but the view was absolutely stunning! 🍁 The surrounding mountains and lakes looked breathtaking in golden shades. The cable car ride was smooth and offered amazing panoramic views. Even without snow, Zugspitze felt peaceful and majestic.

Very cool, highly recommend even if the mountain is covered in clouds up top. If that’s the case it would be nice if the ticket was discounted, but rain or shine it’s 75€ per person. There’s a restaurant & bar up there as well

Beautiful view, great experience as tourists. there is another cable that takes you to the skiing part it is on the other side of the mountain. car park just outside the cable station. restaurants and shop accessible restrooms very clean. there are 2 options to get up/down to Zugspitze, cable or train. it is 75€ 2 ways on the cable I felt terrible pressure going down so mabe it is better to take the train down.

Great place to visit if you want to experience high altitudes without actual climbing. Fast transfer by the cablecar, or more slow ascent by cogwheel train. The building at the summit has multiple floors and observation desks, you can cross to the Austrian side. There are restaurants on both sides. You can also take another cable car to the other side and play in the snow, even in August. Breathtaking views. Go early in the day to beat the clouds. There is also a small church. The bravest ones can climb the actual summit with the cross. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours and bring a sweater. Even in August.

The Zugspitze is the largest mountain of the Germany situated in the range of Alps Mountain, located on the scenic border between Germany and Austria, is an unforgettable experience and a must do especially for the fully snow covered peak and the thrill of the ascent. I highly recommend the cable car over the cogwheel train for the most breathtaking views, though both are covered in the approximately €75 combined ticket (which includes skiing access). We started by riding straight to the summit for a stunning, almost indescribable panorama, witnessing the sunset from the peak was a truly magical moment. We then descended to the lower Zugspitzplatt where the vast snow fields feel like a different universe perfect for playing in the snow and skiing. The ample parking, the presence of helpful mountain volunteers, and the organized operation make it a safe and enjoyable trip. Tip: Be sure to wear appropriate gear, especially warmers and gloves, and note that the last descent is strictly enforced, so plan to be back on the train or cable car around 4:30 PM. A truly wonderful and perfect day trip!

You can take the train to the mountain, from there you can take a cable car to the top. This was one of the greatest experiences we had it was so much fun going to the top. When you reach the top there’s snow everywhere and free sleds you can take and have some fun like you were a child. It’s really beautiful and worth every cent. There’s a restaurant on the top where you can enjoy a beer the good was also great

Zugspitze was amazing! The views were absolutely stunning and the mountain lounge was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The cheesecake wasn’t the best, but honestly, the view made up for it.

The castle location is so beautiful. It is a treat for the sight just to hike towards the castle that is surrounded by bavarian alps. The guided tour, on the other hand is rather short (only 30min). The rooms are accessible only by lots of stairs and no photography is allowed. Only 14 castle rooms were furnished. Furthermore during our visit the cafe was also closed. This was a bummer since the ticket is so expensive for 23euros per person. Furthermore even though young kids are allowed inside the castle for free they need their own ticket and it can't be booked online. The ticket we got got our toddler from the information booth did not have a scan code and my daughter could not get inside so i had to run to fund security to let her inside. The security guide solved the issue quickly though. The point is that the ticket handling system must be more organized and improved upon. On the other hand, the cave room, singers room and the balcony were breath taking so the hassle was kind of worth it. The ticket price should be reduced though. I would say overall it was a very pleasant experience.

A real-life Disney castle — but truly so much more than that! ✨ I still couldn’t get enough of this place. Every corner feels like stepping into a fairytale. The guided tour is a must — make sure to book it early, as tickets sell out fast. No photos are allowed inside, but it’s absolutely worth it. Each room reflects incredible richness, elegance, and the artistic soul of King Ludwig II — his passion for theatre, music, and beauty shines through every detail. It’s about a 20-minute walk uphill from the ticket area, but they also offer bus services (check the timings!) and horse-drawn carriage rides for a more scenic way up. The path is a bit steep, but once you reach the top, the view and the castle itself make every step worth it. King Ludwig II was truly a dreamer — and walking through his creation feels like walking inside his imagination. Go see it — it’s magical, surreal, and simply unforgettable. 🌄💙

The castle is located in a beautiful setting. Tickets may be bought online or in person (reservation recommended for peak season). There’s free shuttle from downtown Füssen to the ticket center. There’s plenty of paid parking. To get up to the castle you may hire a chariot or walk up for 30-40 minutes. The scenery is beautiful and it is worth the walk. During summer the path is shaded by the threes. Inside the castle there’s plenty of stairs to go up. I advise looking up if it is wheelchair accessible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5-Star Review – Neuschwanstein Castle Parking at Platz 4 is very spacious and costs €12 for 6 hours, conveniently located right next to where you catch the bus up to the castle. The bus fare is €5 per adult round trip, and it’s a smooth ride with beautiful scenery along the way. At the top, the area is clear and open, perfect for walking or biking with stunning views all around. The trails are beautiful, offering several photo spots and breathtaking panoramas of the castle and the valley below. There’s also a small snack and souvenir shop at the top with plenty of space and clean bathrooms, making it an easy and comfortable stop before or after exploring. Overall, Neuschwanstein Castle is a magical experience — well worth the visit and the walk. The scenery alone makes it unforgettable!

When near Fussen and Schwangau Neuschwanstein Castle is a must. A beautiful 40 minute uphill walk will bring you there. You can take a shuttle or horse and buggy but the walk is doable if you like and are used to walking/hiking. We did not pay to go in but got good photos from many vantage points outside.

You won't regret visiting here. It's beautiful on the outside but absolutely gorgeous on the inside. If you have trouble walking, definitely take the horse carriage up and/or down (costs money). The walk down is much easier. They have the cutest store after the tour and don't forget to check out the view outside near the bathrooms before leaving. You will not regret it!!

Absolutely breathtaking and immersive. The hike up is beautiful and you can take your time just enjoying the scenery. Plenty of photo opportunities outside of the castle, but no pictures inside until you get to the cafe.

Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.

Great visit. A total of two sets is cable car takes you to the top location. The views are splendid. Allow approx. 3 hours for the complete trip.

Amazing thing to do when you want to escape the heat in the city on a hot cloudless day! Cable car and gondola can be packed. Getting tickets online is a good idea. It’s not cheap but the views totally worth it!

I came here in March 2025 I had a brilliant time going to The Top Of Innsbruck. Exciting travel up the mountain. Short but sweet walks. Brilliant views. Food and drink options. A very fun climb to the top. wait time for cable cars is usually not too bad.

Cost is slightly high but the experience is the best, must to do activity. Don’t miss to go to the top where there is a cross, it is a small treck but the view from apex is heavenly.

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

This is worth an experience. The views are just stunning and you can see whole of Innsbruck scattered and beautiful. This is one of the must go places in Innsbruck. It takes you to the highest point where you can go for a small hike.

Marienplatz is the beating heart of Munich — lively, historic, and absolutely beautiful. The New Town Hall is breathtaking, and the Glockenspiel show is worth waiting for. Whether you’re sightseeing, shopping, or just people-watching with a coffee, this square has the perfect Munich vibe.”❤️❤️❤️❤️

Marienplatz is the heart of Munich — full of life, history, and charm. The stunning architecture, lively atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings make it a must-visit spot. Whether you’re watching the Glockenspiel or enjoying a coffee nearby, every moment here feels special.

Considered the heart of Munich, this vibrant street offers everything you need. Shopping centers, restaurants, and cafes line the entire avenue, making it a truly beautiful place for shopping and strolling. Don't miss the opportunity to visit.

When I went out from underground it was just.. breathtaking. Place is pretty and alive. There's a lot of people, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Marienplatz is just a heart of Munich. I highly recommend visiting this place!

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

My favorite place to stroll around, watch people, and just enjoy the city vibe. You can walk, shop, eat, and simply get lost in the charm of Munich. There’s something about this place — the mix of old buildings, lively atmosphere, and cozy corners — that makes me always end up staying longer than planned. If you’re in Munich, just come here with no plan. Let the city take you wherever it wants to. ✨

The city center of Munich is an absolutely stunning and lively area centered around the famed Marienplatz. Dominated by the magnificent Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall), a Neo-Gothic architectural gem, the square's highlight is the famous Glockenspiel, which draws crowds daily to watch its mechanical figures perform. The area is a fantastic blend of history and modern life, with the towering Frauenkirche (Cathedral) just a short walk away, alongside the bustling Viktualienmarkt and the start of the main pedestrian shopping zones (like Kaufingerstraße). Whether you're sightseeing at the Residenz, shopping for luxury goods, or simply soaking up the authentic Bavarian atmosphere at a nearby Wirtshaus, the city center serves as the perfect, walkable hub for exploring all that Munich has to offer.

A kind of “Central Park” in Munich – a very nice place to visit. The park is spacious, green, and perfect for a walk or to just relax. A special highlight is the surfers on the river – definitely a must-see attraction that makes this place unique.

One of the best places of the city. Perfect for strolling around, making picnics, relax to the sound of the leaves. For me, the best spot is the lake, where you can sit next to lots of ducks and other kinds of bird.

The English Garden in autumn is absolutely stunning. The trees turn golden, red, and orange, creating a beautiful contrast with the rivers and meadows. It’s perfect for peaceful walks, cycling, or just relaxing under the colorful leaves. The atmosphere feels calm and magical — a must-visit spot to experience Munich’s fall beauty.

A very beautiful place to visit. Basically u can do any outdoor activity outside, volleyball..picnics..football…even surfing?? So surprised. The water is very clear, u can see through it till the bottom. Full of energy.

The Heart of Nature in Munich 🌿 The English Garden is absolutely breathtaking — a perfect blend of peace, beauty, and city life. You can stroll along the rivers, watch surfers at the Eisbach, or simply relax under the trees and enjoy the calm atmosphere. It’s clean, green, and full of life — families, couples, and friends all enjoying the day together. Whether for a picnic, a bike ride, or just a quiet moment by the lake, the English Garden is truly one of Munich’s most magical places. ✨🌳

This is, without a doubt, the best place in Munich. It's a massive, beautiful urban park that feels like a world away from the city. You could easily spend an entire day here relaxing, walking, or watching the surfers.

A must see if you're in Munich. Absolutely an amazing park with lots to see and do there. Playgrounds for kids, lot's of places to get something to eat and drink. Plus a couple of places to surf, yes you read correctly surf. The river is very clean and as you can see in the photos, very popular with surfer's and fun to watch for non surfers. A true gem of a park in Munich. Oh this park is huge it'll take a few hours to take it all in.
