Palazzo Pretorio, also known as the Tower of the Pig, is a historic site in Volterra, Tuscany. It houses several museums including the Etruscan Museum and The Torture Museum. The Alabaster Museum showcases the delicate beauty of this stone discovered by the Etruscans. Nearby archaeological sites like the Roman Theater and Parco Fiumi offer insights into ancient history.
(Translated by Google) Palazzo Pretorio is very original and complex, dating back to the first decades of the 1300s, as it is the union of various existing buildings, including the 'Torre del Porcellino', one of the tallest in Volterra; it is located in front of Palazzo dei Priori in the square of the same name. (Original) E' molto originale e complesso Palazzo Pretorio, risalente alle prime decadi del 1300, in quanto è l'unione di vari edifici esistenti, compresa la 'Torre del Porcellino', una delle più alte di Volterra; è situato di fronte a Palazzo dei Priori nell'omonima piazza.

Morena B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Piazza dei Priori, with its cluster of noble palaces, is evidence of Volterra's rich medieval heritage. It is dominated by the towering Palazzo dei Priori (1208), the oldest town hall in Tuscany, and is said to have been modeled after Florence's Palazzo Vecchio. Although the clock tower and battlements were later remodeled, the building looks like a typical Tuscan town hall. Weather permitting, it's worth climbing to the top of the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city. Across the square stands the 13th-century Palazzo Pretorio, with its battlemented Torre del Porcellino (Little Pig Tower), so named for its decorative relief of a wild boar. (Original) Piazza dei Priori, ze swoim skupiskiem szlacheckich pałaców, to dowód na bogate średniowieczne dziedzictwo Volterry. Dominuje nad nim wyniosły Palazzo dei Priori (1208), najstarszy ratusz miejski w Toskanii, na którym podobno wzorowano florencki Palazzo Vecchio. Chociaż wieża zegarowa i krenelaże zostały później przemodelowane, budynek ten wygląda jak typowy toskański ratusz. Jeśli dopisze pogoda, warto wspiąć się na szczyt dzwonnicy, aby zobaczyć rozciągający się z jej szczytu widok na miasto. Po drugiej stronie placu stoi XIII-wieczny Palazzo Pretorio, z krenelażową Torre del Porcellino (Wieżą Małej Świnki), nazwanej tak ze względu na swój dekoracyjny relief z dzikiem.
Renata K — Google review
(Translated by Google) The building is undeniably beautiful from the outside, but the €10 ticket inside is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen. €10 to see two rooms currently used by the municipality, climb the stairs, and find art there without any infamy or glory, without any description. If you go, just look at it from the outside. It should be free. (Original) Il palazzo è indiscutibilmente bello da fuori ma la visita all'interno per 10€ di biglietto è la più grande fregatura che abbia mai visto. 10€ per vedere 2 stanze attualmente usate ancora dalla municipalità, salire le scale e trovare dell'arte messa lì senza infamia e senza gloria, senza alcuna descrizione. Se ci andate guardatelo da fuori e basta. Dovrebbe essere gratuito

We loved it! The whole family had a blast! We went there on a Friday and waiting times for the rides were not long at all. What we love: ✅ The park itself is not too big that it’s overwhelming ✅ Different rides for different age of kids ✅There are picnic areas so you can eat your self brought foods ✅There are many trees in the park, so you always have some shady areas to sit ✅Staff was always friendly ✅The shows they offer were entertaining There are also booths for you to buy food from Mexican tacos to French fries. We spent there the whole day and it was totally worth the money. We can totally recommend it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

A fantastic amusement park for both younger and older children, suitable for all age groups including adults. Everyone will have lots of fun here. The park is large, so you can easily spend the whole day there. The entrance fee is quite reasonable considering everything the park offers. There are many attractions, each with specific entry rules based on the child's height or age. The park is set in a pine forest, which provides plenty of shaded areas for resting away from the sun. There are also many food stalls, making it an ideal place to spend time with kids. Free parking is available just a few meters from the main entrance to the park. We’ll definitely come back. Fantastic! 😊👌👌👌

Cavallino Matto is a surprisingly fun amusement park. Beyond exciting rides like Freestyle and Jurassic river, its true charm lies in its beautiful pine forest setting, offering refreshing shade and a unique natural ambiance. It's a delightful blend of thrills and nature. Great for families.

Great little theme park, lots of rides for younger children but a few good thrill rides too. Almost no queues for virtually every ride makes the whole experience so much better than most theme parks and the staff generally very friendly as well. The setting amongst lots of trees makes it look good as well as providing lots of shade in hot weather.

A great place to have fun with your family. We visit the park every summer and spend the whole day there. The staff at the ticket office were absolutely wonderful, making our arrival smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly efficient, getting everyone through quickly even during a busy period, and answered all our questions with a smile. We really appreciated their excellent customer service and positive energy. There are a lot of rides and entertainment to choose from. The Jurassic River ride is spectacular! We also appreciated the picnic area and the alley with the misting system, which made us feel so refreshed on ascorching summer day.

There’s nothing like italian theme parks, another one we were blown away by. We came with a 2 year old and even for him, there were so many rides and activities to enjoy. Great great experience, highly recommend, if you have a chance to go.
Nikki K — Google review
Great for young kids and families. Loads of rides of different intensity but hardly any queues in October. A couple of shows. Recommend bringing your own food and leaving it in the picnic area. No-one will touch it and you'll save a ton of money. The only water fountain with drinkable water is near the entrance so plan to go back there a few times during the day.

Mura di Lucca, also known as Lucca City Walls, encircle the historic center of Lucca, Italy. These Renaissance-era fortifications have been repurposed into a scenic pedestrian promenade and bicycle path adorned with gardens and panoramic viewpoints. The gates of the walls, some dating back to the 16th century, offer entry points into the city and provide a glimpse into its historical security framework.
It is such an interesting city wall. There is a road with many trees at sides on top of it. You can walk there. And I really recommend taking a sort walk.

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.

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!

Tower of Pisa

Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The Tower of Pisa, also known as Torre Pendente di Pisa, is a stunning 14th-century structure in Italy that has gained worldwide fame for its distinctive lean. The tower originally leaned at a dramatic angle of 5.5 degrees but extensive restoration work has reduced the lean to less than 4.0 degrees.
This was an amazing experience as one of the marvels of the world. To see this building leaning in its original form after centuries as it stands. The site has been well preserved. The line to go up the top was relatively short for an attraction in Italy. During the winter when I came the weather is cool in the morning but perfect by midday especially to stand in lines.
Cheryl J — Google review
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.
J — Google review
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.

The building was amazing but everything else lacked in excitement. There was only one fountain open to obtain water to drink. Nothing else was open. I was under tge influence that there was access to the hot springs for wading but that wasn't the case. I did catch a local orchestra practicing. Honestly, that was the highlight of that visit

The Piazza of miracles' is indeed filled with miracles of architecture. We visited them all. Get a full ticket from the Sinopie Museum. It will give you a set time for the Leaning Tower on day of purchase, while you have a year to visit all other locations! If you include a separately charged wall access from the corner tower, there are 7 things to visit.

Piazza del Duomo is one of the most breathtaking squares in the world — a true masterpiece of harmony, art, and faith. Surrounded by the Cathedral, Baptistery, Leaning Tower, and Camposanto, every corner shines with elegance and history. The white marble buildings glowing under the Tuscan sun create an almost dreamlike scene. Standing here feels like being inside a living work of art — peaceful, majestic, and timeless. Absolutely magnificent and unforgettable!

This something This place is simply spectacular. The architecture is massive and incredibly impressive—pictures don't do it justice. Inside, it’s a masterpiece of art and history, packed with stunning stained glass and biblical details. My top recommendation: definitely buy the ticket to go up to the top. Walking around the exterior and seeing the views from above is the highlight of the trip. Totally worth the wait!

Piazza del Duomo in Pisa was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. From the moment you enter through the gate, you’re surrounded by breathtaking architecture and a truly positive atmosphere. The intricate details of the icons and sculptures inside are stunning, and every corner of the square feels rich with history and beauty. An unforgettable experience

It's true you can't go far in Italy without running into history and this is no exception. Using viator, ITaly, lime (scooter rental), the world is your oyster. In your typical basilica, cathedral or place of worship related to Catholicism. The walls will be lined with this stations of the cross, not the duomo. It's its walls were lined with apostles and followers of Jesus. Make sure you catch the show output at noon.The bells ring the mechanical figures put on a lovely show in the piazza. If you're interested, pay a visit to the museum located on-site as well as the cript.

Hiking Trails
The Sentiero Monterosso - Vernazza is a popular and picturesque hiking trail that connects the Cinque Terre, offering stunning ocean views and lush landscapes. One of its highlights is a famous lookout point near Vernazza, known for its Instagram-worthy scenery. While a Cinque Terre Trekking Card is required during the hiking season, it may not always be enforced.
It was absolutely beautiful. It did take 1-2 hours and the stairs are quite the workout. Definitely have to stop and catch your breath from how much you climb up and down but if you love a good hike with gorgeous views I definitely recommend this. Some of the pathway is pretty narrow so be careful! Also, if you hike when it's hot, bring a swimsuit and jump into the water at Vernazza or Monterosso, it feels MAGICAL.
Laura P — Google review
We walked from Vernazza to Monterosso. It took about an hour and a half. The first half hour, in particular, is quite tiring and challenging; you're walking uphill. There are beautiful views along the way. There's no way to refill your water bottle along the way, so stock up on water beforehand.

Please take cat food with you - lots if possible!!!!!! There is a cat village and a designated area to leave food so people can feed them over time. It is up to us to feed these homeless cats. Walked this trail today and to my surprise, there was a few homeless cats who are in a small gated area with cat houses and a sign that states something along the lines of “homeless and unloved cats, please feed” …there was no food there and they looked quite skinny. If you are planning to walk this trail, please bring a bag of cat food, maybe some wet cans (not tin, they can cut their tongue on those), water… whatever you can. If I had known this going into the hike, I would’ve brought it. I’m not sure what the deal is with any caretakers for the cats but it would be nice to have a sign or something prior to starting the trail to let people know there are cats along the way, so people can purchase food before going up…. Lots of people were very upset to see the cats there with no food and there’s nothing to do about it at that point… it is mid-trail and nothing around. Otherwise, it is very uphill so be very prepared - but the sights are well worth it!

Pro tip: apparently you need a Cinque Terre pass to enter but everyone was passing through just to check the views and then come back. This is where you'll take the best photo of Vernazza. The start is just on the side of a restaurant, to the left you'll see a narrow street.

3.6 km, about 2h walk. It tooked us 2h15 with a big break at a bar about 1km away from Monterosso, the only one along the way. Lots of steps, but pretty easy to walk with good shoes... And the viens are so worth it !

This is a very strenuous trail with 800 ft of elevation. It was quite difficult with many stairs on both the accent a decent. We’re in our 30s and 40s and it took us about two hours with several stops for photos and the drink water. The terrain is treacherous at times. Make sure you wear the appropriate shoes with tread and waterproofing if possible as it is very muddy in some areas. The views and experience is absolutely worth it though!
Brianna M — Google review
Very beautiful hike. WARNING for anyone that wants to do this hike but isn’t a seasoned hiker: start from Vernazza and go towards Monterosso!! I started from Monterosso and it was a LOT of steep stairs & uphill. I read a review from someone on here who talked about having to climb up on all fours… while I didn’t get to that level I DEFINITELY was feeling that review to my core 😂😭 If I were to do it again, I would start from Vernazza. It’s doable both ways, but know that it will be more difficult if you start from Monterosso. The views will be beautiful & the same whichever town you start from. I had to take a lot of breaks, but many people (both old & young) did the same so I didn’t feel too left out. I recommend you do the hike early in the morning or towards late afternoon, that way you can have a little bit of a breeze and it’s not constantly hot. For reference, we did the hike with a lot of breezes and I STILL had my shirt drenched with sweat. If it is rainy, be careful!! Wear appropriate shoes for that. We did it while it was sunny & dry but there were many areas that were slip-potential. Also, you can access the viewpoint of the Vernazza background for picture-taking WITHOUT having to hike. I have included a picture so you know which viewpoint I’m talking about.
Deniz N — Google review
Beautiful hike! Definitely lots of stairs, which worked up quite a sweat in the heat. Views were totally worth it. Also, there was a small cat community (with little cat houses) that lives along the hike route close to Vernazza. A sign asks visitors to bring cat food/water because they have no owners. Really sweet cats!

Our agency didn't abandon us for a moment, it found us a studio apartment in centre, the flight has been postponed several times, reassured and followed up until your return. I would like to add that Italy prevents you from returning but abandons you there, does not give you instructions on what to do through someone, so we are rightly very worried. heartfelt thanks to our agent Rossano.

The Aquarium of Genoa is a remarkable destination located in the historic Porto Antico, an area that has undergone significant transformation over the centuries. Once a bustling hub for maritime activities, this waterfront locale was revitalized during the 1992 Expo through the visionary work of architect Renzo Piano. The aquarium showcases an impressive array of marine and freshwater species within its thoughtfully designed aquatic ecosystem display tanks, making it a must-visit attraction for nature enthusiasts and families alike.
Visiting the Aquarium of Genoa was a truly unforgettable experience. We were deeply impressed by the incredible variety of marine species on display—from colorful tropical fish and majestic sharks to playful dolphins and graceful jellyfish. Each exhibit was beautifully curated, allowing us to admire the unique beauty of every creature up close. The interior spaces were thoughtfully designed and remarkably immersive, making us feel as though we were walking through an underwater world. Everything was clean, well-organized, and visually stunning. The attention to detail in both the habitats and the educational displays added so much value to the visit. Overall, the Acquario di Genova exceeded our expectations. It's not just a place for children or marine enthusiasts—it's a breathtaking experience for anyone who appreciates nature's beauty. Highly recommended!

The places does impress the wanderers due to its vastness and abundance of various exotic expostinions.

This aquarium Genoa is quite small but it's easy to visit location for tourists and jellyfish tanks were lovely. I visited there during the winter off-season and there was no line so I am not sure if it was necessary to buy the on-line entrance ticket in advance.

This city is unique, special, and legendary. Although there are a lot of immigrants who create problems of cleanliness and also other kind. This aquarium is very large and interesting. It took about 2 hours to fully explord it. There are many species of marine animals here. It is always interesting to look at them and at the same time read information about them. And a large hall with a huge panoramic glass wall, through which you can see dolphins swimming underwater, was the realization of a child's dream. Sitting there, listening to the soothing music and looking at this magnificence was incomparable. Many people believe that the price of entering an aquarium is high. Maybe that's true.

We LOVED IT, this aquarium is huge and has some sea life I haven’t seen in US. We love aquariums, you can’t go wrong. Our daughter loves the jellyfish and some cool snakes in there Husband said the manatees were amazing and large variety of sea life and frogs. When you start you are on the bottom level and you go through the whole bottom level… then you go upstairs and see everything upstairs but also have a view of sharks and other animals you saw downstairs and upstairs is best for pictures of the dolphins and sharks - for me. There is also an area you can touch some sea life.

Really enjoyed the aquarium! It is quite busy as one wood expect but it flows pretty well out and back. Lots of different species of marine life to see from all over the world.

Thoughtfully curated exhibits and environments such as Amazon, Lake Malawi, corals in addition to cetaceans, penguins, seals, sharks. Although the tanks and holding areas are quite large, it is sad to see the mammals and large fish confined. Dark tunnels add to the anticipation. Children will enjoy the touch tank area.

A nice historical bridge that tells a story despite being rebuilt. The bridge is considered an icon of Pavia and still retains a charm across the river. There are viewing points along the 2-way bridge. In the middle of the bridge, there is a small chapel though it is not always open. Across the river, there is a statue on the left dedicated to the people (often, the ladies) who used to wash clothes along the river.

The Bridge is well worth a visit it's unique I believe it's a rebuild as it was bombed during the 2nd WW but it's great to see lots of people socialising on it .

Ehtisham B — Google review
When reading about Pavia, the Ponte Coperto is mentioned as one of its highlights. While it's definitely not something you see every day, it's also definitely not very picturesque. The bridge is still very much in use and only has narrow sidewalks. The amount of traffic crossing the bridge is huge, so it's a noisy and smelly experience crossing it on foot. View from the bridge is nice, but not spectacular. Been there, seen it, that's it.

Parking is free and convenient, which makes the experience even smoother. Sure, the setting feels a bit artificial, but for a day of shopping or casual wandering, it does the trick.

If you’re imagining rows of glamorous boutiques and hidden designer treasures, think again. Serravalle is what happens when someone takes the word *“outlet”* too literally — it’s been drained of stock, charm, and reason to exist. Most stores look like the aftermath of a clearance sale nobody wanted. Celine’s men’s section had maybe twenty sad pieces clinging to hangers for dear life. Dolce & Gabbana? Just the bargain-bin D&G line pretending to be designer. Truly inspiring. And let’s talk about the “discounts.” They’re so tiny you’ll need a microscope to find them. Moncler’s “outlet prices” could double as comedy — same old coats, barely cheaper, just worse lighting. Add in an hour-long drive from Milan, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for regret. Serravalle isn’t a shopping destination — it’s a **masterclass in marketing disappointment**. Unless your idea of fun is overpaying for leftovers while surrounded by tour buses, do yourself a favor: **stay in Milan and shop like a sane person.**

Serravalle Designer Outlet is a fantastic shopping destination – spacious, clean, and very well-organized. It’s easy to get around, accessible, and offers a fun atmosphere for a full day out. The variety of shops is impressive (almost overwhelming – one day isn’t enough to see everything!). There are plenty of options for food and coffee, plus free Wi-Fi which makes the experience even more convenient. Overall, a great place to shop, relax, and enjoy.

There were discounts in every store. You can easily find sizes. It takes a whole day to visit all the stores. Visit the shopping center on weekdays because there are very few people.

We stopped to do some shopping here on the last day before returning to our country. The place is quite spacious, the parking is hard to find, but many famous brands aren’t available here.

Cinzia F — Google review
(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk ... but it could be so much better. 4 years after the storm that had destroyed it in several places and still to be finished 👏. Total absence of benches along the way 😢 I don't find it very hospitable. The worst thing is the lack of distinction between the pedestrian and the cycling path ... leaving the latter free to run anywhere without respecting pedestrians. Very dangerous. The landscape pays off but as usual ... unfinished !!! 🤬 (Original) Una bellissima passeggiata... ma potrebbe essere molto meglio. A 4 anni dalla mareggiata che l'aveva distrutta in più punti e ancora da finire 👏. Totale assenza di panchine durante il percorso 😢 non lo trovo molto ospitale. La cosa peggiore è la mancanza di distinzione fra il percorso pedonale e quello ciclistico... Lasciando libertà a questi ultimi di correre ovunque senza rispettare i pedoni. Molto pericoloso. Il paesaggio ripaga ma come al solito... incompiuta!!! 🤬
Fabio M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The walk deserves 5 stars. It's a really nice place to walk, beautiful beaches and fantastic view.. But to be honest, something could be improved. Along the way there are very few benches, and being the walk itself quite long and without much shade, this could be a problem. There is also no bicycle lane, which can lead to collisions between cyclists and pedestrians. (Original) La passeggiata merita 5 stelle. È un posto davvero piacevole per passeggiare, spiagge stupende e vista fantastica.. Però, ad essere sinceri, qualcosa si potrebbe ottimizzare. Durante il percorso ci sono davvero poche panchine, ed essendo la passeggiata in se abbastanza lunga e senza molta ombra, ciò potrebbe essere un problema. Inoltre non esiste un pista per biciclette, il ché può provocare scontri tra ciclisti e pedoni.

Historic Walking Areas
Piazza Ducale in Vigevano is a stunning Renaissance-era square known for its arcades, bars, restaurants, and shops. The town is famous for its high-quality handmade shoes and historical buildings like the Castello Sforzesco and the Cathedral of Saint Ambrose. Just a 30-minute train ride from Milan, it offers a hassle-free escape with rich cultural and historical heritage.
The best Square in the world, designed by Leonardo da Vinci, it is the living room of the city. A visit to the square is mandatory
Andrea M — Google review
A very pretty square in the heart of Vigevano! It is very calm and was designed by Leonardo da Vinci! Very historic too!
Giovanni B — Google review
Even when we visited Vigevano in one of late September afternoons the piazza was almost deserted. It seemd that people were still on holiday and most shops were closed. It had a very calm and peaceful vibes to the town. Had a quiet stroll around the Piazza and had snacks and coffee. We enjoyed the couple of hours we had there a lot.
Pramuditha M — Google review
A few years ago I read somewhere that this was one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The numerous photos by pros and tourists testify it. Being born in Piedmont, I used to visit this quaint town quite often, appreciating its medieval cobblestone alleys, to reach the piazza Ducale and enjoy an excellent ice cream. A lot has changed, nothing stays forever, but the square has maintained its grandeur. The historical shops have disappeared in favor of expensive eateries with rude and hasty service, aiming only at you spending $ on mediocre food and drinks. Head towards the hidden, narrow streets that surround it and you’ll find small pubs and food joints with courteous and amicable service and decent prices. By the way, DO visit the Sforza castle, it’s a true medieval gem with frescos, ancient and secret gardens and horse stables. It’ll satisfy your cravings for history and well kept ancient artifacts
Veronica B — Google review
It is an incredible city😍 because it is full of monuments and place to eat and sit having the Ducale square view. It is very recommended to come at least one time.

One of many beautiful bridges I have seen in my life, but definitely not overrated. Very stunning! It's also called bridge of sighs and has an really interesting history, which is worth a google. I'm not too sure if you can actually walk over it but you dmcould view it from afar as see in the pictures or take a ride in a gondola and float along the waterways.

Toirano Cave

Mentioned on 
7 lists 
Cultural landmark
Nature & Parks
Toirano Cave is a captivating show cave that offers guided tours showcasing prehistoric human footprints and cave paintings. The tour, led by knowledgeable guides, lasts about an hour and covers stunning formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, columns, calcite, and aragonite flowers. Visitors can also marvel at a small lake inhabited by transparent and blind crustaceans as well as bear bones and human/bear prints.
Wow, the caves are amazing! Our guide was excellent, very informative, and spoke English as well as Italian. There is so much history in the caves. You probably need to visit it 2 or 3 times to take it all in. You have to make a reservation for a specific guided tour departure time.
R C — Google review
Fascinating underground tour of the caves. Guide spoke good English as well as Italian (obviously!). Tour took about 1 hour. Ring up to book a space on the tour in advance then pay on arrival. Tickets include museum entry in local town but it was closed on the day we went. Steep walk up to the start of the tour and steps throughout the cave, then steep decent back down to the car park after. Bear that in mind. Toilets and restaurant on site.
Tom R — Google review
Nice place to visit especially when it is hot outside in the cave the temperature of air is around 15. Interesting to learn how stalactites, stalagmites and columns are created. It 7s interesting for kids as well.

I love caves and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. Stalactites, stalagmites, columns, calcite and arganite “flowers”, a little lake with transparent and blind crustaceans, bear bones and human / bear prints. The guided tour takes around an hour and you have to climb some steps, so not suitable for those with reduced mobility. Inside it’s just cool, rather than cold, so no need for thick jumpers. But you have to wear “proper” shoes; flip flops are not allowed. You can take photos without flash. You need to book your tickets in advance, either personally or by phone. You pay when you collect them - we paid 80 euro for 4 adults and 3 children. The entrance to the cave is 300m up so arrive 10 min early to collect your tickets and go up. There is sufficient, free parking on site and a little gift shop. There is also a café, which was unfortunately closed. At the time of writing this (Aug 2021), Green Passes for adults and masks inside the cave were required.
Monika S — Google review
I highly recommend this place to visit. It’s really incredible how everything is formed inside by nature. For visitors it’s better to reserve specific time in advance in order to avoid waiting time. However if it’s not reserved there is a good cafe with a nice team on site.

Amazing cave, really interesting guided tour with a very informed guide. The cave has some spaces with unique styles. We enjoyed the 1 hour tour which gives enough time to stop and admire the super cool salactites and stalagmites

Fontana della Bollente is a fascinating attraction in Acqui Terme, Italy. It's a small pavilion covering the spot where hot sulphur water bubbles up at 75C (167F). The fountain is located in Piazza San Francesco, close to other attractions like Fontana Romana. The town offers cozy bars and cafes, making it a wonderful place to stroll around and enjoy the historical charm.

Vicolungo The Style Outlets is a sprawling shopping destination located close to Milan's city center, offering a vast selection of 150 fashion and design brands. Visitors can enjoy all-year discounts and a spacious, well-maintained environment. With over 35,000 sq.m. of space, this outlet provides an enjoyable open-air shopping experience with various dining options available in the main plaza.
Great outlet just outside Milan with a wide selection of well-known brands at great prices. Clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Plenty of parking, good food options, and even a playground for kids. Perfect for a day of shopping!
Roy V — Google review
I have visited this outlet regularly since its creation. What is obvious is that the quality on offer has progressively gone down with many of the stores that we liked now having moved elsewhere. And brands with good reputation appear to offer mostly their bottom of the line products, often made of synthetic materials. There are still some exceptions but you have to look hard to find them.
Sebastian R — Google review
It’s a great shopping destination for fashion lovers looking for quality at a discount. With over 150 stores, including top Italian and international brands, there’s something for every style and budget. The layout is open-air and easy to navigate, with plenty of space to relax between shops. Family-friendly amenities, free parking, and several cafés and restaurants make it ideal for a day trip. It’s well-connected to Milan and Turin, and often features special promotions and seasonal events

This is a good outlet but not so perfect. The prices are a bit higher in comparison to the other outlets. And the variety is not so high. But the atmosphere and design are nice and friendly. There are Enough toilets and parkings. But options for eating are so less.
PegiTa ( — Google review
A fantastic open-air outlet — I absolutely loved it! This open-air outlet was such a great surprise! The whole place is beautifully designed, with wide, clean walkways and a very relaxing atmosphere. Shopping outdoors made the experience so much more enjoyable and stress-free. There’s a great selection of stores, with something for everyone — from clothing and shoes to home goods and accessories. I could have spent hours browsing! The prices were excellent, with lots of good deals and discounts in most shops. I found some real bargains that made the trip totally worth it. Everything felt very well organized, tidy, and pleasant. If you’re looking for a day of shopping in a lovely setting, without the chaos of an indoor mall, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely be back!

Specialty Museums
WiMu Museo del Vino is a unique museum located in a medieval castle that offers interactive exhibits exploring the culture and tradition of wine. Situated in the quiet yet prosperous region of Piedmont, it provides an immersive experience for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can expect visually appealing and colorful displays, with educational material presented in a fresh and engaging manner. The museum's unconventional approach to its exhibits adds to its charm, offering a fun way to learn about wine history and facts.
🌟 5-Star Review 🌟 By Rocco & Emma What a hidden gem in the heart of Barolo! 🍷 The Museo del Vino , exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth, knowledge, and passion for wine. The atmosphere is magical—authentic yet elegant, with breathtaking views of the vineyards. 22 wine tasting price from €2 to € 10 A must-visit for anyone in love with wine, history, or simply the beauty of Italian culture. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon.

Tanya K — Google review
Somehow strange, moreover a museum for imagination and inventivity; not at all what you would expect for such museum quite expensive. Old castle refurbished. Vieux from the top terrace are beautiful - you can see all the valley! Visitors are advised to take the elevator to the third floor and go down by stairs to the basement, where they can taste and buy some wine. Tasting is not free and its cost depends on the price of wine. If you do not buy wine don’t bother to go to the basement as there are many stairs and later you have to go up :)
Carmen S — Google review
It wasn't what I expected from a wine museum in a positive way. The mesuem starts a bit more artsy and plays on the sensations around wine. Later there is more histroical explanations about wine, where it comes from and how culture has shifted around wine. Overal a fun experience, not too long and enough diversity and interactivity.
Marijn S — Google review
WiMu has a different approach to some other wine museums. Rather than focussing on the technological aspects of the wine making process, it highlights the relationship of wine to the region itself. It does so using a series of informative art installations, with a different focus each room. The third and final floor felt a bit random (some history about local schooling, plus a conference room), and didn't add much to us. Overall, this was a fun experience and definitely worth checking out when visiting Barolo

Although visits are only guided in Italian and assume knowledge of the Savoy family, the palace is still worth exploring.

The National Museum of Cinema is located in the iconic Mole Antonelliana, a 19th-century building that stands as a symbol of Turin. The museum offers an extensive collection showcasing the evolution of cinema, from pre-cinematic optical equipment to modern films and memorabilia. Visitors can explore different floors to learn about the history and techniques of filmmaking, view various sets, and engage in interactive experiences such as 3D simulations and reenacting movie scenes.
Great place to visit. Lots of facts and really cool ideas of how to present the history of cinema. We saw the Art of James Cameron, so check the current options when in Torino. Also spectacular view on the city from the platform where fast elevator will take you.

Amazing museum filled with cinema history. We went during the James Cameron exhibition. The interactive parts were great and the props were very interesting to go through and learn about their movies. The only down side is that the dedication exhibition that changes could be smaller so that the main part had more cinema history related stuff. In addition to these the elevator is a must. The view of torino is amazing and one you don't want to miss. I also recommend getting tickets in advance since it can get crowded(having tickets for both the exhibition and the elevator can reduce the wait time drastically).

You can take nice pictures from the bottom or you can buy lift ticket and go up to see panorama of Torino... If you want you can go up by foot if you are in good condition... I recommend you to buy ticket for elevator and tour in advance... View from the top is amazing, all city and Alps... Inside you have to see nice museum... People who work there is so kind and helpful... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Torino...

The history part was interesting, and the layout inside was unique. The modern cinema section (the main part) now seems a bit anachronistic, as it focuses on a fairly narrow era of cinema. The part where cinema technology moves into gaming felt the most contemporary but it was not much. Note that when I bought the ticket online, there was only the option to buy a combined museum + panoramic lift ticket. Yet when I tried to get on the lift I was told my ticket was only for the museum. There wasn’t even a way to buy the tickets separately on the website so I’m not sure how I could have done it wrong. Anyway, I decided to skip the lift rather than buy another ticket. So I’m not sure if you should buy a ticket in advance, actually.

People who work there is so kind and helpful... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Torino...

The history part was interesting, and the layout inside was unique. The modern cinema section (the main part) now seems a bit anachronistic, as it focuses on a fairly narrow era of cinema. The part where cinema technology moves into gaming felt the most contemporary but it was not much. Note that when I bought the ticket online, there was only the option to buy a combined museum + panoramic lift ticket. Yet when I tried to get on the lift I was told my ticket was only for the museum. There wasn’t even a way to buy the tickets separately on the website so I’m not sure how I could have done it wrong. Anyway, I decided to skip the lift rather than buy another ticket. So I’m not sure if you should buy a ticket in advance, actually.

Like the view from the observation deck. Recommended during the sunset. Apparently you cannot visit without a ticket bought, and for this you may have issue in the website, so we just scan qr code near the entrance and book the time.

The iconic Mole dominates Turin's skyline. You car ride to the top for amazing views. Combine this with a ticket for the excellent Museum of Cinema (housed in the main building) for the best value.

Loved it. Great way to explore cinema and film making. My 7yo and 9yo had plenty to see and do here. As a cinephile I found it a brilliant collection that is well constructed and curated.

Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo Egizio, located in Turin, Italy, is a museum founded in 1824 that houses an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts and cultural treasures. It is considered one of the most visited attractions in Turin and boasts a remarkable collection that rivals those found in Cairo. The museum's origins date back to King Carlo Felice's acquisition of over 5,000 artifacts excavated from Egypt.
This magic and extraordinary place holds an allure that captivates the imagination. It is a realm where the impossible becomes reality, and wonders abound at every turn. Within its boundaries, one can discover hidden marvels and experience the extraordinary. This place offers a chance to explore the depths of one's own imagination. It is an escape that leaves a lasting impression.

Great big museum in the heart of Torino... Very close to the Porta Nuova station.... Entrance for one person is 18 euro, but it's worth every peny... I travel a lot and see so many museums but this is one of the best... This place is one three flors and basement... You have elevators between every floor... So so many unique sculptures and things, mummies, from little to some very big... Everything have good explanation on Italian and English... In basement at the and of tour you can see all history of museum from start.... People who work there is so kind and helpful and talkative... They also have toilet on every floor and at exit you can buy some souvenirs... All recommendations for visit and enjoy if you are in Torino

I visited this museum about 10 years ago and the experience back then felt on another level. The storytelling, especially in the Gods Library, and the way the rooms connected made the visit much more fluid and comfortable. This time, unfortunately, the huge number of visitors made it almost impossible to enjoy some sections. Even with pre-booked tickets, it was extremely crowded and in some areas difficult to walk or stop to see the exhibits properly. What I did appreciate, however, were the new virtual experiences in some rooms, which clearly and engagingly explained the historical context and processes.

I’m sure they’re trying hard to make this the standout Egyptian museum and have spent a lot of money on it. There are some fantastic things exhibited here but….its overcrowded and it’s strangely boring and repetitive. There are too many exhibits to take in. They should have cut back on the exhibits and instead told the history of Egypt far better. The museum is all over the place in terms of its narrative. It’s thematic but really needs to be chronological and help piece together what we’re viewing. It was a real shame because I just wanted to leave after half an hour of being bored and learning surprisingly little about an interesting subject.

A very cool experience in the middle of Turin. It is the second largest collection of Egypt antiquities outside of Cairo. We had a guided tour which I would highly recommend. A very cool experience!

Very comprehensive museum on Egypt. I think I managed to go through all of it. Felt like I got a complete rundown on the entire corpus of Egyptian history. The app guide is glitchy. I downloaded some modules but sometimes it reloads if you don’t keep the phone open, and then it says you’re offline and won’t load the module anymore. So maybe the old school audio guide you can get at reception is a better option. However, the displays do a good job anyway and you can still get enough of a gist of it just with the displays. To do the entire museum, reading everything and listening to the audio guides, would take the best part of a whole day. But there’s an in house cafe at a convenient midpoint.

Really amazing Egypt Museum! So many artifacts and displays! Lots of interactive opportunities to learn and grow your knowledge! Huge building filled to the brim! Absolutely amazing!

I didn't expect there to be so many things from Egypt. There is so much to see and learn about where things come from and their history. An amazing place. I fell in love with it. I would have liked to stay longer, but I chose the hour. But the important thing is that I managed to learn most of it.

Piazza San Carlo is a bustling city plaza in Turin known for its 17th-century baroque architecture and as a venue for concerts and events. The square is surrounded by elegant porticoed buildings housing bars, cafes, and restaurants where visitors can immerse themselves in the local lifestyle. It's also home to an equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto sculpted by Carlo Marocchetti in 1838.
A beautiful square in Turin lined by stunning buildings, churches, shops, and restaurants. It is a massive square, so plenty of room to walk around and see the pure majestic beauty. We loved our visit. We visited a few of the churches, loved the monument in the middle, and enjoyed looking in the shop windows. A must see when in Turin.

The church at Piazza San Carlo is beautiful and peaceful. It’s not very big, but the architecture and details inside are really impressive. It’s a nice place to stop by if you’re walking around the city. It feels calm and quiet inside, a nice break from the busy streets of Milan. Definitely worth a quick visit if you enjoy historic buildings and quiet spots.

Piazza San Carlo is truly a gem in the heart of Turin. The moment we saw it by night, it was breathtaking—the whole square was aglow with lights, highlighting the grand statue and the beautiful Baroque buildings that line the piazza. It's the kind of place where you just want to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy a coffee, an aperitivo, or simply to watch the world go by. This piazza feels like the city's elegant living room. We highly recommend visiting, especially in the evening, to experience its unique beauty and charm.

Piazza San Carlo is a truly beautiful and elegant square — one of Turin’s most iconic places. Surrounded by historic arcaded buildings, it’s full of life yet never feels rushed. There are many cafés and restaurants where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a cappuccino or aperitivo while watching the world go by. The square is immaculately maintained and feels both grand and welcoming — a perfect spot to experience the spirit of Turin.

Forte di Bard

Mentioned on 
+30 other lists 
Fortress
Museums
Located in the Aosta Valley of northern Italy, Fort of Bard is a historic fortress dating back to the 1830s. It played a significant role in defending the territory and withstood Napoleon's advance for two weeks in 1800. The fortress now features museum exhibits, interactive areas for children, and offers panoramic routes for visitors to explore its imposing stone buildings. Renovated in 2006, it also houses the Museum of the Alps and hosts exhibitions by renowned international artists.
Large fortress that underwent some restorations after the Napoleonic era. Today it hosts museums, exhibitions and events that combine ancient history and modern art; slow-paced walks, also enjoying the surrounding nature, in contrast with the highway and the nearby town. The Ferdinando museum houses numerous cannons and weapons that tell the story of the many conflicts that have characterized this place. It is recommended to purchase the ticket on abbonamentomusei.it to visit all the castles and sites of the Aosta Valley. Dogs allowed inside it carrier. Paid parking.

I must have travelled the freeway below this massive fort controlling the narrow passage between the steep and dangerous mountain sides more than a hundred times over the past 30 years without reflecting on what you might find inside. This time I took a day trip from home in Switzerland with the aim to discover this surprisingly interesting place steeped in history lasting over 800 years. It's now owned and administered by the region of Aosta and houses 6 museums, a large museum shop, a cozy 11 room hotel and restaurant as well as a café. If you buy a simple entrance ticket you will access two exhibitions of your choice, if you want to see all six museums, the price is about double the ordinary entrance fee. There is ample parking around the castle, the near-most being paying. Access is either via an ingenious series of funiculars or by foot on a winding road. Avoid visiting on a busy day not to spend your time waiting to access the funicular system. I came on a Friday afternoon mid May 2025 and was surrounded by 15 year olds trying to learn Italian history, not the most serene situation. You do need a full day to fully appreciate the place so I will come back to spend a night here before touring the premises.

So much to see here! There are 5? main buildings, each housing different museums and (temporary, rotating) art exhibits. Costs €12 to visit 2 of any things of your choice or €24 to visit everything. But you can visit all the exterior fort for free! This is definitely worth it if you want a quick look and get a good view from the top of the Fort. If you want to visit the museums, you'll need a few hours to spare! Our 2 choices were both in the Carlo Alberto building (at the top). We did the Museum of the Alps which has SO MUCH to see, and quite the diversity of history and information. This took us 2 hours and we didnt look too closely at half of it. Could definitely take 2-4 hours depending on your interests. Absolutely 1 of the best ways to spend a solid chunk of your day here. 2nd, we did the prisons downstairs in the same building. This was cool but much quicker (like 30 mins). It was a toss up between the prison and the Ferdinando building at the bottom.. unsure what all that offers or the time it takes to visit. In total we spent about 3 hours here, and could have spent much longer if we got the full package. Lots of history here and offers a neat view of the valley. I would recommend it, but again, you'll need time if you want to visit any museums. I personally didnt care to visit any of the art exhibitions. From what I've gathered, they kind of have nothing to do with the Fort itself, so didnt seem worth any of my 2 choices.

Have you even been to Valle d’Aosta if you haven’t visited Forte di Bard? The structure is just impressive in its size and location! Inside is pretty bare, but the museums and exhibits are super interesting.

The castle is beautiful, no doubt there. However, we wanted to take a quick walk within the walls, and there is unfortunately no ticket allowing you to just stroll around. You have to purchase a ticket for 12e which allows you to enter 2 out of 6 available exhibitions/ “museums”. Maybe it would not be that frustrating if a couple in front of us wasnt allowed to enter for free by stating “we only came for a walk” in italian. We checked the japanese exhibition which was rather mediocre, not much to learn from it. We would appreciate some story behind and more descriptions behind the pictures. The other exhibitions was the prisons which was more interesting - you can see the real prison rooms and how the castle was evolving over time.

19th-century fortress, part of the fortifications of the Aosta Valley. The fortress is well maintained and houses a rich permanent exhibition (about forts and fortresses throughout history), as well as interesting temporary exhibitions. Entrance tickets: - €12 for visiting the fortress itself and two exhibitions - €24 for visiting five exhibitions Both tickets include access to the lifts. The ticket price is absolutely worth it.
