Karersee, also known as Lake Carezza, is a stunning emerald-green lake located in the southwestern part of the Dolomites. The lake offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and fir trees that are reflected in its shimmering rainbow waters. Its size varies throughout the year due to being glacier-fed, adding to its allure. The area around Karersee is a popular destination for visitors seeking beautiful natural surroundings and iconic mountain reflections on the water's surface.
Absolutely gorgeous lake and peaceful forest walk. The colours of the lake are a feast for the eyes with the picturesque mountains as a backdrop. The rainbow lake is definitely worth a visit!
Eden T — Google review
Amazing place to see especially on a sunny day. We were there with our 7m campervan on a Sunday morning around 9am and there were plenty of parking spaces but got busy rather quickly. You need to pay in the ticket machine before passing through the exit gate. Campers pay 9 eur for 3 hrs which is plenty time to see the sights, get some footage and have a meal as well.
Avinash M — Google review
It is a small lake surrounded by pine forests and the Dolomites mountains, offering breathtaking scenery. The water is crystal clear with an emerald-green color, reflecting the mountains and the sky. Easy to reach with no difficult roads. Parking is available at €3 per hour (Oct 2025), and payment must be made in advance at the ticket machine. The area also has convenient facilities such as shops and restaurants, though not very large. Perfect for a short stop to take photos and enjoy a peaceful walk. The atmosphere is calm, cool, and truly romantic.

We visited Lago di Carezza, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites. The water shines in shades of green and reflects the forest and mountains around it, giving the place a magical feel. Parking is easy and costs €6 for 1-2 hours, which is fair for such a stunning spot. A calm and lovely stop, well worth visiting if you’re in the area.
Ryan A — Google review
A beautiful little alpine lake with stunning turquoise water and breathtaking mountain views in the background. It’s an easy hike, you can walk around it in about 1 hour. Unfortunately, it’s quite a popular tourist spot, so unless you arrive early in the morning, it can get very crowded. Luckily, most visitors tend to stay near the starting point to take photos, so the rest of the trail around the lake is much quieter and more peaceful.
Hajnalka B — Google review
Simply breathtaking! An easy walk around the lake with stunning views and mind-blowing colors. You can drive there (paid parking), and while the lake was shallow, the reflections of the clouds made it absolutely worth the visit!

Funivia del Renon, Soprabolzano

Mountain cable car
Transportation
Tramways
We were given tickets as part of the public transport system. I'm glad we had time to use the tickets. The cable car was an amazing experience to explore the upper region. At the top there is a short train ride, which showed us an excellent view and experience from a living in the mountains point of view.
Monique R — Google review
Located just 10 min walk from the city center the cable car is one way of reaching Soprabolzano. The views from the ride are spectacular amd it takes roughly 12 min one way. One way ticket is 8 euros and if you buy the return you need to use it the same day, it cannot be used another day. If you are planning to get the scenic small train from Soprabolzano , make sure to mention this when buying the ticket so they will give you a combined o ne. You can either take the stairs to the 2nd level or the elevator. There is a coffee shop right next to it and a supermarket as well. Once you get on top you will find a bar / icecream shop in the area and a Despar amd Mpreis supermarkets. Very busy usually in the weekends
Andreea C — Google review
I have mixed feelings about this cable car. The first part of the experience was bad. There is a pretty long line and the stuffed too many people into one cart. However the view from this cable car is absolutely amazing. It first goes up and the has a long horizontal ride that seems like it was designed just so you can enjoy the view longer. Too bad we had such little personal space to enjoy the view.
Shani B — Google review
The queue for the ride can be really long on a weekend, especially at 12pm. Be patient and dont join the queue. Just go for a lunch first till 1pm and the will be no wait needed to get a ride up. The long and smooth ride offers a great view between bolzano and suprabolzano.

South Tyrol Archeological Museum

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Archaeological museum
Museums
History Museums
Nestled in the heart of Bolzano, the South Tyrol Archeological Museum, often referred to as the Otzi Museum, is a captivating destination for history enthusiasts. This three-story museum showcases the remarkable mummified remains of Ötzi, a Neolithic man who lived over 5,300 years ago and was discovered in 1991 due to melting glaciers. Visitors can explore not only Ötzi himself but also an array of artifacts that provide insight into his life and times.
South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology – Meeting Ötzi in Bolzano Bolzano is one of those places that gets under your skin—a strange and beautiful collision of Italy and the Alps. German precision meets Italian charm, all wrapped in cobblestone streets, Gothic arcades, and the smell of good coffee drifting out of corner cafés. It’s a city where you can order a perfect espresso in the morning, a plate of speck and mountain cheese by noon, and a bottle of local Gewürztraminer by dinner. We grabbed a quick bite at a café across the street before heading in—sitting outside while small birds darted between tables, bold enough to hope for crumbs. Then we crossed over to see why most people come here: Ötzi. The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology sits in a stately old building at the edge of the pedestrian zone, and inside is one of the most haunting encounters you can have without boarding a plane to somewhere far more dangerous. Three floors take you from prehistoric tools to Roman relics, winding you closer to the reason everyone’s here: a 5,300-year-old man pulled from the ice, along with the tools, clothes, and gear he carried when death found him in the high mountains. The displays are sharp and modern, with just the right balance of science and story. There’s his copper axe, his grass cape, his last meal still in his stomach. The lifelike reconstruction of Ötzi by the Kennis brothers is unsettling in the best possible way—suddenly this isn’t just a skeleton in a glass case, it’s a person who woke up one morning not knowing it would be his last. What makes the place work is its restraint. No gimmicks, no cheap drama—just good storytelling and the quiet, unnerving truth of seeing someone who lived and died in the same mountains you can see out the window. Bolzano does that—it folds the past and present together until you can’t quite tell where one ends and the other begins.
D S — Google review
The floor with the mummy is awesome. The other floors are okay. As a physiotherapist, I feel it’s important to highlight that some of the information presented about Ötzi’s ailments and pain is factually incorrect—not just technically inaccurate but clearly and potentially harmfully wrong. Specifically, the exhibit makes claims about osteoarthritis and other health conditions that go beyond what the evidence supports. It is not scientifically valid to infer pain based solely on imaging findings of “degenerative” changes or age-related adaptations. These types of findings are extremely common in healthy people—many of whom experience no pain at all. Presenting such changes as definitive sources of pain reinforces outdated and misleading beliefs about the human body. This can contribute to fear, over-medicalization, and unnecessary treatments in the general public, especially among people who already live with chronic pain or worry about their health. Aside from the clearly documented issues—such as the arrow wound in his shoulder, the broken arm, and dental problems—any additional claims about Ötzi’s experience of pain are speculative at best and should be labeled as such. Personally, I think those parts of the exhibit should be changed. I included some photos of the problematic texts.
Lasse L — Google review
Great museum, mainly dedicated to the story (and viewing) of Ötzi, the iceman. Recommendation when you are in the area. Also some interesting items on living situations in that time and how to craft for example. We didn’t have a ticket in advance and so had to wait outside. It was annoying that the lady at the front couldn’t tell us how long the queue would be, luckily it was only a bit more than 20 minutes. We visited on a tuesday afternoon mid September. Recommended to buy beforehand! Inside there are also many school groups next to the general visitors so it is not calm or quiet.
Stanly — Google review
An interesting museum dedicated to literally just one mummy. After viewing the exhibit, you realize how much information can be gleaned from such a find. My seven-year-old daughter was a bit scared; perhaps it's too early to see such exhibits. Tickets are inexpensive, but there's no parking. The restrooms are clean and comfortable. A significant amount of money has been invested in the museum; I recommend visiting.
Dmitrii D — Google review
Awesome museum! I have been interested in Otzi since he was pulled out of the ice, so when I was nearby I made sure to make a detour to Bolzano and the museum. You’re not allowed to take photos of Otzi himself as he is being preserved for research purposes. The images below show what they think Otzi would have looked like. One thing I found most interesting, (other than his acupuncture tattoos of course!) was his height - only 5 feet 3 inches. I had expected him to be taller, possibly because of my own biases, but possibly also owing to the nature of his life - mountain climbing and hunting while alone. Regardless, he was obviously a seriously brave guy. The museum dedicated to him is definitely worth a visit.
John C — Google review
So cool ! The museum is located in the middle of town. Parking was a challenge , we used the parkhouse , while it’s 4.50€ per hour, it worked out well. The museum is set up in 3 floors , easy to follow as everything is numbered. What an amazing valuable find, so interesting . This exhibit really helps you understand the life of this man .

Asiago Sacrario

War memorial
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
The Asiago Sacrario war memorial stands atop a hill and features cannons, panoramic views, a crypt, chapel, and exhibits highlighting historic events. This monument serves as an impressive tribute to veterans of World War I. The museum showcases various memorabilia from the unit and era, making it a must-see for history enthusiasts. The sheer size of this memorial is overwhelming; its significance can be felt through its remarkable architecture and displays.
We are currently world schooling to learn about WWI. This place had many artifacts on display, it explained movement, terrain and logistics and at the end you can honor those that fell when the battle came to them. It was interesting that so many siblings fought in this battle, many to save their city. The views are outstanding. This memorial/monument was well thought out. A look at the town shows the influence on architecture from the war. This place was awesome.

Sacrario Militare di Asiago – Ossario del Leiten 🇮🇹 For those who appreciate history and quiet reflection, the Sacrario del Leiten in Asiago is a place of deep emotional impact. Located on Leiten Hill at 1,058 meters above sea level, it overlooks the Plateau of the Seven Municipalities with striking majesty. Designed by architect Orfeo Rossato between 1932 and 1936, it was inaugurated in 1938 as a monumental ossuary to hold the remains of over 54,000 Italian and Austro-Hungarian soldiers who died in World War I. The structure consists of two main levels: a square crypt (80 meters per side) with wide corridors leading to an octagonal chapel, and above it, a towering triumphal arch with four fronts, standing 47 meters tall. A grand staircase flanked by symmetrical ramps leads visitors to the top, where engraved arrows point toward the surrounding mountains and former battle sites—a stone memorial that powerfully links landscape, memory, and history. Inside, silence is broken only by the engraved names of fallen soldiers—both identified and unknown—including twelve awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valor. Their memory is preserved with solemn dignity. Recently restored, the site is once again open to the public (Tuesday to Sunday, 9 AM–12 PM and 2 PM–5 PM), now featuring an educational exhibit with artifacts and informative panels about the Great War. A powerful and moving place that combines monumental architecture, solemn landscapes, and a deeply reflective atmosphere. Ideal for those seeking a moment of remembrance, beauty, and historical significance.

The Sacrario Militare di Asiago sits heavy against the soft landscape of the Altopiano, its stark presence unmistakable from a distance. Walking the long, tree-lined approach felt almost ceremonial. an intentional stretch of silence before entering the crypt. Inside, the light is low, the marble cool, and the atmosphere reverent. Thousands of names line the walls in endless corridors, a sobering reminder of the brutal scale of World War I on this front. It’s not a place of grand gestures or theatrical design, but of weight and stillness. The weathering on the ceiling only adds to the gravity, a quiet surrender to time. Standing in that vast hall of sacrifice, it’s impossible not to reflect. This isn’t just a monument, it’s a statement, and one that lingers with you long after you’ve left the hill.

The park is beautifully designed with a wide variety of landscapes and attractions. We started on the left and worked our way through to the right, spending about 2.5 hours in total. There’s a lot to see and experience. Some paths are quite steep, so it might be a bit challenging for older visitors. Overall, a stunning place well worth the visit.

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

Amazing entry point into the city! Continue from until the very end then descend down to the center of Merano. The other end of riverside promenade allows the alternative access. The views are stunning, the whole path is so beautiful and there points of water as well as some historic facts here and there.

Fantastic views of the city and surrounding landscape. Vineyards, steeples and mountains can be taken in from the viewing benches. There are also a few restaurants/spots to have a drink along the promenade. The climb up the old fort tower is worth it for the views from the top. It is quite a steep walk up to the promenade - we managed it with a pram but took some pushing!

Wonderful route, easy realxing, the whole family with kids can enjoy the view of merano from a bit higher. The route has a part long the river, very calming. There are small herbs garden to check out on the route as well. There’s also some restaurants along the way and hotels.

Santuario di San Romedio

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Santuario di San Romedio is a medieval shrine located on a rocky spur, accessible via a steep path or shuttle bus from Sanzeno. The path from Museo Retico to the sanctuary offers stunning views and takes less than an hour to hike. The sanctuary itself features several churches and chapels, with the oldest dating back to the 11th century. Surrounded by mountains and forests, it offers beautiful scenery and is worth a visit.
Lovely monastery with lots of stairs... if you have a hard time with stairs, don’t even go through the door. It’s a religious place, where people come to pray, so you must be considerate when talking. It’s built on a rock and the view from the top floor is quite impressive, especially from the pointy balcony; watch your kids here. The food at the cafe is not bad and it’s reasonably priced.

Excellent hike along a path hewn in to the Cliffside of the gorge to the Sanctuary. (You can also drive to the sanctuary) We parked in Sanzeno (free parking in field near the piazza), initially walking a small road, then track through orchards to a path in the cliff. It’s flat, lots of fun and quite low (watch your head - there are signs saying you need a helmet but no one wore one). There are 160 steps up to the sanctuary itself - well worth it. There and back it’s a 6.5 mile (around 9km) walk.

Beautiful nature to see, impressive architecture. The sanctuary it self, as to be expected, pretty austere. Didn't enjoy seeing the caged bear doing circles cause its clearly depressed.

the path to the eremo itself is beautiful (photo of it below). its litterally carved iside a natural canion. the eremo itself is outstanding. the personal is helpful and prepared. plus it has a giant friendly bear and lots of doggos. a lot of panoramic wiews too. finally if you are into walking in the woods these place is right for you.

We hiked here from San Zeno along the path carved out of the mountainside (watch your head!). There are some short climbs, but it’s doable in less than an hour each way and the vistas over the valley are beautiful. There are some spots where you do need to pay attention, but it’s fairly well marked. While you’ll see fully kitted out hikers, there are also plenty of families and elderly people just taking a walk with regular clothes and shoes. The sanctuary is very peaceful and their resident bear even came out to greet us.

Tkolody — Google review
You cannot access the sanctuary with a car during summer months but there is a shuttle bus to and from it (from Sanzeno), costing 2 EUR one way or 3 EUR both directions. You could also park your car at Museo Retico (paying parking lot) and go on foot which is more than worth it. The path is not too challenging and it takes less than an hour. We went to the sanctuary on foot and took the bus back. The sanctuary itself is worth the visit but there's not much to do more than 30 minutes or so...
Bruno — Google review
Incredible shrine sitting on top of the hill. The shrine hosts a lovely bear which has become an attraction per se. The car entrance is in Sanzeno, while the shrine is accessible by several walks. One of the walk starts from Coredo, providing a majestic park close to an artificial lake. From there the shrine is reachable by foot in 1h (2/3)km. The path is a bit steep at some point.

Castel Thun

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the picturesque Val di Non region of Trentino, Castel Thun is a stunning example of a Gothic-style castle. Dating back to the 13th century and having undergone significant renovations in the 1500s, this medieval hilltop fortress offers guided tours for visitors to explore its rich history. Once home to the Thun family until 1992, it is now part of the Castello del Buonconsiglio Museum System.
Amazing beautiful place. Gorgeous fantastic views, amazing historical place you must visit. The toilet is in the entrance of the castle (go there first). There are several floors with amazing historical collection in every room. Parking costs 4€ for 3 hours. There is cafeteria (without toilet) behind the castle with great pizza, local vine and local beer. You can also purchase beer with you. Amazing breathtaking beautiful place! Sometimes when you walk away from the castle, there might be a guy selling local products from the minivan - be ready to buy local products (cash&card). I definitely recommend visiting this place. Remember that you have free entrance with visitor card (we had our from our hotel Aquila). You can also go there if there is a really bad weather too: castle and the views are gorgeous!

Well worth visiting - interesting castle and pretty gardens. Paid parking (4 euro - but wouldn’t accept credit cards), 250m walk from parking uphill to castle. We spent 2 hours there and would recommend a visit
Andy P — Google review
An absolutely wonderful experience at Castello Thun! The location itself is stunning, overlooking the green valleys of Trentino, and the castle is very well maintained. The rooms, furniture, and collections give a real sense of history, yet it feels welcoming and not overwhelming. Walking through the halls and gardens is like stepping back in time. Highlights for me were the fascinating room full of horse carriages, the unique old kitchen, and the beautiful artwork throughout the castle. I also loved learning that Napoleon once stayed here—such an interesting fact! Outside, there’s a nice cafeteria where you can relax after your visit, and a little museum shop with lovely items to take home. The staff are very polite, kind, and helpful, which made the visit even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in history, culture, or simply beautiful views.

Been there in February 2020. Amazing place, in a stunning location. The castle itself is perfectly maintained and the guided tour is very interesting. The audio guide is recommended but not mandatory: there is a lot to see and to learn, since the place has a very rich and long history. Nice and friendly personnel. Only one remark: if you go during winter or in the beginning of spring, be sure to wear a jacket, as in the rooms it gets really cold. Anyway, definitely recommended.

Very nice castel to visit. DOGS NOT ALLOWED unless kept in a transport bag on your body. One star less for the poor organization of shuttle bus that doesn't bring you at the entrance rather leave you at P1 where then you have to climb for a long while

Museo Castello del Buonconsiglio is a historic castle complex in Trento, Italy, featuring a renaissance palace and an art gallery with panoramic views. The castle holds an important museum showcasing the artistic heritage of the Diocesan Museum and features the spectacular 15th-century fresco Cycle of the Months. Visitors can also explore the ruins of Tridentum, a Roman settlement beneath Piazza Lodron.
This is an incredible walk through a good portion of the castle with ancient artifacts and high-quality medieval paintings in every room. The views from the higher floors look out into the property gardens or out into the city. Truly stunning! Worth the trip to Trento.

So cool — I love the paintings on exhibit, the architecture, the general feeling of being in a well preserved castle. We highly recommend visiting if you are passing through!

This Castello, which also features an attached palazzo, punches way above its weight. The museum features a rich and detailed history with many artifacts spanning the 10,000 years of civilization around the greater Trentino region. The museum also offers an interesting lesson of the incredibly complex political history of this pivotal region. The castle and later – built palazzo are far more extensive than I realized, and include an eventual climb to the top of the palazzo that commands sweeping views of Trento and its stunning valley. The beautiful gardens around the fortress are an added bonus!

Nice castle with an exposition about local art from the area. There was also an exposition from a local artist from the 18th century which was quite nice and very comprehensive. The layout of the castle and the expositions is a little confusing as is the location of the entrance. At the top of the castle there is a really nice view of the whole city and the surrounding valley.

MUSE is a modern and impressive museum that focuses on science and natural history, featuring interactive exhibits. The museum constantly updates its main exhibitions to reflect the latest developments in collaboration with national and international partners. MUSE Lab conducts advanced experiments in new technologies. The museum's exhibition uses the metaphor of a mountain to explore life on Earth, starting from the terrace and descending through floors dedicated to biodiversity, sustainability, evolution, and a tropical greenhouse.
MUSE this place is very entertaining, educative with huge exhibition and activities. I was very surprised how interesting it actually was. Everything very organised and super clear, reception,help desk, souvenir shop, lockers, toilets, nice outside area, terrace, and exhibition zone. Plus they have this tropical area with plants where you can feel as in jungles. Completely different world. In exhibition throughout the floors you could see many animals geographical and historical facts. Touch cold ice and play multiple riddle kind of games, kids absolutely love those games. Either on screens or physical games. Simply impressive and everyone had A good good time. Would recommend anyone especially families with kids this place is specially for them. Would recommend to book in advance and get ready to spend there 2-3 hours.

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!

The castle offers tours and boasts stunning vineyard views from its turreted ramparts and tower. Soave itself is an ancient village with Roman origins, known for its well-preserved medieval architecture.
Great place to visit while in the area. The castel is owned by a private person and they've done an amazing job restoring the castle. The lady who was there was fantastic, she shared her knowledge about the place. Highly recommend to visit the castle.

Large castle, nicely furnished and decorated in a few choice rooms. Really cool to be able climb to the top of the tower and have that view out over Soave and an expansive view over the valley. Bring your camera! Without a tour and hour or so is probably sufficient to wander the grounds unless you just want to hang out. Certainly worth getting inside the castle.

Casa di Giulietta, also known as Juliets House, is a 13th-century gothic-style building in Verona that has become a popular tourist attraction. Although it was once owned by the Dal Cappello family and not the Capulets of Shakespeare's story, it still exudes an enchanting charm that captivates visitors.
What a cool experience!! Definitely get tickets and go inside the house. Such amazing interiors! Definitely will be using the ceilings and frescos for quilting inspiration.
Lara K — Google review
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. ❤️
Hasan H — Google review
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.
Anuša G — Google review
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.
Saulė T — Google review
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
K. M — Google review
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.

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.

Parco Natura Viva, located between Pastrengo and Bussolengo near Lazise, offers a unique experience with its Auto-Safari Park where visitors can drive through and observe lions, tigers, monkeys, and various bird species. The park also features a zoo housing a wide variety of animals and an impressive dinosaur park with life-sized replicas.
Great zoo experience at Lake Garda! We were genuinely impressed by this zoo. The grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained, with plenty of room for the animals. You can tell that animal welfare is a top priority here – the enclosures are large, clean, and provide lots of shade. The animals looked healthy and well cared for, and many were easy to observe without feeling like their space was compromised. There’s also plenty of shade along the walking paths, which makes the visit pleasant even on hot days. The layout is clear and well signposted, and everything feels thoughtfully arranged. The restaurants on site were a pleasant surprise – good food, reasonable prices, and a nice variety to choose from. One small suggestion: it would be great if the large playground had more shaded areas – especially for the little ones during the midday heat. All in all, a fantastic visit and a great day out for all ages. We’ll definitely be back

Gorgeous park! animals look happy and healthy. It's very large and unfortunately we couldn't see it all cause it started raining heavily and we had to leave 😔 but definitely worth a visit! There's also a fun kids park inside so you can have a bite while the kids play and enjoy some great live music 😊👌🏻

Took us 4 hours to complete as a couple walking around at a normal pace. If you bring your kids it will easily take an entire day, the place is massive and has a lot to offer. The animals have a lot of space and you can tell they are taken good care of. Can highly recommend visiting!

A must-visit! Parco Natura Viva is a beautiful nature park with great habitats for animals. I highly recommend adding the photo safari option (a small extra charge) – together the park + safari ticket is only €29 and absolutely worth it. My tip: go in the afternoon hours when it’s less hot, for an even better experience.
Simo B — Google review
The park is huge and nicely organized, I was here during the summer so most of the animals were outside and visible. Some of the animals are hidden so you cannot see them, for example lions (there is only one window from where they could be seen) Overall, the zoo is great!
Jakov P — Google review
This is really one of the best zoos that we have ever been to. We were thoroughly impressed with the amount of space that the animals had and the quality of their environments. Most signs were in both Italian and English. The food was not only good but not overpriced like some zoos. It was very hot when we visited though and I do wish that there had been places to fill out water bottles. The Zoo was very easily accessible from Verona by bus.
Scott M — Google review
Absolutely great park! We started with the Safari by own car and continued walking in the park. The park is decided into areas, with corresponding animals. There are sufficient places to eat, drink coffee and toilets. For a hot sunny day 90% you can walk in the shade. The animal areas are well maintained and cared for. Buy your tickets online from official website, saves money and ones you bought the park tickets, you get a link to book the safari. We spend 5 hours in total and still didn’t see everything. So we will visit again. Visited on a Monday within high season, still easy to walk or see animals front row.
Vincenzo — Google review
The biggest ZOO in Italy! You have a 4 hours walk through the park and 40 minutes ride in the safari. Safari is a great experience and must see! We bought the tickets online for the park, safari and parking (in the application). Note: the walk in the park and the safari need to be in the same day. So, if you go one day in the park and want the next one in the safari it won’t be doable.

Ducale Palace

Mentioned on

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Ducale Palace, a magnificent Renaissance fortress and the former residence of the Gonzaga family, is an absolute highlight when exploring Mantua. This stunning palace boasts an impressive collection of frescoes by renowned artists like Mantegna and Pisanello, alongside exquisite tapestries attributed to Raphael. As you wander through its numerous rooms filled with treasures, you'll be captivated by painted ceilings that seem to tell stories from another era. The palace also features enchanting secret gardens that add to its charm.
Amazing place and the ticket price (15€) is really decent compared to other more famous palaces and given the amount of space, art and history you see. We were simply astonished. You can easily spend 4-5h and if it's raining outside, you have no reason to hurry up. We loved it, it's a must if you're in Mantova.
Anca A — Google review
This was perhaps the best Palazzo I ever visited. Of course, Mantegna's work (camera degli sposi) was fab, but the building, setting, views as a whole were remarkable. I can understand why 400 years of Gonzagas lived here.
Laurie P — Google review
Palazzo Ducale is a breathtaking testament to Renaissance opulence—a vast labyrinthine complex of over 500 rooms, evolved from the 13th to the 17th century by luminaries like Giulio Romano, Antonio Maria Viani, and Giuseppe Piermarini . The crown jewel is undoubtedly the Camera degli Sposi, Andrea Mantegna’s illusionistic masterpiece that transports you into the heart of the Gonzaga dynasty . You’ll also discover the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, rich with mythological frescoes and regal reflections , along with sumptuous tapestries and Rubens’s “Adoration of the Holy Trinity” .
Giulia B — Google review
Four hours of magnificance! This palace is now one of my favourites. Starting with the bridal room and Mantegna's masterpiece - leading through corridors, rooms, passages, balustrades and gardens with some of the most stunning works ever made. As for the gardens and collection rooms - Having visited the Met's Cloisters, brought back memories - Ducale's Palace must have been an important benchmark and inspiration. A worthwhile visit. Bring time and a pair of comfy shoes or sandels. I walked the full stretches of Venice's palazzos, but Ducale is where I needed to rest my feet after the visit.

I would say that it is the main place you have to visit in northern Italy. The Palace is huge. Mind that you will need at least to 4-5 hours if you want to see most of it. It has a day off so either check in advance or take working hours from the info point near it.

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Basilica di Sant'Andrea is an impressive Renaissance church known for its vast vaulted interior and a reliquary that is believed to contain Christ's blood. The basilica was constructed by Andrea Mantegna, a renowned court painter, and Leon Battista Alberti, a prominent Renaissance architect. The church showcases the new Renaissance humanist style and stands as a triumphant display of their work.
Cool, ornate church. Certainly worth a stop to check it out. Looks like during the season there is annoption for crypt tours and to the walkway up in the main dome. We saw the sign for them, but it was behind bars and the tours were clearly not being offered at this time. Looks like it would be an interesting option. Even without, it is certainly worth admiring this chiesa.

Basilica di Sant'Andrea in Mantua is a stunning church with an impressive façade and a beautifully decorated interior. It’s especially known for housing a relic said to contain the blood of Christ. The architecture is grand yet inviting and stepping inside feels like walking into a piece of Renaissance history. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town!
Zongle — Google review
Soul soothing and fulfilling. A feast for the mind and eyes just being in here. I personally prefer visiting churches compared to the Museums or Art galleries - it is usually free of charge, a lot less people and I get to relish their beautiful and unprecedented work of art and architecture. Treasure all around and above - It is best done sitting on one of the long pews and simply look up. There are a staggering collection of beauty and religious significance here. "Do not judge a book by its cover" it is a place that is unassuming on the outside but absolutely phenomenal inside and dominates over the Piazza Mantegna. Here preserves the greatest relic of Christianity: the Sacred Vessels containing the blood of Christ.
Angelina C — Google review
Free entry, but don't let that fool you. If you want the church to be lightened up for better vision you need to pay. Beautiful, details in painting and sculpture but open up your spiritual eyes and look at all the demonic signs and symbols of the freemasons.

Absolutely breathtaking place! If there's something in Mantova you shouldn't miss, it's this gorgeous colorful basilica. Especially the paintings are extraordinary! The entry is free, just make sure not to visit during the long lunch break.

We were lucky to find a guide who told us the story of this magnificent church and its relics. It gave us the goosebumps. The trip in the crypt was awesome and a first for us, so we were really impressed. Clearly you need faith to believe all the stories, but they are nevertheless beautiful. I also loved the paintings inside and all the decorations, but especially the gothic part of this otherwise Renaissance monument. Go inside!

Luckly found this zoo when trying to find things to do in the area while on holiday. What a surprise. Very cheap at €24 to get in and was huge. All animals were in good condition and the enclosure were top notch. So much to see and do while there. Definitely worth a visit. To get there we got a 2 buses and then walked about 20 mins. So not really easy accessible if dont have a car but is do able.

Rafał Ż — Google review
This is a really cool place! It’s a bit hard to reach from Bergamo if you don’t have a car, but not impossible. There’s quite a large variety of animals, some of them in really nice habitats (like the exotic birds). There are many restaurants and places where you can eat your own food, even some playgrounds for kids. There’s a train that takes you around the place and it costs €2. It was not very crowded when we arrived, but we visited on a Saturday at 5PM. By the way, the ticked is €18 if you arrive 3 hours before closing (and 3 hours is more than enough if you don’t have young children). Indeed, some spaces are small for the animals (like the elephants, rhinos, or the big cats) and they looked quite sad. Not necessarily not cared for, but a bit depressy. In my opinion, it’s a really cool place, with lots of animals and if you visit Bergamo, it’s definitely not to be missed!

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Leolandia is a fantastic amusement park that offers a wide range of attractions for both kids and adults. Visitors can enjoy thrilling roller coasters, water rides, and miniature models of famous Italian landmarks. The park is well-maintained with plenty of dining options and restroom facilities. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds, as the waiting times for rides are generally short.
This amusement park is ideal for younger children, offering plenty of gentle, less-scary rides. While the attractions aren’t as elaborate or themed as those at Gardaland or Movieland, they deliver classic amusement-park fun in a well-designed, well-maintained setting. Beyond the rides, the park includes a small farm, a reptile house and aquarium, “Mini-Italy,” and several cheerful playgrounds scattered around the grounds. Buying tickets online in advance will save you money.

Great place for younger children, height limits on some rides (105cm & 120cm) so worth keeping this in mind before you visit. Was a hot June day, plenty of wet areas to cool down but they are a bit manic so need to supervise young ones Bought our tickets in advance, and walked right in Food was responsibly priced, and the pizza I had was really good!
Adam B — Google review
Nice place for younger children that want to experience rides. However, we were bit disappointed about Thomas the train been on service on that day so we couldn't experience it. We were waiting for it and after asking to one of the staff members we discovered that wasn't operating. Was a quite day so we didn't experience any queue. I don' t think is worth waiting 45min or more for a ride on peak season. Overall was a nice experience, my son had so much fun and had the possibility to experience different rides that he never tried before
Alessandra B — Google review
Definitely interesting if you have kids and a spare day near Milan, though underwhelming if you’ve been to other parcs in Europe/US. It’s really geared to young kids, teenagers and up would quickly get bored. The parc itself is small but spacious, and clean. The only downside is the access roads; whover design the last couple of kms of entrance to the olace must have truly hated the parc (or people in general). Expect to waste about 30’ sitting in the car from the moment you see the entrance sign at a distance till you actually cross it

I Giardini di Villa Melzi, located in Bellagio, Italy, is a stunning botanical garden surrounding the 19th-century neo-classical mansion of Villa Melzi d'Eril. The garden features picturesque trails, statues, pavilions, and breathtaking views of Lake Como. While the villa itself is not open to the public, visitors can explore the serene botanical gardens and capture its beauty through leisurely strolls or specialized tours.
This place is mesmerizing. Happy by just walking around the garden and taking few pictures. There are two exits. You can go out and return by asking the staff to stamp on your wrist. There’s entrance near the port, very easy to walk to this place. We did not buy the ticket in advance since we saw the notice in the booking website that we need to be in line to get ticket anyway. Luckily, there was no queue, I believe because we visited during weekday in the afternoon (Oct 6). Not too many people there. Recommend!

It’s a very beautiful garden right on the lake. I don’t mind paying 10€ just to walk through the park because it does take some work to maintain the garden. It’s a nice place, there’s a museum too. However you cannot enter the main villa and it’s just not that amazing overall. It’s still a great place to be away from the touristy centro of Bellagio

Villa Melzi is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The gardens are immaculate, peaceful, and filled with stunning colors, especially in spring. Every path reveals something new—ancient trees, vibrant flowers, classical statues, and breathtaking views of the lake. The atmosphere is serene and elegant, perfect for a relaxing stroll or quiet reflection. The neoclassical villa adds a timeless charm, and the small museum and chapel offer fascinating historical insight. The combination of nature, art, and history is truly unique. It felt like walking through a living painting.

Villa Carlotta is a stunning 17th-century villa located on the shores of Lake Como, near the Grand Hotel Tremezzo. The villa boasts beautiful gardens and a remarkable botanical park with an impressive variety of rhododendrons and azaleas. Commissioned by Marquis Giorgio II Clerici, it features a neoclassical style with works by renowned artists such as Canova, Tiepolo, and Hayez.
Took the train to Varenna, then the boat and got off at Lenno. From Lenno we hiked to the villa following the lake shore (approx 4 km) This is a great hike, easy to make and not exhaustive. The only caveat is that there is a section of the hike that follows the road. Visited on Monday. Started with the gardens as there was a storm cloud on the lake and wanted to cover the gardens and move inside if the rain moved onto the place. The gardens are extensive and beautiful. The rhododendrons were in peak bloom (mid May). The Villa itself is also impressive, well curated and maintained. Overall a great small museum as a time capsule ot a different era. The cafeteria has gelato, panini and excellent beer. What else do you need beyond that. We entered the museum at 3:00 pm and left just after 6:pm. The combined ticket for the gardens and the villa is €15/p. Good value.

Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata

Mentioned on 
5 lists 
Cultural landmark
Museums
The Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata is a hidden gem located in the heart of Lodi. This magnificent church, dating back to the late 15th century, showcases stunning Lombard Renaissance and late Baroque architecture. The exterior features captivating frescoes protected by a baroque wrought iron gate, while the interior boasts rich frescoes, sumptuous gold decorations, and a beautifully decorated octagonal dome.
Extraordinary and beautiful.

A highlight of Lodi!
Betsy C — Google review
The Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata, also known as the Sanctuary of the Incoronata, is a Catholic church in Lodi, Lombardy, Italy, and a masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance art. Origins: The temple was built starting in 1488, following reported miracles in 1487, when a fresco of the Virgin Mary on a brothel’s facade in Via Incoronata (formerly Contrada Lomellini) allegedly wept during a fight. This prompted the citizens of Lodi to construct a civic temple dedicated to the Crowned Virgin. Civic Significance: The term "Civico" (municipal) reflects its ownership by the Lodi commune, not the diocese, as it was funded and promoted by citizens and local authorities, symbolizing civic pride and devotion. Construction: Designed by Giovanni Battagio, a pupil of Bramante, construction began on May 29, 1488. Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono took over in 1489, completing the dome by 1491, and Lorenzo Maggi finished the bell tower in 1503. The facade was completed in 1879 by Alfonsino Truzzi.

(Translated by Google) A small sanctuary in Lodi located near the cathedral, construction began in 1488 and is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Lombard Renaissance. It has an octagonal plan and is richly decorated with frescoes and works of art. It belongs to the municipality because its creation stems from a citizen initiative. (Original) Piccolo santuario a Lodi situato vicino alla cattedrale, edificato a partire dal 1488, è uno dei maggiori capolavori del rinascimentale lombardo. È a pianta ottagonale ed è ricchissimo di decorazioni, affreschi e opere d'arte. È di appartenenza comunale perché la sua nascita deriva da un'iniziativa cittadina.
Marco — Google review
(Translated by Google) The church, built between 1488 and 1494 based on a design by Giovanni Battaggio, is one of Lombardy's most astonishing Renaissance jewels. It is called a civic temple because it was commissioned and financed by the Lodi community, in recognition of the strong popular devotion to the miraculous image housed there. The octagonal plan, a symbol of perfection and rebirth, houses a fully decorated interior, a true Baroque-Renaissance treasure trove overflowing with paintings, sculptures, frescoes, and stuccoes created by the greatest Lombard artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. The works are truly numerous: rather than listing them, the motto here applies: "not to describe, but to contemplate." (Original) La chiesa, edificata tra il 1488 e il 1494 su progetto di Giovanni Battaggio, è uno dei gioielli rinascimentali più sorprendenti della Lombardia. È detto tempio civico perché voluto e finanziato dalla comunità lodigiana, riconoscente per la forte devozione popolare legata all’immagine miracolosa che vi era custodita. La pianta ottagonale, simbolo di perfezione e rinascita, accoglie un interno interamente decorato, un vero scrigno barocco-rinascimentale traboccante di tele, sculture, affreschi e stucchi realizzati dai maggiori artisti lombardi tra Cinque e Seicento. Le opere sono davvero numerosissime: più che elencarle, qui vale il motto “non si descrive, si contempla”.

Famous from Hollywood-movies this gorgeous villa and surrounding gardens are a must visit when visiting Lake Como. We took the guides tour inside the Villa which was very fascinating. It was very hot and crowded in gardens however, so would recommend to visit off-season and make sure to buy your tickets in advance.

Autodromo Nazionale Monza

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Car racing venue
Sights & Landmarks
Autodromo Nazionale Monza is a historic motor racing circuit located in the heart of a city park. The venue hosts regular car and motorbike races, as well as offering the opportunity to drive or be driven around. The circuit's old banked section is a must-visit for F1 fans, providing an interesting glimpse into its past. While not as modern as some tracks, Autodromo Nazionale Monza still holds charm and interest for those who are not fans of racing.
Fantastic track for a classic formula one race. If you’re general admission or grand stand ticket holders, be prepared for an adventure of a weekend with 30k plus steps, lots of missed navigation, and an unforgettable experience seeing a sea of Ferrari fans. Definitely a life changing experience but highly recommended for a F1 fanatic!

Went for the F1, loved it. Such a historical track. We stayed just outside Milan, and used the shuttle service, which for only 10 euro is amazing value for money. The food on offer was decent and well priced. The toilets were very clean and were constantly cleaned though the day. The race on Sunday was not that exciting, but it doesn't matter as it was about the experience, and I have to admit standing in the grandstand, when they Italian anthem was being sung was amazing.

🏁 Incredible Weekend at the International GT Open – Monza 🇮🇹 What a weekend at the International GT Open! The Monza F1 Circuit, set in beautiful wooded parkland, is truly something special — the atmosphere, the speed, and the sound are unforgettable. Even better, entry was completely free all weekend, with great access to most of the stands — including Friday practice, which is quite rare. It was amazing to experience the fastest Formula 1 circuit up close, surrounded by passionate fans and stunning scenery. We stayed at a fantastic Airbnb just 100 yards from the entrance, which made the whole trip super convenient. Highly recommend this spot if you’re planning a visit. Already can’t wait to go back next year! 🏎️💨

The Temple of Speed. There are no words that do a visit to this track justice. Affordable parking, free paddock entry for many race weekends throughout the year. The roar of the engines. Getting up close and personal with the teams. You can feel the pulse of motorsport in your veins.

Amazing track to see F1. Worth the money to buy seats. Crazy event. It's possible to get a good view with general admission but you must be at the track first thing every morning. The selected seats are the way to go. Lots of great people there too. All very friendly

It took soooooooooo long to walk from the parking lot, even the closest one. There’s no shuttle. It’s probably a close a mile away. Lots of local Italian exciting fans. I don’t like how they set up the seating, fan zone, food, games, music, shops, walking paths, outdated bathrooms, etc. This track is spacious for the drivers, but nothing special for the viewers. I won’t return here though we love F1. I suppose you can helicopter in, that would be better????

Buy your tickets as soon as they are released which is 1 yr before and only buy from official ticket stores. Pick your parking & gates wisely & be ready for a lot of walking. Try and arrive at least 2hrs before the event you’re interested in.

Great place to have fun as a family friend or car lovers. On the outside great park to have a nice picnic, chit chat or coffe. Excellent place to do sports such as cycling or running around the circuit in the green park.

Mediocre experience inside. The library without books, the rooms with almost not furniture, in lack of the latest the upper flow is filled with modern art that fills completely out of place with few exceptions. Some of the photos here on Google were a bit outdated or misleading for our visit. At the same time, with noticing that you only pay 10 EUR for the entry ticket, so you don’t loose much. During our visit, the English tour wasn’t an available option, while the Italian one included in the ticket price.

The entrance ticket costs €10 and includes a guided tour. What’s special is that instead of just one guide, there are 4 guides located in different rooms of the Villa, each explaining the history, architecture, and details of the palace. When I visited, the explanations were only in Italian (not sure if tours are also available in other languages, maybe depending on the day or group). The tour of the Villa Reale itself takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you also want to explore the exhibition about the Second World War and the second floor with additional rooms showcasing modern art, then plan for around 2 hours in total. Booking your timeslot online is recommended on weekends. To explore the park around the building a bicycle is advised.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Royal Experience at Villa Reale, Monza! Visiting Villa Reale in Monza was more than just a trip—it was a journey through history, wealth, and the art of longevity. Walking through its grand halls and stunning gardens, I was reminded that true success isn’t just about wealth but about vision, structure, and well-being—principles that have shaped great leaders for centuries. 🏰 A Masterpiece of Strategic Thinking – Every detail of this palace speaks of careful planning and an empire built on foresight and purpose—just like any successful business or legacy. 💎 Luxury Beyond Material Wealth – Villa Reale embodies the idea that true abundance isn’t about excess, but about access—to beauty, serenity, and a lifestyle that prioritizes quality over quantity. 🌿 A Lesson in Longevity & Prevention – The historical elegance of this place reminds us that those who thrived understood the power of sustainability, clean living, and holistic well-being. The same principles apply today—investing in health, clear thinking, and conscious choices is the true key to abundance. If you are an entrepreneur, visionary, or someone who values success, history, and holistic well-being, this is a must-visit destination. Villa Reale is not just a palace; it’s a living lesson in wealth, leadership, and lasting impact. ⭐ Highly recommended for those who seek inspiration and timeless wisdom. #VillaReale #5StarExperience #HistoryMeetsLuxury #WealthAndWellBeing #EntrepreneurMindset #LongevitySecrets #SuccessAndHealth

Villa Reale in Monza is a lovely spot for relaxing, picnicking, or jogging surrounded by nature. It's spacious, peaceful, and great for families—kids especially love watching the many squirrels running around 😀

Gorgeous villa in Monza! The interior apartments and rooms that you can tour on the first and second floors are insanely beautiful - even better than Versailles. Our tour guide Salvatore was the absolute best and we learned a lot about the history behind the decoration of the rooms, the family, and the furniture! Unfortunately we did not have enough time planned but will absolutely be back next time we’re in Monza. :)

A very nice place to walk around and admire, it has a huge garden. A cafe on ground floor with seating inside and outside. I wouldn't go out my way to visit unless you are already in Monza.
Luke — Google review
Such a nice place to relax. Has a huge garden I mean it’s really huge. I felt like I was in old fantasy movie. I mean inside the garden whole world going to forget and you are in another world. Front of the villa it’s looks like Landon palace. I was able to get beautiful pictures and get a relax time. I went there in a weekday, there wasn’t crowded at all so I enjoyed it really well. I didn’t walk lot I just stayed near the villa. And I don’t have any idea about inside the villa because I didn’t go there but according to pictures that I saw, I think as the garden inside is beautiful. You should visit that place if you’re in Milano o Monza.
