Piazzale Michelangelo

Mentioned on 
+61 other lists 
Plaza
Sights & Landmarks
Piazzale Michelangelo is a 19th-century square in Florence, featuring a bronze replica of Michelangelo's David and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. It's a popular spot for romantic dates, where visitors can enjoy the stunning bird's-eye view while sipping on wine and listening to musicians play favorites during sunset.
Such a beautiful experience! In order to see the beautiful views at the top, you have to walk about 10-15 minutes up an incline with stairs/ ramps. It's not too bad once you take your time. The view of Florence from the top of the Plaza is unreal, you have a panoramic view and can take great pictures. There are many food/ drink/ trinket vendors across the Plaza as well as benches to sit. It's free entry and you can stay as long/ little as you'd like. I highly recommend making the time to visit if you're in the area.

Magical. A stunning, free location where you are as high as the Duomo, and can see across the city with a vista that would rival any of the towers in the centre. Moreover, at sunset, it provides one of the best view of the bridges of Florence, and has a playful vibe. It feels safe, and the panoramic spot is not the only part to enjoy. There are shuttles to take you up there, but the walk up is not too challenging if you are see to walking up stairs a bit. Thing is to take your time. It is exposed, so in the height of summer would be a lot. But Spring and Autumn is perfect, and a little less bothered by the hawkers of jewellery and handbags who constantly appear. You might want to bring some food and water up, though there is a nearby eatery. If you feel adventurous you can head further uphill to the Abbazia San Miniato for views higher up, but further away. For me, I find the Piazza Michelangelo is quite enough for the best views, higher isn’t always better. I tried this view during midday, and sunset, but wasn’t here at night, though it felt safe enough I’d expect it would be fine, but check other reviews here. There is a pretty route up from the Porta San Niccolo, approached from the Piazzetta di San Miniato. This Piazza was one of THE highlights of my trip to Florence, I could have spent hours up here.
Gordon D — Google review
A must do when in Firenze. The ideal would be passing through Ponte Vecchio and walking down the river until you find the stairs with all the fountains. The view from the Piazzale is really amazing, lots of people though. From here you can have a wide view of the city and also from some amazing gardens. Unfortunately we had torrential rain as soon as we arrived there but it was well worth the visit.
Sidónio S — Google review
It's a decent hike up the hill that's worth the effort. You'll be rewarded by a great view of Florence and if you're lucky, a sunset over Florence is a majestic view after all. However, there are just too many tourists at the peak that might diminish your experience overall.
Lee L — Google review
Piazzale Michelangelo is hands down one of the best places in Florence to catch the sunset. The panoramic view of the city is absolutely breathtaking — you can see the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the entire skyline bathed in golden light. It’s one of those moments that make you fall in love with Florence all over again. Be sure to arrive a little early — the place fills up quickly, especially around sunset. I took the bus up and was lucky to get on; several others had to wait because it was already packed. If you enjoy walking, you can also hike up from the river for a great workout and an even better reward at the top! The atmosphere is fantastic — people chatting, musicians playing, couples dancing, and everyone just soaking in the magic of the view. It’s lively yet peaceful at the same time. An unforgettable experience and one of the must-see spots in Florence. I’d come back in a heartbeat to watch the sun set over that beautiful city again.
Chen Z — Google review
Stunning place to see the whole city view. During the night lights, city shines even more. You have road climbing and stairs climbing at the same time. They also have some bars, restaurants and gift shops on the top. The place, worth to see if you in Florence.

You have to see the city from this view, it’s fantastic. We were there on a Sunday in November and although there was a decent sized crowd, it wasn’t overwhelming. I can imagine in the summer months this place is crawling with people especially at sunset.
Alissa W — Google review
Beautiful experience! If you’re lucky to get a sunny day, all of Florence turns orange with beautiful lighting at sunset. You can see the entire city from up here. There are a lot of people, but the place is big enough to find your own spot. There are also food trucks and places to eat and drink if you’re looking for that kind of experience.

Uffizi Galleries

Art museum
Museums
The Uffizi Galleries, located just a short stroll from the iconic Ponte Vecchio, is a 16th-century building that houses an extensive collection of Primitive and Renaissance paintings and masterpieces. This renowned museum welcomes over two million visitors annually who come to admire ancient sculptures and historic paintings spanning from the Middle Ages to modern times.
Being inside the Uffizi feels like stepping into the bloodstream of art history itself — every hallway hums with centuries of creativity. It was an amazing experience being there. The paintings, the sculptures, the architecture… everything pulls you into a quiet dialogue with the past. Standing in front of the Botticelli rooms feels almost unreal, like the Renaissance is breathing right beside you. The staff were organized and helpful, the flow of the gallery felt smooth even with crowds, and there’s a certain magic in the light that comes through those old windows. It’s the kind of place that lingers in your mind long after you leave. A place worth visiting again, every time your heart needs a reminder of human imagination at its finest.
Arash B — Google review
It was magnificent. As someone who isn't an art affectionado, it was a bit overwhelming in some ways. Take a walk through it at your pace, and don't worry about missing anything. By the time you are done with this and the other art museums (like the Gallery Accademia) you will be kinda art-ed out and it will blue together. Absolutely worth going to though overall. In my opinion, the Vasari Corridor is cool, but probably not worth it.
Ethan C — Google review
Very nice gallery, on par with other big museums and art galleries of the world (Louvre and co.). I highly recommend reserving a slot online otherwise the waiting times are very long. Botticelli, da Vinci....just go and see. You certainly will not regret it. And by the way, the best thing is that children and teens uo to 18 years of age have free entry!!! That's a great way to encourage families to make the kids aquainted with high end artistry 👍

Amazing art gallery and museum - Rembrandt, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio and many more. You could easily spend a day or more in here - if you're on a shorter time line like I was, check out the maps and decide which bits over the two floors you want to focus on. Also lots of benches to sit down on and get off your feet for a moment which is great.
Michael M — Google review
Good one! Great staff and amazing art collection. Some tips: - Download official app for audio commentary about the exhibits. It worth few bucks to unlock all descriptions but it worth it. - Highly recommend free Rick Steves audio guide for Uffizi Gallery. Download his app for your device and get a great tour for free! - Cafe is overrated. High prices with poor food selection. The view is blocked by plants. Try to grab a bite before visiting the gallery. - The staff is kind of strict regarding name on the ticket. Make sure that you have your ID or photo of your ID with you. Make sure that your name is on the ticket. - Make sure that you enter within an hour of your ticket time. They are pretty strict about it. - Everyone complained that it's crowded. Bit we visited on the week day in the middle of November and had no problems with crowds. - Buying ticket on the day of your visit is cheaper than in advance. - Views from the windows are amazing. Make sure to check them out. - Didn't visit Vosario Corridor as it's too expensive for a corridor with white walls.

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

This museum is a must see in Firenze. I booked a tour with a guide and was so happy I did. We got through security quickly and were able to see all the most.famous pieces with a rare insight into their origin and their place in history. I plan on going back again since there is so much to see. Definitely go. You will do glad you did.
Lisa F — Google review
Museum is huge and I advice visitors to go as early as they can to avoid the crowd. The Gallery was built in the 16th century and designed by Giorgio Vasari. It is famous worldwide for its sculptures and paintings. Collection is huge and includes some of the famous works from Botticelli, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Piero della Francesca, Giotto and many other. It requires approximately 3-4 hours to see most of things and to enjoy some of the masterpieces inside.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Mentioned on 
+126 other lists 
Cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo of Florence, is a 1200s landmark featuring a red-tiled dome, colored marble facade, and elegant Giotto tower. Visiting this complex allows you to experience multiple must-see sights in one go.
This iconic cathedral is breathtaking inside and out, with its red-tiled dome, intricate marble façade, and towering Giotto bell tower. The scale and artistry are unmatched, and the surrounding piazza adds to its grandeur. Entry is free, but climbing the dome or accessing the terraces requires advance booking due to high demand. Accessibility is thoughtfully addressed, with designated entrances and support for visitors with mobility needs. A must-visit landmark that truly anchors Florence’s historic soul. Whether you’re admiring the architecture or attending mass, the experience is both humbling and inspiring—Florence at its finest.
Jonathan P — Google review
The Florence Duomo is more than just a building; it is an architectural symbol of the entire Italian Renaissance, dominating the city and the skyline. What immediately strikes you is the opulence and intricacy of its decoration. The façade, clad in colored marble (white from Carrara, green from Prato, and pink from Maremma), is a stunning sight. Nearby stands Giotto's majestic Campanile and the ancient Baptistery of San Giovanni, decorated with a black-and-white geometric pattern on the outside. Brunelleschi's dome itself is an engineering marvel of the era, visible from virtually anywhere in the city. Climb beneath it to admire the stunning fresco cycle "The Last Judgment." The frescoes are striking in their scale and detail. They depict Christ in glory, the Virgin Mary, and detailed scenes of the saved and condemned. The interior of the main nave has majestic but more restrained proportions than its exterior. Note the unusual details, such as the 24-hour clock (the so-called Hora Italica) by Paolo Uccello above the entrance. The nave also features monumental equestrian frescoes, including an image of the condottiere John Hawkwood, and marble tombstones. The Duomo complex is the pinnacle of Florentine art and architecture. The exterior of the façade and Campanile is a triumph of color and decoration, while the interior, especially the monumental frescoes of the dome, makes one feel like a tiny speck of dust in the midst of history and art. But be aware that you'll have to wait in line for 20 minutes to an hour to get inside.
Witold D — Google review
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore — or the Duomo — is absolutely breathtaking! The architecture alone is enough to leave you in awe, but climbing up to the roof was a real highlight. From the top, you get an incredible view of Florence, the surrounding rooftops, and the Duomo itself in all its glory. It’s the perfect spot for photos and to truly appreciate the scale and beauty of this masterpiece. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The frescoes, stained glass, and intricate details showcase the artistry and devotion poured into every inch of the building. Even just walking around the piazza, the grandeur of the Duomo dominates the skyline and gives a real sense of Florence’s history and culture. If you’re visiting Florence, don’t miss climbing the dome — it’s a bit of a workout, but totally worth it. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore isn’t just a landmark; it’s an unforgettable experience that captures the spirit and beauty of the city.
Chen Z — Google review
This one is hard... I can't give it 5 stars. First of all the Cathedral is GORGEOUS from the outside, way too many people for the free entry. We had a Brunelleschi Pass and to be able to enter the cathedral and visit the Santa Reparata, we waited almost one hour outside, raining! The Dome was amazing to climb (again lots of people) but dear lord, the church inside is so anti climatic. I could not believe my eyes! The Batistero was a complete disaster. It's being renovated so you enter to look up and see some replica of the ceiling on some tissue... Honesyit would be better if they closed that place until it's done. The views from the Dome are just spectacular. The outside marble work is amazing. 1 star less for the overly crowded experience and the "disappointing interior"
Sidónio S — Google review
Climbed the Dome and the Bell Tower. An absolutely incredible experience. You get to see the Dome interior fresco up close. Up at the top, you get the whole view of Florence which is stunning and breathtaking. Highly recommend anyone who are physically fit to do the climb and remember to buy tickets in advance as tickets will be sold out for the day.

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

I attended Sunday Mass at the Duomo in Firenze this morning, Santa Maria del Fiore, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Construction began in 1296 and the church was not consecrated until 1436, 140 years later! It is of the largest cathedrals in the world. Brunelleschi's Dome is still the largest brick dome ever constructed. It was a groundbreaking undertaking of engineering in its time.
Francine L — Google review
Humongous cathedrals and very iconic. Could not go in but I would recommend doing a ticketing system where you can buy to go in because although it’s free, the queue almost circles the entire cathedral. Very pretty architecture and detailed, similar to the one in Milan.

Specialty Museums
The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze is a renowned art museum that is famous for being home to the iconic David sculpture by Michelangelo. This museum, founded in the 18th century as a teaching space for the Academy of Fine Arts, features an impressive collection of artworks by artists such as Sandro Botticelli, del Sarto, and Alessandro Allori.
There are no words that truly prepare you for seeing Michelangelo’s David in person. The detail, the scale, the presence—it stops you in your tracks. The museum itself is intimate compared to others in Florence, but that makes the moment with David even more powerful. The other exhibits are worth lingering for—Renaissance paintings, sculptures, and musical instruments—but let’s be honest, this is David’s house. 🌎🗺️ Tip: Book your ticket ahead of time, or you’ll spend hours in line. Go early in the morning for a quieter experience.
Michelle S — Google review
It was such a great experience visiting the Accademia di Firenze! The sculptures and paintings are absolutely wonderful, and the place is quite large - you’ll need plenty of time to explore. I bought a skip-the-line ticket in advance, so I didn’t have to wait at all and could enter right away. Totally worth it! Otherwise, you’ll have to queue for a long time.
Soojin L — Google review
The Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence is one of the most inspiring places to experience the essence of the Renaissance. Though smaller than the Uffizi, it holds one of the greatest treasures of human creativity — Michelangelo’s David. Seeing it in person is overwhelming: carved from a single block of marble between 1501 and 1504, the 5.17-meter figure stands tall and alive, every muscle and vein rendered with breathtaking precision. The sculpture captures both physical perfection and the inner courage of Florence’s republican spirit, embodying the Renaissance belief in human potential. Beyond David, the gallery offers an intimate journey through Florentine art from the 14th to 16th centuries. The “Prisoners” — Michelangelo’s unfinished statues — seem to struggle to free themselves from the marble, revealing the artist’s process and philosophy. The museum also includes a fascinating collection of historical musical instruments, adding depth and variety to the visit. The atmosphere is serene, especially during early morning hours. Booking a skip-the-line ticket is recommended to avoid crowds. Though compact, the Accademia’s focused layout allows visitors to truly appreciate the masterpieces without distraction. Standing before David is not just an art encounter — it’s an emotional connection to the genius and ideals that defined an entire era.
Liviu S — Google review
The David and the prisoners is a must see. The corridor they are within? Magnificent. I highly highly recommend making sure you go through it in the direction that has you entering the prisoner's/David's room/corridor from the far end though. If you go through the music section first, which is quite good, you will enter halfway through the prisoners, and some of the effect will be lost. Overall my favorite Galleria we went to!
Ethan C — Google review
The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze is an absolute must-visit when in Florence. It’s not a large museum, but every corner holds something fascinating — and of course, the highlight is David. Seeing Michelangelo’s masterpiece in person is breathtaking; no photo can truly capture its scale, detail, and presence. Standing before it, you can feel the energy, perfection, and genius behind every carved muscle and curve of marble. The museum also features other wonderful works by Michelangelo and Renaissance artists, as well as a beautiful collection of paintings and sculptures that give you a real sense of Florence’s artistic soul. We visited in the afternoon and found the crowds manageable, though booking tickets ahead of time is a good idea. The visit doesn’t take long — about an hour or so — but it’s one of those experiences that stays with you. The Accademia is more than just a museum; it’s a quiet, reverent space that reminds you why Florence is called the cradle of the Renaissance. Don’t miss it — David alone is worth the trip.

Pleasantly surprised to visit this place during our stints to watch the car races in the Mugello circuit. Went just to pass time but ended up filling the bags with super discounted items.

We have been here hoping to find some gems. Although there are a lot of shops, there were few clothes, at least for women. Or the collections at this moment in time were awful…I am not sure. And the discounts, in some shops it did not feel like outlet prices. Anyway, not worth the 50 min trip.

No better place for a Sunday after 5 PM! The outlet near Florence is the perfect spot to spend a relaxed Sunday evening. After 5 PM, the crowds thin out, making it ideal for browsing top designer stores without stress.
R R — Google review
It’s an okay outlet — nothing special. On the plus side, there’s a huge parking area with over ten charging spots for electric cars, which is really convenient. But despite the number of stores, the selection is underwhelming, and prices are exactly the same as in downtown Bologna. Honestly, there’s no real reason to come here just for shopping. You’ll find the same brands and deals in the city, with a much better atmosphere. Not worth a dedicated trip.

Very nice outlet, you can walk around and enjoy lot of italian and worldwide brands, prices are good. Lot of stores for kids clothes. There are coffee shop to rest and enjoy drink.

Decent outlet mall just outside of Florence, has most of the larger brands you would expect. No large discounts however when we were there. Parking options are great and layout of the area is well arranged. Felt however a bit desolated on a rainy weekday.

Piazza Santo Stefano, also known as Piazza delle Sette Chiese (Seven churches square), is a charming pedestrian area in Bologna. The piazza leads to the Seven Churches complex and is surrounded by historic palaces. It's a triangular space with porticos along both long sides and hosts cultural events, flea markets, and concerts.
A stunning square and a beautiful chapel and cloister. Well worth a visit. More peaceful than other places and with excellent cafes to relax and enjoy the view.

Lovely spot — surprisingly not too crowded during our visit. This open medieval square offers a refreshing change of pace in a city that can sometimes feel a bit tight and busy. A peaceful breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively.

The Santo Stefano square in Bologna is a place of 7 churches and it has historical significance due to this. A serene place to visit and enjoy the architecture and spiritual environment of churches. Also, you can get food for affordable prices near this square. In Italian, the 7 churches are known as Sette Chiese in Piazza Santo Stefano.

Piazza Maggiore, the main square in Bologna's historical center, is a bustling hub of activity. It serves as the perfect starting point for exploring the city, featuring notable landmarks such as the grand San Petronio cathedral, the iconic Neptune fountain, and the Palazzo d'Accursio museum housed within the city hall building.
We had a tour of the piazza with a very knowledgeable local guide. What a fascinating history and so much about Bologna I did not know. The piazza is easily accessible by foot or public transport from the central station.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.
John G — Google review
Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

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

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

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

Two Towers

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Two Towers, also known as Due Torri, are iconic landmarks in Bologna, Italy. These medieval leaning towers were built in the 12th and 13th centuries by noble families and have become symbols of the city. The taller of the two, Torre degli Asinelli (Asinelli Tower), stands at 97 meters with 498 steps offering panoramic views of Bologna.
The two towers in the heart of Bologna highlights the importance of preserving history. One of the towers is leaning, probably more than the one in Pisa (I saw that in a YouTube Video), and visibly one can see the leaning in comparison with the other tower. Currently, restoration work is going on and so they are not open to public. However, you can see and click photos from the road.

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

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

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

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.
Tomas J — Google review
Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.
E P — Google review
We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Lamborghini Automobile Museum

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Lamborghini Automobile Museum, located in Sant'Agata Bolognese, is a must-visit for car enthusiasts. The museum showcases an impressive collection of Lamborghini cars, including unique one-offs and scaled-down models. Additionally, visitors can book factory tours to get an inside look at the production process.
An unforgettable experience. The Lamborghini Museum and factory tour are definitely worth it. Seeing the history, design, and raw power behind these machines up close is something special. The factory visit adds another level — watching the craftsmanship in real time is impressive and inspiring. Just one thing: there’s no parking. You’re asked to park on nearby side streets. We were lucky to find a spot, but come on — you build cars… at some point, you have to park them. Then again, maybe that’s a problem even Lamborghini owners face too often. All in all, highly recommended. A must for any car enthusiast.
Thierry H — Google review
A Mecca for car enthusiasts that everyone should see when visiting Italy. Don't expect to visit a museum, because this is not really a museum, but a showroom dressed up as a museum. We didn't get to visit the factory because they were already sold out. I already have a car of that brand, so I would have loved to have visited the factory. The visit will easily take about 30 minutes. The property also has a small LamboStore hidden on the other side of the reception, be sure to visit there too.
Marko T — Google review
Very cool and stylish cars. Always wanted to take a closer look at them. Overall, I liked everything, but the museum is more like a car showroom where you pay for admission. The cars are just lined up on 2 floors. We visited 3 museums/collections that day. This one was the least pleasant in terms of presentation. Honestly, we expected more. Although Lamborghini is cool!

Nice place not so many cars. Classic icons: Miura, Countach, Diablo, and Murciélage Modern models: Aventador, Huracán, and limited editions like the Centenario and Sian Concept and prototype cars showcasing Lamborghini’s innovation Interactive exhibits on design, aerodynamics, and carbon fiber technology Factory Tours You can combine your museum visit with a guided factory tour, which lets you see cars being hand-assembled — a highlight for enthusiasts. Would you like me to plan a 1-day itinerary to visit the museum from Bologna or Modena.
Karen D — Google review
The Lamborghini Museum in Sant’Agata is a must-visit for anyone who loves the brand’s most extreme creations. The highlight is definitely the collection of HyperCars — stunning machines that showcase Lamborghini’s bold design language and engineering at its wildest. The lineup of classics is also a treat, offering a glimpse into the roots of the raging bull. That said, the museum itself is on the smaller side, and I found myself wishing there was a bit more depth on the company’s history and evolution. A few more exhibits or storytelling elements would have really rounded out the experience. Still, the cars that are there are absolutely worth the trip, and I genuinely enjoyed it. One practical note: the car park is a bit of a walk from the entrance, so plan a few extra minutes. Overall, a compact but thrilling stop for any Lamborghini fan.
RR C — Google review
It was a very interesting visit. There was a lot to read about each car and the whole story. 45 minutes wasn't enough for me to see, take pictures and read everything, but I also booked the facility and it was very interesting indeed. Each vehicle had their features and fun fact to read. When I was near the museum entrance I heard the staff tell to other visitor the factory visit was full, so if you are willing to come this far for a visit you definitely should book the visit ahead.
Jean-Louis M — Google review
What an amazing experience this was to get a factory tour of the Urus line. To see how they integrate technology and help their employees work easier and not demand more out of them. Was incredible! I would highly recommend coming here and doing the factory tour and museum combination. You learn so much, and the experience alone is it's lasts a lifetime.

Parking options include a narrow courtyard for a daily fee or various street parking at different rates nearby. Outside the historic city walls, free parking is available within walking distance to the accommodation.
Nice set of rooms right near the city centre of Ferrara. The rooms are tidy and the is a lot of space. The bathroom is sort clean and comfortable. The kitchen has to be shared with another room and then it needs to be cleaned. The prices are really good for the quality it offers. The WiFi is free and there is usually someone to speak to if you need something.

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

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

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

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

Estense Castle

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Estense Castle, also known as the Castle of San Michele, is a grand 14th-century moated castle in Ferrara, Italy. Originally built for political and military purposes, it later became the residence of the Este family. The castle boasts four impressive towers and holds over six centuries of history within its walls. Visitors can explore lavish private chambers, a chapel, prison, and a museum showcasing precious artworks.
Of all the attractions in Ferrara, the Estense Castle is the most iconic. We visited on a Thursday morning and there were very few other visitors. Our ticket was part of the MyFE card, which is definitely worth purchasing for a few days ( if nothing else it reduces the tourist tax. We paid just over €25 euros for a 6 day pass. The castle is most impressive from the exterior., however unlike some castles I have visited in Italy it has a good degree of information and exhibits as you go round. Dont expect to wizz round, it seemed like a labyrinth, and we were there for about 2 hours. The Lions Tower is about 112 steps, not too bad compared to many towers Ive climbed. Obviously there not as tall, you still had a good view over the old town. When we visited (June 2025) The visit finished qith an exhibition of photography by Art Kane. Hands up, I had never heard if the guy, but if you are person of a certain age (like myself) you could help but recognise many of his iconic images. The icing on the cake were the Andy Worhols. The exhibition runs until September and is definitely an added bonus. You can visit the courtyard for free and there were at least 3 entrances across the moat. The tourist office is also located in the courtyard. Ferrara is a definitely not a tourist town as such and can therefore be enjoyed without too much hussle and bussle. On the other hand it is most certainly a working town and unlike many of the more famous historic centres is a mixture of old and new, and lacks a bit of charm as a result. The towns historical sites are a little far apart, walkable, but given it was 35 degrees plus the week we stayed seemed a little too far on occasions. Overall we really enjoyed the castle and would highly recommend it.

Palladian Basilica

The Palladian Basilica, a 16th-century masterpiece designed by the renowned architect Palladio, is a cultural hub in Vicenza. The building underwent renovations in 2012 and is surrounded by grand aristocratic palaces like Loggia del Capitaniato and Palazzo Chiericati. Visitors can explore the nearby Casa Pigafetta and the iconic Rotonda villa, both designed by Palladio.
An architectural marvel that embodies the brilliance of Andrea Palladio; with its striking façade and harmonious proportions, the basilica stands as a testament to Renaissance ingenuity. Inside, visitors are welcomed by elegant arches and massive interior that enhances the building's grandeur. Serving as a vibrant cultural center, it hosts various events and exhibitions that enrich the local community. A visit here is a must for anyone seeking to admire the beauty of classical architecture and experience the heart of Vicenza's rich history.

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

The Basilica Palladiana is Vicenza’s architectural showstopper—and heck, its best selfie spot. It’s history in haute couture: elegant, bold, and endlessly influential. Marvel at its facades, sip on the rooftop, and let the limestone loggias whisper stories of civic pride and Renaissance flair into your soul. Renaissance done right, darling.
Mira E — Google review
Palladian Basilica is a building that tries very hard to impress. Columns, arches, everything is decorous and noble, just like “an architectural classic for a textbook”. But, to be honest, don’t expect revelations inside: it’s more like a huge stone hint that they once knew how to build beautifully and on a grand scale here. Palladian Basilica is a classic of the genre: architectural grandeur plus a modern bonus in the form of a ticket office at the entrance. Yes, yes, Andrea Palladio probably dreamed that his creation would be perceived centuries later as “another expense item on vacation”. It’s beautiful inside, no doubt, but you feel like you’re not in a temple of architecture, but in a “pay-and-see” museum. As a result, you get a symbiosis: the spirit of the Renaissance and a light aroma of commerce. Well, art also wants to eat.

Olympic Theater

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Olympic Theater, also known as Teatro Olimpico, is a historic landmark in Vicenza, Europe's first covered theater built in the 16th century. Commissioned by the Olympic Academy, it was designed to host performances and intellectual debates. The theater consists of three rooms with impressive frescoes dating back to 1647 and original oil lamps from 1585 on display.
A stunning architectural marvel and the oldest surviving Renaissance theatre in the world. Designed by Andrea Palladio, its intricate facade and impressive perspective scenery create a breathtaking atmosphere that transports visitors back in time. The interior is equally enchanting, with beautifully crafted details that showcase the artistry of the era. However, it's important to note that access to the stage and background is not included with the ticket purchase, which may disappoint some visitors eager to explore beyond the audience experience. Nonetheless, the theatre's historical significance and aesthetic appeal make it a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture and the performing arts.
E P — Google review
Very impressive theater. The tour through the museum lasts about 15-30 minutes depending on how much you want to read. If there’s a concert or something similar while you’re staying in Vicenza, I recommend booking a ticket to experience the theater in action. During summer it’s very hot (there‘s no AC).
Celina B — Google review
We saw a Bach concert that suited this Andrea Palladio masterpiece theatre very well. As it’s a protected building only few changes have been made and we didn’t see any bar, but didn’t miss it either as there was no intermission. The seats are quite uncomfortable but acceptable in a heritage building like this one. The play with spatial illusions makes the scene very dramatic and special.
Ville H — Google review
It may be over 400 years old but the Teatro Olimpico remains stunning and immensely practical. The stage set including the streets laid out in perfect perspective must have added to the theatrical experience and captivated and enthralled audiences. You can't go on the stage so you have to make do with a scale model made from Lego to appreciate the technique. Pure genius from the master classical architect Palladio. We bought the Vicenza Silver Card for free admission to four of the top tourist sites. This is one of the best.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Nice castle to visit. They have restored many items in museum style to watch. Beautiful rooms, paintings, wall and ceiling paintings. We had to wait in a long row to buy tickets. It’s probably worth it to buy your tickets online.

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 .

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Lago di Braies is absolutely breathtaking! The crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by majestic mountains looks like something out of a postcard.

We were very satisfied with our stay at this ski resort! The number of slopes and the variety of difficulty levels mean that everyone can find something for themselves – both beginners and more advanced skiers. The organization is top-notch, and the queues for the lifts are really short, which significantly improves the comfort of using the resort. A big plus is the free parking right next to the lift – we never had trouble finding a spot. The views are breathtaking!

Stubaier Gletscher: A Glacier Adventure for the Whole Family We visited the Stubaier Gletscher in February during our ski vacation, and we were truly impressed by the stunning scenery and the variety of activities offered. As a family with two children (14 and 10 years old), we were looking for a destination that would cater to everyone's needs, and the Stubaier Gletscher proved to be the perfect choice. Pros: * Spectacular Scenery: The glacier offers breathtaking views, with snow-capped peaks and picturesque valleys. The kids were mesmerized by the beauty of the place and took countless photos. * Variety of Slopes: The ski area is extensive and diverse, with slopes for all skill levels. Both the children and us, the adults, found slopes that suited us perfectly. * Modern Lift Facilities: The cable cars and ski lifts are modern and fast, which significantly reduced waiting times. * Activities for Children: Stubaier Gletscher is an ideal place for families with children. There's a dedicated children's area with easy slopes and snow games. We also participated in a snowshoeing excursion, which was a memorable experience for everyone. * Snow Quality: Due to the high altitude, the snow quality is excellent, even at the end of the season. * Facilities: There are many restaurants and places where you can warm up and have a hot tea. * Proximity to Innsbruck: The glacier is located just a 45-minute drive from Innsbruck, making it easily accessible. Cons: * Crowds: During peak season, the slopes can get crowded, which can reduce the enjoyment of skiing. * Limited Challenging Slopes: Experienced skiers might find the selection of difficult slopes limited. * Altitude: The high altitude can cause health problems for some people, especially in the first few days. Recommendations for Families * Plan your vacation in advance and book accommodation and ski passes online to take advantage of discounts. * Check the weather forecast before you leave and prepare with appropriate clothing. * Consider renting ski equipment on site to avoid transporting it from Romania. * Take advantage of the activities offered for children, such as the dedicated children's area and snowshoeing excursions. * Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. * Make sure that you have travel medical insurance. Conclusion: Stubaier Gletscher is an excellent ski destination for families. The spectacular scenery, variety of slopes, and activities for children make this place an ideal choice for a memorable winter vacation.

The Stubai Glacier, located in the Austrian Tyrol, is one of the most reliable ski destinations in the Alps, known for its long season and excellent snow conditions. As Austria's largest glacier ski area, it offers skiing from October to June, making it a top choice for early and late-season skiing. With over 35 runs and 65 kilometers of slopes, the resort caters to all levels—from beginners to advanced skiers. The wide glacier pistes are perfect for carving, while off-piste opportunities and the Snowpark Stubai Zoo attract freeriders and freestyle enthusiasts. The lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, with the 3S Eisgratbahn gondola providing a fast and scenic ride up the mountain. Stubai is also family-friendly, offering a dedicated children's area and ski school. The views from the top, especially from the "Top of Tyrol" viewing platform at 3,210 meters, are breathtaking, stretching across the Alps. On-mountain dining is solid, with traditional Tyrolean options available at several cozy huts. The nearby town of Neustift offers a range of accommodations and après-ski options, though nightlife is generally quieter than larger resorts. Overall, Stubai Glacier was a fascinating experience that I recommend to all. It is a fantastic all-around resort, especially for those seeking reliable snow and scenic high-altitude skiing.

Phenomenal skiing/boarding setup. Loads of lifts, central rest areas, variety of slopes. 10/10.

We went to the glacier on the third week of November. Not much snow overall, but ski-able on the top levels, not enough on the lowest levels. Ski slopes was good, could be slight better but acceptable. These days with uncertain snow levels and temperatures this will change from year to year and the time you visit We only visited the large served restaurant that offered quick service and good food. We will be back.. PS. hope the ski shop at the parking kept our ski sticks we forgot the last day

Beginning of season review - 2025. The snow conditions were very challenging: little snow and a lot of ice, very hard to enjoy this even for experienced skiers. What's worse is that were a lot of rocks on the slope which did some damage to our skis. There are a lot of blue runs which felt more like reds. The restaurants have very little space so we had to constantly eat outside even when it was snowing and windy. The place is beautiful though but I wouldn't recommend to go here in the beginning of season.

Went here on a whim with my boy and we are skiing noobs. Staff was helpful and we found the place very easy to navigate. The ski rental place was mad professional and they hooked us up with everything we needed and we spent the day progressing through the bunny hills. Views were immaculate and vibes were fire 🔥 10/10

Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Reinbach Waterfalls, located in the Parco Naturale Vedrette di Ries-Aurina in South Tyrol, offer a stunning natural spectacle. The waterfalls are accessible via short hiking trails through a scenic forest, allowing visitors to witness the dramatic cascades of the high-flowing river. The surrounding Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park provides opportunities for holiday activities such as hikes, visits to the visitor center, and tours to the waterfalls.
Very nice, easy hike of 50 mins. You can park in the closest parking for 10 euros, and P3 which is 10 minutes away is for free. We went sunday around 12, and there were still places. There are 3 waterfalls, first one is 20 mins, second another 15 mins and the last around 10 mins.

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

Golden Roof

Mentioned on 
+117 other lists 
Historical landmark
Museums
The Golden Roof is a renowned Gothic oriel in Innsbruck, adorned with 2657 fire-gilt copper tiles that give it its name. Originally built for Emperor Maximilian and his wife to observe events below, it now houses a museum chronicling Innsbruck's history. The exterior is particularly impressive, featuring murals and intricate designs, while the museum offers an insightful look into the city's past.
The Goldenes Dachl or Golden Roof is a landmark structure located in the Old Town part of Innsbruck, Austria. It is a famous plaza of the city. This was completed in 1500 century. It was decorated with 2,000 plus copper tiles for the Emperor at that time. The Emperor and his wife used the balcony to observe festivals, tournaments, dancing, and other events that took place in the plaza below. Up to this day, the plaza is being used for basking, dancing, and events. It's us a nice walk around the plaza with the varieties of shops.

The golden roof of Innsbruck is a fun little thing to see and is in a beautiful part of the old town. There’s lots of good shopping and restaurants around here that make for a fun outing or a good walk from your hotel. It’s worth seeing this too since it’s an iconic part of Innsbruck.

The Golden Roof in Innsbruck is a captivating sight! Its shimmering gold tiles make it a stunning backdrop for photos, especially under sunlight. A perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and soaking in the historic charm of the old town. A must-visit for unforgettable memories.

A beautiful city with stunning mountain views. The cityscape is always set against a backdrop of mountains, which makes it truly picturesque. Everything is very charming, with plenty of restaurants and shops all around.
Yigal R — Google review
The Golden Roof is Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, a late Gothic balcony built in 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles. It’s an impressive piece of history and a symbol of the city, though the small size can feel a bit underwhelming compared to its fame. Worth a look while wandering the Old Town, especially for the historical significance, but don’t expect a grand spectacle.
E P — Google review
The Golden Roof is a landmark located in the old town. It is the most famous symbol of the city. The roof, completed in 1500, was decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza. The emperor and his wife watched various events from the balcony. Unfortunately, due to the height, it is not possible to see the details more clearly.
Bogdan M — Google review
The entry to the museum is free with the Innsbruck card. So I went in to take a look... It wasn't much. But provided some relief from the scorching sun. You have to go upstairs.
JY T — Google review
Each building on the street is so defined and colorful that you can almost miss this one with the golden roof built for the Emperor so he could view the street and tournaments. Nevertheless it’s gorgeous. There’s a small museum inside but I didn’t go in. There is so much to see on the street across from this Goldenes Dachl that you become distracted with the sheer art that these two streets are.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Mountain cable car
Transportation
Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! The Nordkette Cable Car is like riding straight into a postcard. 🚡 You start right in the heart of Innsbruck, glide up on the Hungerburg funicular, hop on the Seegrubenbahn, and before you know it you’re soaring over alpine meadows and jagged peaks. The final stretch to Hafelekar feels like you’re being lifted to the edge of the sky — and the views at the top? Absolutely jaw-dropping. 🌍✨ The ride itself is smooth, the cabins are clean, and the staff are friendly. Pro tip: go on a clear day — you’ll see the whole city spread out below and snow-capped peaks stretching forever. Bring a camera and a jacket, because even in summer it’s chilly at the top! Whether you want to hike, snap a million photos, or just sip a drink with the most epic backdrop imaginable, this is a must-do in Innsbruck. Worth every cent and then some.
Ashley C — Google review
Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.

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

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

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

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

Krimml Waterfalls

Mentioned on 
24 lists 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Krimml Waterfalls, the tallest waterfall in Europe, cascades 380 meters down a forested mountainside and offers a picturesque walking path. The well-known waterfall trail provides stunning views of the rushing waters as visitors descend on the opposite side of the falls. Along this path, there are viewing balconies offering fantastic vantage points.
Worth visiting, and the entrance fee is not expensive (€9 for adults, half that for children). Although the trail is well maintained, I recommend wearing good sneakers and a waterproof jacket, as you will definitely get wet if you want to see the waterfall up close from the viewing terraces. It’s definitely worth going a few kilometers further to the mountain lodge, where they serve excellent food at reasonable prices.
Ivana V — Google review
The waterfalls were beautiful, but the hike itself is quite challenging, with only steep paths. Along the way there are several viewpoints where you can enjoy stunning views of the falls, but the view from the top was actually a bit disappointing. Reaching the top is more about the feeling of accomplishment than the view itself. It’s a very touristy spot, with several nice souvenir shops to browse.
Larissa V — Google review
A beautiful place worth visiting, suitable for young and old, but you should wear heavy clothes because the weather is cold. Although it was July, the weather was still quite cold, and I recommend wearing a waterproof jacket and comfortable athletic shoes.

One of the best activities to do in that area, the entrance was easy either by cash or card automatic machines, the hike is clean but not easy, the slopes are harsh in some places so better ready. Keep moving and you’ll find yourself in an ooen space with the sound of the waterfalls sit relax and enjoy
Hassan M — Google review
Breathtaking waterfall with amazing views at every level. Well-marked trails, fresh alpine air, and the sound of rushing water make it unforgettable. A must-see in Austria! Entry 9 euro per person and 🅿️ also payable and easy to allocate near the entrance 🅿️ 4&5
Besho A — Google review
On our journey from Sell am See to Tirol we took the scenic mountain pass to stop off at Europe’s largest waterfall. Despite being height of summer season we could still easily park and make our way to the falls. The route is well made. No need for walking boots. We didn’t get all the way to the top - we stopped at about half way. Some great photos of the fall and the landscape.

Partnachklamm

Mentioned on 
+46 other lists 
Nature & Parks
Hiking area
Partnachklamm, located in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, is a narrow and picturesque gorge featuring waterfalls and a walkway, making it a popular destination for hikers. During winter, torch hiking tours are available in the area, offering an exciting way to experience the beauty of the gorge. The 703m long and 80m high Alpine wonder provides breathtaking views of spraying waterfalls, rapids, and calm basins.
A Must-Visit for Nature Lovers! 💚🏞️ Partnachklamm is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited — truly a wonder created by nature. If you ever get the chance, this place is an absolute must-visit! I wish I could go there again. The whole experience feels magical. The stunning gorge, the flowing river, and the natural ambience — it’s honestly hard to describe in words. You’ll be walking along the riverbanks, and much of the path runs through tunnels where it feels like it’s raining inside. It’s such a unique and refreshing feeling. A quick tip: If you can handle the cold, it’s better to wear shorts or something you can easily fold up. The pathway can get wet, and your clothes might get dirty by the time you exit the gorge. But if you’re sensitive to cold, make sure to carry a jacket with you. If you love nature, adventure, and breathtaking views, you’re definitely going to love this place!
Little A — Google review
A must visit for all people who like walking though nature. This place is amazing and so beautiful. U walk through it and wonder how nature works and see that if u leave nature to itself it does amazing things. People with wheelchair, strollers and people with walking handicap will have a hard time walking though here. Also when u go through the gorge is good to have a flash light, waterproof clothing and hiking booth.
Mary L — Google review
Beautiful experience! The Partnachklamm is very well maintained and easy to follow, with clear paths and a nicely mapped route through the gorge. It’s a relatively easy hike. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but the scenery more than makes up for it. After exiting the gorge, there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from if you’d like to continue exploring. Highly recommended!
Andrej I — Google review
Amazing place, gorgeous. Nature is impressive and the power of water is very obvious here. Some parts are rather dark though, so maybe bring a torch or just use your mobile phone for lighting. The paths are narrow in some parts but seeing that there wasn't too much going on, it was not a problem. I can imagine that it might be bothersome on busy day.
Caughtbyfantasy — Google review
Visiting Partnachklamm – Beautiful, But Overpriced Partnachklamm (Partnach Gorge) is undeniably a natural wonder and a must-see if you're in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. The gorge is stunning, with its narrow passageways, towering limestone walls, and the sound of rushing water echoing through the canyon. It's an impressive display of raw natural beauty that photographers and nature-lovers will absolutely appreciate. However, the experience does come with a downside: the entrance fee. At €10 per adult (as of 2025), it feels steep for what is essentially a short, 700-meter walk through the gorge. While the path is well-maintained and safety measures are clearly in place, the high price doesn’t quite match the duration or complexity of the attraction. There's no guided experience included, and facilities are fairly basic. If you're traveling with a family or on a budget, the cost can add up quickly. It would be more reasonable if the ticket included access to nearby trails or some additional interpretive content about the geology and history of the gorge. In short: Pros: Stunning scenery, unique experience, easily accessible. Cons: Short walk, crowded during peak hours, and overpriced for what you get. Worth visiting once, especially if you've never seen a gorge like this before — but be prepared to pay more than you'd expect for a brief nature walk.
Virgiele C — Google review
It’s a beauty. Observing the gorge and the surrounding was a very nice adventure. Obviously it might get a bit crowded especially on the weekends but the beauty wouldn’t allow anything to interfere. There is also a very nice hike route right after the gorge. Totally recommend.
Ali — Google review
Amazing experience walking along the catwalk and carved path through this glacial slot canyon! The water is clear and tinted ice-blue, rushing, and slicing through space that seems only a few feet wide, while you walk through cavernous tunnels and under overhangs. And then, coming out the other side, you get to walk back above and over it all! What a fun hike!! Just be prepared for some steep walking with good shoes, water, and a flashlight for those dark sections!
Brian B — Google review
Very beautiful gorge. Absolutely worth the entry price. Expect to get some drops of water as you go. It was pretty busy on a Friday morning. The walk above the gorge on the way back is really picturesque too.

Kloster Andechs

Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Andechs Monastery, also known as Kloster Andechs in German, is a hilltop Benedictine monastery and church that has been a center of pilgrimage for centuries. The monastery is renowned not only for its spiritual significance but also for its brewery, which produces some of the finest beer in Germany. Pilgrims flock to the monastery not just for prayer, but also to enjoy the famous beer served in the outdoor beer garden that can accommodate over 3,000 people.
An amazing place that blends Medieval atmosphere with traditional Bavarian feel. I deeply appreciated the chance to pay homage to the great composer Carl Orff. Unique brewery and wonderful food. Live music by highbrow Baverian orchestras. One of the ladies at the souvenir shop can be quite cranky though, if she needs to handle more than three. souvenir items at a time :)
Cagri E — Google review
The reception staff behind the Wallfahrtskirche were very helpful. I was able to obtain some Klein Geld for the Wohnmobilstellplatz here. They could however not explain why the Chapel of Sorrows and Carl Orff shrine were locked shut! Said it never closes! At least 20 people were disappointed.
Lyndhurst — Google review
Its a whole experience even getting here, including an hour or so hike, but so very worth it. Our hike was beautiful, fall colors everywhere. The pilgrimage church is stunning, the scenery in the Bavarian hills is breathtaking, and the beer is some of the best we had in Germany. If you're staying in Munich or the surrounding area, you should go.
