Unfortunately, the Park Office was shut, and finding information on the walks was difficult. It seems local knowledge is required, which is tricky for a visiting Australian. I'm not sure why there are brown bears kept captive here either. The scenery and wildflowers were magnificent, as was the food at the cafe!

Friendly staff, nice park with beautiful places to picnic, play and chill BUT the two enclosures are way to small, especially the one for the bears. Just sad to see those wild animals (actually solitary) in that tiny cage. You have the space, why not use it? Make it 30times the size and it would be barely enough. Shame

.ost of the facilities were closed when we visited in early May.

A place when you can feel calm and zen.In the forest is a zoo with bears(u must pay ticket)

Perfect place to reset energy and spirit. Nice little local restaurants around the whole area, friendly employees.. it’s a dreamy spot ! Highly recommend to anyone who can appreciate nature

Lovely park with wild animals and nice walks.

Very beautiful natural park for family in the core of garfgnana

I came here on a school trip with my class . very beautiful place and good for walking

Fortezza itself it is not very big and/or impressive but it has nice view. You have to pay 8/4 € to get in. There is a small cafe with good coffee and some variety of sweet&savory snacks. Nice service.

This beautiful Medieval fort has reopened, a historical place to visit. Thank you to the staff for the fun, info-packed tour. We hope more people, children, families will come to enjoy.

What an amazing place. Staff dressed in character costume and a lovely, authentic museum showing what it would have been like to live here back in the day. The staff showed us how the trebuchet worked (don’t worry about health & safety, as long as no one stands in the target area 100yds away, it’ll be ok). Loved every minute of our visit. Run by the community so please support them with a visit. Extremely reasonable entry cost.

Beautiful and well restored medieval fortress, right at the top of a rocky mount, with plenty of attractions and interesting guided tour. Well worth the trip. Ideal for children and grown ups.

Brilliant place. Walked from the activity centre ..about 30 minutes. Various activities for kids and the views are amazing! Need to plan times if using miniature railway for last section of walk up.

Great views of the lands the castle used to protect

Renowned and very popular. Fewer real bargains this year..few leather purses, but plenty of clothes, shoes, belts, linens. Inner row of vendors is more shaded and cooler!

I love Forte dei Marmi, since the first time I visited this beach side area around 5 years ago. Clean, luxury, safe and elegant are suitable words to describe this place. A must visit when you are in Versiglia area.

Crazy deals even on brand names.....look for cashmere and linen and belts at bargain prices. Get there before 9:30!

Not a place for me, also quite expensive. But for someone else it might be interesting.

You will wish you forgot your wallet home.. but shopping here and just walking the streets is an experience for it selves. After that find a small coffee shop and enjoy a little Italian espresso... You will need it!

Nice season market with many things to see & buy.

A very uniq market because it provides good fashion goods at cheap prices

Great place, they have good security. Seems a bit expensive and they limit you with time and that won't even get you to all if the activities.

I love it because there are many trails of varying levels of difficulty, including a couple of very challenging ones for those who are well trained. Kids and beginners also have plenty of options to get the right level of challenge and have fun. Recommended!

Amazing, escape from the heat in the wood & mountains… we all had so much fun, this park has a lot to offer for all ages!

Not worth travelling to. Out of the way and they do not update their website when they are closed. Drive over an hour to find a note at the entrance that they are closed for the day.

Kids loved playing and climbing in the trees. Reasonable value too

Very nice variety of climbing tracks for adults, super diverse options in the playground for younger kids. We had a wonderful day.

The park is big and well equipped. I found the ticket a bit pricey.

Stunning! The beach is beautiful. The pier allows you to see a sunset close up.

Beautiful anytime any season, especially off-season

it's really small and narrow, shorter and smaller and uglier than the one in Marina Di Pietrasanta. At the end, there's a water fountain, which we let run for 5-6 minutes at around 4pm, but it was boiling hot the whole time.

Beautiful pier. Great spot for pictures.

Very nice beach but a bit expensive.

It's a gorgeous place to spend an evening enjoying the sea. Usually during weekdays there are not many people therefore you can sit in one of the seats and have lunch or take pictures or simply read a book. It's a quiet place and every once in a while there are fishers. During the weekends it's full of people and it's difficult to enjoy

Beautiful view on the open sea.

One of my favourite places..a fairies' place

Wow

(Original) Laghetto che ci si arriva facendo un 700m a piedi au una larga strada sterrata chiusa al traffico. Posto tranquillo adatto a chi piace la pace e tranquillità

(Translated by Google) Enchanting place where you can take a stroll around the lake with a very simple path suitable for everyone or otherwise take on slightly more challenging but beautiful paths such as the one that leads to the bivouac. (Original) Posto incantevole in cui poter fare un giretto per il lago con un percorso semplicissimo adatto a tutti o altrimenti intraprendere percorsi un po' più impegnativi ma bellissimi come ad esempio quello che porta al bivacco.

(Translated by Google) A very relaxing place, suitable for everyone, surrounded by nature, and easy to get to. Park your car in the valley and walk to the lake in 10-15 minutes. There's also a mountain hut where you can grab a bite to eat. The selection isn't extensive, but the food is good. (Original) Posto molto rilassante, adatto a tutti, immerso nella natura, facile da arrivarci. Si parcheggia la macchina a valle e in 10/15 minuti di cammino si arriva al lago. C'è anche un rifugio dove mangiare qualcosa. La scelta non è ampia ma il cibo è buono.

Great for beginners young and old. Not to difficult but there are quite some steps to and in the cave. We took the Proteus tour with audio guide as we don't speak Italian. For our 8 year old hard to follow, and we translated to our native language (Flemish) which was sometimes a bit of a struggle to get the terms right. The cave was well lit and features some big halls and long corridors. Afterwards there's a viewpoint you can visit with archaeological findings.

Interesting place to visit, very informative guide who speaks very good English. You must book in advance. Beware of steep and narrow stairways though. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Equity Terme is a wondrous space, flora, fauna, hot springs and the Kaste caves. A geographical treat steeped in history.

Great experience and lots of information about the cave by the guide. We also did the zipline and that was fantastic! We loved it!

I would like to write a review of this experience but due to the unwillingness of the people who are in charge there, we could not go to the caves. First we had to have an online reservation then there had to be at least 5 persons to subscribe to the tour. When there were 5 people at 17.00 o'clock we couldn't go because "the girl" just closed the cash-register!! The lady telling all this went with us inside the 'museum' smoking all the time. I find it staggering that these persons are allowed to treat people this way. Very disappointing!

Majestic. Parts of walkways closed possibly due to rain . Caves closed but still a very pleasant stroll and some lovely views.

The local team is nice and gentle, ready to entertain guests of all ages. The caves are rather small and limited but the area is really unique. If you do some hiking it would get better. Info some of the activities are closed, you have to book largely in advance, and they are uselessly paranoid about covid rules.

Wonderful butcher and shop selling local products. Here you can find various types of meat, of all cuts and size. It is also possible to grill the meat directly on the spot by accessing a large and well-kept garden. There are grills and barbecues, tables, benches... in short, everything you need to enjoy an excellent outdoor lunch, based on meat. Also the wine is really enjoyable.

Amazing experience for BBQ lovers.

Amazing spot with local products, proffessional and personal approach, and to top it off, the bbqs in their garden where you can cook up all that good stuff from the store. Wow.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've only been living in Italy for close to 15 years, so maybe I misunderstood... But since I was speaking in English with my wife, the guy said €29 for the oil in Italian to his colleague, my wife didn't hear, and then he said €39 to her (we paid it and left)... Kinda a tourist trap...

Super!

Wonderful place for a nice afternoon!! We love it!!!

Simply the best for meat lovers!

Great place, you can have a beautiful view over the sea and port. And, you can enjoy a cold glass of wife and a light snack on top.

Beautiful landmark of Lerici. Very nice views and nice areas of the fortress. There is no waiting to enter. However, the premises are empty and lack any interesting exhibition illustrating the origin and history of the fortress and the surrounding area. There are a few (3) screens, but they don't draw the eye.

Lerici is for sure one of the underated place of Italy. This is an fantastic place. Extremely beautiful and tourist friendly. The view from the castle is simply amazing and breathtaking. The port is filled with little boats. On the city streets you can find lots and lots of fantastic restaurants with authentic italian taste- family owned ones with care and love for food. Definitely recommend it. Bonus: the sand of the little beach is simply great.

Good views with benches to sit at. Pretty reasonable entrance price.

Beautiful medival castle that sits on the top of the hill. Totally worth visiting if you are in Lerici. From there you have a stunning view of the city and overlooking the Gulf of Poets

Stunning views from the top galleries. Entrance is €5, there are QR codes for the Italian and English audio guide in every room (take your headphones with you). The only small disappointment was that there was no exhibition and all glass-boxes for the exhibits were empty.

Gorgeous sea view back Bella

Unfortunately didn't get enough time to complete the walk around the island. Being October the ferry times were not as often as it would have been in the summer or spring. Definitely will come back.

I like this island very much. The ferry boat takes people to Terrizzo but the rest of the island is not crowded. Palmaria is quiet and it has got fantastic views on Portovenere and the surrounding sea. The trekking around the island is nice and relaxing. There are goats walking free on the paths..they have horns but don't be scared, they are nice!

Nice island to park near by boat

Mediterranean little island

Great place to visit while in the region of the Cinque Terra.

Amazing giro isola. About 2 hours for complete round.

Terrible service, rude and not worth the money..

Some really amazing climbing routes here. Well worth a visit. Some of the 5s are a little polished but a great place to work on slightly overhanging 6s and 7s.

One of the most scenic places I visited while in Italy. There many trails to walk. The trails were not overcrowded.

Beautiful landscape - we cruised with the motor bike it's been awesome. Not to speed to enjoy the countryside. New impressions after every turn of the road. And there are lots of turns. So fun biking in a beautiful area and almost no traffic.

Best part of the the region! Quieter, calmer and stunning scenery! If you visit the area make this your priority! And the best way to travel is of course by boat from La Spezia!

What a beautiful parc. It’s absolutely worth visit it. The best way to visit it is by boat. The islands are super nice. Some very special history. There are companies where you can rent a boat to see the beautiful spots. I advice to take a local guide. They know the rich history of this area.

Beautiful area!! If you have time, I’d highly recommend hiking from Riomaggiore to Portovenere. It was one of the most beautiful and interesting hikes in the area! Hiking down into Portovenere afforded you TONS of spectacular sceneries. There was also a cute cafe along the trail (before you hike down to Campiglia) where you could get coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, and various sweets. We went in early October and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. You can’t miss this area! If you get into Portovenere early enough, you can catch the ferry back! If you end up missing it, you can simply take the bus to La Spezia and catch the train back.

Wonderful Island, one day is not enough. Park Your car in Portovenere, take good shoes and backpack, hit the ferry, walk uphill and enjoy...!!!

It is a smalk nice castle but was closed when we arrived. It seels you can only visit it at fixed hours with guide

Mmmm

Ok

Beautiful and suggestive

(Translated by Google) We organized a guided tour while the children were busy hunting for Easter eggs inside the castle, another wonderful initiative that was very well organized and fun. The structure of the building is very beautiful, well maintained, with also a beautiful view of the Val Ceno from the top floor. A little bare inside of furnishings and objects of the time, but it is absolutely rewarded by the fantastic guide who with his tales and stories makes you imagine everything and transports you back to medieval times. Definitely recommended for the tour of the castles of Parma. (Original) Abbiamo organizzato una visita guidata nel mentre i bambini erano impegnati alla caccia alle uova pasquali all’interno del castello, altra bellissima iniziativa organizzata molto bene e divertente. La struttura dell’edificio molto bella, ben tenuta, con anche una vista dall’ultimo piano bellissima sulla Val Ceno. Un po’ spoglio internamente di arredi, di oggetti del tempo, ma viene assolutamente ricompensato dalla fantastica guida che con i suoi racconti e storie fa immaginare tutto e trasporta nel tempo medievale. Consigliato sicuramente per il giro dei castelli del Parmense.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful afternoon experience with a guide in period clothing (THANKS MARCO!) for a trip inside an impregnable medieval defensive castle. Very kind and well-prepared guide entertaining the visit with stories and anecdotes that were never boring and with interesting points for comparison. Large and well-kept castle with few furnishings or internal frescoes being a defensive structure but full of practical solutions to be impregnable. €6 to enter (better to call to book a visit) and I point out free parking (no blue lines or parking disc) in front of the castle entrance also for motorcycles. Highly recommended and a real discovery on a par with the most famous castles in the area. (Original) Bellissima esperienza pomeridiana con guida in abiti d'epoca (GRAZIE MARCO!) per un viaggio dentro un castello difensivo medievale inespugnabile. Guida gentilissima e molto preparata intrattenendo la visita con storie e aneddoti mai noiosi e con spunti interessanti di confronto. Castello grande e ben tenuto con pochi arredi o affreschi interni essendo una struttura difensiva ma ricca di soluzioni pratiche per essere non espugnabile. 6€ per entrare (meglio telefonare per prenotare visita) e segnalo parcheggio gratis (no righe blu o disco orario) davanti all'ingresso del castello anche per le moto. Consigliatissimo e una vera scoperta al pari dei castelli più famosi in zona.

(Translated by Google) Visit carried out on Saturday afternoon on a splendid sunny afternoon. A good and engaging guide, the castle has much greater potential than it can show today. Obviously the costs to renovate and maintain a castle are very significant for the Municipality that manages it. For those passing through Varano it is certainly a highly recommended stop (Original) Visita effettuata sabato pomeriggio in uno splendido pomeriggio di sole. Guida brava e coinvolgente, il castello ha un potenziale ben più ampio di quello che oggi può mostrare. Ovviamente i costi per ristrutturare e manutenere un castello sono assai significativi per il Comune che lo ha in gestione. Per chi passa da Varano è senz'altro una tappa super suggerita

We decided to walk around the town and we ended up at a tunnel that ran under the castle and brought you to an elevator. That brought us to the castle and we walked around the outside. Very beautiful and very well kept area. It was $7 each but we were a bit early since it didn't open until ten so we just walked around the castle and slowly back towards town. There were many little hidden gems of streets and small bridges. It was a really nice walk and finished it off with stopping in the square for a cappuccino and gelato.

The castle hosts a very interesting museum on megalithic sculptures of the ancient inhabitants of the Lungian region: definetly worth a visit!

It is a genuine experience of a medieval castle with videos explaining the stele statues. With wonderful views across the town and the surrounding countryside. There is a lift at the end of via Garibaldi by Porta Parma for anyone who cannot face the challenge of the walk.

Don't listen to the person that wrote not to take the lift. The lift is free. Entrance to the castle is €2 and if you want to also visit the museum, then it's €8 total. Well worth a visit. The view is fab. Come during Medievalis... it's great fun.

Great location. The castle was restored, it's scenic but sadly empty. It hosts a display of menhir statues found in the Lunigiana area and dating back to the Bronze age/iron age 5000 years ago - fascinating monuments that guarded crossroads or river crossings. The menhirs are beautiful and the display inside the museum is scenic with great lighting. By entering the museum you will also get to go on the castle's ramparts, beautiful view over Pontremoli. Pity most of the so-called multimedia material are videos in Italian. Foreign visitors should ask for a discount IMHO

Beautiful decor. Waiter very attentive.

I loved visiting the castle while touring Pontremoli! Our tour guide Marco was so knowledgeable and pleasant, in fact he told us there was also the possibility to sleep there and a week later we came back and stayed the night!!!! One of the best and exciting experiences ever!!!! The rooms were clean and so were the shared bathrooms! We had the keys to the castle since they lock it at 7:30!! It is illuminated so beautifully at night and you are able to explore it all!! This experience is suitable for all ages and we were even allowed to bring our dog! Some rooms fit up to 20 people

Very Interesting. I loved it. They have video displays in French, Italian and English and a lot of these wonderful statues. All of this is displayed in a castle that is interesting in and of itself.

Magnificent pre roman experience!

OMG, this is amazing!!!! Do yourself a favour and go to visit this gem! Marvellous, easy for the family with kids! Well Done

You can really discover history of Lunigiana's territory. Kind staff also :)

(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise. A truly beautiful and well-preserved collection of stele statues. Well set up with lights that highlight the stonework. Interesting videos that accompany the museum tour, explaining the contents of the museum in a clear and detailed way. The ticket allows you to visit both the museum and the castle. Absolutely worth the visit. (Original) Una piacevole sorpresa. Una collezione di statue stele davvero molto bella e ben conservata. Ben allestita con luci che mettono in risalto la lavorazione della pietra. Video interessanti che accompagnano il percorso museale, spiegando in modo chiaro e dettagliato il contenuto del museo. Il biglietto consente la visita sia al museo che al castello. Merita assolutamente la visita.

(Translated by Google) The museum is located in the Pignaro castle, reachable by a walk or by elevator from the historic center. It does not contain many finds, but well selected and displayed. There are various interesting films on the history of the place and the statues. The 7 euro ticket gives the right to visit the castle, internally bare but well preserved. (Original) Il museo e ubicato nel castello del Pignaro, raggiungibile con una passeggiata o con ascensore dal centro storico. Non contiene molti reperti, ma ben selezionati ed asposti. Ci sono vari filmati interessanti sulla storia del luogo e delle statue. Il biglietto da 7euro da diritto a visitare il castello, internamente spoglio ma ben conservato.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and enjoyable visit. The museum is well organized, and its location was a pleasant discovery for me. If you're passing through Pontremoli (and I urge you to do so: Pontremoli is a beautiful village... a sort of open-air museum!) (Original) Visita interessante e piacevole. Il museo è ben organizzato e la location in cui è stato istituito è stata per me una piacevole scoperta. Se passate da Pontremoli ( e vi esorto a farlo: Pontremoli è un borgo bellissimo… una sorta di museo a cielo aperto!)

We ended up here after our 7km hike. Cute church in the upper part of the village.

Quite an ornate baroque style church with frescoes on the ceiling, ribbed vaults, spiral columns, statues, stone pulpit with stone carvings, black and white checked tiles on the floor. Beautiful church. Worth your few minutes to visit or sit and reflect.

This is the sleepiest and least interesting town out of the 5 Cinque Terres, but very much worth the visit. No way should you walk up here. It is quite a long way up from the train station. By all means, buy a ticket for the mini bus at the train station.

Nice detailed church I recommend you come if tou visit Corniglia

Beautiful place, but almost seemed eerily alone in its placement. Perhaps it’s the smaller size of the town...

Small church in the heart of Corniglia. Like every town of the Cinque Terre, you will find its local church that you can visit.

Marvelous church, probably the best one I have seen across all the Cinque Terre. Very small but truly decorated in all its parts. It is accessible only from its front side so do not mind the blocked entrance on its rear side.

Wonderful weel kept Castle. From renovations. to 1800 renovations. Very interesting to see all the indise rooms, kitchen, cold storage, torture room. Eat downtown some very good restaurants.

Impressive medieval castle on a hilltop over a village. It's BIG and just after the holiday season it was almost deserted. We spent an hour or two roaming the ramparts, the many rooms (including a fascinating exhibition of 29th century socialist paintings) - and yes, the torture dungeon as well. We were pleasantly surprised to be left to roam the place on our own accord. The view of the valley from the ramparts is stunning.

Very interesting place with great views on the surroundings of Bardi. They definitely put a lot of interesting things to see inside those historic walls. When we were there a very interesting art exposition took place at the castle, worth to check out the rich programme throughout the year.

Historic and spectacular. Tutti devono andare. Fantastic views, intricate interiors, a treasure of exploration and history in it's passages, chambers, architecture atop a commanding promontory of jasper

We were told that the castle wasn't much to look at. Being our first castle, it was fantastic. The view is incredible. There is a torture chamber. You can almost feel the people being tortured. Great experience. I can't imagine what castles the person who told us this was just ok has visited. This one was well worth the trip.

Wonderful castle with a gorgeous view and multiple things to visit : local craftmanshi museum, hunting museum, princes house, dungeon… and everything is included in the entrance fee. The restauration of the castle is really good (you can visit almost everything) and well suited for little middle aged fans.

Really cool and big castle. I truly recommend you to visit it, have a dinner in the restaurant “Le Due Spade”, buy some meat near the castle in the small meat-shop in the street, which leads you to the castle. And as well i recommend you to meet the sunset. It’s amazing!

Spent two wonderful nights at Castello di Compiano. It’s a bit off the beaten track but well worth the extra effort. The staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was bountiful, and the restaurant served delicious local dishes. They arranged a private tour in English of the castle’s museums. The village of Campiano is charming and this is a perfect jumping off point for visiting some of the other historic castles in the area.

Love this place my wife & I visit every time we’re around which is at least once a year. There’s always something going on and the views are amazing.

Imagine you are in a fairytale. You won't find WiFi in rooms, breakfast is quite poor. But you will definitely enjoy accommodation in this castle. You can also enjoy private romantic room for additional cost. Rooms are clean and convenient, personnel is very friendly. People say it is noisy here. Most probably you need to try staying here in the early October - almost no visitors here this time of year.

The guided tour was incredible, thank you. The castle and views are beautiful, as is the town.

Breathtaking scenery at this small medieval town situated within the fortified walls of the Campiano Castle

one day I will book a room there because the castle was turned into a hotel and looks waesome the bar has a very friendly waitress and the prosecco is excelent

Beautiful place where have a dinner, y got crazy when i visited that place so chill so calm with good treat and nice tasty dishes, breathtaking views. Recommended

Sitting high up on the hill in Montallegro, this is the first thing you see when you arrive via the Cable Car. It's just a short 10 min stroll to the church which is very pretty on the outside and highly decorated on the inside. A little more modern than other churches we have witnessed in surrounding towns and there are many tributes and photographs of loved ones who have past. They also have a gift shop if you feel the need to make a purchase.

We took the Tram up the the church, nice views. Its very peaceful amd you could contunue hiking around the back. There is also a restaurant behind the church. Inside the church locals were lighting candles and the ceilings were painted with bible stories. It seems this church serves as a sort of place of remembrance for deceased members, as silver hearts are hung everywhere. A small room in the back contains a miniature of the Church.

Really mesmerizing. Beautiful pictures, Well maintained. A divine and unique atmosphere to spend some spiritual time . Dedicated to Our Lady of Monteallegro😇 There's a beautiful presipio( christmas crib) And a sanctuary besides, dedicated to St .Joseph and Mother Mary .

Up, up, up (600 mtrs) on dramatic cable car. Walking down, down, down though steep woods (2 hours)

So nice and peaceful place. Im inlove with that incredible view. It’s lovely with cabin car to the top as well. You can go just for a walk and take a breath fresh air

Beautiful place and not busy at all. Nice break from the city and beaches.

Simply beautiful inside and outside, as well as spectacular views of the seaside and mountain landscapes.

Really cool historic bridge with a stunning view. We parked outside the town, just next to the bridge. There's nothing much around, but it was worth the hour drive for us.

Beautiful place, in fact the village has been awarded as the most beautiful village in Italy couple of years back. I fully agree with that! Since we went on Xmas day, there were literally nobody around. The drive through the hill (last 10-15mins of drive) is bit difficult since the width of the road is just enough for one vehicle. But with almost no traffic, seems to be ok. I love to visit the tourist places when it is empty, and I am glad I picked the Xmas day for the visit. There is a restaurant near this bridge, but was closed. The village also was very quite. Just my kind of place!

Amazing medieval bridge below which is an area of river perfect for swimming. Lots of families, my children had a great time swimming about looking at the fish. Some shade under the arches of the bridge, recommend taking a picnic.

Great old bridge that you can walk from(into Bobbio. Also, it's possible to have a swim nearby, or cool your feet off

Historic Bridgestone with nice view. Good for stopover if you are driving through.

This old Roman bridge is worth a stop and walk over. Anyway if you want to take a nice pic you need to get to the other side. It's one if those places you can almost feel the history.

Beautiful bridge

beautiful, but you have to pay to get some light

Very beautiful place to look style médiéval

Wow

(Translated by Google) Bobbio Cathedral dates back to the Romanesque period, built in the late 11th century. The three-nave interior features 15th-century frescoes, particularly the beautiful Annunciation. The simple, austere façade is topped by two bell towers, one of which is truncated. The crypt is dedicated to Saint Anthony Gianelli, bishop of Bobbio in the 19th century, who is buried in a transparent urn beneath the high altar. (Original) La cattedrale di Bobbio risale al periodo romanico, e fu edificata alla fine dell’undicesimo secolo. L'interno, a tre navate, presenta affreschi quattrocenteschi, in particolare la bellissima Annunciazione. La facciata è semplice, austera, ed è chiusa da due torri campanarie, di cui una mozza. La cripta è dedicata a sant'Antonio Gianelli, vescovo di Bobbio nell'ottocento, sepolto in un’urna trasparente collocata sotto l’altare maggiore.

(Translated by Google) Cathedral with beautiful frescoes on the walls and a deep blue ceiling. Behind the high altar, descending a marble staircase leads to a crypt, where you can admire the relics of several bishops who have succeeded one another over the centuries. A must-see if you're passing through Bobbio. (Original) Cattedrale con bellissimi affreschi sulle pareti mentre il soffitto è di colore azzurro intenso. Dietro l'altare maggiore, scendendo una scala con i gradini in marmo, si arriva ad una cripta, dove si possono ammirare le reliquie di alcuni Vescovi che si sono succeduti nell'arco dei secoli. Da visitare assolutamente se passate da Bobbio.

(Translated by Google) Cathedral of Bobbio, its construction dates back to 1040 when Bobbio became the seat of the bishop. The structure is in Romanesque style, but all the posthumous transformations are perceptible. The facade is from the mid-1400s. The visit inside is very pleasant. Noteworthy is the fifteenth-century ceiling that is found in a small room on the right as soon as you enter; and the annunciation also from the fifteenth century that can be found in the small chapel to the right of the main altar. Worth a visit (Original) Cattedrale di Bobbio, la sua costruzione risale al 1040 quando Bobbio divenne sede vescovile. L’impianto è in stile romanico, ma sono percepibili tutte le trasformazioni postume. La facciata è della metà del 1400. La visita al suo interno è molto gradevole. Degni di nota il soffitto quattrocentesco che si trova in una piccola stanza a destra appena entrati; e l’annunciazione sempre quattrocentesca che si può trovare nella piccola cappella a destra dell’altare maggiore. Merita una visita

(Translated by Google) A must-see for anyone visiting the beautiful village of Bobbio. The cathedral dates back to the early decades of the 11th century, with inevitable modifications over the following centuries. The ornate interior also features some beautiful 15th-century paintings, recently discovered and restored. (Original) Sicuramente tappa fondamentale per chi visita il bel borgo di Bobbio. Cattedrale risalente ai primi decenni dell’anno mille con inevitabili modifiche nei secoli successivi. Ricchi gli interni dove sono presenti anche alcuni bei dipinti quattrocenteschi, scoperti e restaurati in epoca recente.

It's a lovely place 😸😸

(Translated by Google) Charming village with a small and human-sized center. Beautiful square on the street with its narrow streets and the main church. Iconic Roman bridge that overlooks the Trebbia river. Festivals and banquets on weekends. (Original) Incantevole borgo con un centro piccolo ed a misura d'uomo. Bella la piazza sulla strada con le sue viette strette e la chiesa principale. Iconico il Ponte romano che sovrasta il fiume Trebbia. Feste e banchetti nel fine settimana.

(Translated by Google) In the picturesque Trebbia Valley, the medieval village of Bobbio is certainly one of the most famous attractions, having been awarded the TCI Orange Flag and named "Borgo dei Borghi" (Borghi of the Villages) in 2019 in a well-known television contest. That said, the goodwill of its administrators in the care and maintenance of its architectural heritage, its cleanliness, and the excellent range of tourist services are also impressive: paid and free parking, shops, restaurants, and hospitality. Worth visiting are the Gobbo (or Devil's) Bridge, the Cathedral and its charming square, the Museum of the Abbey of San Colombano and the church of the same name, and, if you have time, the Castle, the Mazzolini Collection, and the churches (San Lorenzo, Madonna dell'Aiuto). A truly wonderful discovery in a country like ours, which always offers, often on its doorstep, wonderful glimpses of Italy's past. (Original) Nella suggestiva Val Trebbia il borgo medievale di Bobbio è certamente una delle attrazioni di maggior fama, visto peraltro che il paese è stato insignito della Bandiera Arancione del TCI ed eletto Borgo dei Borghi nel 2019 in un noto contest televisivo. Detto ciò, colpisce anche la buona volontà di chi la amministra per la cura e la manutenzione dei beni architettonici, la pulizia e la buona dote di servizi per i turisti: parcheggi a pagamento e non, attività commerciali, ristorative e di ospitalità. Da visitare il Ponte Gobbo (o del Diavolo), il Duomo e la sua graziosa piazza, il Museo dell’Abbazia di S. Colombano e l’omonima chiesa e, avendo tempo, il Castello, la Collezione Mazzolini e le chiese (S. Lorenzo, Madonna dell’Aiuto). Una gran bella scoperta in un Paese, come il nostro, che sa sempre offrire, spesso sotto casa, meravigliosi scorci dell’Italia di un tempo.

The old castle of Rapallo was built around 1200 to protect the town from the pirates. Today is well preserved and sometimes host some art expositions or other events.

I think it’s the most beautiful at night. Located right downtown. As you go about your business in downtown Rapollo you will have many chances to see.

This is the symbol of this fascinating city! I never been inside and I don't think that it's even possible as far as I know. Anyway, it surely emanates charme and provide an amazing photo object. From its stairs, it starts a ~9 Km red carpet that will bring you to Portofino.

Very cute seaside town with a number of good shops & restaurants. There is also a beautiful walk on the promenade. Easy to visit Portofino by means of a ferry.

Beautiful landmark of Rapallo on the Lungomare. It is enchanting to see it day and night time. It was temporarily closed during our stay in Rapallo.

No access to it following storm in Oct 2018. Fabulous views. Small public beach next to it.. Opposite there's a small ice cream bar

Rapalo sightseeing walk

This funicular was recommended by the receptionist in our hotel in Santa Margherita which is only a short bus or train ride from Rapallo. It is a few streets behind the train and bus stations and runs every 30 minutes. Maybe closed between 12.30and 14.30. The view on the way up and down is fantastic and quite high.There is a church to visit.There is also a cafe and 2 restaurants of which one closes at 2.30 and there is a walk to get up it. This is worth a visit just for the ride.

A peaceful and beautiful place to say a prayer. The church is quiet and full of history—really special to visit. Keep in mind: cars stop running from 12:30 to 2:30, so plan your trip around that. Behind the church, there’s a nice shady area with trees—perfect for resting and staying cool on a hot day.

Go for the expansive views and access to the Sentiero del Rio Tuia mountain hiking trail behind the church. The trail is an ancient footpath through a beautiful old growth forest to villages far south of Rapallo. This experience is shaded, cool and serene compared to the tourist congested sea side trails of Cinque Terre. The begining of the trail is paved, it soon becomes rustic so wear hiking shoes or something similar as the surface varies, nonetheless it is an easy hike. Near the church there are two restaurants, each with stunning views of the bay, Portofino and the sea beyond. The church is counter reformation pasticche, though it possess a beautiful fascade, setting and is place of true devotion.

Great morning and at a very good price. Wonderful views before the rain came on the day we went up.

Wonderful views! Enjoyed our round trip passage. Nice restaurant a bit of a walk behind the church.

An interesting attraction in Rapallo. Beautiful views from the cable car. And at the top, a beautiful sanctuary of the Virgin Mary. I recommend it.

Lovely visit to MonteAllegra. Beautiful church on top as well as 2 hotels with restaurants. We went to the highest one. Utterly magnificent views, charming yummy lunch & great friendly service. Highly reccomend

Visited the eco-farm within the park. Our tour guide, Camilla, was amazing. Tour was arranged through Essence of Italy. We had a picnic lunch at the eco-farm with a view that was fabulous.

Beautiful place 😍

What a wonderful world. Italy has many beautiful surprises and this is one. A nice and atypical park with many many great places. The path is well marked and there is a lot of picnic area with tables and views. Sadly there is two drawbacks. The first one is the map indicated on every main signals in the park, indeed the satellite view isn't accurate enough. Secondly there is no place to bivouac. I know there is a shelter but a national park which is close to nature must have a dedicated place to campers. Globally if you have a detour to do to see this park, do it.

amazing experience and place, you should visit!

A magical park area that marries the land, the beautiful ocean and the turquoise sky. Thoroughly recommended to access Portofino from Santa Margherita Ligure. This is a breathtaking experience.

Stunning!

Beautiful ❤️ place for visiting

Very nice and peaceful place

(Translated by Google) Lake Brugneto is artificial and is the main water resource of the city of Genoa. It is located within the Monte Antola Regional Park. The Dam is the starting point of a circular itinerary and also of other excursions. The creation of an artificial lake favored the rapid development of the woods.

(Translated by Google) Lake Brugneto, in the heart of the Trebbia valley, is the large reservoir that supplies the taps of Genoese homes. In the middle of the mountains above the city, Lake Brugneto is the ideal place for those who want to enjoy a beautiful walk immersed in nature a stone's throw from the Ligurian capital. But among those fishing and those enjoying a picnic there are also those who carefully peer into the middle of the lake, looking for the tip of a bell tower. (''LEGEND OF THE COUNTRY no church has ever existed'') Hikers, families on trips, fishermen. Lake Brugneto today is a destination for spring walks for nature-loving Genoese people. About an hour's drive from the Ligurian capital, the lake offers a 13.5 kilometer path along its perimeter, which can be covered in about 6 hours. The route winds at times along the lake shore and at times on the slopes. For the lazy ones, there are some picnic areas to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon. For the more adventurous, however, a beautiful excursion to Monte Antola allows you to enjoy the best view of the lake. For the more curious, however, sharpen your eyes carefully and equip yourself with binoculars. Maybe you will actually be able to see the bell tower.😊 𝓚.𝓢 😊................................💕 (Original) Il lago del Brugneto, nel cuore della val Trebbia, è il grande serbatoio che rifornisce i rubinetti delle case Genovesi. In mezzo ai monti sopra la città, il lago del Brugneto è il luogo ideale per chi vuole godersi una bella passeggiata immerso nella natura a due passi dal capoluogo ligure. Ma tra chi pesca e chi si gode un picnic c’è anche chi scruta con attenzione in mezzo al lago, alla ricerca della punta di un campanile. ( ''LEGGENDA DEL PAESE non è mai esistita nessuna chiesa '' )Escursionisti, famiglie in gita, pescatori. Il lago del Brugneto oggi è meta di passeggiate primaverili per i Genovesi amanti della natura. A circa un’ora di macchina dal capoluogo Ligure, il lago offre un sentiero di 13,5 chilometri, lungo il suo perimetro, percorribile in circa 6 ore. Il percorso si snoda a tratti lungo la riva del lago e a tratti sui pendii. Per i più pigri, sono presenti alcune aree picnic per godersi un bel pomeriggio rilassante. Per i più temerari invece, una bella escursione sul Monte Antola permette di godere della vista migliore sul lago. Per i più curiosi invece, aguzzate bene la vista e munitevi di un binocolo. Magari riuscirete davvero a scorgere il campanile.😊 𝓚.𝓢 😊............................💕
