Musée océanographique de Monaco

Mentioned on 
+71 other lists 
Museum
Aquarium
Perched dramatically on a cliffside, the Musee Oceanographique de Monaco was established by Prince Albert I and has been captivating visitors since 1910. The museum boasts an impressive aquarium featuring 6000 specimens, including sharks, tropical fish, and Mediterranean species housed in ninety tanks. It serves as a tribute to the prince's contributions to oceanography and marine biology. Additionally, visitors can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Monaco and the Mediterranean from the rooftop terrace.
I highly recommend visiting the Monaco Oceanographic Museum. The building has five levels in total (including the ground floor and terrace), but the two highlights are Floor -2 and Floor +1. Floor -2 (Aquariums): This is where you’ll find the aquariums, the main attraction for both adults and children. It’s a must-see. Floor +1 (Exhibits): This floor houses fascinating exhibits about oceanography, exploration, and history. Adults will find them engaging, though children may lose interest quickly. For families, a good strategy is to let the kids enjoy the aquariums first while you take time to explore the museum-style exhibits upstairs without rushing. A visit takes a minimum of 2 hours, with 3 hours being ideal. Anything longer might feel overwhelming, so if you want to dive deeper into all the details and information panels, it’s worth considering a second visit. Other floors are less essential: Floor -1: Mostly empty. Ground floor (0): Entrance, gift shop, and a stunning conference hall that looks more like a palace. Terrace (+2): Offers beautiful views but not a major highlight compared to the main exhibits. Overall, the museum is an enriching experience, especially if you focus on the two key levels.

Is this place awesome? Yes. Is it worth the entry price? Maybe. Would I go again? No. Let me clarify. If you've got kids, it's DEFINITELY worth it. Otherwise there's other things to do / see that are more amazing. What it's got is a nice restaurant terrace with a kids playground. And an awesome function room that we spend some time just sitting. Otherwise it's just good, but not great.
Petrut I — Google review
Beautiful and well curated. The aquarium part is well kept, with interesting information about the fish and other creatures kept in the tanks. It is not too big, but with its focus on the Mediterranean, it covered a lot of species. The exhibit part was very interesting and organised, and much better than what I would expect from what I thought would be an aquarium. The 2050 exhibit was positive and engaging, and I left feeling hopeful (in contrast to the usual feeling of helplessness against climate change). The view from the terrace is beautiful.
Caroline M — Google review
A must do visit in Monaco, with or without children. The building itself was very impressive. However the displays were amazing. The exhibition was incredibly well done and very entertaining. The view from the rooftop with its restaurant and cafe was amazing.
Clare — Google review
The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is an extraordinary place where science, history, and beauty come together. The building itself is stunning, perched dramatically on the cliff above the sea. Inside, the aquariums are vibrant and full of marine life, from colorful tropical fish to impressive sharks. Exhibits are educational and fascinating, making it perfect for both adults and children. The rooftop terrace offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean
Gabriele D — Google review
The Musée Océanographique de Monaco is not just a museum — it’s a journey through science, history and beauty. Its majestic architecture, fascinating exhibits and spectacular Mediterranean views make it one of the must-see landmarks in Europe. A visit here doesn’t just teach you about the ocean — it makes you feel part of it. 🌊✨
Dascalu C — Google review
A fascinating museum in a beautiful location overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. This museum is also home to the Monaco Oceanographic Institute and highlights the country's commitment to ocean conservation. The upper floors have exhibits about the history of oceanographic research and current Mediterranean undersea exploration. The lower floors contain an aquarium and marine life exhibits. I really enjoyed learning about the progression of ocean research technology and techniques used to study the ocean. I also liked the immersive undersea exploration experience on display when I visited. If you love ocean and/or city views, be sure to visit the rooftop, where you can get 360° views of Monaco and the Mediterranean. There is also a full restaurant, children's playground, and snack bar on the roof. This was a fun museum with something for people of all ages. The only downside was that I don't think the museum has air conditioning. I visited on a warm April day, as it was uncomfortably warm inside. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket booth next to the front door, no reservation needed. You can also buy a combo ticket which includes the Prince's Palace for a discounted rate.

One of the most beautiful museums in Europe! On the very edge of a steep cliff, carved into stone overlooking the ocean. Very modern and well kept with exhibitions ranging from polar ice explorations and skeletons of blue whales to the history of Monaco. Definitely a must visit if you go to Monaco! We did not buy tickets in advance nor did we wait, visited in July!

The Casino de Monte-Carlo is an elegant Beaux-Arts building that has gained fame through its appearances in film and literature. It offers upscale casino gaming, including blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and slot machines. The casino is housed in a stunningly majestic 1800s building with turrets and cupolas that give it the appearance of a palace.
Words don’t do this place justice. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the architecture and internal design on the ceilings. Honestly it gets better the further in you explore. We opted to get a Casino ticket to have a look around and had a bit of fun on the slot machines. I just couldn’t stop looking up at the ceiling. The designs are honestly beautiful. It’s definitely worth seeing if you like a visual feast.

It is a lovely and well decorated place. Yet, they have a 20€ entry fee which is completely ridiculous. They trade on their reputation. I have been to dozens of casinos in different parts of the world that have fine art, beautul decor, and they welcome you without a tourist fee. There are lots of slot machines which definitely detract from the ambiance. The views in Monte Carlos lovely.

I only spend few minutes in front and got what I came for. Many nice cars passing around ! Just be careful not to block them and be respectful. The casino is also very beautiful from the outside, I haven’t tried my luck to go in.

A famous casino where many luxury cars are often parked in the plaza. To enter the main lobby, there’s a simple bag check. Inside, you’ll find a service counter — appropriate attire, a passport, and the minimum exchange amount for chips are required to enter the casino. The souvenir shop inside the lobby is also worth a visit. Good luck. 🎰

An absolutely fantastic experience — full of taste, elegance and refinement. The Casino de Monte-Carlo is a true masterpiece of architecture, both iconic and unique. Having the chance to see it from the inside was a real privilege — the luxurious details, the majestic halls, and the historical atmosphere make it unforgettable. By night, the enchanting illumination adds a magical touch, turning the entire place into a scene straight out of a movie. A perfect blend of class, culture and sophistication.

It definitely lives up to the hype of being one of the fanciest places on the planet. Its everything you want it to be.......glamorous and pretentious all at the same time. The building itself is a work of art. Being here will make you feel like your in a james bond movies. Entrance is 20 American dollars. The gift shop is also luxurious with many gifts in the thousands of dollars. This is the nicest Casino I have and will ever step foot in

🌟 5-Star Review 🌟 By Rocco & Emma What a hidden gem in the heart of Barolo! 🍷 The Museo del Vino , exceeded all our expectations.

The atmosphere is magical—authentic yet elegant, with breathtaking views of the vineyards. 22 wine tasting price from €2 to € 10 A must-visit for anyone in love with wine, history, or simply the beauty of Italian culture. Thank you for a truly unforgettable afternoon.

Was a really interesting museum. A modern twist on wine history and leans more toward the cultural significance than the actual process of producing. Plenty to keep kids interested as well. Bonus it’s in the castle!

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

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk ... but it could be so much better. 4 years after the storm that had destroyed it in several places and still to be finished 👏. Total absence of benches along the way 😢 I don't find it very hospitable. The worst thing is the lack of distinction between the pedestrian and the cycling path ... leaving the latter free to run anywhere without respecting pedestrians. Very dangerous. The landscape pays off but as usual ... unfinished !!! 🤬 (Original) Una bellissima passeggiata... ma potrebbe essere molto meglio. A 4 anni dalla mareggiata che l'aveva distrutta in più punti e ancora da finire 👏. Totale assenza di panchine durante il percorso 😢 non lo trovo molto ospitale. La cosa peggiore è la mancanza di distinzione fra il percorso pedonale e quello ciclistico... Lasciando libertà a questi ultimi di correre ovunque senza rispettare i pedoni. Molto pericoloso. Il paesaggio ripaga ma come al solito... incompiuta!!! 🤬

(Translated by Google) The walk deserves 5 stars. It's a really nice place to walk, beautiful beaches and fantastic view.. But to be honest, something could be improved. Along the way there are very few benches, and being the walk itself quite long and without much shade, this could be a problem. There is also no bicycle lane, which can lead to collisions between cyclists and pedestrians. (Original) La passeggiata merita 5 stelle. È un posto davvero piacevole per passeggiare, spiagge stupende e vista fantastica.. Però, ad essere sinceri, qualcosa si potrebbe ottimizzare. Durante il percorso ci sono davvero poche panchine, ed essendo la passeggiata in se abbastanza lunga e senza molta ombra, ciò potrebbe essere un problema. Inoltre non esiste un pista per biciclette, il ché può provocare scontri tra ciclisti e pedoni.

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

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

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

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

Acquario di Genova

Mentioned on 
+74 other lists 
Aquarium
Nature & Parks
The Aquarium of Genoa is a remarkable destination located in the historic Porto Antico, an area that has undergone significant transformation over the centuries. Once a bustling hub for maritime activities, this waterfront locale was revitalized during the 1992 Expo through the visionary work of architect Renzo Piano. The aquarium showcases an impressive array of marine and freshwater species within its thoughtfully designed aquatic ecosystem display tanks, making it a must-visit attraction for nature enthusiasts and families alike.
Visiting the Aquarium of Genoa was a truly unforgettable experience. We were deeply impressed by the incredible variety of marine species on display—from colorful tropical fish and majestic sharks to playful dolphins and graceful jellyfish. Each exhibit was beautifully curated, allowing us to admire the unique beauty of every creature up close. The interior spaces were thoughtfully designed and remarkably immersive, making us feel as though we were walking through an underwater world. Everything was clean, well-organized, and visually stunning. The attention to detail in both the habitats and the educational displays added so much value to the visit. Overall, the Acquario di Genova exceeded our expectations. It's not just a place for children or marine enthusiasts—it's a breathtaking experience for anyone who appreciates nature's beauty. Highly recommended!

The places does impress the wanderers due to its vastness and abundance of various exotic expostinions. There are many interesting acquariums including both commonly known sea critters as well as even more interesting unpopular ones. If it's not enough for you, don't worry! There are a handful of beautifully recreated biomes containing the richness of coral reefs, raw desert enviroments full with beautifull animals as well as huge pool with eager to play dolphins within.

I love visiting aquariums. My favorite places among the aquariums I've visited so far are L’Oceanogràfic Valencia, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium and Moskvarium. This aquarium Genoa is quite small but it's easy to visit location for tourists and jellyfish tanks were lovely. I visited there during the winter off-season and there was no line so I am not sure if it was necessary to buy the on-line entrance ticket in advance.
Adam — Google review
This city is unique, special, and legendary. Although there are a lot of immigrants who create problems of cleanliness and also other kind. This aquarium is very large and interesting. It took about 2 hours to fully explord it. There are many species of marine animals here. It is always interesting to look at them and at the same time read information about them. And a large hall with a huge panoramic glass wall, through which you can see dolphins swimming underwater, was the realization of a child's dream. Sitting there, listening to the soothing music and looking at this magnificence was incomparable. Many people believe that the price of entering an aquarium is high. Maybe that's true.
Kakha K — Google review
We LOVED IT, this aquarium is huge and has some sea life I haven’t seen in US. We love aquariums, you can’t go wrong. Our daughter loves the jellyfish and some cool snakes in there Husband said the manatees were amazing and large variety of sea life and frogs. When you start you are on the bottom level and you go through the whole bottom level… then you go upstairs and see everything upstairs but also have a view of sharks and other animals you saw downstairs and upstairs is best for pictures of the dolphins and sharks - for me. There is also an area you can touch some sea life.
Jenny I — Google review
Really enjoyed the aquarium! It is quite busy as one wood expect but it flows pretty well out and back. Lots of different species of marine life to see from all over the world. Buy tickets in advance to avoid lining up twice and beware all the people outside trying to sell/force stuff into your hands.
Jeffrey T — Google review
Great place to visit for all ages. It’s a beautiful aquarium that has everything you would expect. The heating is terrible and it is hot if you go in the summer. The animals are very active and seem to be taken care of well. If in the area, it is worth your time to visit.
Justin Y — Google review
Thoughtfully curated exhibits and environments such as Amazon, Lake Malawi, corals in addition to cetaceans, penguins, seals, sharks. Although the tanks and holding areas are quite large, it is sad to see the mammals and large fish confined. Dark tunnels add to the anticipation. Children will enjoy the touch tank area. Cafe, gift shops. Commentaries in Italian and English.

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

Sentiero Monterosso - Vernazza

Mentioned on

Hiking Trails
The Sentiero Monterosso - Vernazza is a popular and picturesque hiking trail that connects the Cinque Terre, offering stunning ocean views and lush landscapes. One of its highlights is a famous lookout point near Vernazza, known for its Instagram-worthy scenery. While a Cinque Terre Trekking Card is required during the hiking season, it may not always be enforced.
It was absolutely beautiful. It did take 1-2 hours and the stairs are quite the workout. Definitely have to stop and catch your breath from how much you climb up and down but if you love a good hike with gorgeous views I definitely recommend this. Some of the pathway is pretty narrow so be careful! Also, if you hike when it's hot, bring a swimsuit and jump into the water at Vernazza or Monterosso, it feels MAGICAL.
Laura P — Google review
We walked from Vernazza to Monterosso. It took about an hour and a half. The first half hour, in particular, is quite tiring and challenging; you're walking uphill. There are beautiful views along the way. There's no way to refill your water bottle along the way, so stock up on water beforehand.
Mehmet A — Google review
Please take cat food with you - lots if possible!!!!!! There is a cat village and a designated area to leave food so people can feed them over time. It is up to us to feed these homeless cats. Walked this trail today and to my surprise, there was a few homeless cats who are in a small gated area with cat houses and a sign that states something along the lines of “homeless and unloved cats, please feed” …there was no food there and they looked quite skinny. If you are planning to walk this trail, please bring a bag of cat food, maybe some wet cans (not tin, they can cut their tongue on those), water… whatever you can. If I had known this going into the hike, I would’ve brought it. I’m not sure what the deal is with any caretakers for the cats but it would be nice to have a sign or something prior to starting the trail to let people know there are cats along the way, so people can purchase food before going up…. Lots of people were very upset to see the cats there with no food and there’s nothing to do about it at that point… it is mid-trail and nothing around. Otherwise, it is very uphill so be very prepared - but the sights are well worth it!
Kelsie G — Google review
Pro tip: apparently you need a Cinque Terre pass to enter but everyone was passing through just to check the views and then come back. This is where you'll take the best photo of Vernazza. The start is just on the side of a restaurant, to the left you'll see a narrow street.
Sidónio S — Google review
3.6 km, about 2h walk. It tooked us 2h15 with a big break at a bar about 1km away from Monterosso, the only one along the way. Lots of steps, but pretty easy to walk with good shoes... And the viens are so worth it !
Emma — Google review
This is a very strenuous trail with 800 ft of elevation. It was quite difficult with many stairs on both the accent a decent. We’re in our 30s and 40s and it took us about two hours with several stops for photos and the drink water. The terrain is treacherous at times. Make sure you wear the appropriate shoes with tread and waterproofing if possible as it is very muddy in some areas. The views and experience is absolutely worth it though!
Brianna M — Google review
Very beautiful hike. WARNING for anyone that wants to do this hike but isn’t a seasoned hiker: start from Vernazza and go towards Monterosso!! I started from Monterosso and it was a LOT of steep stairs & uphill. I read a review from someone on here who talked about having to climb up on all fours… while I didn’t get to that level I DEFINITELY was feeling that review to my core 😂😭 If I were to do it again, I would start from Vernazza. It’s doable both ways, but know that it will be more difficult if you start from Monterosso. The views will be beautiful & the same whichever town you start from. I had to take a lot of breaks, but many people (both old & young) did the same so I didn’t feel too left out. I recommend you do the hike early in the morning or towards late afternoon, that way you can have a little bit of a breeze and it’s not constantly hot. For reference, we did the hike with a lot of breezes and I STILL had my shirt drenched with sweat. If it is rainy, be careful!! Wear appropriate shoes for that. We did it while it was sunny & dry but there were many areas that were slip-potential. Also, you can access the viewpoint of the Vernazza background for picture-taking WITHOUT having to hike. I have included a picture so you know which viewpoint I’m talking about.
Deniz N — Google review
Beautiful hike! Definitely lots of stairs, which worked up quite a sweat in the heat. Views were totally worth it. Also, there was a small cat community (with little cat houses) that lives along the hike route close to Vernazza. A sign asks visitors to bring cat food/water because they have no owners. Really sweet cats!

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Rivalta Castle, located just outside of Piacenza in the medieval hamlet of Rivalta-Trebbia, is a privately owned castle that offers tours of its historic rooms and artifacts. The castle, which has a history dating back 1500 years, sits on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River and provides stunning views.
This hotel is very nice and worked well for us since we were traveling on a motorcycle. It rained for the few days we stayed so having the restaurant and lounge on site meant we didn't get wet trying to find a meal or a drink. You can tour the old castle but you will need to book in advance if you need an English guide. Tour packages start at 14 euro person and 35 euro for the English guide that lasts an hour and a half then the tours go up in price and substance after that. If there is one thing I did find quite disappointing was for the price we paid to stay the breakfast was very limited and plain. So if you want quaint and romantic this place is nice. If you're on a budget but are thinking of spending some extra cash to stay here I would say search around the area then come sightseeing. Safe Travels

Getting caught up on reviews/pics from out trip to Italy in May/June 2024. What an amazing castle! The owner/family still lives there, but has opened the castle for tours. The history of the castle goes back some 1500 years. It’s on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River, in the province of Piacenza, Italy. Many of the rooms in the castle are “as is”… as they have been for centuries. So much history there, from prisoners to royal guests from all over Europe. It really is a very cool place to visit, good for families as well!
Jim N — Google review
Would be a great trip but if you are not Italian, the tour guides are extremely inhospitable and rude. They do not try to hide their xenophobia. In certain rooms they refuse to speak anything but Italian, and they will not make eye contact with anyone who does not. We were dismissed quickly and the visit was not worth the money. I agree with other reviews, the staff make this a must-miss and unpleasant experience.
Sara C — Google review
This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.

It was a great opportunity to visit what still stands of an old castle. Tons of stairs to get to the top. Not a real lot to see. But glad I did it. Not for anyone with issues with heights. I was lucky to do this when no one else was in the building. If you are pressed for time may be worth just checking out the town instead.
Amy M — Google review
Came here to spend a few hours, to see the castle and the other sights and some walk. The whole small medieval town is a sight for itself. We parked down in the village and walk the hill up to the castle. Beautiful buildings and architecture all the way up. And on top of course the castle, the tower and many other sights. As well as a small park with some nice views. The town dates back to the 8th Century, but it believed to be even older. The castle itself (the "Borgo") was build in 1342, while the nearby church "Santa Maria Assunta" dates back to the 11th Century. Then there's the Palazzo del Podestà and the Bell tower and other notable buildings up there in the castle area. It was also the filming location of "Ladyhawke" starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. We came here on a sunday, there were some visitors, but we expected a lot more, free parking available down in the village as well. A really wonderful old town worth visiting. We didn't expect much, since we really didn't know much about the place, but were really impressed by this beautiful town.

Open air museum
Nature & Parks
Labirinto della Masone is an innovative destination in Parma, featuring an open-air topiary maze and an opulent art gallery. The Palazzo della Pilotta houses the National Gallery, Farnese Theatre, and Duomo, offering a cultural experience. Visitors can enjoy the labyrinth and art museum, as well as climb the tower for panoramic views. The bamboo maze provides a unique experience but can be challenging to navigate without a map.
This place is very impressive, such a nice day trip to enjoy. It is very well organized, clean, neat with beautiful design as it is belong to the greatest F.M.R. and also the lovely restaurant there. Love everything that we saw today, worth for €20.

An incredible and unique place – a true cinematic experience The Labirinto is unlike anything I’ve seen before. It’s an extraordinary place that evokes new sensations and emotions from the moment you enter. The entire setting feels otherworldly – refined, almost dreamlike – and is enriched by a remarkable art collection featuring rare and carefully selected pieces. Temporary exhibitions are just as thoughtful and well-curated, perfectly reflecting the vision and legacy of the founder, the iconic publisher behind it all. The experience is complete with a charming café and boutique area, offering a moment of pleasant relaxation in the midst of such inspiration. Absolutely worth the visit.

If the artwork in these photos makes you laugh or disgusted (as some visitors felt compelled to let me know), don't waste your time, don't come here. If you think they're amazing, that's the place for you!

Labirinto della Masone near Parma is a must-visit, despite limited transportation—opt for a taxi or rental car for the 20-minute trip from the city center. The world’s largest bamboo maze, designed by Franco Maria Ricci, is uniquely captivating, blending nature and intrigue for a serene, unforgettable adventure. You won’t find its equal anywhere else. The adjacent art museum is equally impressive, showcasing Ricci’s eclectic collection of over 500 works, from surreal portraits to abstract oddities. While some pieces feel bizarre without clear meaning, they spark curiosity and dialogue. The sleek galleries enhance the experience.

We were around the area and wanted to checkout the maze. The maze is nice, completely green and a nice walk around find the way out. The museum was a pleasant surprise. I loved the art mainly the costumes were amazing. Overall a great couple of hours. They also have a nice bar and a restaurant just to dine if you want.

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

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

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

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

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

Tower of Pisa

Mentioned on

Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The Tower of Pisa, also known as Torre Pendente di Pisa, is a stunning 14th-century structure in Italy that has gained worldwide fame for its distinctive lean. The tower originally leaned at a dramatic angle of 5.5 degrees but extensive restoration work has reduced the lean to less than 4.0 degrees.
This was an amazing experience as one of the marvels of the world. To see this building leaning in its original form after centuries as it stands. The site has been well preserved. The line to go up the top was relatively short for an attraction in Italy. During the winter when I came the weather is cool in the morning but perfect by midday especially to stand in lines.
Cheryl J — Google review
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic and fascinating landmarks in the world a true symbol of Italy’s charm and history. Seeing it in person is an incredible experience; its famous tilt is even more striking and impressive than photos can capture. The white marble gleams beautifully under the sun, and the detailed Romanesque architecture is simply stunning. Climbing to the top is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend the spiral staircase, you can actually feel the tower’s tilt, which adds a sense of adventure and wonder. Once at the top, the panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape is breathtaking. The tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), surrounded by other magnificent monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery, all of which are worth exploring. The area has a lively, joyful atmosphere with cafés, souvenir shops, and green lawns perfect for photos and relaxing. Whether you come for history, architecture, or just the fun of taking the classic “holding up the tower” photo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa never disappoints. It’s a place full of charm, beauty, and a sense of wonder that makes every visit truly special.

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

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

Before I went to visit, I thought it would be overrated, old and uninteresting, but when I got there, I was completely wowed! The tower and surrounding buildings have been maintained in such a pristine way that they look like they were built last week. For a building that is over 850 years old, it sure has aged well. The scale and lean of the tower is unbelievable and cannot be felt from pictures. This is a must visit when you are in Italy. It is truly a majestic sight.
M4l2K T — Google review
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an absolute blast to visit! Seeing it in person is way more impressive than any photo, and the tilt is even more dramatic up close. The best part? Getting creative with photos! We had so much fun “holding it up,” pretending to push it over, leaning against it, or even putting it in an ice cream cone — endless silly opportunities for memories and laughs. The surrounding Piazza dei Miracoli is beautiful too, with the cathedral and baptistery making the perfect backdrop. Even just walking around and soaking in the architecture is a treat. Tip: bring your camera and a playful attitude — it’s all about the fun angles and perspective tricks. Crowds can get busy, so a little patience helps to get your perfect shot. Visiting the Leaning Tower isn’t just sightseeing — it’s a joyful, hands-on experience that’s perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a little photo fun. Definitely one of the most memorable stops in Italy!

Iconic- such an amazing view. I loved this place but so crowded. I would recommend visiting the museum next to the tower of Pisa to get an amazing view with minimal people spoiling your photos. Also there is a restaurant in this museum and you get a stunning view. Recommend climbing the tower of Pisa that was amazing make sure you are willing to climb as can be tiring. Trainers recommended for the climb.
J — Google review
Had a lovely time here. The tower itself has a beautiful view when you're at the top. The steps are slippery tho so be careful aspecially when walking back down. The cathedral is gorgeous also on the inside. We bought tickets that included entree to all buildings and museums and also walked the walls of pisa all the way (which was quite long). Definitely recommend visiting and also going inside.

Torrechiara Castle

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Hiking area
Located in the municipality of Langhirano in Parma, Italy, the Castle of Torrechiara is a 15th-century fortress known for its impressive architecture and historical significance. Originally rebuilt by Count Pier Maria Rossi between 1448 and 1460, it served as both a defensive structure and a secluded residence for the count and his lover Bianca Pellegrini.
Castello di Torrechiara is the kind of castle that makes your jaw drop before you've even stepped inside. Perched high above the Parma Valley, its honey-colored stone walls, perfectly preserved towers, and commanding views feel lifted straight from a Renaissance painting. The setting is cinematic, and the approach alone is worth the visit. Inside, the castle continues to impress with beautifully frescoed rooms, especially the famous Camera d'Oro-a stunning tribute to courtly love, lined with golden light and richly symbolic detail. The blend of military architecture and romantic art is something truly unique. You can feel the story of Pier Maria Rossi and Bianca Pellegrini lingering in every corner. Whether you're here for the history, the art, or just the breathtaking views of vineyards and hills rolling into the distance, Torrechiara delivers on every front. It's one of the most captivating castles in Italy, and absolutely worth the journey to see it in person."
E P — Google review
Castello di Torrechiara is incredible. Built in the 1400s by Pier Maria Rossi as both a fortress and a love story for Bianca Pellegrini, it has been beautifully preserved. Walking through the frescoed halls and the famous Golden Chamber is a real highlight. The tour lasts about 45 minutes to an hour which is just the right amount of time to take it all in. What makes the visit even better is the small village that sits right on the castle property up the hill. There is a restaurant, wine tasting, and a few places to relax, and it feels like stepping back into another time. The combination of the castle and the little hamlet makes this well worth the drive from Parma and a perfect way to spend part of the day.

Beautiful and well-maintained castle on top of a hill. Its walls and buildings are amazing and it has beautiful views on the countryside. The interior has some great rooms with great affresco. The €8 entry fee is quite worth it. Do note there a very small parking at the top, but it’s for just a few cars. The main parking is at the bottom of the small hill and you need to walk ~7 minutes uphill to reach it. Worth a visit!

Stunning looking castle with beautiful frescoes internally, rich in history. Also lovely views of the surrounding countryside and there’s a lovely medieval village nearby with a restaurant and shops selling local produce - ham, cheese, wine and more. We did a fascinating 45 minute guided tour in Italian - which cost 5 euros each - with a very good guide called Giacomo.

This famous fortress/castle is just south of Parma near the river Parma. Can park at the base and walk up or there is room for a few cars at the top. Outside the castle walls proper is a little medieval village with some cafe and maybe a shop or two. 5 eur entry to the castle, which is currently undergoing a renovation in some rooms. Definitely check it out. It's a stunning and unique castle.

Matt W — Google review
Castello di Torrechiara, perched atop a hill in the Parma valley near Langhirano, is an evocative blend of medieval strength and Renaissance elegance. The castle was constructed between 1448 and 1460 by Pier Maria Rossi, a prominent nobleman and military leader, as both a defensive fortress and a romantic residence for his beloved Bianca Pellegrini. Its location was originally strategic, commanding sweeping views over the Parma river and the rolling hills embroidered with vineyards, but today it serves as a breathtaking panoramic backdrop for visitors. The castle’s architecture is striking, with four imposing towers connected by double walls adorned with battlements. At its heart lies the Cortile d’Onore, a grand courtyard that now hosts cultural events and summer performances. The interiors, while largely unfurnished, are richly decorated with frescoes. The most famous is the Camera d’Oro, or Golden Chamber, where scenes celebrate the love between Pier Maria and Bianca, depicted in a cycle of frescoes attributed to Benedetto Bembo. These artworks are considered among the finest examples of Renaissance bedchamber decoration in Italy. Exploring the castle, visitors can admire a series of halls and rooms featuring grotesque, naturalistic, and fantastical motifs. The patrol walkways and underground dungeons, occasionally open to the public, offer a glimpse into the castle’s defensive past. Castello di Torrechiara is not only a monument to military architecture but also a testament to enduring romance and artistic achievement. Its accessibility from Parma makes it a popular day trip, and the surrounding countryside, famed for its food and wine, adds to the allure. The castle stands out as one of Emilia-Romagna’s most beautiful and well-preserved fortresses, offering visitors a captivating journey through history, art, and legend. The adjacent medieval village, nestled within the castle’s outer walls, retains its original layout and provides a charming setting for a stroll.

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

Great little theme park, lots of rides for younger children but a few good thrill rides too. Almost no queues for virtually every ride makes the whole experience so much better than most theme parks and the staff generally very friendly as well.

They were incredibly efficient, getting everyone through quickly even during a busy period, and answered all our questions with a smile. We really appreciated their excellent customer service and positive energy. There are a lot of rides and entertainment to choose from. The Jurassic River ride is spectacular! We also appreciated the picnic area and the alley with the misting system, which made us feel so refreshed on ascorching summer day.

Great for young kids and families. Loads of rides of different intensity but hardly any queues in October. A couple of shows. Recommend bringing your own food and leaving it in the picnic area. No-one will touch it and you'll save a ton of money. The only water fountain with drinkable water is near the entrance so plan to go back there a few times during the day.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Translated by Google) Piazza dei Priori, with its cluster of noble palaces, is evidence of Volterra's rich medieval heritage. It is dominated by the towering Palazzo dei Priori (1208), the oldest town hall in Tuscany, and is said to have been modeled after Florence's Palazzo Vecchio. Although the clock tower and battlements were later remodeled, the building looks like a typical Tuscan town hall. Weather permitting, it's worth climbing to the top of the bell tower for a panoramic view of the city. Across the square stands the 13th-century Palazzo Pretorio, with its battlemented Torre del Porcellino (Little Pig Tower), so named for its decorative relief of a wild boar. (Original) Piazza dei Priori, ze swoim skupiskiem szlacheckich pałaców, to dowód na bogate średniowieczne dziedzictwo Volterry. Dominuje nad nim wyniosły Palazzo dei Priori (1208), najstarszy ratusz miejski w Toskanii, na którym podobno wzorowano florencki Palazzo Vecchio. Chociaż wieża zegarowa i krenelaże zostały później przemodelowane, budynek ten wygląda jak typowy toskański ratusz. Jeśli dopisze pogoda, warto wspiąć się na szczyt dzwonnicy, aby zobaczyć rozciągający się z jej szczytu widok na miasto. Po drugiej stronie placu stoi XIII-wieczny Palazzo Pretorio, z krenelażową Torre del Porcellino (Wieżą Małej Świnki), nazwanej tak ze względu na swój dekoracyjny relief z dzikiem.

(Translated by Google) The building is undeniably beautiful from the outside, but the €10 ticket inside is the biggest rip-off I've ever seen. €10 to see two rooms currently used by the municipality, climb the stairs, and find art there without any infamy or glory, without any description. If you go, just look at it from the outside. It should be free. (Original) Il palazzo è indiscutibilmente bello da fuori ma la visita all'interno per 10€ di biglietto è la più grande fregatura che abbia mai visto. 10€ per vedere 2 stanze attualmente usate ancora dalla municipalità, salire le scale e trovare dell'arte messa lì senza infamia e senza gloria, senza alcuna descrizione. Se ci andate guardatelo da fuori e basta. Dovrebbe essere gratuito

Museum
Specialty Museums
Museum Ferrari Maranello is an interactive museum featuring exhibitions, films, and a racing simulator dedicated to the iconic sports car. Galleria Ferrari, the official exhibition center for the history of Ferrari, showcases the evolution of Formula One engines and highlights Shell's contribution to Scuderia Ferrari's success. The museum also hosts a parade of 499Ps through the town center and offers insights into Enzo Ferrari's life at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.
If you are into car, then this is absolutely a MUST SEE place to go. There are actually 2 museums in Modena, and we went to the smaller one first, but this much larger museum is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and it was WAY more than I or my wife was expecting. I had no idea that it was as big as it is, and can't recommend it enough. There are even interactive displays that you can pay extra for if you want to do them. Definitely go, if you're in the area. It's worth every penny...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wow, what a wonderfully unique and electic castle. Fabulous design and wonderful trompe l'oeil. Definitely a dream brought to life. You have to join a tour - you cannot just wandering through the castle at your own pace, because it's a bit of a maze. However, we were given plenty of opportunity to photograph the rooms and views (stunning!) Our tour was in Italian, but our fabulous guide Alexandra translated key points for us, and there are information boards/signs in every room, explaining key points. Highly recommended!

It’s an interesting tour, especially if Alessandra is your guide! She makes the whole visit a great experience. Keep in mind you need to book in advance, and it is open only during the weekends (at least for now).

Very beautiful, but it is 5 of 7 days in week closed.. and now there is reconstruction, so not that beautiful at all. :)

Our guide, Alessandra, was amazing. In our group we were the only ones (four of us) who didn't speak Italian and she took the time to explain things in English after speaking in Italian to the rest of the group. She had great energy and clearly loves her job. The castle is a visual treat, and quite lovely. Thanks Alessandra for making our day a memorable one!

Authentic castle from the period of 19th century. 🏰 Rocchetta Mattei is like something out of a fantasy novel—an eclectic, whimsical castle nestled in the Apennine Mountains of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It’s not just a feast for the eyes, but a place steeped in eccentric history and curious science. 🌟 Highlights of the Castle - Architectural Mash-Up: The castle blends styles from Medieval, Gothic, Moorish, and Art Nouveau traditions. Think turrets, mosaics, and labyrinthine staircases that make every corner feel like a new discovery. - Count Cesare Mattei: The mastermind behind the castle, Mattei was a self-taught physician and inventor of electrohomeopathy, a controversial medical practice. He laid the first stone in 1850 and lived there like a medieval noble, complete with a court jester. - Famous Visitors: The castle attracted royalty and intellectuals from across Europe, including Ludwig III of Bavaria and Alexander II of Russia. Even Dostoevsky mentioned Mattei in The Brothers Karamazov. 🛠️ Restoration & Rebirth - After WWII, the castle fell into disrepair. It was later revived thanks to local efforts and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Bologna, reopening to the public in 2015. - Today, it’s managed by the Comune di Grizzana Morandi and hosts guided tours, concerts, weddings, and cultural events. 📍 Visiting Tips - Booking is mandatory due to the castle’s maze-like layout and guided tour format. - It’s about a 45-minute drive from Bologna, making it a perfect day trip. - Nearby gems include the village of La Scola, the Church of Santa Maria Assunta by Alvar Aalto, and the Giorgio Morandi Home Museum. If you ever get the chance to visit, it’s not just a castle—it’s a storybook come to life.

Found it while browsing places to visit in the area. We arrived there without reservation, but the lady at the ticket shop squeezed us into a tour with only 15min waiting time - thanks for that! The castle itself is very picturesc, with sometimes unbelievable amounts of details to discover. We enjoyed the stay a lot!
