Nestled in the Brenta group of the Dolomites, Lake Molveno is a stunning alpine lake known for its crystal-clear waters and family-friendly atmosphere. The surrounding area offers a slow but scenic road that leads to the quiet lake resort of Molveno, providing access to frescoed churches, wooded valleys, and the Valle Rendena. The region is well-equipped for families with beaches, gardens, play areas for children, and an aqua park.
A beautiful mountain lake which can get too crowded during summer months. Its much better to enjoy the view from higher up in the mountains than try to find a spot on a crowded beach. Parking could be a problem, dont try to find a place in the town but drive a little further to Ischia Parking - a huge open lot but still 5min from the lake, 2.5€/h or 15 for a day
Andriy S — Google review
Fun fact: we went there in 2021 and couldn’t experience the lake as much as we would have liked to because of the rain. So, we went there again in 2024 but it rained again!

Absolutely Stunning Place. We spent a few hours here. But after seeing it's Beauty I would have loved to have stayed here for a few days. Looks like a lovely community. I visited in the middle of May as almost had the Lake to myself but this was like 6pm in the afternoon.

One of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen! I recommend going in the morning to avoid the crowds. We went on a Thursday in July and it was okay, definitely enjoyable to walk around the lake and the beautiful mountain village. The public transport is also really great if you’re coming from surrounding cities (we came from Trento and took a train and a bus, but be prepared that the last bus leaving Molveno is at 18:45).

Beautiful lake about 40 minutes from Trento. I visited in November on a weekday at it was dead. Sunny though with snow in the mountains. It was beautiful. There is several areas to park at, free in November. Can walk along the beach. There was a cafe open during the day with some drinks and food. The lake is definitely a must see. Highly recommend visiting.

Zoo

Park
Parco Natura Viva, located between Pastrengo and Bussolengo near Lazise, offers a unique experience with its Auto-Safari Park where visitors can drive through and observe lions, tigers, monkeys, and various bird species. The park also features a zoo housing a wide variety of animals and an impressive dinosaur park with life-sized replicas.
Great zoo experience at Lake Garda! We were genuinely impressed by this zoo. The grounds are spacious and beautifully maintained, with plenty of room for the animals. You can tell that animal welfare is a top priority here – the enclosures are large, clean, and provide lots of shade. The animals looked healthy and well cared for, and many were easy to observe without feeling like their space was compromised. There’s also plenty of shade along the walking paths, which makes the visit pleasant even on hot days. The layout is clear and well signposted, and everything feels thoughtfully arranged. The restaurants on site were a pleasant surprise – good food, reasonable prices, and a nice variety to choose from. One small suggestion: it would be great if the large playground had more shaded areas – especially for the little ones during the midday heat. All in all, a fantastic visit and a great day out for all ages. We’ll definitely be back
Alexander L — Google review
Gorgeous park! animals look happy and healthy. It's very large and unfortunately we couldn't see it all cause it started raining heavily and we had to leave 😔 but definitely worth a visit! There's also a fun kids park inside so you can have a bite while the kids play and enjoy some great live music 😊👌🏻
Jodi H — Google review
Took us 4 hours to complete as a couple walking around at a normal pace. If you bring your kids it will easily take an entire day, the place is massive and has a lot to offer. The animals have a lot of space and you can tell they are taken good care of. Can highly recommend visiting!
Benjamin H — Google review
A must-visit! Parco Natura Viva is a beautiful nature park with great habitats for animals. I highly recommend adding the photo safari option (a small extra charge) – together the park + safari ticket is only €29 and absolutely worth it. My tip: go in the afternoon hours when it’s less hot, for an even better experience.
Simo B — Google review
The park is huge and nicely organized, I was here during the summer so most of the animals were outside and visible. Some of the animals are hidden so you cannot see them, for example lions (there is only one window from where they could be seen) Overall, the zoo is great!
Jakov P — Google review
This is really one of the best zoos that we have ever been to. We were thoroughly impressed with the amount of space that the animals had and the quality of their environments. Most signs were in both Italian and English. The food was not only good but not overpriced like some zoos. It was very hot when we visited though and I do wish that there had been places to fill out water bottles. The Zoo was very easily accessible from Verona by bus.
Scott M — Google review
Absolutely great park! We started with the Safari by own car and continued walking in the park. The park is decided into areas, with corresponding animals. There are sufficient places to eat, drink coffee and toilets. For a hot sunny day 90% you can walk in the shade. The animal areas are well maintained and cared for. Buy your tickets online from official website, saves money and ones you bought the park tickets, you get a link to book the safari. We spend 5 hours in total and still didn’t see everything. So we will visit again. Visited on a Monday within high season, still easy to walk or see animals front row.
Vincenzo — Google review
The biggest ZOO in Italy! You have a 4 hours walk through the park and 40 minutes ride in the safari. Safari is a great experience and must see! We bought the tickets online for the park, safari and parking (in the application). Note: the walk in the park and the safari need to be in the same day. So, if you go one day in the park and want the next one in the safari it won’t be doable.

David S — Google review
Piazza delle Erbe is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares in all of Italy. Surrounded by elegant palaces, medieval towers, and richly decorated façades, it feels like stepping back in time. The square has been the beating heart of Verona since the Roman era, once serving as the city’s forum, and today it still pulses with life from morning to night. The architecture is breathtaking — from the frescoed façades of the Mazzanti Houses to the Baroque Palazzo Maffei with its statues of classical gods. Every corner seems to tell a story of centuries gone by, blending Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influences seamlessly. That said, it is incredibly crowded, especially during peak hours. Tour groups, market stalls, and cafés all compete for space, so be prepared for a lively (and sometimes overwhelming) atmosphere. Still, even with the crowds, the energy of the square only adds to its charm. If you’re visiting Verona, Piazza delle Erbe is absolutely unmissable. Come early in the morning or later in the evening if you want a quieter experience, but at any time of day, it’s a stunning place to soak in history, architecture, and authentic Italian life.
Scott G — Google review
I truly enjoyed strolling through Piazza delle Erbe, Verona’s oldest square. It’s a vibrant blend of history and daily life—once a Roman forum, now surrounded by medieval buildings, frescoed facades, and lively cafés. The square hosts bustling markets and iconic monuments like the Colonna di San Marco and Fontana di Madonna Verona. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was a real pleasure to take in all the beautiful historic architecture.
Dr. H — Google review
Piazza delle Erbe is a truly beautiful square. It's lined with a row of stunning buildings, with the most magnificent of all—Palazzo Maffei—standing proudly at one end. In the center, you'll find the impressive Madonna Fountain of Verona and a bustling bazaar full of life. The edges of the square are dotted with charming-looking restaurants, shops and cafés. We didn’t eat there ourselves, though, as the square was quite crowded with fellow tourists. That said, we did find a few quieter corners along the edges, perfect for sitting back and watching people pass by—it was quite entertaining!
Heikki K — Google review
A beautiful square that feels big but still quite cozy. In my opinion, it’s definitely more interesting than the large one by the Arena. From here you’ve got direct access to Juliet’s house, plus plenty of nice restaurants, narrow streets, and cafés all around. The atmosphere is fantastic – you could wander here all day.

Casa di Giulietta, also known as Juliets House, is a 13th-century gothic-style building in Verona that has become a popular tourist attraction. Although it was once owned by the Dal Cappello family and not the Capulets of Shakespeare's story, it still exudes an enchanting charm that captivates visitors.
What a cool experience!! Definitely get tickets and go inside the house. Such amazing interiors! Definitely will be using the ceilings and frescos for quilting inspiration.
Lara K — Google review
Despite what many believe, Juliet was not a real historical person. This house once belonged to the Cappello family — a name that inspired Shakespeare’s “Capulet.” The famous balcony was added centuries later to recreate the feeling of the legendary love story of Romeo and Juliet. Still, the place has an undeniable charm. Visitors come from all over the world to leave love notes, touch Juliet’s statue for luck, and feel the spirit of romance that Verona is famous for. A must-see, even if the story is a beautiful myth. ❤️
Hasan H — Google review
If you are a fan of the immortal story of two lovers, then you must visit Juliet's house. The house is constantly besieged by tourists, so think carefully about when you want to visit (preferably in the morning). I personally like the collection of artworks in the house, and the original wall paintings are also impressive. I recommend that everyone who visits the house also visit Romeo's home. It is completely overlooked, and only rarely do tourists stop at the memorial plaque on the site where his home once stood.
Anuša G — Google review
Still, this place has sadly lost some of its romance. The inner courtyard is flooded with crowds – noise, long lines to touch Juliet’s statue, and cameras flashing from every direction. There’s little real romance left; it feels more like a tourist ritual than a place of love. The museum is interesting to visit, with Juliet’s statue and a few authentic details, but you’ll feel the true spirit of Verona much more while wandering through its charming streets than standing amidst the crowds.
Saulė T — Google review
Casa di Giulietta in Verona is a romantic landmark linked to Shakespeare’s Juliet. The 13th-century house features a charming balcony said to inspire the famous scene from _Romeo and Juliet_. Visitors leave love notes on its walls, making it a symbol of timeless passion and literary enchantment. By the way it is very crowded.
Dr. H — Google review
Paying the ticket to see the house is much better than the experience outside. Even in low season was completely crowded to the point that the statue looked even nervous herself. There is the same statue inside the house with no crowd, and from the house you can take a picture from the balcony. Staff is kind of rude
K. M — Google review
This was a tourist trap. The balcony is way small and only 2 persons can fit. We did not visit the inside of the house because of the reviews on Google saying that it was nothing special. The yard was ok and we got to take pictures of the statue of Juliete and the wall of letters. There was a shop nearby that could costumise everything you wanted to by that was nice. The store inside the house has only overpriced magnets and pens for tourists.

Wow every romantic person women ,man or couple need to visit this place and even if you not into romantic things definitely take your partner there is famous balcony spirit is still there for 2 people who love eachother but can't be toghtether is nice fairy tale and you need to be part of it, try get there in the morning when is less busy and dont forget Mark pen to write down something on wall

Great place to visit while in the area. The castel is owned by a private person and they've done an amazing job restoring the castle. The lady who was there was fantastic, she shared her knowledge about the place. Highly recommend to visit the castle.

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

Ducale Palace

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Ducale Palace, a magnificent Renaissance fortress and the former residence of the Gonzaga family, is an absolute highlight when exploring Mantua. This stunning palace boasts an impressive collection of frescoes by renowned artists like Mantegna and Pisanello, alongside exquisite tapestries attributed to Raphael. As you wander through its numerous rooms filled with treasures, you'll be captivated by painted ceilings that seem to tell stories from another era. The palace also features enchanting secret gardens that add to its charm.
Amazing place and the ticket price (15€) is really decent compared to other more famous palaces and given the amount of space, art and history you see. We were simply astonished. You can easily spend 4-5h and if it's raining outside, you have no reason to hurry up. We loved it, it's a must if you're in Mantova.

This was perhaps the best Palazzo I ever visited. Of course, Mantegna's work (camera degli sposi) was fab, but the building, setting, views as a whole were remarkable. I can understand why 400 years of Gonzagas lived here.
Laurie P — Google review
Palazzo Ducale is a breathtaking testament to Renaissance opulence—a vast labyrinthine complex of over 500 rooms, evolved from the 13th to the 17th century by luminaries like Giulio Romano, Antonio Maria Viani, and Giuseppe Piermarini . The crown jewel is undoubtedly the Camera degli Sposi, Andrea Mantegna’s illusionistic masterpiece that transports you into the heart of the Gonzaga dynasty . You’ll also discover the dazzling Hall of Mirrors, rich with mythological frescoes and regal reflections , along with sumptuous tapestries and Rubens’s “Adoration of the Holy Trinity” .

Four hours of magnificance! This palace is now one of my favourites. Starting with the bridal room and Mantegna's masterpiece - leading through corridors, rooms, passages, balustrades and gardens with some of the most stunning works ever made. As for the gardens and collection rooms - Having visited the Met's Cloisters, brought back memories - Ducale's Palace must have been an important benchmark and inspiration. A worthwhile visit. Bring time and a pair of comfy shoes or sandels. I walked the full stretches of Venice's palazzos, but Ducale is where I needed to rest my feet after the visit.

Dizzying array of intricately decorated rooms and artistic artifacts. You’ll never be able to absorb it all.

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

Historical landmark
The Ducal Palace of Colorno, also known as Reggia di Colorno, is a grand 18th-century palace built by Francesco Farnese, the Duke of Parma. It features opulent French-inspired rooms and an art-filled chapel. The palace's ornamental gardens were designed to rival the grandeur of Versailles. Once a favored residence of Marie Louise, Napoleon's wife, it offers a rich historical experience.
Great place, absolutely a must if you are in the area of Parma. You can enjoy the atmosphere and in the spring time a lot of beautiful flowers. Independently you are here for the building or for the garden you will enjoy this visit!

Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana is a modern high-speed railway station that provides convenient travel connections to other major Italian cities. The station features two platforms and two middle tracks for nonstop trains, along with facilities such as a cafeteria and waiting areas for purchasing tickets or awaiting train arrivals. The presence of police officers contributes to the overall sense of safety, while the cleanliness of the station is well-maintained. This contemporary transportation hub offers a unique experience, distinct from traditional Italian settings.

A modern and eye catching high speed train station with two platforms and two middle tracks for nonstop trains. Below the platforms, you’ll find a cafeteria, the Italo and Freccia Rossa waiting areas where you can buy train tickets or just await the arrival of your train, especially since there aren’t many seats on the platform itself. The station overall feels safe due to the presence of police officers with an office present close to the cafeteria. The place is kept very clean. You’ll find both a bus terminal and a regional train station, not the forget taxi services awaiting for you downstairs.

Enzo Ferrari Museum

Museum

The Enzo Ferrari Museum, located not far from the city center, is a futuristic glass-walled building that showcases the life and work of Enzo Ferrari. The museum features multimedia exhibits, an art gallery, and an extensive collection of iconic racing cars. Visitors can also experience semi-professional simulators to get a feel for driving a Prancing Horse F1 single-seater on famous tracks like Monza and Silverstone.
Visiting the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena was an unforgettable experience and an absolute must for anyone with a passion for cars, history, or design. The moment you step inside, you feel the strong connection between Ferrari’s legacy and the city of Modena itself. The museum is beautifully designed, with modern architecture that contrasts yet harmonizes perfectly with Enzo Ferrari’s birthplace, which is also part of the visit. The collection of cars on display is breathtaking. Each model tells a story, from the earliest creations to the most advanced machines that symbolize Italian excellence. The exhibits are arranged with care, allowing visitors to appreciate the evolution of design, technology, and performance. The multimedia presentations, films, and historical documents give great context and make the experience both educational and emotional. What impressed me most was the attention to detail in every aspect. The lighting, the space, and the sound create an atmosphere that feels almost theatrical. It is not just a museum it feels like a celebration of Ferrari’s spirit and innovation. I left inspired, with a deeper appreciation for what Ferrari represents to Italy and to the world. Highly recommended for travelers, enthusiasts, and dreamers alike.

Definitely a Must! The scenography of the cars, the presentation on the big screen, the location, the Supercars exposed…. Could have spend more time there but had to leave for the rest of the journey after a good 2-3 hours visit! We loved it!!! Will come back to admire art on wheels!

The Ferrari Enzo Museum continues to be one of the most rewarding stops for any automotive enthusiast — and an absolute must for anyone who loves Ferrari. On my latest visit, I was pleased to see how much they’ve improved the main display hall. The new layout makes it far easier to walk around the cars and appreciate them from every angle, which really elevates the experience. The tribute film dedicated to Enzo Ferrari remains a touching centerpiece of the visit. It’s beautifully put together and adds emotional depth to the museum, reminding you of the passion and vision behind the brand. The standout for me this time was the F40 LM — an icon in its own right and an unbelievable sight up close. It alone is worth the trip. Overall, the museum is a fantastic place for any car fan, and for Ferrari enthusiasts it’s nothing short of special.

Such an amazing display. The video presentations and abundance of information was fantastic. Photos documents and history in the 2nd part of the exhibit has hours of extra enjoyment for the Ferrari enthusiast who really wants to see the details. Just amazing. You can drive a virtual Ferrari or enjoy walking through the cars on show. Arrived by bus from Bologna, it was easy enough to find with google maps. We purchased tickets when we got there. We only did the one museum but a 2nd extra one is available when you purchase your ticket. Price was fair. Access to this museum was easy by bus but I’m not sure about the 2nd one so research ahead.
Robyn S — Google review
The visit to the Ferrari Museum left me underwhelmed. Given Ferrari’s storied legacy, I anticipated a richer exploration of the brand’s history and Enzo Ferrari’s life. Sadly, the museum lacks depth, with sparse details on the iconic founder and the company’s evolution. The car collection, while sleek, is a bit limited, featuring fewer models than expected. Interactive experiences are minimal, with just two small exhibition halls that feel underwhelming for such a legendary brand.
S T — Google review
Beautiful display of Ferrari supercars, but that's all this museum has going for it. For instance, they have gutted and not restored Enzo's original workshop. Literally no trace of it remains. They have a small (possibly restored) version of his office, but that's it. Tons of history is missing. Gift shop is ridiculously overpriced. If you want to see Ferrari supercars (and are willing to spend 27 euros apiece to do so) then go. If not pass.
Michael O — Google review
You can't touch anything and has zero opportunities to interact with the installation. There is a simulator but is 25€ on top. There is another car where you can actually go in but you have to pay for pictures. There are no places to sit and rest for a second. The whole concept (Modena and Maranello museum+ Shuttle Bus) is very expensive and price performance not comparable with other big museums like the Mercedes Benz.

A beautiful Romanesque cathedral right in the heart of Modena. The details on the façade are stunning, and the inside feels peaceful and full of history. It's also a UNESCO World Heritage site, definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

An incredible piece of architecture, inside and out. The inside was not what I expected it to be. Definately worth a trip up the tower (a seperate entrance) for some amazing views. The stairs are mostly enclosed so it’s not too bad if you aren’t keen on that sort of thing.

The Modena Cathedral, or Duomo di Modena, is an awe-inspiring masterpiece and a must-visit landmark in the heart of the city. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it stands as a testament to Romanesque architecture and the rich history of Modena. Built on the burial site of Saint Geminianus, the city’s patron saint since 331 AD, the cathedral is not just an architectural wonder but also a deeply spiritual place. The crypt, where Saint Geminianus is interred, adds a layer of solemnity and historical significance, making the visit feel profound and meaningful.

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...
Gary C — Google review
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.
RR C — Google review
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.
Atahan — Google review
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.

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

Tomas J — Google review
Le Due Torri are impossible to miss and even harder to stop staring at. Rising at a dramatic tilt over the heart of Bologna, the Asinelli and the leaning Garisenda towers feel like something out of a medieval fantasy; tall, weathered, and slightly defiant against the modern city buzzing below. They're not just symbols of Bologna; they are Bologna, standing watch over centuries of change. Even from the ground, they carry a sense of mystery and gravity that makes you pause and look up; just like everyone else passing by.

We had seen the Two Towers on Rick Steve's show and wanted to take a look while in Bologna on our trek through Europe. The towers were easy to find. Google maps brought us right to them. The construction on the streets around the towers as well as the tower project made it difficult to get good pictures. We could see pretty well but so much chaos going on and it was very loud...we moved along promptly.

Piazza Maggiore is the main square of Bologna, Italy — and one of the country’s most iconic public spaces. Located in the heart of the historic center, it has been Bologna’s political, social, and cultural hub since the 13th century. Basilica di San Petronio – A massive, unfinished Gothic church dedicated to Saint Petronius, Bologna’s patron saint. It’s one of the largest brick churches in the world. Palazzo d’Accursio (or Palazzo Comunale) – Once the seat of Bologna’s government, now home to the Morandi Museum and the city hall. Palazzo del Podestà and Palazzo Re Enzo – Medieval buildings from the 13th century, when Bologna was an independent commune. Palazzo dei Banchi – A beautiful 16th-century portico closing off the eastern side of the square, connecting to the old market streets.

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

Basilica
Sights & Landmarks
Basilica di San Petronio is a grand Gothic basilica in Bologna, dedicated to the city's patron saint, Petronius. The 14th-century edifice boasts an unfinished brick and marble facade and houses 22 art-filled side chapels. It stands as one of Italy's most monumental Gothic basilicas, with a capacity for up to 28,000 people.
The Basilica di San Petronio is more than just a church, it’s one of the most awe-inspiring spaces in Bologna, blending massive scale, scientific ingenuity, and quiet grandeur. It’s the sixth-largest church in Europe, and standing beneath its soaring vaults, you feel every bit of that scale. What made our visit truly special was witnessing the sunbeam cross the enormous meridian line, a sundial built into the floor that still tracks solar noon with remarkable precision. It was a quiet moment, but deeply powerful; like watching time and faith align in a single ray of light. What many don’t realize is that this basilica was originally intended to be even larger than St. Peter’s in Rome, until the Vatican halted its expansion. That ambition still lingers in the unfinished façade and colossal proportions. Every chapel feels like its own world, and the blend of Gothic structure with Renaissance detail invites you to linger. San Petronio isn’t just a church; it’s a testament to Bologna’s boldness, intellect, and soul. If you’re lucky enough to catch the sundial in action, it’s a moment that stays with you.

A massive cathedral in the very centre of Bologna that’s definitely not to be missed. There is so much to see inside and try and take in that more than one visit may be required. It’s also a great place for a seat and rest especially when it’s so hot outside.

Cathedral in the heart of Bologna city center. If you're here do stop by! Make sure you are dressed appropriately, while its a free visit they do ask that you respect the dress code with covered knees and covered shoulders. It's rich in history and has various chapels worth visiting. The chapel holding the last judgement was closed for us but typically 5€ to visit. Again because it holds the last judgements painting. Would've loved to see it up close. But dont let that stop you from seeing the entire church and each chapel The chapels hold different ornaments and beautiful paintings, take you're time. Translate the plaques research the history its always worth it. Take time to enjoy the church and enjoy all the history inside. And dont forget to look down the tiles/floor holds secrets too!

The Basilica di San Petronio is absolutely breathtaking and well worth a visit if you’re in Bologna. We went over the weekend and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait to enter. Even though it was busy inside, the sheer size of the basilica meant we could explore at our own pace and really soak in the atmosphere. The history here is incredible — construction began in the late 14th century, and it was originally intended to be even larger than St. Peter’s in Rome. Today, it remains one of the largest brick churches in the world, with an interior that feels both grand and peaceful. One tip: they are strict about the dress code, so be sure to cover your shoulders and avoid shorts or skirts cut too high above the knees. A small effort for such an unforgettable experience!

Located in the heart of Piazza Maggiore, Bologna's Basilica of San Petronio is a testament to unfulfilled ambition and striking beauty. Its most distinctive feature is the unfinished façade—the lower half a masterpiece of intricate marble reliefs, while the upper half remains raw brick, a stark reminder of papal interference that halted its construction. Inside, the vast, echoing space is a stunning example of Italian Gothic architecture. The nave soars to an incredible height, flanked by 22 chapels, each a treasure trove of art. Don't miss the Bolognini Chapel, with its vivid frescoes of Heaven and Hell, a controversial masterpiece by Giovanni da Modena. The sheer scale and rich detail of the interior make it a captivating and deeply historical space, revealing Bologna's unique cultural and religious identity. CASSINI'S MERIDIAN Embedded into the floor is, a celestial wonder which unfolds beneath my feet. Not a grand dome or a soaring fresco, but a precise, 67-meter-long line of brass and marble—the Cassini Meridian. This isn't just a decoration; it's a monument to scientific genius, a grand solar observatory in stone. As I trace its path with my gaze, I imagine Giovanni Domenico Cassini and his team, hunched over their instruments in 1655, meticulously calculating the sun's altitude at noon. The sliver of sunlight piercing the basilica's vaulted ceiling, a golden messenger from the heavens, projects a perfect ellipse of light onto the meridian, its position a testament to the changing seasons and the Earth's tilted axis. This line, etched into the basilica's heart, is a testament to the harmony between faith and reason. It's a reminder that even within the walls of a sacred space, humanity's quest for knowledge of the cosmos can find its place, illuminating both the divine and the scientific in a single, brilliant beam.
Giles P — Google review
A very interesting church in the central square of Bologna, ( and definitely had more character than the cathedral). Because of it's location, and the more of I heard about it from other tours and events going on in the area, I ended up visiting this church 3 times within 3 days. However, every time I visited, I learned something new, such as how the built sundials work, or something about one of the many chapels in the building. There were soldiers at the front, which was a little unusual for other churches, but it seemed to cause no issues when visiting.

So many churches and cathedrals in Italy it is a challenge to see them all and a bigger challenge to know which ones might hold something even more special than the last. The Basilia di San Petronio is worth stopping in and visiting. While there is so much to see some of the artwork in the side chapels are remarkable and masterpieces in their own right. Take a little time to research before your visit and you'll find some very interesting paintings. Many com for its fresque of the Last Judgment. The prophet Mohammed is painted naked, his head devoured by a devil, in hell. The Basilica's half-finished marble façade is decorated with works by famous sculptors such as Jacopo della Quercia, Aspertini and Alfonso Lombardi. The central door features sculptures by Jacopo della Quercia depicting prophets and stories from the Bible, as well as a Madonna with a Child, Saint Ambrose and Saint Petronius. These sculptures would later inspire none other than Michelangelo, who spent some time in Bologna as a young man. The façade also features sculptures by Properzia de’ Rossi, one of the rare female sculptors of the Renaissance.

The Basilica di San Petronio is truly impressive. Its unfinished façade gives it a unique charm, and once you step inside, the vast space and beautiful light are striking. The frescoes and artwork make you feel like you’re walking through living history. The atmosphere is calm and majestic, and every corner reflects the soul of old Bologna. A visit that’s absolutely worth it, especially if you enjoy historic sites with depth and character.

Rocca di Vignola, also known as the Fortress, is a significant symbol of the town and was built in 1963. It's open to visitors during specific times and offers free entry. The castle is a popular attraction and is considered very photogenic. While it may be slightly damaged, it still holds historical significance and is worth a visit. Visitors can enjoy a free guided tour by booking in advance on their website.
It's always a pleasure that you come back home for your family and take some time to look to the Castle.... Is a piece of soul I take in London and around the world with me always . Tornare a casa e prendere del tempo per andare a vedere la Rocca... Riscalda sempre il cuore.

Awesome castle with great artwork. Super fun to tour and immerse in the colors and pictures. Great opertunity and a must stop if in the area and have time. They do close for a mid -day period (like a lot of places), but if you wind up in. That gap, the Castello Restaurant across the street is a great stop for a bite and a caffe while you wait for them to open back up.

Vignola is a quaint little town near Modena worth visiting. A nearby public parking lot is perfect starting point for the tour of old town. Vignola castle is a must visit. An imposing castle is free to enter and very photogenic. There was quite a crowd on our visit on saturday. I enjoyed walking the old streets more than visiting the castle, I guess you get quickly spoilt in this part of Italy with many historic sites in bigger cities.

We stopped here accidentally, on our road from Bologna to Rimini, mainly because of the high traffic and big queue on the exit towards Outlet. It turned out that that night was the jungle night from 15h to 23h. You could grab some great deals. Even some local band was playing. I guess they sometimes have nights like that, very cool.

Huge selection of stores where you can buy clothes stuff for vacations, stuff for the home. Very good prices if you compare to stores inside big cities, even better when there are nationwide discounts (for example Black Friday). I was there in late November and the Christmas spirit was reflected accordingly in order to make me spend so I can make myself and others happy with presents! Very nice place to spend the day, eat something quick and never leave without coffe and chocolate at Lindt!

Pietra di Bismantova is a stunning geological formation located in Castelnovo ne' Monti, province of Reggio Emilia, northern Italy. It features a narrow plateau with steep walls that rise 300 meters as an isolated spur from the nearby hills. The top of the plateau stands at an elevation of 1,047 meters above sea level and offers panoramic mountain views.
An incredible geological formation that stands alone in the many valleys surrounding it. La Pietra di Bismantova is a must stop if you are exploring the Appenino Tosco Emiliano

A truely unusual piece of geology. The hike up is for nearly anyone (no wheelchairs or elderly). Rock climbers, take note. There are also 3 via ferrata. Charming rifugio (restaurant) at the base.

What an amazing place. There is only a little difficulty to reach the top of the plateau because of the unstable path. There is a bar at the beginning of the mountain and restrooms also for people with handicap. You can reach the top both using the path and climbing the steep sloops if you have enough skills. As far I can see there is also a climbing school for novice. The effort in order to reach the top is repaid with the amazing POV. Try to believe.

Built by Count Cesare Mattei, it boasts a whimsical mix of Moorish, medieval, and Italian architectural styles. Visitors can explore the palace during weekend visits and enjoy concerts, exhibitions, and events. The tour provides interesting and thorough information about the history and architecture of the castle. However, some visitors feel that the guided tour is too short and strictly timed.
Rocchetta Mattei is a stunning hidden gem, blending Moorish and medieval architecture in a fairytale setting. The guided tour is captivating and full of fascinating history. A must-visit for lovers of art, mystery, and beauty.
Manuela R — Google review
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!

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.

Mugello Circuit is a renowned racing circuit that features a parkland track spanning over 5000m, regularly hosting thrilling car and motorcycle races. Despite experiencing a rainy day, visitors were captivated by the impressive cars and even had the opportunity to take a van ride around the track. The infrastructure was lauded as top-notch, making it an ideal location for motorcycle racing.
Despite visiting many races across Europe, I had never visited Mugello. My son & I visited the famous Mugello for the full 3 days this year. We hired a motorbike in Florence & rode to the circuit (about 40mins). The roads to the circuit were great and clearly signposted. Amazingly, we found that we could park on the circuit roads or small car parks on the circuit for free. We found a great viewing only 4mins from our parking spot! From there, we could see >80% of the circuit & there was a large tv screen close by to watch the race, replays & positions. Facilities were superb & not too expensive compared to, say, Silverstone. The atmosphere, viewing, Facilities & entrance/exit using the motorbike were great even on the main race day (Sunday). Highly recommended & we will go again.

It’s an okay outlet — nothing special. On the plus side, there’s a huge parking area with over ten charging spots for electric cars, which is really convenient. But despite the number of stores, the selection is underwhelming, and prices are exactly the same as in downtown Bologna. Honestly, there’s no real reason to come here just for shopping. You’ll find the same brands and deals in the city, with a much better atmosphere. Not worth a dedicated trip.

The Zoo of Pistoia is a venerable zoo and amusement park that houses over 600 animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The environment aims to closely replicate the natural habitats of the animals. Visitors can encounter various species such as brown bears, lynx, tigers, lions, giraffes, colorful parrots, rare lemurs from Madagascar and other endangered species from around the world.
A great small zoo. The enclosures are really good. It is mainly under shade which was important in August. We saw most animals except the big cats and wolves. The penguins were our favourites. The cafe bars were good value and so was the entrance price. It was our first Italian zoo and we were impressed and had a fun packed 3 hours.

Spent about two hours here with the family ranging from little kids to older adults and had a great experience at this zoo. We got to see a lot of different animals including the wolves, bears, zebras, ostriches, penguins, monkeys, and giraffes. Great way to spend an afternoon. There were a bit of hills to walk up and down but there was a nice amount of shade so it was bearable in the hot weather.
Stephanie R — Google review
Very nice Zoo! A bit smaller that I expected but animals are well taken care of and have very nice enclosures (even if some may look dated). Biggest issue is getting there which is very difficult without a car. The are busses that in the morning and then after 15:00 but if you arrive at let's say 9:00 (last morning bus), then by 12 you most likely have seen the whole place. We chose to go by foot from Pistoia (Google says it's 45 walk) but this way you end up walking by a very busy road without side road. There's also not much to see in the area besides the Zoo, so take it into consideration when planning to go there.

Nice Zoo. The distance between toilets and store and restaurant in the Zoo has been extremely well thought, I am saying that as a mother with 2 children. Also everything was quite clean. Only minus is that a lot of the "interesting" animals were not there/ or well hidden (Tiger, mini Hippo, Zebras etc.) but otherwise worth the visit.

Nice zoo, not too big. We went there on a bit of a rainy day. Luckily dogs were allowed un the zoo, and the animals reacted good on it.

We were in there for ±5h including long lunch at the restaurant.

Great experience—definitely recommend! The return ticket was €7 per person, and absolutely worth it. Montecatini Alto felt like stepping back in time. I absolutely loved it! 🥰

It was a fun, relaxing ride, you have plenty of information available on the spot regarding its history an elevation angles. And the view from Montecatini Alto is magnificent. The funicular program makes it hard to miss the experience (it is open until 24.00).

The journey is gentle and slow enough to be able to enjoy the view. Staff were friendly and a return ticket is €7. We enjoyed our visit to Montecatini Alto, there are several small shops and a central square with restaurants, a bar, and Gelato shop. lots of outdoor seating and shade in a medieval village.

If you're in Montecatini then you should visit Montecatini Alto using the Furnicular! This is the mountain Railcar that takes you up to the small town with big views! Trains run every 30mins all day and night (not overnight) and tickets cost €7.50

Museo Civico Archeologico

Mentioned on 
+5 other lists 
Archaeological museum
Museums
The Museo Civico Archeologico is housed in a renovated 14th-century mansion, featuring a charming courtyard, loggia, and well. Recently gaining attention for the reattribution of a portrait to Caravaggio, the museum offers an interactive touch-screen interpretation of the Portrait of a Gentleman. Visitors can explore painting details, restoration process, and new attribution. The museum also provides insights into Lombard lifestyle.
This experience is a must do when visiting Florence, especially on a beautiful sunny day. There are 3 separate experiences and we did the full 3 as a bundle for $12Euro each. That includes the Roman Theater ruins, the Archeological Museum, and the Bandini Museum. You can look up online about what each of these are but for us, most interesting is the Etruscan culture which predates the Romans and after the Romans was settled by the Lombards. Layers of history. You can take bus #7 from Florence Station and it lets you out in Fiersole which is a fabulous hilltop town with small winding road and amazing views of Florence and the surrounding Tuscany country side with villas, vineyards, and gardens. The ruins are fascinating and there is a free audio tour available, you just have to ask at the ticket office and leave ID. The archeological museum is best for those interested in historical types of pottery but also has many other items. The Bandini is best for those interested in Renaissance religious art. The best part was simply walking around Fiersole on a beautiful day with its views, small winding medieval alleys, beautiful houses and gardens. There is good coffee, food, and wine in the square which is busy with tour groups. It is nice to get out of the crowds of Florence.

Really enjoyed this part of our visit to Fiesole. The grounds have sites with Etruscan period ruins, a Roman amphitheater and baths, and burial spaces from after the Roman period (Longobardians). The museum houses items from all these periods from household items, coins, weapons, and decorative items. Interpretive signage is generally bilingual (Italian and English).

It's a small and poorly taken care museum and the people who work there are really disrespectful and screamed at me for feeding my baby (while she clearly could've talked RESPECTFULLY and peacefully) it's funny how a country full of naked statues and paintings has ignorant people whose shame mom's for feeding their babies

Perseus with the head of Medusa

Mentioned on

This sculpture is of incredible quality and beauty, depicting Perseus holding the decapitated head of Medusa. It stands in the middle of Piazza della Signoria, one of the most famous spots in old-town Florence, and is a must-see for anyone travelling to Italy.
Perseus with the Head of Medusa in one of the originals kept here. This bronze sculpture by Benvenuto Cellini was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici and completed between 1545 and 1554. It stands under the left arch of the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Manuel U — Google review
This 16th century bronze statue of Cellini is a real marvel. It is positioned in Loggia dei Lanzi, near Palazzo Vecchio. The bronze sculpture of Medusa—whose gaze famously turns men to stone—is fittingly encircled by three towering marble statues of men: Hercules, David, and Neptune.

Such a beautiful work of art. This statue is right along side many other famous artworks also. The square it is located in is absolutely beautiful and has many places to eat and enjoy the city. Must see if you’re in town.

This bronze sculpture was created by Benvenuto Cellini between 1545 and 1554. Depicting the mythological hero Perseus holding the severed head of Medusa, the work is a powerful symbol of Medici family authority.

A great piece of art displayed at Loggia dei Lanzi, open-air sculpture gallery in Florence, Italy. There is a political meaning for the sculpture as it depicts the power of the Duke who had “cut off the head” of the Republic with Medusa representing the Republican experiment and the snakes coming out of her body are the discords that affected democracy.

Nice open air selection of sculptures.

This is hands down one of the most amazing statues you will ever see. It’s stunning, it’s sculpted to perfect and if you go around to the back of the statue and look at the head of Perseus you’ll see an image of Chilini the artist who designed and made this piece of art. It’s just over 500 years old and is still in tip-top condition. I’m really grateful to have seen this statue and I would definitely recommend checking it out.

The statue of Perseus and Medusa's head is part of a collection of statues that's located at a public square besides the Palazzo Vecchio. The statue itself is of a dark color making it different from the other statues in the collection.
