Cascate di Saent

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Hiking under tall pines & across suspension bridges to a dramatic waterfall fringed by wildflowers.
Amazing hike which is not too heavy but offers beautiful scenery. When you’re lucky you can see some cows. We took approximately 2 hours to complete the hike. Parking was free but we visited in low-season.

The waterfall located in the heart of a lush forest is undoubtedly one of the most comfortable and peaceful places you can visit. The soothing sound of the nearby stream, the chirping of the birds, and the fresh breeze that blows through the trees create an atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. This place makes visiting the forest feel like a true escape to a peaceful paradise.

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

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

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of botanical riches--from the "trees of the world" area to the amazing and artful viewing platform set high above the garden to the more formal plantings around the big pond and in the sunny hills near the castle.

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

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

Santuario di San Romedio

Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Santuario di San Romedio is a medieval shrine located on a rocky spur, accessible via a steep path or shuttle bus from Sanzeno. The path from Museo Retico to the sanctuary offers stunning views and takes less than an hour to hike. The sanctuary itself features several churches and chapels, with the oldest dating back to the 11th century. Surrounded by mountains and forests, it offers beautiful scenery and is worth a visit.
Lovely monastery with lots of stairs... if you have a hard time with stairs, don’t even go through the door. It’s a religious place, where people come to pray, so you must be considerate when talking. It’s built on a rock and the view from the top floor is quite impressive, especially from the pointy balcony; watch your kids here. The food at the cafe is not bad and it’s reasonably priced.
The R — Google review
Excellent hike along a path hewn in to the Cliffside of the gorge to the Sanctuary. (You can also drive to the sanctuary) We parked in Sanzeno (free parking in field near the piazza), initially walking a small road, then track through orchards to a path in the cliff. It’s flat, lots of fun and quite low (watch your head - there are signs saying you need a helmet but no one wore one). There are 160 steps up to the sanctuary itself - well worth it. There and back it’s a 6.5 mile (around 9km) walk.
Andy P — Google review
Beautiful nature to see, impressive architecture. The sanctuary it self, as to be expected, pretty austere. Didn't enjoy seeing the caged bear doing circles cause its clearly depressed.

the path to the eremo itself is beautiful (photo of it below). its litterally carved iside a natural canion. the eremo itself is outstanding. the personal is helpful and prepared. plus it has a giant friendly bear and lots of doggos. a lot of panoramic wiews too. finally if you are into walking in the woods these place is right for you.
Giorgio T — Google review
We hiked here from San Zeno along the path carved out of the mountainside (watch your head!). There are some short climbs, but it’s doable in less than an hour each way and the vistas over the valley are beautiful. There are some spots where you do need to pay attention, but it’s fairly well marked. While you’ll see fully kitted out hikers, there are also plenty of families and elderly people just taking a walk with regular clothes and shoes. The sanctuary is very peaceful and their resident bear even came out to greet us.
Michelle B — Google review
Lovely walk very fun from museum
Tkolody — Google review
You cannot access the sanctuary with a car during summer months but there is a shuttle bus to and from it (from Sanzeno), costing 2 EUR one way or 3 EUR both directions. You could also park your car at Museo Retico (paying parking lot) and go on foot which is more than worth it. The path is not too challenging and it takes less than an hour. We went to the sanctuary on foot and took the bus back. The sanctuary itself is worth the visit but there's not much to do more than 30 minutes or so...
Bruno — Google review
Incredible shrine sitting on top of the hill. The shrine hosts a lovely bear which has become an attraction per se. The car entrance is in Sanzeno, while the shrine is accessible by several walks. One of the walk starts from Coredo, providing a majestic park close to an artificial lake. From there the shrine is reachable by foot in 1h (2/3)km. The path is a bit steep at some point.

I hiked via Malga Arza and Malga Termoncello to get here which was a difficult hike to and from and a long way. But the lake was worth the hike. Beautiful colour and view.
Darryl M — Google review
The Lago is stunning and so worth visiting. It’s accessed along a 14 km road with a pay-booth at the head of the valley. There’s plenty of parking near the lake plus clean toilets. With many photo stops and a picnic, it took us 2.5 hours to walk around the lake on the well-defined path - you could halve the time without the stops. Check the lake is open (we were told our visit on 14/9/25 was the last day it was open)

Lake Tovel is a hidden gem nestled in the stunning Dolomites. The emerald green waters are just breathtaking, and the surroundings are nothing short of magical. We spent a pleasant hour walking around the lake, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and taking in the scenery. The temperature was perfect for a relaxing stroll, and the only downside was the rather high parking fee of €18 in the summer. Even so, Tovel Lake is a must for nature lovers and those looking for a quiet getaway.

South Tyrol Archeological Museum

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

So cool ! The museum is located in the middle of town. Parking was a challenge , we used the parkhouse , while it’s 4.50€ per hour, it worked out well. The museum is set up in 3 floors , easy to follow as everything is numbered. What an amazing valuable find, so interesting . This exhibit really helps you understand the life of this man .

Mountain cable car
Transportation

We were given tickets as part of the public transport system. I'm glad we had time to use the tickets. The cable car was an amazing experience to explore the upper region. At the top there is a short train ride, which showed us an excellent view and experience from a living in the mountains point of view.

Located just 10 min walk from the city center the cable car is one way of reaching Soprabolzano. The views from the ride are spectacular amd it takes roughly 12 min one way. One way ticket is 8 euros and if you buy the return you need to use it the same day, it cannot be used another day. If you are planning to get the scenic small train from Soprabolzano , make sure to mention this when buying the ticket so they will give you a combined o ne. You can either take the stairs to the 2nd level or the elevator. There is a coffee shop right next to it and a supermarket as well. Once you get on top you will find a bar / icecream shop in the area and a Despar amd Mpreis supermarkets. Very busy usually in the weekends

I have mixed feelings about this cable car. The first part of the experience was bad. There is a pretty long line and the stuffed too many people into one cart. However the view from this cable car is absolutely amazing. It first goes up and the has a long horizontal ride that seems like it was designed just so you can enjoy the view longer. Too bad we had such little personal space to enjoy the view.

The queue for the ride can be really long on a weekend, especially at 12pm. Be patient and dont join the queue. Just go for a lunch first till 1pm and the will be no wait needed to get a ride up. The long and smooth ride offers a great view between bolzano and suprabolzano.

The cable car (Funivia) takes you from Bolzano to Oberbozen (Sopra Bolzano). It's a 25 minute smooth ride with incredible and breathtaking views. The capacity is around 20 people at a time. Very recommended if in Bolzano.

Castel Thun

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

The castle is beautiful but the real star is the garden with its magnificent views. Took down one star because we wasted an hour waiting for parking and it messed up our plans for the day.

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

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

Karersee, also known as Lake Carezza, is a stunning emerald-green lake located in the southwestern part of the Dolomites. The lake offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and fir trees that are reflected in its shimmering rainbow waters. Its size varies throughout the year due to being glacier-fed, adding to its allure. The area around Karersee is a popular destination for visitors seeking beautiful natural surroundings and iconic mountain reflections on the water's surface.
Absolutely gorgeous lake and peaceful forest walk. The colours of the lake are a feast for the eyes with the picturesque mountains as a backdrop. The rainbow lake is definitely worth a visit!

Amazing place to see especially on a sunny day. We were there with our 7m campervan on a Sunday morning around 9am and there were plenty of parking spaces but got busy rather quickly. You need to pay in the ticket machine before passing through the exit gate. Campers pay 9 eur for 3 hrs which is plenty time to see the sights, get some footage and have a meal as well.
Avinash M — Google review
It is a small lake surrounded by pine forests and the Dolomites mountains, offering breathtaking scenery. The water is crystal clear with an emerald-green color, reflecting the mountains and the sky. Easy to reach with no difficult roads. Parking is available at €3 per hour (Oct 2025), and payment must be made in advance at the ticket machine. The area also has convenient facilities such as shops and restaurants, though not very large. Perfect for a short stop to take photos and enjoy a peaceful walk. The atmosphere is calm, cool, and truly romantic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An excellent, medium-sized museum with a rich and diverse exhibition. It's sensibly arranged so you can explore it according to your needs—some sections in detail, others just for a quick glance. A lot about natural history and a bit about the human impact on it. Interesting for both adults and children, even for easily bored teenagers—proven! Many interactive elements will delight young visitors. And the building itself - a piece od excellent architekture by Renzo Piano, worth seeing!

This is the most wonderful science museum I’ve ever visited. It has 5 floors of exhibitions and the last one is a terrace with great view. There is even a greenhouse with tropical plants, live birds, butterflies, fishes. There are a lot of activities for children, so they can learn, play and have fun in a museum.

War memorial

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

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

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

Hotel Da Barba & Village of Gnomes is a charming rural retreat that features a delightful gnome-theme throughout the property. Guests can enjoy relaxing in the sauna and waking up to a complimentary breakfast served in the casual restaurant. The hotel staff are friendly and make an effort to communicate effectively in English. The highlight of this family-friendly hotel is undoubtedly the playful playground and whimsical gnomes which add to its unique charm.
Hotel Da Barba is an absolute gem! We had an amazing time and loved everything about it. It's the perfect place for families with kids, thanks to the playground and bouncy features that kept our daughter entertained for hours. But the real highlight was the gnomes village in the forest - it was truly fantastic and a unique experience for the whole family. The rooms at Hotel Da Barba were comfortable and well-appointed. We had a cozy and relaxing stay, and everything was kept clean and tidy. The accommodation perfectly suited our needs, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of fun and exploration. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We highly recommend this hotel for a delightful family vacation!

A trip to a magical world of gnomes... We absolutely loved it! A very special place, so much to entertain the children. The outside play park was great for my 2 young girls ,as well as the indoor playroom, that had an amazing view over the woodland. The bedrooms were wonderful, i reccommend booking the superior room, very spacious and great bathroom. Even my mother's bedroom, although small, had a large balcony, with a fantastic view. Fridge and kettle in the rooms were very welcome. Owners of the hotel and all staff very friendly and helpful. And the magical gnome walk? Well you will just have to go and discover it for yourselves. I highly reccommend it. My children are already asking to go back. We left feeling rejuvenated and relaxed and a bit sad to leave this fairytale behind.

We had a wonderful time at #VillaggioDegliGnomi! First and foremost, I need to mention the trail. The most comfortable and beautifully manicured trail I've had privilege to set foot upon! I had no concerns letting my kids run full speed downhill, because I knew their footing was sure and the fall would be into soft golf course type grass! As well I would gladly pay to run this loop 10 times! The playground was wonderful, and though there were plenty of other guests, we had no problem finding a table where we ate the picnic we had brought(you can also get food at the bar). There were slides and swings a volleyball ball court and basketball hoop, as well as 2 giant inflatable bouncy houses. There is also a 5 year old friendly race track that costs a 1 Euro token, but it is way more generous than the rides at the mall! The gnome village was wonderful! It is small, but as you would expect... after all, they are gnomes. Not to spoil the fun, but the gnome houses are interactive for the kids, and your kid can talk with them, see them, and maybe even get a sweet straight from the gnomes house should they say the magic word! The loop has a nice fitness circuit with various exercise equipment at stops through out the trail. Last but not least, the park is integrating a Pokemon go type app to benefit the park experience. Very cool from what I've seen, but it wasn't 100% integrated quite yet.

Giusti Garden, situated in Verona, Italy, is a well-known public garden dating back to the 16th century. This serene oasis offers a formal tiered layout with terraces and is adorned with sculptures and artfully planted trees. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle amidst lush greenery and meticulously manicured landscapes. The garden also provides breathtaking views of the city.
Lovely garden with easy and intuitive paths and stunning views of Verona. There’s toilets inside and you can get snacks and drinks from machines. The ticket also includes the 19th century apartment visit that is so gorgeous and very well preserved, you can see all the colorful furniture, wall paintings and more. I also like that they keep all windows open and there was many plants inside which makes pleasant to walk there.

I thought it was really quite expensive for what it is. The gardens are beautiful but there's not much to them and there's not much diversity in plant life or many statues/structures. There was also construction going on which marred the experience and a loud lawn mower which wasn't very peaceful. There is a small cafe and the views from the top shows the Verona city skyline. The apartments were beautiful and it was noce to see the historical pictures of the family, but I definitely think it could be cheaper or at least discounted when construction is taking place

Beautiful Italian style garden with mainly evergreen trees and plants. Great little maze for a bit of fun. Children would love it. Great terrace at the back. With a climb up a small tower to reach the top terrace. Fantastic views of the east bank of the river and Verona. Not great for wheelchair users or someone with walking difficulties. There is some renovation works happening at present but don't be put off.

We visited in August. After visiting so many buildings, this visit elevated the Verona experience. True, if you have ever been in Kensington garden or Versailles etc this will not provide that botanical experience. But if you walk in imaging that you can see how people lived back then, stopping on the top of the stairs, walking through the maze, imaging all kind of talks and small secrets that people exchanged back then, climbing on the top to enjoy the exceptional view, then you understand why it is a must see. Please prepare for the expensive ticket price, the family ticket was 35 eur in 2025.

A dreamlike escape in Verona Giusti Garden completely took my breath away. It’s not massive, but every corner is beautifully designed and full of charm. The view from the top is magical, and the entire place feels like something out of a fairytale—it honestly seems like the perfect spot to get engaged. One unexpected highlight: there are turtles in one of the fountains! I didn’t see that coming and thought it was such a cool, whimsical detail. Even on a cloudy or windy day, the atmosphere is serene and romantic. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve done anywhere in the world. An absolute must-see in Verona

I recently visited the Giardino di Giusti and, unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. Despite the €13 ticket, many of the grottoes, including Demiro’s Grotto, were closed, which significantly limited the visit. On top of that, the recommended app to complement the tour is heavy and not very functional on mobile networks, making the experience even more difficult. The beauty of the garden and the views are undeniable, but better maintenance and transparency are needed so that other visitors don’t face the same disappointment.

This small yet captivating museum, located in the basement of a tavern bar, showcases an array of historical documents and artifacts related to the Alpini soldiers. With an affordable admission fee and audio tours available in multiple languages, it’s an enriching experience for visitors of all ages.
This place had special significance for my wife as her Nonno served in WW1 with the Alpini. Very fascinating exhibition even if you have no link to it. Entry is through the tavern & downstairs. Well worth a visit.

You can get English or Italian audio guide to the museum which locates downstairs of a bar. The layout of the display cabinets were a bit confusing but the audios were very detailed. It was interesting and worth spending part of the afternoon there. After the museum, I suggest the outdoor seating at the bar because it has one of the most stunning views of River Brenta from there.

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

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

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

Overall, the Alpine Museum in Bassano del Grappa is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Alpine troops. (Original) Quanta emozione !!

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.

Cutest little town. We had a lovely afternoon here with our kids after lunch at i tigli. Soave is picture perfect, straight out of a storybook. The kids loved the train ride up to the castle and back, we ate amazing gelato and granita and strolled the streets. We of course grabbed a bottle of wine to take home with us. Highly recommend to visit.

Villa di Maser is one of the Palladian villas and the last one to be inhabited by a Duke, the husband of the late Contessa Diamante. It is beautiful, the frescoes are incredible. They make their own prosecco. It is a must see if you are in the Veneto region of Italy

Mura di Cittadella e Camminamento di Ronda

Castle
Museums
Mura di Cittadella e Camminamento di Ronda is the main attraction in Cittadella, a beautiful small city surrounded by well-maintained medieval walls steeped in history. The ramparts are open from 9 am to 5 pm during winter and until 7 pm from April to September, with the last entry one hour before closing. It takes about 30-45 minutes to walk around the walls, offering stunning views of the city.
i was casually scrolling through maps when I stumbled upon this tiny, walled village. since it happened to be on our route, we decided to stop for half a day. and honestly i have no idea how i have never heard of this place. it’s stunning. for just 3€ (student discount), you can walk along the medieval walls, which offer breathtaking views. from up there, you get a perfect panorama of the entire village, a massive church dominating the skyline, and mountains stretching into the distance like a postcard that somehow came to life. if you ever get the chance stop here.

This is such a hidden gem - beautiful place and seriously impressive to be able to make the full tour on medieval city walls. Little tricky with a fear of heights, but manageable. The barriers were robust all round, and we felt sufficiently secure to bring our little boy there. Prams can be left at the entrance. The inside of the city itself is also nice to stroll around.

My wife and I were brought here by a family friend while visiting her here in Italy. We walked along the top of the wall that surrounds the city and marveled at the sights. The view is incredible. I wouldn't recommend the tour along the wall for anyone who's afraid of heights. The city itself is charming and had a street market setup when we were there. I was told that the market is only setup on Mondays.

Cittadella itself is a nice little place. The normal day to day Italian life is visible here, in september there are hardly toerist. On Wednesday morning there is a market, the city holds Manny (coffee)bars and restaurants. There are also a lot of clothing shops. Verry nice for a 4-5 hour visit and lunch. The wall costs 5 euro to visit and wil give you stunning views over the city and surroundings. In a ralex pace the walk around took us 1 hour+. Note: not suitable for people with fear of heights 🫣.

A truly beautiful historic town with stunning buildings and a remarkable castle wall that can be visited and walked upon. There are plenty of cozy spots to enjoy coffee or grab a bite to eat, and parking is abundant and inexpensive. Do note that everything closes at 1 p.m. and reopens at 3 p.m. for siesta. Highly recommended.

Montagnana's medieval town walls are completely intact and absolutely stupendous. It took me 50 minutes to complete a gorgeous stroll around the four sides. The walls are almost two kilometres long, they include 24 towers, as well as four main city gates. One slight gripe is that while there is a path for walkers on the eastern/Porta Padova side, on the other three there aren't, sometimes you have to walk along an unpavemented main road.
David S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The walls of Montagnana still retain their medieval fortifications intact, its walls date back to the 11th century and extend for a perimeter of approximately 2400 metres, the 24 towers highlight its beauty. It's a shame not to be able to walk along the wall, but it's still a wonder to see. (Original) La cinta muraria di Montagnana conserva ancora integre le sue fortificazioni medievali, le sue mura risalgono all'XI secolo e si estendono per un perimetro di circa 2400 metri, le 24 torri ne risaltono la bellezza.

(Translated by Google) Montagnana is mysterious, especially in winter, shrouded in morning fog. From the photographs it seems much bigger but in reality it is possible travel on foot without difficulty. Inside the walls there are bars and restaurants. I recommend you visit the civic museum to admire the perimeter of the walls from above and delve into the troubled history of the various dominations. (Original) Montagnana è misteriosa, soprattutto d'inverno, avvolta nella nebbia del mattino. Dalle fotografie sembra molto più grande ma in realtà la si può percorrere a piedi senza difficoltà.

Built in 1337 with large blocks of Euganean trachyte and layers of brick, it has 24 watchtowers. 2 km long, it is surrounded by an external moat which was filled with water and served to defend the city. There are 4 access gates: Porta Legnago, Porta XX Settembre, Porta Padova and Porta Vicenza. (Original) La più bella cinta muraria che abbia mai visto. Costruita nel 1337 con grossi blocchi si trachite euganea e strati di laterizio presenta 24 torri di avvistamento.

Scrovegni Chapel

Chapel
Sights & Landmarks
The Scrovegni Chapel, also known as the Arena Chapel, is a must-see attraction in Padua. Commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni in the early 14th century, this chapel is adorned with vibrant frescoes painted by Giotto di Bondone between 1303 and 1305. The chapel's rich history and stunning artwork make it an essential stop for art enthusiasts. Additionally, visitors can explore the nearby gardens and museum for a comprehensive experience.
I was lucky enough to simply drop by on a Sunday evening and get tickets right away (don't do that, try to book in advance online). This was my favourite experience in Padova, easily!!! Just check the pictures, the paintings, the history of this place...this is magical!
Guilherme C — Google review
Ever since I read Gombrich’s The Story of Art years ago, I had dreamed of visiting this place. Undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Italy! Impeccably preserved, with lighting at the base that showcases the frescoes in the chapel in the best possible way. Giotto, in the 1300s, is a landmark figure pinned on the grand tapestry of art history, undeniably a medieval genius and at the same time the starting point of the Renaissance. He was among the first to bring architectural frames, outdoor scenery, shadowing, expressions, and natural gestures into his figures. Giotto’s innovations in spatial depth and emotional realism paved the way for Masaccio, and eventually for Da Vinci, Michelangelo and the High Renaissance. What makes the experience even more fascinating is its story: the chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni as an act of penance for his family’s sins of usury. The only real pity is that each visit is limited to just 15 minutes. Honestly, it feels far too short, so we couldn’t help but want to buy another ticket just to experience it all over again.
郭嘉欣 — Google review
What an amazing place and fascinating history. Regardless of whether you are religious or not. The incredible creativity of a man in the 1300's has to be witnessed. The human emotions that have been depicted throughout the chapel are amazing. Highly recommend a visit to this well organised historic site.

The chapel itself was astonishing and breathtaking. There was a short video in air-conditioned room before entering, which provided general info. - Unfortunately, there was not enough time to patiently savour the frescoes, we were rushed out, so I was very dissappointed:( *I know there are many people coming to visit, but I would strongly consider prolonging the visiting time.

Thank God, they haven't covered the original paintings and original walls. Since this is not the active chapel, we can feel the real archeological smell. Visitors are allowed inside onkybfor 15 min. There is an automatic door system to ensure the interiors are protected from environmental damage to the original paintings. Surprised to know that it was a private chapel of a wealthy citizen lived in Padova. His name was. Enrico Scrovegni. Like Dante's hell , this Chapel has Giotto 's hell. Interesting to know that there is a pope (rebelled )in the hell. The paintings are worth watching.

The Basilica of St. Anthony is a magnificent Catholic church with Byzantine-style domes and notable artworks, including relics of St. Anthony. Constructed in Gothic style shortly after the saint's death in 1232, it attracts pilgrims from around the world who come to pay homage to the revered friar. The interior is a labyrinth of chapels and corridors housing masterpieces such as Donatello's reliefs on the high altar and expressive sculptural narratives of St.
We took a day trip to Padova from Ferrara. We decided to take it easy just wander round the town looking at the architecture eating and drinking etc! The one place we did actually visit was the Basilica of St Anthony and it was stunning. It's hard to describe in words the majesty of the church. It is one of the most stunning churches I have visited. Was rather amused at them charging for the toilet! Definitely worth a visit.

The Basilica of St. Anthony is truly my place of strength. Every time I come here, I feel a powerful energy that surrounds and uplifts me. The atmosphere is so unique and deeply spiritual that it’s impossible to leave without feeling renewed and inspired. A must-visit for anyone who wants to experience something beyond the ordinary.
Tatiana — Google review
The exterior is a melange of architectural styles, fairly plain brickwork but with Byzantine minarets and domes reminiscent of the Hagia Sophia of Istanbul. Internally it is pure Gothic with wonderful sculptures and artwork. The scale is vast and the ceilings almost disappear into the distance, many covered by netting to catch falling debris. This is a site of pilgrimage for followers of Saint Anthony and there was a line to enter the chapels containing his relics. The lighting is very dim so the architecture is not shown to best advantage but nevertheless the effect is inspiring.
Herm D — Google review
It was a great blessing and goosebumping experience to have a dharhsan at St. Antony's basilica at Padova. One could feel the positive divine vibration the moment enters into the Basilica. Indeed, we spent more time in the Basilica in prayer and meditation. St. Antony of Padova is the patron saint for lost objects. St. Antony of Padova is widely celebrated saint in South India. We had a opportunity to pray at his cemetery, tonsee his unperished tounge and jaw. His incorruptible relic is housed in this basilica.

Due to our ancestral devotion to St. Anthony, my wife and I made a point to visit Padua, and the cathedral here is truly mesmerizing. Having visited Lisbon as well, we were particularly struck by the abundance of St. Anthony’s relics housed in this beautiful church. You will find St Anthony's pillow stone, uncorrupted tongue of St Anthony, Jaw bone with teeth, vocal apparatus, skin from head, cassock, St Anthony's finger, hair. Plus relics of other saints and items from cross on which Jesus died

One of the most magnificent basilicas you will ever see. Its fame rests not only on its architectural beauty but also on the spiritual aura that resides within the basilica. It houses the mortal remains of St Antony of Padua. It also has the relics of more than a dozen other saints including St Pope John Paul II. Catholics from all over the world flock to the Basilica throughout the year. One thing that catches our eyes is the altar that has all the relics.

Prato della Valle

Park
Sights & Landmarks
Prato della Valle in Padua is a grand public square with a central island encircled by an elliptical canal called the Alicorn, adorned with over 70 statues of notable figures. Commissioned in the 18th century, it serves as a venue for various events, fairs, concerts, and markets. This bustling square is frequented by students, artists seeking inspiration, and fitness enthusiasts who utilize the surrounding 'asphalt ribbon' for running and skating.
Prato della Valle is a beautiful and lively piazza, it’s a huge open space. The elliptical canal with its ring of statues is very unique — walking around feels like being in an open-air museum. On market days the square is buzzing with stalls, it’s a also beautiful place to stroll, sit under the trees, or just take in the atmosphere. I loved the night atmosphere, stunning lights and beautiful views. It’s also a great spot to start or end a walk through Padua, since it connects easily to the Basilica of St. Anthony and the historic center.

This is a lovely piazza to visit with many sculptures surrounding the water and grass area, however there isn't much else to do unless you visit on a market day. We caught the stall holders clearing away on the Saturday evening, so there was a lot of plastic mess around the piazza but it was all clean by the Sunday. You can walk the length of Via Roma towards the Prato delta Valle and also visit the Botanic Gardens and Basilica. If approaching from Via Roma, there is a supermarket on the opposite side of the piazza.

Prato della Valle is a huge square where in summer you can feel like a cutlet on a Teflon frying pan. The place is certainly impressive in size and number of statues, but the sun is so generous here that the only shadow is your own. Yes, it is beautiful, spacious, but it is better to come either at dawn or after sunset, otherwise the walk turns into an express version of an open-air sauna.

One of the largest squares in Italy and home to over 70 statues from important names in the history of the city. However, I do feel that the place is a bit overrated for tourism. The square (and the water) is a bit dirty, a lot of concrete, and there are no signs or plaques with explanations about the statues.

It was our first stop for the day which might have been a mistake as a tourist. It was nice seeing the local vendors but they were selling produce and since we were traveling, we could not take advantage of their products. I believe it would be different at night when the street vendors are serving food. It would be an excellent place for live music as well. As for the area itself. There is a lot of green space surrounded by water with bridges to cross the water. There are many statues to look at and it was very peaceful when we were there. If I were to return, I would definitely do the evening visit.

The University of Padua Botanical Garden, also known as Orto Botanico di Padova, is the oldest academic garden in the world. Established in 1545 by Benedictine monks and later included in UNESCO's World Heritage List, it has played a crucial role in the development of various scientific disciplines such as botany, chemistry, ecology, and pharmaceuticals.
This is the world’s oldest botanical garden, and if you have the chance, don’t miss it! It’s less than 30 minutes from Venice, by train, so it makes for a perfect day trip, if you want a break from the crowds. It’s quiet, peaceful, and serene. Founded in 1545, it is home to over 3500 medicinal plants. This garden was started to study the medicinal properties of plants, and many medications throughout history were created using the data collected in this garden. Nature is so cool! The greenhouses that are in the pictures were built in the 1800’s, and the many old statues found throughout the garden add to the garden’s historic charm! Honestly, I enjoyed my time at this garden more than I enjoyed anything on the island of Venice. I highly recommend checking it out!

Absolutely worth the 10€ entry fee! The museum is really well put together, and the free in-browser audio guide is great. The gardens themselves showcase an incredible variety of plants, some iconic, some obscure. Admittedly, not every plant is easily identifiable in the sense that I went around for a while looking for bananas and vanilla, as they were supposed to be present, but never found them. But it doesn't feel like it really took away from the overall experience. Two hours or so well spent.

We had a pleasant visit to the garden and museum. While much of the vegetation looked dry, the plants and trees were well marked and and the gardens contained many large tree specimens with an interesting series of walkways. It wasn’t crowded on a Saturday morning. The museum was a pleasant surprise and had both Italian and English descriptions of the varied scientific exhibits which were fascinating. There was even a WC!

It's 10 euros to enter, which I thought was a bit much. I'm used to botanical gardens being free, but every attraction in the area has a fee. If you are looking for some green space near venice, this is your jam. Two stops away. It has a lovely garden. The greenhouse with a wide array of plants from all over the world is the highlight.

When you visit Padova, you should visit their Botanical Garden. It is the oldest academic botanical garden that is still in its original location, truly historical. Make sure to allot at least half a day to be able to enjoy all parts of the garden.

The botanical garden was a stunning place, and the audio tour made it even better. Do remember to bring ear buds or headphones as it’s the most important part to truly experience the history of the place. With centuries old trees and the history to go with it, it deserves an afternoon of your time (spent approx 2 hours, walking very slowly).

Definitely worth a visit, especially on a rainy day in Padua! The indoor greenhouses are spectacular and feature fun informational videos, and plants from several ecosystems around the globe!

Animal Park Valcorba

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Park
Family-friendly wildlife park, home to around 70 species of animal, with picnic area & playground.
Kids are enjoying so much. Beautiful environment, lovely place to visit there. Staff also very friendly and helpful. But price is i think little bit high like adult 10 above 17 euro and kids under 12 euro

Cash only as they have no connection for a card machine. Nice collection of animals with absolutely stunning black panthers. However they refuse to let younreturn to your car for say a picnic so you either have to carry it round the whole place with you or wait until you leave. It wouldn't be difficult to say stamp your hand or even give you a ticket. This just seems unnecessary inconvenience, especially when there's no cafe or anything more than a few vending machines on site.

Lots under construction at the beginning of the standard itinerary - would be good to have more information on their renovations explaining what's coming. I hope it's bigger enclosures for the big cats... We managed to see them all up super close which was great but probably because enclosures small. In general not a lot of info on the boards of enclosures, some missing, many not in English and would get nice to know where animal came from, if born in captivity, where etc. A bit more behind the scenes insights! Some free little talks would be a nice add in. Nice that there is no restaurant or shops, makes it nicely non commercial and focused on the visit. Nice play park for kids at the end. Would be nice to receive a detailed map upon entering Thank you

The zoo is nice, some windows are so dirty you cannot see through. 😅 unfortunately, when we were there some parts were under construction. Overall, it was a nice experience. The down side is they DO NOT HAVE a restaurant or coffeshop/bar inside their zoo, only some vendingmachines. You must pack you own lunch! (Do not be us, we had to leave earlier because we were starving).

This was a fun experience. The kid had a blast, we had a lot of fun too. It is quite big, it could be better taken care of but since we went right after the lock down I think it was because of that. A lot of different animals!

An amazing, huge park with a lot of different kinds of animals and interesting information on stands. There are many places where you can seat, rest and eat (food you should bring with you). Worth visiting!

The best: not crowded zoo. Animals have a really big space and they seem well care. As they have a lot of space, they can hice easily inside their cages so you may wait a bit until you can see some of them. You can bring your own food to make a picnic inside. No bar inside but there are some bending machines for coffee and snacks.
