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.

I saw about 60 people, maybe as it was so hot? Prices are not worth the detour. Clean and secure though, some nice eateries

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

No better place for a Sunday after 5 PM! The outlet near Florence is the perfect spot to spend a relaxed Sunday evening. After 5 PM, the crowds thin out, making it ideal for browsing top designer stores without stress.

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

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

Wow… amazing place. Just the experience of this place is spectacular Local hotels/hosts might have discounts for this place.. ask in reception

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

Great outlet center with good prices and huge parking

Love this place. A lot of high end brands with great prices. Good placed to eat too.

Castel Guelfo The Style Outlets is a fantastic shopping destination! The selection of brands is impressive, offering great deals on quality products. The outlet is clean, well-organized, and easy to navigate. Plenty of parking and good food options make the experience even better. Staff are friendly and helpful, creating a pleasant shopping atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone looking for stylish bargains!

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!

Recently visited this outlet village, it’s quite peaceful and clean. There are some of the famous brands which are commonly not available. Recommended

Great selection of shops. Prices seemed pretty average, but nice to have a lot of options in one place.

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.

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. The zoo is very green in between woods and they have beautiful animals. Good restaurant too. It was very spontaneous to go there for us, but we enjoyed ourselves. We were in there for ±5h including long lunch at the restaurant.

A cute and old but well kept zoo! With a restaurant bar and little ice cream stand and playground area!

The zoo is very nice and well-maintained, with nice paths. Absolutely recommend this.

The zoo was clean and nice for visitors but some of the enclosures were too small for the animals

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

Visiting during Christmas as just like you own this place! No tourist. Only few people hanging around in the perfect weather. The church is really interesting inside with no fee to entrance.

Enchanting Piazza - criss crossed many times for few days got to see different shades of beauty every time. Peaceful, warm with lovely heritage around.

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

Its cute and nice. Its a minute walk from centre but its so quiet. Very italian. Very beautiful. The piazza in front is good if u just want to chill. Very glowy also

Beautiful Piazza with loads of restaurants. Safe but can be noisy late into the night on Weekends.

Great place, Must see in Bologna. Seven churches - free admission, journey through ages. Square itself is a place to greet and fest graduations. Fun to observe.

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

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

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

97m tall tower build in year 1119. Still standing 👍 At this moment the inside is closed. The smaller tower is really lean strongly to the side.

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.

Absolutely beautiful tourist attraction, a lot of history. Unfortunately climbing up wasnt an option as it got closed when I went to visit a week ago.

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.

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.

The piazza is truly a beautiful place to visit, showcasing stunning architecture. Throughout the square, one can feel the weight of history, which is quite impressive. The feeling of being surrounded by such a historic setting is an unforgettable experience. The piazza offers a unique and immersive journey into the past. Overall, it's a truly remarkable destination.

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.

Such an amazing piazza with lots to see. The duomo, the statue, the tower and many on. Also if you are looking for the 7 secrets of bologna, one of them is here. The whispering walls. Its a funny and weird experience and you should definitely try it

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

Beautiful big piazza in the heart of Bologna. The Basilica is also in the square which is also worth visiting. It has the longest indoor meridian in the world, dating back to the 1600's.

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

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

Riding the funicolare to the top of the mountain is totally worth it!! While you are up there- explore the small medieval village! The view is fabulous! 👍❤️

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

This was a really nice experience. If your in this region of Italy, then you must try it

A lovely little ride up/down the mountain in a historic funicular car. The cost for a round-trip/return ticket is €7.50, and the cars run on the hour and half-hour until midnight (see the attached schedule). Walking up the Alto is quite a trek (I did it and was certainly out of breath by the top), so save yourself the trouble and take this!

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful architecture and a splendid collection of old musical instruments. All visits are guided, helping a lot in understanding the incredible and mysterious history of the place. Highly recommended.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

A stunning tribute to Enzo Ferrari’s legacy. The architecture alone is breathtaking—modern yet deeply respectful of history. The vintage car displays are beautifully lit and curated, and the multimedia storytelling brought tears to my eyes. Even if you’re not a car enthusiast, this museum is a celebration of passion, innovation, and Italian elegance.

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.

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.

Amazing display, emotional atmosphere with very rare hyper cars. Allow 1.5 hours for a proper visit of both buildings. Parking can be found most days on the surrounding streets.

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.

Very interesting Roman cathedral in Modena. Stone and sculptures outside, bricks inside, darkness and simplicity of Roman pure architecture. Some remarkable sculptures and tombs inside.

One of the most impressive cathedrals I have seen in my life. The architecture is amazing the murals of stunning in the use of marble is unique giving a wet all liquid form to the stone.

Unique cathedral protected by UNESCO. To visit the first floor a 2 Euros contribution is recommended. There's a sarcophagus with the sacred bones of Saint Geminianus. Definitely a place worth of visiting.

This is well worth it visit, you can get half way up the tower and this gives you a very good view of the city around the tower, very interested information is available as you climb.

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.

Beautiful building, but most charming was the little chapel inside

The Modena Cathedral is a breathtaking Gothic landmark and a true symbol of the city. Its towering presence and intricate details make a lasting impression. Stepping inside, you immediately feel the weight of history in the dimly lit, atmospheric interior. The beautifully sculpted decorations and grand arches add to its majesty, while the adjacent Ghirlandina Tower completes the stunning scene. Whether you love architecture or just want to experience Modena’s essence, this cathedral is a must-see.

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.

Huge recommendation for this place. Loved the view and the track to get on top (it's just "20" minutes and the only tough spot lasts for like 20 meters very close to the top). It's easy for adults and children.

Beautiful little spot, only takes 20 minutes to reach the top and once you do you can have a nice walk around the summit.

Great place. I had to take an hour nap after the trip but it was deffinitelly worth it.

Very beautiful, simple climb

Have you heard what happened on Pietra di Bismantowa today?

It’s a relatively new station, high speed trains connect Reggio Emilia to both North and South but it’s based a little out of the city. Has some bars, free public bathrooms and parking place. Overall a nice station.

A STUNNING PIECE OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE. IT LOOKS LIKE A GIANT WAVELENGTH. A RAILWAY STATION THAT LOOKS MORE AKIN TO JAPAN THAN NORTHERN ITALY.

Service at the TrenItalia desk was very good. The train station is clean and bright and my experience on the FrescaRosa to Milan was outstanding.

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.

Feel like not in Italy.

If you're coming to take photos, beware that the car park is under construction so this will obstruct some exterior photos. I still got 70% of the photos I wanted

Lots of parking, reasonably easy access, ok services (pretty depressing selection of sandwiches at the bar), free toilets, easy to access platforms.

Lots of neat artwork, but what you get to see for the €15 entry pales in comparison the the Ducal Palace complex including the San Giorgio castle (same entry fee) and museums. It was neat to check out, but if you only have time or funds for one, this is not the better choice considering offerings options and price. But it sure is worth stroll thru if you are here and interested. Different style of artwork than a lot we saw around there. Don't forget the grotto before you leave!

This is the palace built by the royal family of Mantua, as a palace of leisure, now a museum. It is richly decorated with frescoes, including those by Giulio Romano. My favorite room was The Hall of the Giants alhough others were also quite beautiful. There is a good audioguide in English and other languages.

Palazzo Te is a stunning example of Italian Mannerist architecture and a must-see for art and history lovers. Built in the 16th century by Giulio Romano for Federico II Gonzaga, it’s both elegant and eccentric. The highlight is the Sala dei Giganti, where dramatic frescoes engulf visitors in a collapsing world of myth. The palace’s playful illusions and masterful fresco work make it feel more like a theatrical experience than a museum. While it’s not massive, the artistry is unforgettable. A unique gem in Mantua that blends grandeur with creative flair.

A gorgeous piece of history that is still standing today. Seeing Palazzo Te transports you back in time, and feels as though you’re in a dream. We visited the wonderful November 2023 exhibition, and the place was in pristine condition. The infamous Sala dei Giganti e Sala dei Cavalli are not to be missed! Staff are extremely kind, and like all other museums in Italy, they offer discounts for students, elderly people and children.

Great garden. The palace is not very big but has interesting rooms to see. Most of them were too provocative for mine taste of art but all of them were made with grace and detailed. The sun and the moon was my favourite . It was very shocking for me that every place in Montova has different working hours in every day of the week. So if you are planning to visit definitely take the working hours map from the info point.

A place to visit with a guide that can tell you all the secrets behind the artworks you’ll see not only the epic stories that inspired the works , every room and every image has a story you’ll miss

Very impressive palace with water and a garden. Our tour guide Simone was a lovely and hilarious addition to the experience. The palace's rooms offer a very diverse selection of decorations, some of the frescoes make you wonder what kind of orgies they were celebrating. If you're planning to open a queer club, go here for inspiration!

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.

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.

Didn’t expect much, but ended up really enjoying this muzeum. The castle itsef is amazing, very nice and well preserved frescoes. A lot of different items on display, everything from sea shells, crocodiles, greek and roman sculptures, to weapons. Nice place for kids :)

Very nice and extensive palace, so big that you can get lost ( or out of energy). A must if you travel in Mantova.

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.

Very impressive, so beautiful that hard to describe in words.❤️

Breathtaking architecture, just like so many other places in wonderful Italy.

Basilica di Sant'Andrea in Mantua is a stunning church with an impressive façade and a beautifully decorated interior. It’s especially known for housing a relic said to contain the blood of Christ. The architecture is grand yet inviting and stepping inside feels like walking into a piece of Renaissance history. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town!

Soul soothing and fulfilling. A feast for the mind and eyes just being in here. I personally prefer visiting churches compared to the Museums or Art galleries - it is usually free of charge, a lot less people and I get to relish their beautiful and unprecedented work of art and architecture. Treasure all around and above - It is best done sitting on one of the long pews and simply look up. There are a staggering collection of beauty and religious significance here. "Do not judge a book by its cover" it is a place that is unassuming on the outside but absolutely phenomenal inside and dominates over the Piazza Mantegna. Here preserves the greatest relic of Christianity: the Sacred Vessels containing the blood of Christ.

Free entry, but don't let that fool you. If you want the church to be lightened up for better vision you need to pay. Beautiful, details in painting and sculpture but open up your spiritual eyes and look at all the demonic signs and symbols of the freemasons.

Absolutely breathtaking place! If there's something in Mantova you shouldn't miss, it's this gorgeous colorful basilica. Especially the paintings are extraordinary! The entry is free, just make sure not to visit during the long lunch break.

We were lucky to find a guide who told us the story of this magnificent church and its relics. It gave us the goosebumps. The trip in the crypt was awesome and a first for us, so we were really impressed. Clearly you need faith to believe all the stories, but they are nevertheless beautiful. I also loved the paintings inside and all the decorations, but especially the gothic part of this otherwise Renaissance monument. Go inside!

Hard to find anything for free nowadays! This church was unreal!! I have been to the Sistine Chapel and it was really nice but so crowded and honestly hard to see most of it with really long line ups. This place was painted at the same time in the 1500 and looks so perfect! All free with no lineups !! If you're looking for paintings and beautiful art then you have to make the trip to Parma , pulse the food is way better!!!!!

Simply stunning. Don't miss the cathedral and baptistery if you travel via Parma, a real gem. Tickets for baptistery and museum can be purchased from museum, and cathedral entry is free.

The Cattedrale di Parma is absolutely breathtaking. The artwork painted on the walls and ceilings is some of the most extraordinary we have ever seen anywhere in the world, and we have traveled all over Europe. Every detail is magnificent, and standing inside feels like stepping into a masterpiece. We are here in Parma from the US for a month and loving every moment of this city, but the cathedral is truly unforgettable and a must-see.

Beautiful cathedral with stunning frescoes inside. Peaceful spot to take in some history and art right in the heart of Parma.

One of the moat beautiful churches I have ever visided with immense scale and beautiful paintings. It is open and free for the public and it is a miat if you visit Parma.

This cathedral wows you immediately as soon as you walk in. It’s magical, the pictures on the ceiling and walls, the marble work together with wood work in sculptures and inside balconies, simply incredible. No words to describe it, you must visit the Cathedral.

The church is opened every day from 7.45 am to 7.20pm ! Free entry ! The cathedral is dedicated to Virgin Mary! The interior is shaped on a Latin cross! Very impressive church

The landmark of Parma. Simply magnificent. Tickets 12 Euro per adult, available at the museum opposite of the Baptistery, across the square (allows visiting also the museum). Pictures and movies are allowed inside, that was not the case a few years back.

Remarkable building with a gigantic Baptist bath in the centre and plenty of colourful religious paintings on walls and ceilings plus some interesting sculptures on the walls. Somewhat overpriced but definitely worth visiting.

The Parme baptistery is opened every day 10am - 6pm! Tickets included the baptistery and the museum ! Inside is amazing ! So beautiful ! This octogonal baptistery is certainly the most outstanding example of transition from Romanesque to Gothic art ! Worth the visit

Awesome frescos and sculptures. You have to purchase an admission ticket across the square at the diocese museum for 12 euros.

Amazing ceiling and frescoes. Not a big building but a striking one and the frescoes inside are definitely worth a look.

The Battistero di Parma is an architectural gem and one of the most significant landmarks in the city, renowned for its stunning Romanesque design and historical importance. Located next to the Cathedral of Parma, this baptistery is a must-visit for anyone interested in art, history, or architecture. As one of the oldest and most important religious structures in Parma, the Battistero is also a spiritual site, providing visitors with a sense of awe and reverence. Whether you are there to admire the art, learn about its history, or simply experience the peaceful atmosphere, the Battistero di Parma is an unforgettable destination.

Very interesting, worth a visit, is probably one of the best of the Parma historic sights. Very well documented frescoes.

Teatro Farnese is absolutely breathtaking; one of the most remarkable spaces I’ve ever stepped into. Built entirely of wood in the early 1600s, it feels like a time capsule of Baroque grandeur. The scale is massive, yet the warm tones of the timber give it an almost intimate atmosphere. Standing in the arena, you can feel the weight of history and spectacle that once unfolded here. It’s hard to believe it survived (and was rebuilt after WWII damage), but that only adds to its mystique. A must-see for lovers of architecture, theater, or anyone who appreciates the rare magic of a place that feels truly one of a kind.

My wife and I spent a full month in Parma and out of everything we saw across Italy, Teatro Farnese was by far one of the most breathtaking places we visited. Walking inside feels like stepping back in time. The entire theater is made of wood and when the light shines through the upper windows it gives the space a warm golden glow that pictures can never capture. The history makes it even more special. It was built in the early 1600s for the Dukes of Parma and later destroyed during World War II. What you see today was carefully rebuilt using the same original design and materials. You can feel the care and craftsmanship that went into every detail. Standing in the center of the theater surrounded by rows of wood seating is a moment that stays with you. It is quiet and grand all at once and you can almost imagine the performances that once filled the space. If you are visiting Parma, do not miss it. Teatro Farnese is absolutely spectacular and one of the true treasures of Italy.

Wonderful and quiet teatro farnese was beautiful welcoming . Between my broken Italian and little English from staff, we were shown the way around so as to not miss anything. Great two hours of wonderful architecture and paintings the library was one of the best I have seen. The grand wooden theatre is amazing you smell the wood as you approach. Wonderfully taken care of.

the main masterpiece of Ranuccio's time is the Farnese Theatre. You will definitely not see anything like it anywhere else. A huge theatre from the beginning of the 17th century... made of wood! A unique landmark. In fact, there are similar theatres, the Olimpico in Vicenza and the Antica in Sabbioneta, the architect of Parma used them as models. But the theatre in Parma is larger.

Great musuem, so much to see. Many rooms and floors. Was a great addition to our day in Parma

The most incredible theatre I have ever seen. It was renovated a few years ago in the early 2000. It's like ab old Roman theatre and the minute you walk in you will smell the aroma from all of the wooden beams that hold up and make up this incredible structure. The theatre is part of the greater Palazzo Della Pilotta complex. Your €16 ticket gives you access to the Library, Theatre, Archeological museum and the gallery. There are some great models on display as well as Roman ruins. Your theatre visit will likely be short like ours, 30 mins is all you need but it will leave you in awe. It was like stepping back in time on an old movie set. It really is remarkable. Highly recommended

One of a kind! A definit must see if you visit Parma!

Very bad state of preservation; ugly exterior and garden. Admission price too high. Fotos are forbidden: an unfair discrimination against honest amateur photographers, given that there are dozens of (stolen?) candid shots in the internet. Very bad.

Remarkable palace. We took a guided tour which was in Italian, but English handout was available. Tour guide was great and able to answer questions in English.

Fantastic frescoes seen on a guided tour that lasted over an hour with a helpfulĺ and knowledgeable guide. It's a private palace that should not be missed.

Beautiful. It's an actual palace in a small Midvale town. Very unique and definitely worth a visit

Perfection ! A must to see and discover ...

Top !

His okay with the message of God almighty amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This area is worth a visit there are plenty of bars in the village one shop we found at the top of the hill there is a free art gallery. Churches of course and 2 museums , archaeological and the castle there is a joint ticket entry for 7 euros the climb up To the top of the castle tower provided a stunning view,the rest less interesting

Stunning hilltop castle nestled in a medieval Italian borgo. The entry fee is minimal and the photos you can take alone are worth the price. The history is also quite interesting. Worth the trip.

It was a great opportunity to visit what still stands of an old castle. Tons of stairs to get to the top. Not a real lot to see. But glad I did it. Not for anyone with issues with heights. I was lucky to do this when no one else was in the building. If you are pressed for time may be worth just checking out the town instead.

Came here to spend a few hours, to see the castle and the other sights and some walk. The whole small medieval town is a sight for itself. We parked down in the village and walk the hill up to the castle. Beautiful buildings and architecture all the way up. And on top of course the castle, the tower and many other sights. As well as a small park with some nice views. The town dates back to the 8th Century, but it believed to be even older. The castle itself (the "Borgo") was build in 1342, while the nearby church "Santa Maria Assunta" dates back to the 11th Century. Then there's the Palazzo del Podestà and the Bell tower and other notable buildings up there in the castle area. It was also the filming location of "Ladyhawke" starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. We came here on a sunday, there were some visitors, but we expected a lot more, free parking available down in the village as well. A really wonderful old town worth visiting. We didn't expect much, since we really didn't know much about the place, but were really impressed by this beautiful town.

Full of bourgeoisie with expensive cars who live in the castle. But beautiful view from the castle and also museum of Italian history and culture.

Well worth a visit to this medieval castle, beautiful buildings and view

Quite and very authentic medieval town. With local food and super views. Here starts Apenino so many possibilities to trekking. Good place to try piacentino cuisine, specific for Emilia Romagnia

The water park is not bad, we have been going here for more than 4 years, but this year the fee has become too high! First you have to pay more than 20 euros for a ticket, then for a sun lounger (or you will be forced to stay on the wet grass), for a safe locker also 4 euro , for parking another 4 euros. if you need warm water in the shower or a hairdryer, there is also an additional charge for this. Add to all this cost the cost of water during the day, coffee, snacks and in the end - 100 euros per day per couple. As for me , it is too high price. Also notice that on the weekends there are long lines to get an inflatable ring for slides, have to wait about 20-30 minutes.

It was nice, clean and prices as any other aquapark.. however there is very little for adults to do. This is child orioented and compared to other aqua parks in europe its small. But also price was ok in comparison

Le Vele – Unfortunately, a huge disappointment!!! We visited Le Vele hoping for a fun family day, but it turned into a frustrating and unpleasant experience. The park was overcrowded with school trips and summer camps. Teenagers were left without supervision, cutting in lines, being loud and rude – and lifeguards did absolutely nothing to manage the chaos. To make things worse, both of my sons had their water shoes stolen. One pair was found in another area by chance, the other never recovered. The only positive moment came thanks to Veronika and Aurora from the reception, who were kind, understanding and helped by giving one of my sons a spare pair of flip-flops. We're very grateful to them! Overall, the park may look appealing online, but in reality it is poorly managed, lacks safety, and offers a stressful experience. Not recommended for families. There are much better water parks in the area.

Staff is very friendly and nice. Park is great clean and no long lines to wait. Very cool slides.

I think this aquapark is so bad. Life guards don't care about ANY People in the pool. Nobody Cares about your items (somebody stole my slippers that are 60€). Huge line to the pool, and to the slides. And very expensive tickets.

Awesome whater park, cool slides, very clean and the staff very friendly. Recomend 100%.

Alton Towers for water lovers. Amazing fun and very reasonably priced.

Getting caught up on reviews/pics from out trip to Italy in May/June 2024. What an amazing castle! The owner/family still lives there, but has opened the castle for tours. The history of the castle goes back some 1500 years. It’s on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River, in the province of Piacenza, Italy. Many of the rooms in the castle are “as is”… as they have been for centuries. So much history there, from prisoners to royal guests from all over Europe. It really is a very cool place to visit, good for families as well!

Would be a great trip but if you are not Italian, the tour guides are extremely inhospitable and rude. They do not try to hide their xenophobia. In certain rooms they refuse to speak anything but Italian, and they will not make eye contact with anyone who does not. We were dismissed quickly and the visit was not worth the money. I agree with other reviews, the staff make this a must-miss and unpleasant experience.

This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.

gorgeous ancient castle. had a lovely visit, a historian took us to see some of the rooms although the family still lives there. I particularly appreciated the 17th century games and toys and the armours hall.

The location is timeless and absolutely gorgeous! The food was really really good with a great service! Absolutely delighted by the fabulous lunch that we had!

Magnificent stronghold. Well maintained and with a simply great static display of uniforms and weapons. Competent guide illustrated all castle secrets

Nice place to visit. Unfortunately the castle was closed when we arrived here but we had a very good lunch in this area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Beautiful bridge

A highlight of Lodi!

The Tempio Civico della Beata Vergine Incoronata, also known as the Sanctuary of the Incoronata, is a Catholic church in Lodi, Lombardy, Italy, and a masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance art. Origins: The temple was built starting in 1488, following reported miracles in 1487, when a fresco of the Virgin Mary on a brothel’s facade in Via Incoronata (formerly Contrada Lomellini) allegedly wept during a fight. This prompted the citizens of Lodi to construct a civic temple dedicated to the Crowned Virgin. Civic Significance: The term "Civico" (municipal) reflects its ownership by the Lodi commune, not the diocese, as it was funded and promoted by citizens and local authorities, symbolizing civic pride and devotion. Construction: Designed by Giovanni Battagio, a pupil of Bramante, construction began on May 29, 1488. Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono took over in 1489, completing the dome by 1491, and Lorenzo Maggi finished the bell tower in 1503. The facade was completed in 1879 by Alfonsino Truzzi.

Best.

Built in 1488 by Dolcebuono who was a pupil of Bramante. Decorated by Amadeo. Well worth a visit.

Very beautiful place

(Translated by Google) A small sanctuary in Lodi located near the cathedral, construction began in 1488 and is one of the greatest masterpieces of the Lombard Renaissance. It has an octagonal plan and is richly decorated with frescoes and works of art. It belongs to the municipality because its creation stems from a citizen initiative. (Original) Piccolo santuario a Lodi situato vicino alla cattedrale, edificato a partire dal 1488, è uno dei maggiori capolavori del rinascimentale lombardo. È a pianta ottagonale ed è ricchissimo di decorazioni, affreschi e opere d'arte. È di appartenenza comunale perché la sua nascita deriva da un'iniziativa cittadina.

(Translated by Google) The church, built between 1488 and 1494 based on a design by Giovanni Battaggio, is one of Lombardy's most astonishing Renaissance jewels. It is called a civic temple because it was commissioned and financed by the Lodi community, in recognition of the strong popular devotion to the miraculous image housed there. The octagonal plan, a symbol of perfection and rebirth, houses a fully decorated interior, a true Baroque-Renaissance treasure trove overflowing with paintings, sculptures, frescoes, and stuccoes created by the greatest Lombard artists of the 16th and 17th centuries. The works are truly numerous: rather than listing them, the motto here applies: "not to describe, but to contemplate." (Original) La chiesa, edificata tra il 1488 e il 1494 su progetto di Giovanni Battaggio, è uno dei gioielli rinascimentali più sorprendenti della Lombardia. È detto tempio civico perché voluto e finanziato dalla comunità lodigiana, riconoscente per la forte devozione popolare legata all’immagine miracolosa che vi era custodita. La pianta ottagonale, simbolo di perfezione e rinascita, accoglie un interno interamente decorato, un vero scrigno barocco-rinascimentale traboccante di tele, sculture, affreschi e stucchi realizzati dai maggiori artisti lombardi tra Cinque e Seicento. Le opere sono davvero numerosissime: più che elencarle, qui vale il motto “non si descrive, si contempla”.

Great place for younger children, height limits on some rides (105cm & 120cm) so worth keeping this in mind before you visit. Was a hot June day, plenty of wet areas to cool down but they are a bit manic so need to supervise young ones Bought our tickets in advance, and walked right in Food was responsibly priced, and the pizza I had was really good!

Nice place for younger children that want to experience rides. However, we were bit disappointed about Thomas the train been on service on that day so we couldn't experience it. We were waiting for it and after asking to one of the staff members we discovered that wasn't operating. Was a quite day so we didn't experience any queue. I don' t think is worth waiting 45min or more for a ride on peak season. Overall was a nice experience, my son had so much fun and had the possibility to experience different rides that he never tried before

Definitely interesting if you have kids and a spare day near Milan, though underwhelming if you’ve been to other parcs in Europe/US. It’s really geared to young kids, teenagers and up would quickly get bored. The parc itself is small but spacious, and clean. The only downside is the access roads; whover design the last couple of kms of entrance to the olace must have truly hated the parc (or people in general). Expect to waste about 30’ sitting in the car from the moment you see the entrance sign at a distance till you actually cross it

Great for little kids. Very crowded. Service is amazing. Paid parking (7 Euro). Very clean.

Unfortunately they have beit's becoming a place where the crowds exceed the livability just to pursuit profit. The ambience is actually well done and plenty of services. But you'll easily spend more time queuing (average 20 mins) instead of enjoying carousel.

We enjoyed so much me and my friends specialy on boat ride last photo

We loved it.. very nice place and good for toddlers.. the rides start for children from the length of 90cm and there are many for that age.. there is an aquario and rettilario which made it more interesting.. there is a mini Italia and it very nice too..
