Museum
Specialty Museums
Museum Ferrari Maranello is an interactive museum featuring exhibitions, films, and a racing simulator dedicated to the iconic sports car. Galleria Ferrari, the official exhibition center for the history of Ferrari, showcases the evolution of Formula One engines and highlights Shell's contribution to Scuderia Ferrari's success. The museum also hosts a parade of 499Ps through the town center and offers insights into Enzo Ferrari's life at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena.
If you are into car, then this is absolutely a MUST SEE place to go. There are actually 2 museums in Modena, and we went to the smaller one first, but this much larger museum is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and it was WAY more than I or my wife was expecting. I had no idea that it was as big as it is, and can't recommend it enough. There are even interactive displays that you can pay extra for if you want to do them. Definitely go, if you're in the area. It's worth every penny...
Gary C — Google review
We visited the Ferrari Museum in Maranello as a family, and although it’s not the first place you’d imagine bringing a baby, it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We decided to leave the stroller in the car and use our Ergobaby carrier instead, and that was the perfect choice — it gave us full freedom to move around without worrying about stairs or elevators, and our daughter was cozy, calm, and close to us the whole time. The museum itself is spotless, modern, and beautifully designed. From the very first hall, with rows of gleaming red cars under dramatic lighting, we felt immersed in the Ferrari legend. Our little one, still so small, was captivated by the reflections and the bright colors — her eyes kept darting from car to car, and several visitors stopped to smile at her reactions. Those small moments made us feel really welcome, and staff members were also warm and attentive without ever being intrusive. The exhibitions cover both Ferrari’s road cars and its Formula 1 history. On the practical side, the museum worked well with a baby. The restrooms were very clean, though not perfectly equipped for diaper changes, but we managed without trouble. The only real downside for us was the price: tickets are 27€ per adult. For a museum that takes about one to two hours to visit, it feels expensive, and I think a family ticket or a slightly lower entry fee would make the experience more accessible. That’s the only reason I’m giving four stars instead of five, because otherwise it was a truly memorable and surprisingly baby-friendly outing. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Ferrari Museum in Maranello even with a little one. Using a baby carrier made it very easy, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it gave us a special family memory in a place you wouldn’t necessarily expect to be child-friendly. For us, it was worth it — an unforgettable mix of Ferrari’s world and our own new chapter as parents.

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

Santuario Madonna di San Luca is a stunning hilltop Roman Catholic sanctuary church in Bologna, Italy. The baroque-style church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and features a beautiful cupola. Visitors can embark on a scenic CAI trail that starts in Bologna and follows the arcades of San Luca, offering breathtaking views as it passes through Casalecchio and ends in Sasso Marconi at the Ponte di Vizzano.
The road until there on foot is pretty exhausted but that won't really matter when you arrive there. The views over the city are breathtaking, the sanctuary is well preserved, the entry is free and the garden is very beautiful and well maintained. In case you need there is a place where you can top up your water bottle, you will need it until there . The road until there is underneath some columns and the entire road is safe from rain or sun. There is also a paid bus that can take you there, from a private company. Up there there is only one restaurant which is good.

Though I didn't get in as it was already late to get in nor ask for information. The route walking there is mostly for sportive people. The stairs, steep hill walking there made me regret going there but was the most rewarding experience ever seeing the church. A lot if money is needed to maintain it as already peeling off.

Prepare for a long walk and a steep climb - but it’s well worth it for the views and to visit the interior. I didn’t know much about it before visiting, but even though it was a hot day, and there were many many steps - I still enjoyed it. The interior is absolutely beautiful, and it’s very peaceful and serene to sit inside.

It is truly a beautiful and peaceful place to visit. The sanctuary offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for contemplation and reflection.

Beautiful church on top of the Colle Della Guardia hill in Bologna. Its a decent walk to the top under the portion di san luca. There are also 15 religious mysteries to read and view on the way up. The view is also beautiful of.the surrounding hills and towns. We jumped on the hire bikes to get to the bottom, for the start. Highly recommend.

The Portico di San Luca Walk is a stunning and memorable pilgrimage from the heart of Bologna to the Basilica of San Luca, perched atop Colle della Guardia. This unique covered walkway, or portico, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the longest in the world, stretching for almost four kilometers. As you embark on this journey, be prepared for a challenging yet rewarding ascent. The walk begins near Porta Saragozza and is a gradual incline at first. However, it soon becomes a steep climb, making decent footwear an absolute necessity. The path is paved, but the continuous uphill gradient demands sturdy shoes to ensure comfort and stability. The entire portico consists of 666 arches, and while the number of steps isn't officially counted, the sheer length and vertical climb are substantial. This walk is particularly intense in the summer heat, so it's highly recommended to do it early in the morning before the sun is at its peak. Bringing plenty of water is crucial to stay hydrated. Additionally, a small towel for your neck is a wise choice, as you are guaranteed to sweat a lot. The effort is well worth it, as the portico offers not only shelter but also breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and city as you ascend. Reaching the magnificent Basilica of San Luca at the top provides a sense of accomplishment and a truly unforgettable panoramic vista.

If one had to walk all the way up under the cover of the "Cordici" it's a guarantee that if its raining one don't get wet. Cordici is a path build by benefactors made of arches. One should experience this walk and the spectacular view of Bologna.

San Luca is breathtaking in any weather. On foggy days the hill feels wrapped in a soft, magical veil; on sunny days the views open wide and glow. A peaceful, unforgettable walk under the long portico, absolutely not to be missed, especially on a weekend.

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

The Modena Cathedral 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.

Te Palace

Art center
Museums
Te Palace, also known as Palazzo Te, is a captivating example of Italian Mannerism. Constructed between 1524 and 1534 for Federico II Gonzaga, this palace was designed to be a luxurious retreat and entertainment venue. Giulio Romano, a pupil of Raphael, was entrusted with the project and created an architectural masterpiece filled with imaginative and extravagant decorations. The palace features whimsical interiors adorned with erotic frescoes and houses a museum showcasing art and history displays.
This palace by Giulio Romano is rightly world famous. It stands out as an original masterpiece in architecture and painting too. A must see in beautiful Mantova. Don’t miss the view arriving from north of Mantova and see renaissance town just lying d as young of 3 lakes. Just stunning
Gerhard B — Google review
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.
Dmitry — Google review
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.
Giulia B — Google review
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.

Museum

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

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

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.

Along the Mincio River, visitors can enjoy delightful restaurants adorned with vibrant flowers, creating an enchanting atmosphere that makes Borghetto a must-visit location in Italy.

Parco Giardino Sigurtà

Ecological park
Nature & Parks
Parco Giardino Sigurtà is a stunning natural masterpiece that captivates visitors with its serene beauty. Nestled near the historic center of Valeggio sul Mincio, this expansive park spans over 60 hectares and is recognized as one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy and Europe. It features lush green lawns, vibrant flower gardens, and ancient trees that create an enchanting atmosphere.
We visited the park in April, right when the tulips were in bloom. The grounds are large, impeccably kept, and almost surreal. There are several distinct areas—including a farm, a hedge maze, and even a small castle—so you can easily spend a few hours wandering around. Bike rentals are available if you’d rather ride than walk. One tip: we found that tickets purchased through general travel sites were actually cheaper than on the park’s official website.

Parco Giardino Sigurtà is a breathtaking botanical paradise nestled near Lake Garda in Valeggio sul Mincio. A Garden Wonderland Spanning over 60 hectares, this meticulously maintained park offers a vibrant display of nature's beauty, making it one of Italy’s most stunning garden destinations. With highlights like the famous Avenue of Roses, stretching over a kilometer with 30,000 blooming roses, and the enchanting Tulipanomania, a springtime spectacle featuring over a million tulips in bloom. The Labyrinth, scenic water gardens, ancient trees, and serene lily-covered ponds add to the park’s magical charm. Whether you explore by foot, bicycle, or golf cart, Sigurtà invites calm and wonder at every turn. It’s perfect for families, photographers, or anyone seeking peace in a lush, floral setting. A visit here feels like stepping into a living painting — peaceful, colorful, picturesque, and unforgettable.

A beautiful botanical park not far from the southern part of Lake Garda. We visited in early June 2025. The park is lush with greenery, butterflies, and birds. It’s highly recommended to take the small train tour that runs through the park. The ride lasts about 35 minutes and circles the entire park, giving you a sense of its size and helping you decide which areas you'd like to explore on foot. Some of the highlights include a Japanese garden, a plant maze, an herb and butterfly garden, an educational farm, and more. We spent about three wonderful hours there — you could easily spend even more. Be sure to bring a bottle of water, as it can get quite hot during the day, even in June. Convenient parking is available about 250 meters north of the park entrance, in the supermarket parking lot.

Beautiful park and great family outing We went on a family trip to Parco Giardino Sigurtà and had a lovely day. We enjoyed a picnic in the gardens and drove around in a small golf cart, which the kids absolutely loved. The park is stunning and very well maintained – perfect for a relaxing day in nature. It is a bit on the expensive side though; we paid around 720 DKK for one golf cart for 2.5 hours. Highly recommended!
Rasmus M — Google review
Amazing botanical garden, an absolute must see if you are in the area. Good paths to walk on, however, since the park is so big, there's also an option to rent a bike or golfkart. We rented a gokfkart, which is very convenient with small children.

The park itself is beautiful, but €46 for 2 adults and 2 kids is way too much considering the experience. Many attractions were closed, the park felt empty, and there wasn't much to do. It's a nice place to walk around, but with so little open, it should cost no more than €5 per person.

Gardaland Resort is a renowned amusement park located in Castelnuovo del Garda, Verona. Established in 1975, it has gained international recognition and is considered one of the top amusement parks globally. Situated on the shores of Lake Garda, it spans 46 hectares and features a wide array of attractions and themed areas suitable for all ages. The park offers numerous shows daily, themed restaurants, and beautifully landscaped surroundings.
Gardaland Park offers an intense and unforgettable experience for the entire family. As evidenced by the fact that two days were not enough to do everything, the park's enormous size guarantees an endless variety of attractions and activities. ​Convenience and accessibility are the name of the game at Gardaland. Entry is exceptionally fast, and within the park, you’ll find food stalls and restaurants on every corner, so there’s always a place to rest and eat. Additionally, the park is technologically advanced and offers two useful apps: one for easy navigation inside the park and another for downloading photos taken on the rides, which adds to the experience and provides fun souvenirs. ​The variety of attractions is indeed for all ages, but it's important to note that most rides are suited for those 100 cm (3.3 ft) tall and above. Therefore, it's wise to plan accordingly. Even so, the park provides a diverse experience for both parents and children. As mentioned, the most worthwhile option is to purchase tickets directly at the box office. ​In conclusion, Gardaland is a highly recommended destination. It's a very enjoyable experience for parents and children, and it is highly recommended to take two days if possible, to have enough time to enjoy everything this vast place has to offer.

We had an absolutely fabulous day at the Gardaland! You feel like in a fairytale, and all the roller coasters are very exciting! 😍 I recommend going on a (rainy) weekday, so the queues are shorter and you manage to see everything. Feel free to skip the Jumanji Adventure ride though, it’s not quite worth a 40+ minute wait.
Anastasiia K — Google review
Another amazing amusememt park for kids and older as well. Rides get pretty busy with the nice weather, like in every resort. I wish there was a better overview what each ride offers - we waited 90 minutes for Jumanji adventure, which was absolutely no advanture plus it was all in Italian. Other than that, only 4 rides required height over 140, few over 130. Make sure to check these requirements before going. Also, buying tickets outside od the official venue office is cheaper so look for those selling points in the city.

We visited Gardaland on a Wednesday and had an amazing time! 🎢 The waiting time for each ride was less than 15 minutes, which made the whole experience super smooth. The official app showing live queue times was very helpful — it helped us plan our route efficiently and enjoy more rides. The park is clean, beautifully themed, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and organized, and there were plenty of food options and rest areas. Both the kids and adults had a blast — from the thrilling roller coasters to the fun family attractions. Highly recommend visiting on a weekday if possible — short queues, great atmosphere, and so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We left with big smiles and a new fluffy friend. we recommend

I am sure that a family would love this place...my wife and stayed at the Gardaland hotel, and rode the bus to the park in the morning (bus runs every 16 minutes) We love roller coasters and these did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very family friendly and the park is very well cared for (it's clean!) over all a great experience.

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

Piazza delle Erbe is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric squares in all of Italy. Surrounded by elegant palaces, medieval towers, and richly decorated façades, it feels like stepping back in time. The square has been the beating heart of Verona since the Roman era, once serving as the city’s forum, and today it still pulses with life from morning to night. The architecture is breathtaking — from the frescoed façades of the Mazzanti Houses to the Baroque Palazzo Maffei with its statues of classical gods. Every corner seems to tell a story of centuries gone by, blending Roman, medieval, and Renaissance influences seamlessly. That said, it is incredibly crowded, especially during peak hours. Tour groups, market stalls, and cafés all compete for space, so be prepared for a lively (and sometimes overwhelming) atmosphere. Still, even with the crowds, the energy of the square only adds to its charm. If you’re visiting Verona, Piazza delle Erbe is absolutely unmissable. Come early in the morning or later in the evening if you want a quieter experience, but at any time of day, it’s a stunning place to soak in history, architecture, and authentic Italian life.

I truly enjoyed strolling through Piazza delle Erbe, Verona’s oldest square. It’s a vibrant blend of history and daily life—once a Roman forum, now surrounded by medieval buildings, frescoed facades, and lively cafés. The square hosts bustling markets and iconic monuments like the Colonna di San Marco and Fontana di Madonna Verona. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it was a real pleasure to take in all the beautiful historic architecture.
Dr. H — Google review
Piazza delle Erbe is a truly beautiful square. It's lined with a row of stunning buildings, with the most magnificent of all—Palazzo Maffei—standing proudly at one end. In the center, you'll find the impressive Madonna Fountain of Verona and a bustling bazaar full of life. The edges of the square are dotted with charming-looking restaurants, shops and cafés. We didn’t eat there ourselves, though, as the square was quite crowded with fellow tourists. That said, we did find a few quieter corners along the edges, perfect for sitting back and watching people pass by—it was quite entertaining!
Heikki K — Google review
A beautiful square that feels big but still quite cozy. In my opinion, it’s definitely more interesting than the large one by the Arena. From here you’ve got direct access to Juliet’s house, plus plenty of nice restaurants, narrow streets, and cafés all around. The atmosphere is fantastic – you could wander here all day.

Vittoriale degli Italiani

Historical landmark

Vittoriale degli Italiani is the former villa residence of Gabriele d'Annunzio, now a museum housing his memorabilia and featuring an amphitheater in its grounds. The small village of Gardone Riviera boasts elegant structures and monuments that blend harmoniously with the landscape of Lake Garda. The Church of San Nicola and Villa Alba are among the notable attractions in the area.
Visiting Il Vittoriale degli Italiani was an absolutely captivating and unique experience! Stepping into Gabriele D'Annunzio's former residence felt like entering another world, a fascinating blend of art, history, and the eccentric personality of the man himself. The estate is a sprawling masterpiece, meticulously curated with an astonishing array of artifacts, from historical relics and artwork to personal mementos, each telling a story. Wandering through the gardens was a delight, with its tiered landscapes, serene water features, and the surprising presence of the Puglia ship embedded into the hillside! The views of Lake Garda from various points within the Vittoriale are simply breathtaking, adding another layer of magic to the visit. The house itself is a treasure trove of the unusual and the beautiful, offering a truly intimate glimpse into D'Annunzio's life and passions. Every room is filled with intriguing objects and a palpable sense of history. It's not just a museum; it's an immersive journey into the mind and world of a remarkable figure. Il Vittoriale is an unforgettable testament to creativity and a truly special place to explore on Lake Garda.

This is a very cool historical adventure. The tour was worth the ticket price, the grounds are gorgeous, and we had the best time learning about the history of the owner and his life. Make sure you buy tickets at least the day before. And even if they say the tour is only available in Italian, they will provide information in other languages as well. Plan to spend about 3 hours exploring the grounds and touring the house.

Very nice place, but beware, there are LOTS OF STAIRS! So. Many. Stairs. Never-ending stairs. And even more stairs! I do not recommend anyone to try going here with a stroller, although my arm muscles probably doubled in size after lugging our stroller filled with food, drinks, and a one-year-old up and down the million stairs here. But otherwise, definitely well worth the visit, the views are beautiful, photogenic, and seeing a boat in the middle of an Italian hillside is very unusual! It wasn't overcrowded (September Sunday afternoon), and we got our tickets on the spot with no problem (although we didn't go on a tour of the house).

A bit too windy on top and way colder than at the lake but the views were amazing! We could see the lake very well, and the mountains around us. You should definitely go to the top if you’re at Lake Garda! It’s a good spot for paragliding, if you’re interested in that.

The Castle of Malcesine is a medieval fortress located in the picturesque town of Malcesine, Italy. It was built by the powerful Scaligero family from Verona and offers panoramic views of Lake Garda from its tall tower, which dominates the town from a rocky outcrop. The castle also houses a history and natural science museum.
Went here during the week, we bought tickets in advance so had no wait time to get entry. The best piece of this place is the views from the castle out to the lake and surrounding areas and offers some really good photo opportunities especially given the low ticket price. You need to go to the top of the tower but the space does get tighter the higher up you go so expect to wait for people to come down and go up etc. Would go here again.

It is a piece of history and worth a visit just for the view from the tower. There are special exhibitions in the castles main hall. When I was there, it was chanting mother's = video and sound playing mother's from different ethnicity singing lullabies to their babies, quite beautiful. From the tower, you'll get an awesome view of Malcesine and the surrounding areas, including the Garda Lake.

Castello Scaligero di Malcesine is absolutely fantastic and what a superb attraction and place to visit for only just €7.00 per adult. This castle despite from the outside giving the perception of being small, is actually quite spacious once inside with plenty of different levels, rooms, towers and garden areas to explore. Given its age, it is well preserved and its history is very well charted and presented as you work your way through the castle. The information is presented in several languages and incredibly well done as it gets all the key information over without drowning you in extensive detail. This is a spectacular building setting out the historic challenges between Milan and the Venetians. The History of Lake Garda and Malcesine is also documented throughout the different displays. As you’d imagine given its location, the views from the castle and especially the top of the main tower are just great. 360 degree views of the Italian Alps, Malcesine and Lake Garda are there to be enjoyed. It would be criminal to come to Malcesine and not visit Castello Scaligero di Malcesine…. This place is an absolute must and you need to allow circa 2 hours to explore.

Road of 52 Tunnels

Historical landmark
Outdoor Activities
Military route constructed in 1917 around & through an imposing rock face, with steep inclines.
This is a hike on muntains full of history and panoramic views. Absolutely recommend if you have willpower and physical condition for it. Not the easiest hike as first part of hike, about 7+ km up to rifugio Papa is all the way uphill. Some galleries are dark, so you need lamp. We did it with mobile phone flashlight. Also some galleries are steep with some slippery rocky steps, so be careful. We started to climb with 30 degrees heat and took 1 liter of water per person along. We drank it all. Temperature on the top of the mountain was much lower, under 20 degrees. The route back to start was downhill and rather easy 7 km walk by gravel road.

I hiked it at the end of June and it was easy and safe to walk throughout. It's dark inside the tunnels, so a handlamp is necessary. From the path, you can admire some truly wonderful landacapes. I highly recommed it.
Michele F — Google review
A great hike with interesting history and amazing views. I went in early September at around 8am and it was rather busy but never too bad, easy to overtake others as the path was very wide. The path was rocky and unsteady, so good shoes are recommended. It was cool in the tunnels but some portions of the path were fully exposed so sun protection is important too. Pretty much all uphill but worth it. Instead of taking the same path down I went down Strada degli Scarubbi on the other side of the mountain which was slightly longer but much easier on the knees as it was a dirt/gravel trail and also offered great views (including little walks through the forest which was nice). Overall highly recommend. Not particularly difficult, just to try go early if it's hot and go at your own pace.plenty of places to sit at the Refugio or on the mountainside.

Museums
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.

The exterior looks promising but the interior and amount of content is fairly limited. In comparison the much older natural science museum in Bergamo is much more interesting and holds much more specimens. That’s being said, it’s still a good option for a rainy day.

Great place for kids, and adults too. 5 stories of natural/tech entertainment with plenty of interactive activities. You can easily spend 3h there. Booking in advance highly recommended, especially on peak season. Tickets are timeslotted, with entries every 30 mins or so. Tickets is pretty cheap and with family packages options.

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. I love the whole idea and how it was executed. I highly recommend this museum both for children and adults.

Amazing experience for beginners. The river is super clean and water is cold (perfect for hot summers). Our guide Lupa was extremely cordial and friendly, we had a lot of fun with her. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. They even helped us plan our next hikes in the mountains after the rafting. Definitely recommended.

We had an great experience with Trentino Wild!! We practiced in an training raft and they explained the steps very clearly. Had great interactions with all of the guides while we raced down the river. But our guide "carlo" was definitely the best, we made an great team. It was so much fun, some adrenaline and wet shoes. The river was wild but not too wild, the water was nice and cool (we even went for an swim) Overall great experience!! Thanks Carlo!!

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.

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!

South Tyrol Archeological Museum

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Archaeological museum

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 .

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.

It is of rare beauty, once you get there you will want to come back every year. The focal point is Ortisei, an earthly paradise. From Ortisei you can take the cable car and go up to a place where you can see all the mountain peaks in the area, it is something special. The languages ​​spoken in the area are German and less Italian, but you can also manage with English. The food is very good as a result of the combination of the above.

Val Gardena for ski is in my top3 in Europe (been to 5 resorts in Dolomites, 3 in Val di Sole, 2 in Austrian Tirol, 3 in Aosta…) - why? You have all the options: long trails like Gardenissima (6km), La Longia (8km acc to my watch), Cir etc. You have shorter runs in Sassolungo part of the resort. You have difficult runs as well as long gentle easy ones. You have everything + one of the most beautiful scenery you can imagine, Sella massif, Sassolungo massif, Seceda, incredible Seceda. Visited few times but always before season in December and no crowds. The only negative- train connecting Seceda part to Sassolungo part is not always reliable. This place every ski person needs to visit at least once ina lifetime

From the moment you arrive in this stunning region, you're greeted by a sense of tranquility and natural wonder that's hard to match. The towering peaks of the Dolomites serve as a dramatic backdrop to the picturesque villages that dot the landscape. Val Gardena's villages, including Ortisei, Selva di Val Gardena, and Santa Cristina, exude a warm and inviting atmosphere. The traditional Tyrolean architecture blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature, creating a sense of harmony that is both comforting and awe-inspiring. For outdoor enthusiasts, Val Gardena is a dream come true. The region offers a plethora of hiking trails that cater to all levels of experience, allowing you to explore the lush valleys, serene meadows, and challenging mountain paths. In the winter, the area transforms into a winter wonderland, offering world-class skiing and snowboarding opportunities that draw enthusiasts from around the globe. The local cuisine is a delightful journey for your taste buds. Traditional dishes made from locally sourced ingredients provide a true taste of the region, and dining in one of the charming mountain huts is an experience not to be missed. What sets Val Gardena apart, however, is its unique blend of nature, culture, and hospitality. The warmth of the locals, their rich traditions, and the harmonious coexistence with the natural world create an ambiance that's as unforgettable as the breathtaking landscapes themselves. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a cultural escape, Val Gardena delivers on all fronts. It's a destination that invites you to disconnect from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of the Dolomites.

Well, if you have some time this abbey is absolutely worth a visit, as it is truly a little jewel. You can visit it all calmly in about 1h30m, in fact it is not very large, but every room will fascinate you! However, I didn't find the price fair, as it costs 12€ for adults and 6€ for students/65+. In my personal opinion, a religious place shouldn't cost that much. However, I recommend visiting it during the spring months, as the botanical garden is also open, to be paid separately...

Surrounded by a nature park and towering peaks, the castle provides scenic views of the stunning mountain scenery.
Really cool medieval castle full of history, scenic views, and relics. We happened to show up right before the start of a tour. The tours are only offered in German and Italian. We grouped up with the Italian your being that we speak Spanish. They do give you an English handout which has some of the tour details. Most of the tour info is included in the handout. Regardless, our tour guide took the time to give us some tidbits in English during the tour. We were grateful to have Margarita as our guide. This place was super cool with so many things to see. Unfortunately for us, it was closing time right after our tour. Make sure you come a bit early to be able to see the rest of the exhibitions and visit the gift shop. And lastly, don't forget to leave a tip at the end of the tour. Enjoy y'all!

Nice... one of the 400 castles in South Tyrol. Visitable with guided tours in german or italian. Big but not sup big castle yet the tour takes you through 20 rooms and displays castle life fom the middle ages to 1800s. Cool.

Really cool medieval castle with informational plaques in German, Italian, and English. Guided tours are on the hour in German and Italian and are the only way to go into the rooms. If you choose the courtyard tour (€7), you still get a very cool experience walking up the tower and see great views of the valley. Definitely worth checking out if you have an hour or so! The walk from the bus station felt more like a hike and there’s construction on the roads currently (may 2024) forcing us to walk on gravel and mud.

Great small Castle to visit. Park your car in town, enjoy the walk to the castle and join a guided tour. The castle might not be as big as others, but the guided tour and the well equipped rooms (original furniture, books, etc.) make it worth while. Take your time exploring the castle, some areas are not part of the guided tour, but still accessible, such as the tower, the garden, kitchen and the old ice cellar. Afterwards there is a small restaurant nearby, where you can enjoy a good meal and a perfect view over the Ahrntal region.

1hour tour with a great guide (It, Ger, Eng), check the opening hours first, many websites are incorrect as Google. Also dont trust googlemaps with 15min walk from downtown Campo Tures, as the road is quite steep once oit of the town. That said add 10mins for quick walk or 15mins for sights. Or take a car just bellow the castle with 90min free parking. The castle dates back to 12th century with lots of remodeling but keeps its stone look. On the tour you will get to see about 10chambers, courtyard, tower, catwalk. Well kept wooden interiors, amazing library and decorations. Nice views to the valley. Good way to spend 90min walking trip once in the region. Review of 4stars as 5stars belong to Ducal Palace in Venice :) enjoy. 10€ adult

Historical landmark
Museums
The Golden Roof is a renowned Gothic oriel in Innsbruck, adorned with 2657 fire-gilt copper tiles that give it its name. Originally built for Emperor Maximilian and his wife to observe events below, it now houses a museum chronicling Innsbruck's history. The exterior is particularly impressive, featuring murals and intricate designs, while the museum offers an insightful look into the city's past.
The Goldenes Dachl or Golden Roof is a landmark structure located in the Old Town part of Innsbruck, Austria. It is a famous plaza of the city. This was completed in 1500 century. It was decorated with 2,000 plus copper tiles for the Emperor at that time. The Emperor and his wife used the balcony to observe festivals, tournaments, dancing, and other events that took place in the plaza below. Up to this day, the plaza is being used for basking, dancing, and events. It's us a nice walk around the plaza with the varieties of shops.

The golden roof of Innsbruck is a fun little thing to see and is in a beautiful part of the old town. There’s lots of good shopping and restaurants around here that make for a fun outing or a good walk from your hotel. It’s worth seeing this too since it’s an iconic part of Innsbruck.

The Golden Roof in Innsbruck is a captivating sight! Its shimmering gold tiles make it a stunning backdrop for photos, especially under sunlight. A perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and soaking in the historic charm of the old town. A must-visit for unforgettable memories.

A beautiful city with stunning mountain views. The cityscape is always set against a backdrop of mountains, which makes it truly picturesque. Everything is very charming, with plenty of restaurants and shops all around.

The Golden Roof is Innsbruck’s most famous landmark, a late Gothic balcony built in 1500 for Emperor Maximilian I and decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles. It’s an impressive piece of history and a symbol of the city, though the small size can feel a bit underwhelming compared to its fame. Worth a look while wandering the Old Town, especially for the historical significance, but don’t expect a grand spectacle.

The Golden Roof is a landmark located in the old town. It is the most famous symbol of the city. The roof, completed in 1500, was decorated with 2,657 gilded copper tiles for Emperor Maximilian I to commemorate his marriage to Bianca Maria Sforza. The emperor and his wife watched various events from the balcony. Unfortunately, due to the height, it is not possible to see the details more clearly.

The entry to the museum is free with the Innsbruck card. So I went in to take a look... It wasn't much. But provided some relief from the scorching sun. You have to go upstairs.

Each building on the street is so defined and colorful that you can almost miss this one with the golden roof built for the Emperor so he could view the street and tournaments. Nevertheless it’s gorgeous. There’s a small museum inside but I didn’t go in. There is so much to see on the street across from this Goldenes Dachl that you become distracted with the sheer art that these two streets are.

Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen

Mentioned on 
23 lists 
Mountain cable car
Transportation
Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen Betriebs GmbH (Nordkette) is a modern transportation system connecting Innsbruck with Hungerburg, designed by Zaha Hadid. The cable car ride offers a scenic 20-minute journey to the Nordkette, showcasing breathtaking views of Innsbruck and its surrounding mountain landscapes.
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! The Nordkette Cable Car is like riding straight into a postcard. 🚡 You start right in the heart of Innsbruck, glide up on the Hungerburg funicular, hop on the Seegrubenbahn, and before you know it you’re soaring over alpine meadows and jagged peaks. The final stretch to Hafelekar feels like you’re being lifted to the edge of the sky — and the views at the top? Absolutely jaw-dropping. 🌍✨ The ride itself is smooth, the cabins are clean, and the staff are friendly. Pro tip: go on a clear day — you’ll see the whole city spread out below and snow-capped peaks stretching forever. Bring a camera and a jacket, because even in summer it’s chilly at the top! Whether you want to hike, snap a million photos, or just sip a drink with the most epic backdrop imaginable, this is a must-do in Innsbruck. Worth every cent and then some.

Value for money if you go during happy hours. Even if you don’t find tickets online, just go there and they will apply the discount of 20% during happy hours. We went around 4 PM and I think it is perfect timing. Very little rush in funicular, cable cars (there are 2) , view point and also in the cafe/restaurant.
Jaydeep T — Google review
Great visit. A total of two sets is cable car takes you to the top location. The views are splendid. Allow approx. 3 hours for the complete trip.

Amazing thing to do when you want to escape the heat in the city on a hot cloudless day! Cable car and gondola can be packed. Getting tickets online is a good idea. It’s not cheap but the views totally worth it!

I came here in March 2025 I had a brilliant time going to The Top Of Innsbruck. Exciting travel up the mountain. Short but sweet walks. Brilliant views. Food and drink options. A very fun climb to the top. wait time for cable cars is usually not too bad.
Joe S — Google review
The queuing time was quite long here to go up even in January. It seems reasonably priced until you workout the price of the cable car to go right to the top and then it is pretty expensive. The ride halfway up on the funicular is pretty fast, the trains are modern and you do get great views. When you get halfway there is a great viewing platform and you can see right across the city of innsbruck even as far as the ski jump
Dean H — Google review
Fantastic experience with 3 different cable cars getting you to the top. The lines were relatively long (wait time between 10-25 mins) but the views and the hikes you are offered are second to none. Recommend using the Welcome Card you get from your hotel in Innsbruck to buy tickets for the cable car in person (we got 20% off).
Yuliya W — Google review
An excellent way to see the top of Innsbruck! The station is clean and well maintained, and the ticketing system was clear. This is the first station for the rail car, then there are two more cable cars to reach the top station. The entire journey takes maybe 30 minutes if you time it correctly.

Krimml Waterfalls

Mentioned on 
24 lists 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Krimml Waterfalls, the tallest waterfall in Europe, cascades 380 meters down a forested mountainside and offers a picturesque walking path. The well-known waterfall trail provides stunning views of the rushing waters as visitors descend on the opposite side of the falls. Along this path, there are viewing balconies offering fantastic vantage points.
Worth visiting, and the entrance fee is not expensive (€9 for adults, half that for children). Although the trail is well maintained, I recommend wearing good sneakers and a waterproof jacket, as you will definitely get wet if you want to see the waterfall up close from the viewing terraces. It’s definitely worth going a few kilometers further to the mountain lodge, where they serve excellent food at reasonable prices.
Ivana V — Google review
The waterfalls were beautiful, but the hike itself is quite challenging, with only steep paths. Along the way there are several viewpoints where you can enjoy stunning views of the falls, but the view from the top was actually a bit disappointing. Reaching the top is more about the feeling of accomplishment than the view itself. It’s a very touristy spot, with several nice souvenir shops to browse.
Larissa V — Google review
A beautiful place worth visiting, suitable for young and old, but you should wear heavy clothes because the weather is cold. Although it was July, the weather was still quite cold, and I recommend wearing a waterproof jacket and comfortable athletic shoes.

The most beautiful waterfall I ever saw in my life! Try to visit during sunny day, so you can see multiple Rainbow 🤩 There is a hike to the top of the fall, we reached mid way ( kiosk ) and it think this is the most scenic part
Kate G — Google review
Waterfalls are spectacular! So many great views and places where you can almost touch them. Wish to had more time to explore Krimml trails on the top of the waterfalls.
Łukasz B — Google review
One of the best activities to do in that area, the entrance was easy either by cash or card automatic machines, the hike is clean but not easy, the slopes are harsh in some places so better ready. Keep moving and you’ll find yourself in an ooen space with the sound of the waterfalls sit relax and enjoy
Hassan M — Google review
Breathtaking waterfall with amazing views at every level. Well-marked trails, fresh alpine air, and the sound of rushing water make it unforgettable. A must-see in Austria! Entry 9 euro per person and 🅿️ also payable and easy to allocate near the entrance 🅿️ 4&5

On our journey from Sell am See to Tirol we took the scenic mountain pass to stop off at Europe’s largest waterfall. Despite being height of summer season we could still easily park and make our way to the falls. The route is well made. No need for walking boots. We didn’t get all the way to the top - we stopped at about half way. Some great photos of the fall and the landscape.

Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Neues Schloss Herrenchiemsee, located on the Herreninsel in Chiemsee, was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria and modeled after Versailles. The palace, which began construction in 1878, is a grand homage to absolutist monarchy. Despite being intended as a residence for the king, he spent only 10 days there and was rarely seen. The palace's design reflects Ludwig's romantic obsessions and vivid imagination.
Absolutely stunning Castle built by King Ludwig II located on a beautiful island in Bavaria. The palace tour we took was amazing. Our tour was in English and our guide was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of the castle. She was very friendly and spoke perfect English. The castle rooms were spectacular. The two bedrooms are out of this world in terms of its decor. It is amazing that 2/3 of this castle are still not completed. King Ludwig barely stayed here before he died. The castle grounds are perfectly manicured. Several beautiful fountains. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the outdoors. The walk around the grounds was very peaceful. We took the train from the main train station and the boat across to the castle. We had a perfect day out and loved our visit. Highly recommend visiting this majestic castle.

Spectacular visit to this Schloss -- really needs half a day. The ferry ride across the See is pleasant and calm, the breezes are refreshing on a warm summer day. Great to learn the history and experience the charm of this beautiful setting.

Fabulous palace on an island in Lake Chiemsee. This is a great place to see the extravagance of Ludwig II. It offers a peak into his obsession with French royalty and his lavish tastes. The palace and gardens are fantastic. (No photos allowed inside, which is a bummer.)
Alex L — Google review
Magnificent, and rich interiors. If the king hadn't lived in his dream project for more than a handful days, so does it not deserve to be visited more than once in my life time. Palace guided Tour is about 40 minutes. No photography allowed strictly! This is what I didn't like the most. It's worth the hype and not worth the hype at the same time. Museum is also interesting visit

Palace looks big, but only 1/3 of it was finished and is available for visitors. Removing 1 star for a strict no-pictures policy. The mountain view is beautiful ❤️

Lake Helen Kim Palace is a magnificent palace modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France. It is a Baroque building. In winter, flocks of geese and ducks graze on the lake, and strolling through the woods on the island offers stunning views of the vibrant autumn foliage.

You have to buy entry Ticket to see the interior Palace with a guide. Taking picture inside of d palace it's not allowed, just outside it's possible. You have to pay extra when u need to go to the 🚻 & it was not cheap!
Rosa S — Google review
This is a really pretty palace and a great history lesson for people who don’t know much about kind Ludwig II. The palace itself is whacky and lavish and the gardens, fountains, and exterior are beautiful and scenic. The island has some great walking paths and is a fun outing. The boat there and back also has pretty views and runs fairly consistently. Keep in mind that the price of the boat and the palace entrance/tour are a separate price, the palace ticket does give you access to quite a bit though. The only reason it’s a 4 star review is that you can’t take pictures inside the palace which is a little disappointing but not a huge deal. Overall this is a great stop but does take some time.
