Porto Istana Beach

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Porto Istana Beach is situated near Murta Maria, south of Olbia, and can be accessed through a bus service from Olbia. It boasts white sand and emerald waters that are crystal clear with visible fish swimming between feet. The beach has minimal waves, making it an ideal spot to relax. However, during August the beach gets exceptionally crowded, so advance booking is necessary for front sunbeds. Nevertheless, the view of beautiful mountains in the background compensates for this inconvenience.
Dreamy place. Amazing sand beach without rocks. Sometimes yatches park nearby and they can be quite loud. You can access via the shore; there is a nice trekking path, or via car. Note spaces are limited to park, and bet during summer it gets very crowded. They rent umbrellas, chairs, and there are different sort of restaurants : cantones nearby. Amazing view. Amazing color of water.
Misak B — Google review
An amazing beach that offers you fine sand, clear water and the best view you can have. We went with our beach towels and it was crowded. We hunted the spots so we can stay. I suggest to come in the morning to catch good spots because the beach is a little one.

Very beautiful beach with christle clear water. Amazing view. Free beach but parking is very little complicated
Tenzin T — Google review
Stunning beach, crystal water, good parking options. Busy, as you’d expect so be prepared to get cosy with other beach goers. Will deffo visit again, superb!
Al B — Google review
The water was crystal clear, one of the best we've ever been in. It's a truly wonderful experience, especially if you walk a bit further down the beach. Compared to the first section, it wasn't very crowded, and even where we rented sun loungers, no one was swimming. Because we arrived in September, two sun loungers and an umbrella at the front cost 30 euros. Kayak is also available for rent in the section where we stayed, and you can go kayak for an hour for 25 euros.
Burak K — Google review
Amazing sea… You have to come here! You can park your car nearby the way for free, then walk 10-15 minutes. The cheapest sunbeds are €40 in September, but there are also free areas. If you don’t have an umbrella, just find a tree for shade and enjoy this amazing sea all day long.

Nice two beaches next to each other, easily accessible. Parking 2 euros and hour

Nice beach but unfortunately very crowded. You will have to be lucky to par nearby, even in September. Also take for granted you will be laying close to others as there is simply not enough place for all the visitors.

Beach

Capriccioli Beach (East) is a charming and picturesque cove with a sandy shoreline, clear waters, and beautiful reddish granite rocks that protect the beach from stronger waves. It's a smaller but super beautiful and peaceful beach, making it a favorite among visitors. The stunning crystal-clear waters make it perfect for soaking up the sun or taking a dip. This beach is also known for being great for snorkeling due to its small size and stunning surroundings.
Very nice beach, parking is literally a 1min walk away from it. The beach club in front of it only opens during the peak season.
On P — Google review
We enjoy this beach. It is on the smaller side paying parking lot walking distance. We were here before the summer not as crowded. Beautiful clear water, there is a beach club walking distance for drinks food and more $$$-$$$$. If you need to use the restroom they do charge $1 Euro for to use it unless you eat at the drink bar or rent the lounge and umbrellas. This beach is good for couples, somewhat families with older children. The only downside the constant annoyance of beach sellers.
Pellon L — Google review
Amazing water for snorkeling and swimming; gets busy and crowded very quickly. The Best time is early morning. Parking is not too big, so if you come after 9.30, you might not find a car parking space. There is a small beach on the left hand side and two beaches on the opposite side. It’s very nice and definitely worth visiting!
Nadine S — Google review
Visited in october, after 5 p.m. so we found the place to park the car (first hour is ~2.55€/h) the beach is small but cozy, smooth sand and clear water

Beautiful beach that can get crowded fast since there are small bays. Clear and clean water, as most beaches in Sardinia. Parking nearby is 1,50€ per hour and payment is required until Oct 31st.

Spiaggia Poltu Di Li Cogghj

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Spiaggia Poltu Di Li Cogghj, also known as Spiaggia del Principe, is a stunning beach nestled in a small cove with clear, blue waters and tranquil views. It was named after Prince Karim Aga Khan who favored this spot. The crescent of sand is backed by lush cliffs and adorned with large pink granite rocks. The water ranges from aquamarine to cobalt blue, making it perfect for snorkeling.
We loved Spiaggia del Principe. The best beach in our opinion, if you are looking to get away from near by beach clubs noise and civilization. There is a dirt road parking lot and it is about 8-10 minutes walk to the beach access via a dirt pathway with some level of inclines at least 1/3 of the way. Not recommended for people with hiking issues or down and up partial steep hiking. But once you get there is worthwhile!❤️
Pellon L — Google review
The beach is stunning itself, but be aware that it is tiny, has no public toilets or showers, and has a barely alive food and drinks track—definitely not worth the time and climbing effort to get there. Parking is available for a fee, some free spots by the road
Анастасія К — Google review
The beach is nice - it’s really beautiful with turquoise water, the sand is white and soft and clean. It takes around 10 mins of easy walk from the parking. Alternatively, a tuk tuk service is available but no reason to use it unless you have trouble moving around. This beach gets really crowded though so the best time to visit is early morning or late in the evening. Parking is likely also problematic in the peak hours. The swimming area is pretty wide but the large part of is it really shallow. There were also a bunch of seagulls which was not so nice. Water was on the colder side at the end of August. Overall I can recommend this one, it’s one of those more popular ones due to the easier access and not an exceptional gem but it’s still good and beautiful.

Small, very very beautiful beach. For my taste, too small and too crowded even in September. Recommended.

What a lovely surprise!! It is a bit of a hike to get to the beach, but it is worth every step. It is a paradise with white sand and crystal-clear blue water, just spectacular.
Carole V — Google review
Spiaggia Poltu Di Li Cogghj is beautiful! There’s parking available, and it’s about a 10–15 minute hike to get there. It does get crowded, but the crystal-clear water makes it worth it. There are also people walking around selling hats and towels on the beach, which I personally found a bit annoying.

Bonifacio and also the whole south of Corsica are to be seen and experienced in every way. We chose the right place to do it because our holiday in the apartment "Faro di Capo Testa" in the fantastic Bonifacio was just as we wished. The apartment is a tastefully decorated jewel in an extraordinary location in the old downtown of Bonifacio and very well located to reach the key points, restaurants and shops of the town. Although the streets are always full of days and nights, the apartment is very quiet and we really got a good rest each day. A small balcony, overlooking a small square, invites you to have an aperitif in the open air watching the people passing by and admiring the white cliffs located exactly in front of the apartment. The landscape from this point is simply breathtaking and one the best of the town. The cleanliness of the apartment deserves a good 10. Meticulous in every detail detail, Federica has managed to make our stay in Bonifacio a really pleasant and unforgettable experience. She was always very professional and helpful in her advices both before and during our stay. Highly recommended with all 5 * * * * ____________________________________ Bonifacio ma anche tutto il sud della Corsica sono da vedere e da vivere in tutti i sensi. Noi abbiamo scelto il posto giusto per farlo perché le nostre vacanze presso l'appartamento "Faro di Capo testa" nella fantastica Bonifacio sono state proprio come le volevamo. L’appartamento è un piccolo gioiello arredato con buon gusto in una posizione straordinaria di Bonifacio e comoda a tutti i servizi di Bonifacio come ristoranti e negozi. Anche se le strade sono sempre affollate di giorni e di sera, l'appartamento è veramente silenzioso. Un balconcino, che si affaccia su una piazzetta, invita a prendere un aperitivo all'aperto guardando la gente che passa e ammirando le falesie bianche. Il passaggio da questo punto è mozzafiato e uno dei più belli della città. Merita un bel 10 la pulizia dell'appartamento. Attenta ad ogni dettaglio, Federica ha saputo rendere il nostro soggiorno a Bonifacio una esperienza veramente piacevole ed indimenticabile. Molto professionale e disponibile sia prima che durante tutto il soggiorno.

(Translated by Google) At the end of July we stayed in Bonifacio for a week in the beautiful apartment 'Aifari'. We were warmly welcomed by the host Federica, who gave us all the useful information regarding the available facilities: wifi, washing machine, dishwasher, TV, air conditioning, etc. The apartment, located in the most beautiful town in Corsica for us, is equipped with everything. It has excellent air conditioning and the authentic French shutters protect well from the sun. The location in the upper town of Bonifacio is sublime with views of the chalk cliffs, terraces, restaurants, authentic gems galore. Next to the apartment is the Bastion along which a beautiful promenade leads to the port. Fortunately, to go up you can use the tourist train, which was easy for us. We had a great week in Bonifacio and Federica will definitely see us again!!

Plage de Santa Giulia

Outdoor Activities
Beaches
Santa Giulia Beach is a popular swimming spot located in a bay with clear, shallow waters and pristine white sand. The beach is adorned with huge red granite rocks and offers easy access, making it perfect for families. Surrounded by lush countryside, the translucent waters are calm and ideal for children to swim. Additionally, the nearby treeline provides plenty of shade.
NOT THE ONE AND ONLY, but definitely ONE OF THE BEST. Why? Heaven on earth, just too many people. Other than that, simply stunning ❤️ Powdery white sandy beaches with crystal clear water like in the best Caribbean places in the world. There is everything available for entertainment that you could think of, from bars, to beach clubs, to restaurants and hotels to gadgets of any kind. COME EARLY to get a good spot on the beach. Beach clubs are between 35-60 per person and mostly fully booked with waiting lists. SNORKELING is just great there. The water is safe and mostly shallow. We spotted a ton of fish from small to medium, starfishes, and even various STINGRAYS. a dream come true for anyone with kids. PARKING is easy if you go to a beach club. Otherwise use dedicated private parking for EUR 8.-, which is fair for a spot in high demand like this one. There is a ton of things more to say, however better just try for yourself or put in a question as a comment. Have fun.
Alexander F — Google review
Absolutely stunning beach , the water is crystal clear and the backdrop of tees around the bay is glorious. Some fabulous beaches bars too. We recommend La Plage and Le Fort. The downside is it gets super busy in peak season. If you have to go in August go early morning, if you are lucky enough to go late September, you will be in paradise !
Lyndele F — Google review
Lovely beach, but very crowded and the parking costs 20€ 🤨. Also some places full of seagrass. But water is clean, no big waves.
Alesia G — Google review
A bit crowded, but nice water and actual sand. I don't like jetskies or parasailing, makes the natural experience bad. I liked the good bars on the beach to have lunch.
Arne Z — Google review
The beach consists of a long narrow strip of fine clean sand (between 10m and 30m in width), skirting a bay of very shallow clear water which extends at least 50 m from the shoreline. The setting is hardly spectacular but the peninsula making up the South side of the bay provides a pretty backdrop. On a fine sunny weekday afternoon towards the end of September the beach was busy, but not oppressively so. All the usual water sports/activities were available and the beach is also a drop-off/pick-up point for cruises along the coast. Various bars - none very special - are dotted along the central part of the beach, closest to the parking areas. Was it quiet or romantic : no, would it be a fine place for small children to paddle in the water : emphatically yes. In line with the reports from other reviewers, I can easily imagine that it would be an absolute zoo in July and August.
Simon B — Google review
Great beach in the south of Corsica. Very overrated in my opinion. Very expensive ar park, flat rate 10 pounds. A lot of bars on the beach which kind of ruins the experience. It can be quite crowded as well. Clean water lovely views. Great for kids.

Palombaggia is a stunning beach located in the southeast of Corsica, known for its clear waters and white sand. The area offers various water activities such as diving, jet skiing, and sailing sports. It serves as an ideal starting point for excursions and cruises to nearby beaches like Cerbicales Islands and Bay of Santa Giula.
This beach is pretty hyped up around here, but to be honest, it didn't really blow us away. You'll definitely find at least four bars and restaurants nearby, so there's no shortage of places to grab a bite or a drink. The beach itself varies in width along its stretch, so whether you're looking for a cozy spot or a wider area to lay out a bit further from the water, you’ve got options. If you're just in the mood for a quick beer, a drink, or maybe some ice cream for the kids, I'd really recommend hitting up the smaller stands tucked away near the trees close to the big hotels or standalone restaurants. Prices there are seriously like half of what you’d pay at the bigger spots.

Beautiful clean water, with some parts more crowded than others. Parking for free is tricky, better either choose a beachclub if you plan to eat anyways (parking fees will be deducted), or there are large cheap parkings at the north eastern end.

A must see in the south of Corsica. When we went it was raining but the sea water was still warm. Easy access, cheap parking and lovely bar on the beach. Overall a great beach.

Best plage 🏝️👌 If you come to the south of Corsica, be sure to go to this beach
Luka L — Google review
Great beach, turquoise water and it was not crowded but parking is ridiculously expensive, 35 eur for 5 hours on the beach or in best case 11.20 eur for 4 hours. And then you have to walk 600 meters downhill and coming back to the car is a real training. There is one bar and one restaurant with prices for Space tourism

I went there very much at the end of the season. No problem parking plenty of place on the beach. Temperature was perfect for me. Could still get a drink. I appreciate others may have different experiences if they go in July or August but has to be one of the most stunning beaches in France.

Wonderful sand beach with convenient parking. Came at around 11 in the morning and it was not a problem to park car in the shade of pine trees. And parking is free! Beach itself goes alongside, walk further and it will not be crowded at all. Crystal clear and shallow water, stones to make insta pics, bars everything is there! The best beach for us visited in Corsica! Recommended!!!

Corsica Ferries Bastia

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Ferry service
Transportation
Corsica Ferries Bastia is a popular destination in the north of Corsica, strategically important for its proximity to mainland France and Italy. The city offers a delightful atmosphere with numerous cafes, restaurants, and colorful streets. It's also a great spot for mountain biking enthusiasts due to its breathtaking scenery between seas and mountains.
Excellent boat, very modern, service no delays, efficient and friendly staff.
Rob S — Google review
I was looking forward to our six and a half hour journey from Bastia to Nice on Corsica Ferries, but I must admit it turned out to be a terrible experience. The staff were extremely unhelpful and miserable. It was as if they were being made to work and didn't want to. Their attitude was abysmal. The food, which I expect to be expensive on a ferry, truly was expensive with a 500ml bottle of still water costing €2.90. The music on the sundeck was far too loud and someone somewhere kept flicking from track to track part way through a song. The dreadful music is not necessary in this day and age where passengers can choose to listen to what they like on their smartphones. All in all I'm glad I won't be travelling with Corsica ferries ever again.

The worst crossing ever with this company on Mega Express 5. The personnel were unprofessional and unhelpful. The smell of sewage throughout the accommodation was overpowering. The staff in the Gusto restaurant overcharged for drinks and refused to reimburse the difference. No more than theft. They refused to call a supervisor when requested. The vessel is old and in very poor condition. Flooring is filthy, cabin in need of repair and the structure on the car decks showing signs of cracks.
Gordon F — Google review
My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected. My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

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

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

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

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

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

Tower of Pisa

Mentioned on 
+131 other lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
The Tower of Pisa, also known as Torre Pendente di Pisa, is a stunning 14th-century structure in Italy that has gained worldwide fame for its distinctive lean. The tower originally leaned at a dramatic angle of 5.5 degrees but extensive restoration work has reduced the lean to less than 4.0 degrees.
This was an amazing experience as one of the marvels of the world. To see this building leaning in its original form after centuries as it stands. The site has been well preserved. The line to go up the top was relatively short for an attraction in Italy. During the winter when I came the weather is cool in the morning but perfect by midday especially to stand in lines.
Cheryl J — Google review
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most iconic and fascinating landmarks in the world a true symbol of Italy’s charm and history. Seeing it in person is an incredible experience; its famous tilt is even more striking and impressive than photos can capture. The white marble gleams beautifully under the sun, and the detailed Romanesque architecture is simply stunning. Climbing to the top is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend the spiral staircase, you can actually feel the tower’s tilt, which adds a sense of adventure and wonder. Once at the top, the panoramic view of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape is breathtaking. The tower is part of the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), surrounded by other magnificent monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery, all of which are worth exploring. The area has a lively, joyful atmosphere with cafés, souvenir shops, and green lawns perfect for photos and relaxing. Whether you come for history, architecture, or just the fun of taking the classic “holding up the tower” photo, the Leaning Tower of Pisa never disappoints. It’s a place full of charm, beauty, and a sense of wonder that makes every visit truly special.
Lg G — Google review
Iconic, Beautiful, and Worth the Hype (Visited in September 2025) I visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa in September 2025, and it was every bit as impressive as I hoped. Seeing it in person — slightly tilted yet perfectly balanced — was surreal. The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for walking around the Piazza dei Miracoli and taking photos without feeling rushed. Climbing the tower was an unforgettable experience. The marble steps are worn and slanted from centuries of use, and as you ascend, you can actually feel the lean — it’s both thrilling and slightly dizzying! The view from the top is absolutely worth it, offering panoramic views of Pisa and the surrounding Tuscan landscape. The area can be busy with tourists, but if you go early in the morning or later in the afternoon, it’s much quieter. The cathedral and baptistery nearby are also stunning and definitely worth exploring. Overall: A must-see once in your lifetime. The Leaning Tower of Pisa isn’t just a famous landmark — it’s a masterpiece of history, architecture, and human perseverance.

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

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

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

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Cattedrale di Pisa, also known as the Cathedral of Pisa or Santa Maria Assunta, is a grand marble-striped cathedral famous for its ornate Romanesque bronze doors and a carved 1300s pulpit. Initially built as the freestanding bell tower for the nearby Duomo di Pisa, it began to lean due to unstable soil during construction in the 12th century.
After visiting Cathedral of Florence i was very surprised by interior decoration here. Very rich and beautiful in comparison to Florence. Spent more than 40min here to admire every detail. Paintings, statues, woodwork, mosaics, frescos, everything in superb condition like it wasn't build 900 years ago. Very pleasant surprise. It was beautifully restored in 2018.

Nestled in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, Antro del Corchia Levigliani is a captivating cave system renowned for its striking stalactites and dramatic lava formations. Accessible via a bus ride from the nearby ticket office, this off-the-beaten-path attraction offers guided tours lasting around 2-2.5 hours, providing an opportunity to explore its fascinating interior filled with intricate stalactites and serene lakes.
Beautiful cave. The tour guide always took the time to explain everything in English as well even though only me and my family didn't speak Italian. Make sure to bring a warm sweater and long pants!
Eszter B — Google review
If you want to visit the cave I would recommend to book the tour in advance or at least call them up the day before. We arrived to the town where the information desk was at 12:00 and were informed the last group had already left on the bus to see the cave at 11:00. For some reason, they had they last guided tour at 11am, which was extremely strange and there was no info on their website that said that prior reservation was required. It took us an hour to get to the place, so we were obviously a little disappointed. It could have been a great experience, but alas. Make your reservation ahead of time!
Eugenia — Google review
This is out of the beaten path attraction. You park near the ticket office and reach the cave by a bus (included in the tickets). You can only enter with a guided tour of about 2-2.5 hours. You can combine it with a 45 minute tour to the mercury mine nearby. Not all guides are fluent in English, but you can check this with the park by emails (and reserve a spot). There is a small kiosk at the cave entrance.

The guide knew was he was talking about. There is no more audioguide for non Italian speakers. The guide will do both language, which is a considerate and good thing. The downside is we sometimes couldn't hear because we were too far behind. There is not much time to appreciate the last part of the cave since we must follow the group. Overall it was still a nice experience

The most beautiful and unique experience I gave ever had. Was able to visit many Cinque Terre cities/villages such as Corniglia, Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Manarola and more. All these villages are typical of the area. They have a beach, sit on the rock and have beautiful views over the Mediterranean sea. You can get the Cinque Terre Pass for 1 day at 19€ and the pass includes unlimited Regionale train between villages.

Cinque Terre Hiking Itinerary – Classic Route with Practical Tips. It’s known to have been the inspiration for the animated film LUCA (Disney) 📍 Start: Monterosso al Mare 🏁 Finish: Riomaggiore (or return based on your accommodation) ⸻ 🥾 Recommended Full-Day Itinerary • This route connects all five iconic villages, combining hiking and train options. Perfect for an active day, but be warned, this is not a simple seaside stroll like some tourists imagine! ⸻ 1️⃣ Monterosso al Mare • Start early in the morning to avoid strong heat. • Wide beach, relaxed vibe. ➡️ Hike to Vernazza – approximately 1h30 – 2h, stunning but demanding trail. ⚠️ Important: ✔️ Expect many stairs, steep ascents, and descents. ✔️ Long sections with no shade, direct sun exposure. ✔️ Proper hiking shoes are a must – we saw people in flip-flops or beach sandals, totally unprepared. Not recommended! 💧 Hydration is crucial, bring enough water, especially in warm weather. ⸻ 2️⃣ Vernazza • Probably the most photogenic village. • Small harbor, narrow streets, perfect for a break or some gelato. ➡️ Hike Vernazza – Corniglia, 1h30 – 2h. • Similarly demanding trail with elevation changes and sunny sections. ⸻ 3️⃣ Corniglia • Village perched on a cliff, no direct beach access. • Climb the Scalinata Lardarina (370 steps) or take the local shuttle bus. • Quieter atmosphere, ideal for a coffee break. ➡️ Options: ✔️ You can continue hiking to Manarola, but the trail is often closed or challenging. ✔️ A good idea can be to take the train to Manarola, especially if it’s hot. ⸻ 4️⃣ Manarola • Romantic, famous for sunsets and local wines. • Perfect dinner spot with a sea view. We had a great dinner at Tony’s, stunning view and perfect seafood. ➡️ Via dell’Amore trail Manarola – Riomaggiore: • Entrance fee is 10 €/person. It’s. It included in the Cinque Terre Train Card as we though. :) • Easy, scenic walk with stunning views. • If you don’t want to pay, taking the train is a quick alternative. ⸻ 5️⃣ Riomaggiore • Charming harbor, rocky beach, steep narrow streets. • Great for a final stop or sunset photos. ➡️ Return by train to La Spezia or Monterosso. ⸻ 🍇 Insider Tips from Real Experience: ✔️ Be ready for lots of stairs and uneven terrain. ✔️ The sun can be brutal on long exposed stretches, especially midday. ✔️ Stopping at bars or small terraces in the vineyards, like we did, is perfect to rest – amazing views, a glass of local wine or a cold lemonade makes all the difference. ✔️ Don’t underestimate the trail – it’s accessible, but requires basic fitness and proper footwear. ⸻ 🎟️ Tickets & Logistics: • If you plan multiple train rides between the villages, get the Cinque Terre Train Card. • If you only need 1–2 rides, single tickets are enough.

Le Cinque Terre are beautiful to see and can also be relaxing, especially for people who live in the city and relish some fresh air by the sea or enjoy panoramic walks. Nevertheless, the villages are thronged with tourists virtually all year round, making them crowded and extremely commercial. The locals have exploited the situation by inflating prices and included ridiculous tarrifs where not necessary. This is especially true for the famous Via del Amore between Rio Maggiore and Manarola: the price for the walk is €10 - understandable for the extensive works done on the path, BUT this price only applies IF you have already obtained the Cinque Terre pass at a minimum added value of €7.50. Another letdown is with the famously colourful buildings, so vibrant and lively in pictures, but actually mostly ill-kept and in need of maintenance. Do visit these places, as they are all equally charming and picturesque, but their tag is on the expensive and touristy side.

A wonderful place for hiking, though it’s pretty challenging in places; especially if you show up in the middle of a heatwave, as we did. Lovely villages (especially Vernazza and Monterosso) and terrific coastal views to enjoy. We found that being based at nearby La Spezia was cheaper, convenient, and a little more ‘authentic’…..Levanto would probably work, too.

Great way to see/visit Cinque Terre. Take a small boat tour out of La Spezia, easiest to book online. Our 7 hour day trip included 2 swimming stops, 1-1/2 hour stop for lunch in one of the villages, knowledgeable tour captain, and snacks and drinks on our boat. We went in late May and paid 135 euros/person.

I spent two days here, which wasn't enough time, but it's all I had. We managed two hikes and really enjoyed it. Take lots of water with you and some electrolytes if you can! We did manage to see all 5 towns and La Spezia too. Lots of good food and gelato!

Ponte del Diavolo is a stunning place-full of history, mystery, and breathtaking views. Whether you’re interested in medieval architecture or just want to enjoy a peaceful walk surrounded by nature, it’s truly worth a visit.

A historical and beautiful bridge right on the side of the road in the mountains. If you're in or around Lucca and planning to see some mountains and nature, I'd recommend having a quick stop at Ponte della Maddalena. Parking is easy on the east/right side of the Bridge. Not too crowded when visiting in the middle of the day. If you're also looking for a pitstop or a quick lunch, three small osterias/restaurants are right next to the bridge.
Frederik H — Google review
The Devil’s Bridge is an absolute marvel of architecture — a structure that feels both timeless and awe-inspiring. The craftsmanship is remarkable, and standing on it, you can’t help but admire the ingenuity that went into building something so bold in such a dramatic setting. What makes it truly special, though, is the feeling when you reach the top. The view opens up around you, and for a moment it’s as if you’re standing at the very top of the world. There’s a mix of exhilaration and serenity that makes the experience unforgettable. Whether you’re drawn by history, architecture, or simply the promise of a breathtaking view, the Devil’s Bridge delivers on all fronts. It’s one of those rare places where the journey up is just as memorable as the sight from the top.

Castle of Bardi

Castle
Museums
Centuries-old, hilltop castle with history & archaeological displays, guided tours & valley views.
A beautifully preserved fortress perched high above the valley. From the Piazza, in front of the church in Bardi, one takes a walk down the quaint main street towards the castle. Once down the magnificent structure towers above. Keeping to the left, climb up, through the gates and onto the courtyard area. It affords wonderful views and also has exhibits of artefacts through the centuries. Well worth a visit.

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.

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!

Ponte Gobbo - Hunchbacked Bridge

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Hiking area
Ponte Gobbo, also known as the Hunchbacked Bridge, is a landmark bridge with a rich history dating back to Roman times. Rebuilt in the 17th century, it features an irregular up and down path and is characterized by its humpback structure supported by eleven stone arches of different height and width. This iconic bridge is a symbol of Bobbio town and is closely linked to the legend of Saint Columbanus and the Devil.
Not only have I been staying in Italy’s most beautiful village (2019). Bobbio is located in the heart of Val Trebbia, a valley described by Ernest Hemingway as "the most beautiful in the world". I discovered last night: “Historians have speculated that Bobbio was the town in which Leonardo da Vinci completed the Mona Lisa. Carla Glori in December 2011 has published her book Enigma Leonardo:decifrazioni e scoperte where the background of the portrait has been identified as the landscape of Bobbio.
Rob S — Google review
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.
Miak O — Google review
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!

Cowboyland is a Wild West-themed park that offers a variety of activities for families, including rodeos, wagon rides, and cattle-driving shows. It's a small but enjoyable place, especially for families with children under 10. Visitors have found it to be worth the price, offering a relaxing Saturday afternoon experience. The park features a large bar with air conditioning and well-cared-for animals. The staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring that both adults and children have a great time.
We had an amazing time at Cowboyland! The kids had a fantastic day enjoying all the activities, and the park was super manageable for families. The staff were incredibly kind, lovely, and welcoming—plus, everyone spoke English, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun family day out!

Went there with our granddaughter, it's nice and fun for kids, she's waiting to be tall enough to ride a horse instead of the pony she rode, which anyway she enjoyed very much. When you enter they give you coupons for a pony ride and some other attractions. We enjoyed the Gold Mine (did it 3times🥰),and the NEW Chisum House (a 3D show) we enjoyed so much we did it 5 times. Ate at the Ranch restaurant (better book, which I did): exceptional food and good service and the prices are fair enough. We'll certainly go back next year. Congratulations to the park for the improvements.

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

The city of Parma exudes excellence through its charming streets, typical houses, and sunny squares. It boasts sumptuous palaces, fashionable shopping streets, and a ducal legacy that defines the Parmesan style.
Unbelievably beautiful church. The murals are STUNNING - I could have looked at them for hours. Correggio at his absolute best! The building itself is beautiful inside and out.

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!!!!!

Farnese Theater

Mentioned on

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Farnese Theater, located in Parma, Italy, is a remarkable wooden structure within the elegant Ducal Park. Commissioned by Prince Ranuccio I Farnese and designed by Giovanni Battista Aleotti, it was inaugurated in 1628 with a play accompanied by music from Claudio Monteverdi. Today, the theater is part of a cultural complex that includes the National Archaeological Museum and the Academy of Fine Arts of Parma.
Fantastic! Amazing! Not to be missed. A wooden theater inside a palace - hard to imagine without experiencing the location. If you can attend a production there, do! We visited during Verdi Festival in October and enjoyed a performance Monteverdi Madrigals. Another unforgettable night in Parma.
Penny P — Google review
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.
E P — Google review
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.
Scott G — Google review
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.
Allison E — Google review
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
Corey S — Google review
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

Castello di Rivalta

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Rivalta Castle, located just outside of Piacenza in the medieval hamlet of Rivalta-Trebbia, is a privately owned castle that offers tours of its historic rooms and artifacts. The castle, which has a history dating back 1500 years, sits on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River and provides stunning views.
This hotel is very nice and worked well for us since we were traveling on a motorcycle. It rained for the few days we stayed so having the restaurant and lounge on site meant we didn't get wet trying to find a meal or a drink. You can tour the old castle but you will need to book in advance if you need an English guide. Tour packages start at 14 euro person and 35 euro for the English guide that lasts an hour and a half then the tours go up in price and substance after that. If there is one thing I did find quite disappointing was for the price we paid to stay the breakfast was very limited and plain. So if you want quaint and romantic this place is nice. If you're on a budget but are thinking of spending some extra cash to stay here I would say search around the area then come sightseeing. Safe Travels
Allan — Google review
Getting caught up on reviews/pics from out trip to Italy in May/June 2024. What an amazing castle! The owner/family still lives there, but has opened the castle for tours. The history of the castle goes back some 1500 years. It’s on a large hill overlooking the Trebbia River, in the province of Piacenza, Italy. Many of the rooms in the castle are “as is”… as they have been for centuries. So much history there, from prisoners to royal guests from all over Europe. It really is a very cool place to visit, good for families as well!
Jim N — Google review
Would be a great trip but if you are not Italian, the tour guides are extremely inhospitable and rude. They do not try to hide their xenophobia. In certain rooms they refuse to speak anything but Italian, and they will not make eye contact with anyone who does not. We were dismissed quickly and the visit was not worth the money. I agree with other reviews, the staff make this a must-miss and unpleasant experience.
Sara C — Google review
This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.

A nice historical bridge that tells a story despite being rebuilt. The bridge is considered an icon of Pavia and still retains a charm across the river. There are viewing points along the 2-way bridge. In the middle of the bridge, there is a small chapel though it is not always open. Across the river, there is a statue on the left dedicated to the people (often, the ladies) who used to wash clothes along the river.

The Bridge is well worth a visit it's unique I believe it's a rebuild as it was bombed during the 2nd WW but it's great to see lots of people socialising on it .

When reading about Pavia, the Ponte Coperto is mentioned as one of its highlights. While it's definitely not something you see every day, it's also definitely not very picturesque. The bridge is still very much in use and only has narrow sidewalks. The amount of traffic crossing the bridge is huge, so it's a noisy and smelly experience crossing it on foot. View from the bridge is nice, but not spectacular. Been there, seen it, that's it.

This esteemed museum pays homage to the history and craftsmanship of the violin, featuring an impressive assortment of vintage instruments crafted by master luthiers such as Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesu.

It’s a lot of steps to go up the tower but there is something to see on each floor as well as to catch your breath. It is really worth paying to see the tower which includes access to the Baptist part.

The cathedral itself is a must too including the crypt and really a great respite from the heat.

David T — Google review
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.

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.

Parco della Preistoria - Rivolta d'Adda (CR)

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Parco della Preistoria in Rivolta d'Adda (CR) offers a delightful experience for families with young children who are fascinated by dinosaurs. The park features lifelike dinosaur recreations along walking trails that wind through a forested area. Visitors can also enjoy a train ride around the park, with a stop at a playground halfway through the journey.
What a great experience! I took my two children and they both enjoyed the park. We took the train and got off at the half way point. The train ride is about 10/15 minutes and takes you around the park. At the half way point, there is a big playground and children had so much fun. We took a walk, explored the stops along the way and had a blast finding our way through the labyrinth. The walk is a bit tiring for children, but you can find places to stop along the way to take a break. You can also find a botanical garden, a small museum and restaurants/bar.

Prehistory park of over 100 hectares of forest which features 30 reconstructions of prehistoric animals (including prehistoric men), about a hundred animals in semi-freedom, a botanical itinerary with marked plants, natural environments (such as: a marsh, meadows, lakes, etc.), areas equipped for picnic, bars, playgrounds, a labyrinth, fossil exhibits, etc., all along a shaded path.

Nice place for families. The park is an interesting experience if you have children. The tickets are not cheap and I would expect dinosaurs reproductions bigger than that.
Angelo A — Google review
Had a great day 4 hours walking around seeing all the dinosaurs and the live animals. Visited both bars, very friendly staff. Myself, my wife and our dog enjoyed ourselves.
David C — Google review
This park is lovely for a long Spring walk with young kids, especially if they are dinosaurs crazy. The reproductions are good (although not perfect) and they are well spaced out. The bar served good food (although mainly fried) and the service is very fast. The playground is nice and has plenty of benches for the tired parents to sit on. The entry price is a little steep for the local market and it's a shame it does NOT include a ride on the little road train. Foreign families would not find this price that high. Finally, the maze is simple but great for younger children, who will not get lost even if they enter on their own. A nice addition.

Great for a day outside with kids! Nice park, farm animals and dinosaurs make a great combination. I must have been there 15 times, since I was 6 and everytime it's a magical experience.

Good park, the dinosaurus are skatered on a very large a surface, too much walking between dinosaurus... Nice park, but i wouldn't visit it the second time.

this place is lovely, the dinosaurs are not very realistic but that makes it funny, a bit expensive but worth it for a fun day out

Leolandia

Mentioned on 
15 lists 
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Leolandia is a fantastic amusement park that offers a wide range of attractions for both kids and adults. Visitors can enjoy thrilling roller coasters, water rides, and miniature models of famous Italian landmarks. The park is well-maintained with plenty of dining options and restroom facilities. It's recommended to arrive early to avoid crowds, as the waiting times for rides are generally short.
This amusement park is ideal for younger children, offering plenty of gentle, less-scary rides. While the attractions aren’t as elaborate or themed as those at Gardaland or Movieland, they deliver classic amusement-park fun in a well-designed, well-maintained setting. Beyond the rides, the park includes a small farm, a reptile house and aquarium, “Mini-Italy,” and several cheerful playgrounds scattered around the grounds. Buying tickets online in advance will save you money.

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!
Adam B — Google review
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.
Avi N — Google review
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.

Faunistic Park Le Cornelle, located in Valbrembo, is a modern wildlife sanctuary that goes beyond the traditional concept of a zoo. Established in 1981 by Angelo Ferruccio Benedetti, this park focuses on the conservation of endangered species like the majestic white Bengal tiger within naturalistic habitats. Spanning an impressive 100,000 square meters, it houses a diverse array of mammals, birds, and reptiles from around the globe.
Lovely place and the animals were pretty It was calm and very good experience Highly recommend to both kids and adults

One if the best experiences we had as a family visiting Bergamo, its a must if you like animal parks. The animals was in great condition very clean in great areas and well taken care of.

We came on a rainy day but the place is so nice we didn't even notice. I saw some animals for the first time in my life that live in tropical areas. We had only one hour to visit but it was not enough to see everything. We will come back for sure.
Razvan A — Google review
Luckly found this zoo when trying to find things to do in the area while on holiday. What a surprise. Very cheap at €24 to get in and was huge. All animals were in good condition and the enclosure were top notch. So much to see and do while there. Definitely worth a visit. To get there we got a 2 buses and then walked about 20 mins. So not really easy accessible if dont have a car but is do able.

This is an amazing zoo! Good selection of animals. Lot of trees and plants. Clean spaces for animals. Great idea regarding safari train for kids and giraffe feeding. You will see more animals in state owned zoos but it is hard to beat the experience you can have here.

This is a really cool place! It’s a bit hard to reach from Bergamo if you don’t have a car, but not impossible. There’s quite a large variety of animals, some of them in really nice habitats (like the exotic birds). There are many restaurants and places where you can eat your own food, even some playgrounds for kids. There’s a train that takes you around the place and it costs €2. It was not very crowded when we arrived, but we visited on a Saturday at 5PM. By the way, the ticked is €18 if you arrive 3 hours before closing (and 3 hours is more than enough if you don’t have young children). Indeed, some spaces are small for the animals (like the elephants, rhinos, or the big cats) and they looked quite sad. Not necessarily not cared for, but a bit depressy. In my opinion, it’s a really cool place, with lots of animals and if you visit Bergamo, it’s definitely not to be missed!
