Awesome theme park for the little once. If the kid is more than 105 cm, he could ride most of the rides. Entry could vary from 25 up to 38 euros based on how early is your reservation. The parking is 5 euros. The food meals are reasonably priced especially for kids. Not for the thrill seekers.

A wonderful space designed in thematic segments for the happiness of children, like a puzzle. Manufactured with good aesthetic taste, meant to capture the energy in a functionality of the fairytale landscape. We were more than happy ❣.

My little one loved the park! Park is quite quiet in March. We went on some of her favourite rides on repeat! Loads of interaction time with the characters. All the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. We arrived with suitcases. Easy to store at reception for €10.

We stayed whole Sunday over there, my 2,5 years and 6 years kid enjoyed it a lot! Great fun on summer day. Food is expensive as the toys, but drinks are the same more or less like everywhere in Italy. There's mini Italy as well as a small area with animals. The park is not big but the day goes away quickly and there's still plenty to see.

Great experience for the little ones. The park has a range of attractions to cater to all ages, from babies to 10s and 11s. The park is very clean and well organised. Probably best to spend 2 days in the park to see all the attractions as queueing can take some time. Highly recommended

A fantastic place to spend a full day with family. This place is not just for kids, but even adults can enjoy their time.
One day to cover all activities is doable especially if it is not jam-packed, but 2 days is more than enough to cover all activities.
The place is very well maintained, there are plenty of eateries and toilets, and is worth the time and money.

Great place to bring your family for a day of fun. The little italy is nice for get a moment of relax.. few place where to play with water so please don't forget the swimwear for kids.
There is animal that you can feed and Sn aquarium and a reptile area.

Great escape day. If you have kids this is the right place to go. Went there last weekend and it was very crowded, especially the "bettola". Had to wait very long to get some food. Attractions were nice
Marco Marinaccio — Google review
The park is great, attractions are enough and fun for children of various ages. I love the farm zone and "lake" side walk area.
What I would suggest:
1. Shuttle bus from Milan to Leolandia - Most parks have this. The gang which you have to pass from the Capriate highway station is so dangerous, dirty and bizzare. It's the last place to be with children. You cannot say that is a "safe" passage.
2. Cleanliness of the park - I would recommend having more people clean the park and restaurants area.
3. Shading zone - Please consider planting trees around the park. There are not that many shading areas considering the amount of people and roads in the park. It's difficult with kids in the sun.

Great albeit expensive experience for the whole family. We were 4 adults and 2 kids.
The kids had a blast and us adults had a great time too.
The shows and PJ masks museum are in Italian and might not be the most interesting for non Italians. All of the rest of the activities are suitable for everyone (depending on height).
Steven Globus — Google review
Very nice place. Has enough entertainment for kids. Most rollercoasters start from 105cm, so smaller kids can mainly enjoy water games, Thomas train, shows and there are a few slow ones.
Several areas for wood spread around, so no need to walk back and forth.
Get there early. It gets crowded closer to 12-13. Waiting time is low ( 5-10 min).

WORST EXPERIENCE FOR A COUPLE BIRTHDAY !
We booked a package for a couple at 160€ the day and couldn’t be more disappointed by the service and bad quality of the place.
First of all, the place was overcrowded, it looked like a municipal pool, with tons people walking around without respecting the sanitary measures.
We couldn’t even find a chair to put our towel on and relax. All the pools were packed and the hammam wasn’t working. The facilities were dirty and tons of towels were on the floor disorganized !
But the worst was the cafeteria: first, the cafeteria is in the hallway: it looks like a train station cafeteria, really not relaxing for a spa, then we waited for two hours to be seated: we came at 2 pm, the waitress told us we had to reserve a table, so we did and came back 30min later. At 2:30pm we came and she wasn’t even responding when we showed her that we were here for the table. We got seated only at 3 pm, after waiting 30min standing in the hallway. When she finally agreed to sit us somewhere, she didn’t even set the table for us. She then told us there were only toast and piadines left. We chose two of them with speck, eggplant, cheese and vegetables. We waited again for on hour and whenever I was trying to talk to her she would hide behind the office and send her colleague talk to me.
Finally after one hour waiting, they brought the most ridiculous thing ever: there was only bread and one slice of ham, we didn’t even get a knife and a fork, like animals!
On top of that, we see all the other tables getting poke bowl and salads while the waitress said we couldn’t order it anymore cause it was over!! This is really disrespectful to treat people like this ! Because of this we had to postpone our massage and missed the wellness ceremony that we paid for!
The only positive point was the 30min massage, that was nice.
But moral of the story: don’t go there if you expect a nice spa and a relaxing moment! On top of that don’t try to eat there if you’re a foreigner, cause that’s the woman in the cafeteria apparently makes a big difference between Italians and foreigners.
It’s really shameful !!!

Four stars are deserved and enjoyed.. if you know the best time window to visit it.
During weekends I'd strongly recommend visiting the SPA early in the morning (from 9:30 am) and staying until 4:00 pm. I'll rate the experience based on the timing above.. Facilities are moderately well maintained and clean, and the staff is nice and welcoming. Several types of saunas are available, and other rooms and different inside / outside swimming pools are ready to be enjoyed.
Starting from 3:00 pm, the number of people entering the SPA is so overbooked in comparison with the size and capacity of the common places and Spa rooms that the experience turns poor and unpleasant.
Both lunch proposals (silver and gold) are overrated and overpriced in any case: 24€ or 30€ for basic meals with poor quality and preparation.

The jacuzzis and outdoor baths are excellent. Food and drinks are of a very low quality, although the service staff are really professional and good. Bring your own toiletries. Save money and bring your own slippers and bathrobe. Overall it is worth visiting as it is less crowded than QC Terme, and the baths and sauna are great, but don’t eat or have drinks there.

It would be a shame to put a completely bad review for one sigle person, that is why I decided to put 3 starts because is still a good place with a good price (mon-Fri). The most interesting ceremony is called Aufguss, which I recommend to try. HOWEVER, it is a shame that after a relaxing day for 9 minutes after 9:30 that I am drying my hair a girl from the staff name Greta comes with an attitude to tell as to get out…
Lidia Parisio — Google review
Probably slightly overpriced for the location and for the simple fact they over charge you for flip flops and other basics. I understand the logic but these type of tricks separate classy places from wanna be places.

Never again! We were really looking forward to visiting this spa as the photos & facilities looked fantastic! However…
- Even though we booked a time slot, we still had to line up for an hour outside to even enter.
- The spa was dirty, noisy and far too busy.
- No one was managing spa etiquette, so the whole experience was not relaxing at all. Loud talking in & out of the sauna, mobile phones in the saunas!!!
Overall, a terrible experience, more compatible to a summer lido that a relaxing spa.
Darren Shooter — Google review
It was one of the worst spas I have ever been to. There was nothing special about it, and for the same price, you can find much better places like QC Terme. The organization was very poor, as the workers had no idea that someone had left early. Additionally, even though the reception had informed us that the aperitivo would be available until 10:30, when we went to the bar at 9:20, they told us they were closing and had no food left. However, in the end, when we spoke with other people, they arranged an aperitivo for us. Unfortunately, when we asked for drinks, they didn't have any mint to prepare cocktails.
The Parco di Monza is an expansive walled park in Milan, Italy. It is a true treasure trove of the city and includes horse and auto racetracks, golf, tennis courts and an outdoor Olympic swimming pool. The park can be explored for hours on foot and there are plenty of places to grab a bite or drink while you're there.
One of Europe's biggest park. Great for outdoor activities, cycling, horse riding, picnics. Full of bars, cafes and restaurants. Many entries from different towns.

Incredibly huge park. The racing circuit part is very big alone, but the rest is big as well. Suitable for sports activities of many kinds. They even have running tracks for several lengths. Prep for many kms walk or better, ride. There was a huge storm in July 23 that massacred the racing track surrounding. Over 10 000 trees fell down.

Very peaceful route out of the back of Monza. Plenty of open green space with walkways. Full of squirrels, and the building is an interesting sight. There is a small cafe to the north side which makes for a good put stop.
It's about a 40 minutes walk through from Monza to the race circuit.

It's super huge and nice! There are many surprising areas within; Simultaneously there are many nice spots that leaves no excuse to do, from a regular normal exercise to a very professional one; you may also get motivated to do some even though you may go there for a simple relaxing walk. Also it's great to spend a great time with the family or even friends. It is strongly recommended to consider at least a complete half day to visit there.

Nicolas de Sénépart — 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.
Vittorio Robecchi — Google review
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.

The Duomo di Milano is the largest cathedral in the world and an iconic masterpiece of Gothic architecture. It took over 600 years to complete, and its facade includes 135 spires and 3,400 statues. Inside the cathedral, the hugestained glass depictions of biblical scenes are unique and hard to miss. If you're interested in adopting a statue or have deep pockets, this is definitely a site you should visit!
Extremely beautiful, spectacular and impressive cathedral! I was truly amazed to see it from the inside. It totally worth visiting! You can purchase tickets from the building across the street on the right side. There is normal tickets or with climbing up the towers included. The waiting line wasn't that long but probably it depends on the month. I was there in February and got inside really quickly.
Mirela Ilieva — Google review
Enjoyed a quick visit to this iconic attraction.
Really loved the ability to venture in the rooftop which was surprising and awesome (despite the ongoing restoration work).
Views from the top are fantastic.
The inside is grand too.
Staff were helpful and polite.
Although it could benefit from better signage.
Access inside to some areas restricted 😏
Naveed Syed — Google review
Highly recommend visiting the rooftop. Unlike any other climbs I have done throughout Europe in cathedral towers. This is definitely not one to miss. You are walking amongst really cool architecture. We took the stairs, manageable and not too difficult, but there is also an elevator. The elevator does book up so I recommend booking in advance if you are looking for a specific time slot. Get your ticket across from the cathedral in the museum. If you are military member (including USA military) you can get a free entrance and rooftop ticket, go to the info point not the museum to get your free ticket.
Emily Bartley — Google review
Cathedral is amazing. Impressive, big, beautiful. Definitely recommend to go on the terrace (rooftop). We bought ticket on the web but we still had to wait in line for a while to get in. The line was long, but it was quickly decreasing. Worth every euro.

Massive and beautiful cathedral. The inside is breathtaking and the outside is filled with so many intricate details. There is something to see everywhere.

Wednesdays are a holiday some facilities may be closed.
In October 2023 there were renovations going on.
But overall a magnificent monument.
Tickets can be bought online also but there is a transaction charge , it's easy to just buy at the counter in an adjoining building.
Opening slots are across the day and it's worth checking in the timings before arriving to get the maximum out of the trip.
Doumo is the cathedral building and terraces are the access to it's rooftop which is definitely worthwhile a good view to the plaza below and seeing the structure close up.
Stairs are steep but if you don't have any major health issues it can be climbed , alternatively lifts are available.
Eldo Alias — Google review
Such an amazing place. I have not actually been in side the cathedral itself, but it looks absolutely fantastic from the outside. The architecture of it is so sophisticated and the level of detail in it is design is mind blowing. There is a gold statue on the top. I heard Italian Mafias tried to rob this gold statue by attaching it to a helicopter, but the police managed to retrieve it.
Emad Abdelhamid — Google review
What must amazed me was being walking on the top of the roof, which is not common.
The Duomo is big, the architecture of the outside is very impressive and beautiful.
The church inside, based on the other churches I have seen before, this one didn’t impressive. As any other European church, of course is beautiful and it’s big, I have seen better ones.
But, I think you should go because every perspective is always different and it’s worth it.
I took the lift (elevator) to go to the top. This entrance is on the right side of the back of the church. Opposite side where you can buy the tickets.
IMPORTANT: for women you tummy needs to be cover and your shoulders. I had a tide dress and it wasn’t a problem. My husband had shorts and a t-shirt and he was fine go inside.
The elevator doesn’t go down, it’s only to go up. We took the stairs to come down.
Kai Klann — Google review
The church is very beautiful especially at the front and at the side. If you want a perfect picture, I recommend going early because there are a lot of tourists. For the entrance to the main church and going up the church/terraces, buy it in advance online so you don't need to buy physically and I think sometimes tickets get sold out.

By far my favorite part of Milan!
I could honestly stare at this all day and never get tired of all the fine details.
It's absolutely incredible, the time and dedication it took to make this. To see it in person is truly breathtaking.
We bought tickets online before hand so we chose a time and only waited with the others that had our time stamp tickets which took maybe 5 minutes to get inside.
We also got tickets to go up top to the roof. We chose the stairs, and were informed that those tickets are actually separate and don't need a time to go up. You can use them any time of day until 6pm, the last group that can go up. And they're valid for 3 days. So you can see the inside at your designated time and then any time go up within the 3 days. Also many online sources say that men are required to wear pants, but during very hot summer months shorts are allowed.
Now I can cross it off my bucket list, but am also now determined to see it as many more times as I can!

A very impressive place. The interior of Duomo is ginormous and makes a great impression. The light going through the colorful widows and the art work are amazing.

Incredible architecture. Bought tickets at the door for the terrace and the wait time was very reasonable. Definitely recommend going up to see it.

It’s a must! Absolutely gorgeous both in and out. I recommend getting the elevator lift so once you’re up there your not too tired to take pics and enjoy the great views. Tickets can be purchased online or at the ticket office. If you have a specific time I recommend booking online in advance but if you have no prior engagement throughout the day you can purchase them at the office.

This was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
I came on a rainy day in December. Tickets were online and cost 16 regular 8 reduced. While this is a little steep, you can really spend 1-2 hours here. It is a lot of stairs but can be done in only a few minutes, and if you’re able-bodied it shouldn’t be an issue.
Once at the viewing platform, the views are CRAZY! Super beautiful on every side and it is so cool to be walking along the outside of the roof of the church. Surreal.
Another set of stairs takes you to the actual roof where the views are even better. Incredibly beautiful and historical architecture. Coming down the stairs you enter the Cathedral itself which is adorned with sculptures, painting, and more beautiful architecture. We came on a Sunday so we were able to observe a mass as well.
This was an absolutely wonderful experience. It’s famous for a reason, don’t miss it!

For sure the architecture of the Cathedral is incredible taking account that it took over six hundred years to finish. All the spikes, sculptures were breath taking. It's the real object of religious culture. Worth seeing. Maybe not sleeping beneath it. Concrete floor is hard for your back :)

The cathedral is breath taking. So many intricate details & something interesting to see everywhere you look. Recommend getting tickets in advance to go in during peak season, the line can also get very long - make sure you have water when its hot! Make sure knees and shoulders are covered if you are going inside. Worth doing the roof top walk too.

Breathtaking. Get the combo pass with the lift and museum. After you do the rooftop, you can gain instant access to the Duomo church and bypass the Duomo line. Also included is the dioceses museum. It’s really worth a visit. Highlight of my trip. to Milan.

A breathtaking masterpiece, with its intricate gothic architecture and stunning marble facade. The panoramic views from the terrace are worth the climb, providing a unique perspective of Milan. Inside, the vast interior and beautiful stained glass windows leave a lasting impression. The intricate details of the sculptures and artwork showcase the skill and dedication of the artisans. A must-visit for anyone seeking a glimpse into the rich history and artistic beauty of Milan.

Visiting Milan Duomo with my family, including two kids, was an overall okay experience, but a few aspects left us with mixed feelings.
The cathedral itself is a breathtaking masterpiece, with its intricate architecture and stunning design. Our kids were fascinated by the grandeur of the exterior and the history behind this iconic landmark. However, our enthusiasm was somewhat dampened by the extensive security measures at the entrance. While safety is undoubtedly important, the level of scrutiny felt exaggerated, making the entry process a bit tedious, especially with children in tow.
One major downside during our visit was the ongoing renovation work. It impacted the overall ambiance and obstructed some of the views, diminishing the full splendor of this historical site.
Additionally, the cost of going up in the tower with the elevator was a bit steep (17 EUR / person if I remember correctly). We opted to skip the tower ascent due to the high cost, which was disappointing considering it's one of the main attractions.
On a positive note, the interior of the cathedral was awe-inspiring, and exploring the surrounding square was a delightful experience. The vibrant atmosphere and surrounding shops and cafes added to the charm of the visit.
In conclusion, Milan Duomo is undoubtedly a must-visit, but potential visitors should be aware of the renovation work and be prepared for the associated challenges. The security measures could be more streamlined, and the pricing for additional experiences like the tower ascent may need reconsideration, particularly for families with children.

The cathedral is very impressive. The structure, the decoration, the sculptures, the paintings - literally everything is beautiful. A must-see when visiting Milan. It is worth noting that the staff at the cathedral are very helpful.
The view from the roof is equally spectacular, so it's worth a visit there too. You can use the stairs or the lift.
For both the cathedral and the rooftop, you can (and should) buy tickets in advance to avoid long queues.

A must to go inside & to the top.
We went early in the morning - lines were long. When we returned to the square later the afternoon for a walking tour there were no lines. (Not sure if that applies to every day). Beautiful inside. Audio guides available. Buy tickets online.
Buy ticket to go to the roof inside when you get the audio guide

One of the most special buildings I have been in- it is truly a work of art in architectural form. We did the roof tour which I would wholeheartedly recommend despite its increased price. You can see so much of Milan from the roof and it is great for photography. The inside of the cathedral is also very impressive. Probably the number one sight in Milan and well worth a visit.
The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a five-storey mall in Milan, Italy, which houses luxury clothing brands and upscale dining. The luxurious architecture and historic context of the building reflects the country's newly-acquired self-confidence after years of political and social turmoil during the chaotic era of Italian unification.
The Gallerias are definitely a must see. Even if just for a quick window shopping session and a picture in the middle (literally everyone has their phone out).
All the shops are high end but there are a couple of nice ice cream shops.
It’s right next to the Duomo so head on over after and walk around.
Highly recommend to visit

Definitely a beautiful spot to take pictures and visit some luxury stores. It's honestly a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's just a walk through outdoor mall with a select number of stores and a few restaurants. Nice to walk through for a few minutes.
Visit earlier in the morning if you want to get pictures without anyone in them!

Absolutely beautiful! Every store window makes you want to go in and shop! The architecture and overall beauty is breathtaking! We walked in and out of every section and were in awe with the magnificent structure. The amount of people was crazy! We happened to be there during fashion week and there were models dressed and taking photos everywhere! If you go to Milan you have to go to the Galleria!!!

Not sure how to describe this place correctly. Shopping center with the most famous brands. Most people visit it just to take a look and make a photo.
It makes sense to visit just to close point "to see the most famous shopping gallery in Europe". In general, nothing special.
Nice stationary shop with a some unique souvenirs.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a masterpiece of architecture and shopping in Milan, Italy! Its stunning glass and iron structure create a breathtaking ambiance.

What a remarkably beautiful place – inside and out! Magnificent. An exquisite demonstration of unparalleled artistry and skill. The architecture, the murals and pretty much everything else. The attention to detail is simply wow-inspiring. Full of elegant shops and upscale dining establishments, the Galleria creates an ambiance of beauty while maintaining a luxurious price range. Standing in the middle and gazing up at the mesmerizing murals, each one depicting a different continent, is the pinnacle of this experience.
Great vibes.

The building itself is gorgeous and mesmerizing. We had a good time walking around. It’s also fun to look around the luxury stores but other than that there isn’t much to do or look at. It’s also extremely crowded to the point that it gets difficult to walk.

The Vittorio Emanuele gallery is considered the oldest shopping gallery in Italy and is, without a doubt, absolutely stunning... The architecture, the shops, the coffehouses... Everything is a sight to behold. Well worth the visit. It is also a place with a large crowd of people, so if you want to see the place unobstructed, I recommend that you go very early in the morning.

Our family recently explored the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and the experience was nothing short of stunning.
The architecture of the Galleria is awe-inspiring, with its elegant design and intricate detailing. Walking through the historic passageways, we felt transported to a bygone era of grandeur and sophistication. The kids were fascinated by the intricate mosaics, high glass ceilings, and the general sense of opulence that permeated the surroundings.
However, for a family on a budget, the allure of the luxury shops and designer boutiques was bittersweet. While window shopping was enjoyable, the reality was that most of the items on display were way beyond our financial reach. It's essential for families to be aware that this is more of an experience destination than a budget-friendly shopping spot.
On a positive note, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the Galleria is not just about shopping. We took a moment to enjoy a coffee in one of the historic cafes, soaking in the ambiance and people-watching, which added a pleasant touch to our visit.
In summary, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II is a must-visit for its architectural marvel and historical significance. Families should approach it with the understanding that the shopping experience might be more aspirational than practical, but the overall ambiance and cultural richness make it a worthwhile stop, even if you're not planning to splurge on designer goods.
The P.za del Duomo is a public square that was arranged in its current configuration during the 1700s. This urban space is primarily renowned for its grand cathedral, which stands as the centerpiece of the plaza.
The Sforzesco Castle is a magnificent medieval-Renaissance fortress with multiple museums and art collections. It was originally built as a fortress by the Visconti dynasty, and later became home to the powerful Sforza dynasty. The castle's defences were designed by the multitalented da Vinci, who is also credited with designing other famous structures like the Mona Lisa.
Amazing place, wonderful historical experience! There are three different museums in the place, all three dealing with history. Simply amazing, one is an ancient art museum that includes paintings and photos from different periods going back several years. The second is ancient objects, furniture, moving accessories and more, the third is the museum of ancient musical instruments. One ticket costs five euros and allows entry to the three museums.
I really enjoyed it. You must visit there!
There was no line at the entrance and there was no need to purchase a ticket in advance.
Ortal Shushan — Google review
Building itself is visually interesting, but not original. However, there are several rather nice museums inside. I spent there about three interesting hours for 5 Eur, which is very good value. The biggest exhibit is one of the last Michelangelo statues, which is housed in its own exposition, but there is way more to see in the castle. Definitely recommended if you have some time to spent while visiting Milano.
Dusan Bolek — Google review
The entrance to the castle itself is free, but to get to the museums you need a ticket which is 5€ full price and lets you visit all of the museums. They even have lockers which let you travel around the castle and the museum without carrying anything.
Everything is nice and well kept, there are benches everywhere and the staff, even with their limited English, were trying to help as much as they could.
The whole castle is too big to walk on one day, so we prioritized the things we went there for. If you want to visit everything, you should visit at least twice.

A very nice castle and museum. There are many rooms, everybody will find something to like. You need to count with exhibition which takes at least 3 hours so if you hurry, you should check only items you are interested in. There is also a beautiful view from the top. If you take a bag with you, you can store it in a locker located downstairs (1 euro deposit - will be returned after you input the key back). After exhibition you can find a good place for rest outside. This place is also magical in the evening.

This place is so stunning. I sat within the castle walls listening to live music from a stage that had been set up while sketching a picture. Truly a wonderful experience.
Not going inside and instead walking around some of the most beautiful architecture I have ever seen will be free and well worth your time. There are also free toilets and a water refill on site which is a bonus.
Ellen — Google review
Definitely the largest intact castle I have been to, the distance from moat to first scalable wall must be 40m, and an attacker would face an array of arrows and spears before they even navigated a ladder into position.
That said, pay the 5€ for the entrance and the extra for the headset so you can learn about some of the more interesting paintings, tables and artifacts. (Stupidly, the put the headphone lady BEFORE the ticket purchase, so you have to circle back!)
I never made it up the tower, but I can only imagine those views!

Very beautiful castle with a garden in the middle, we visited on a sunday and it wasn't busy at all. The castle is well maintained. There are no restaurants or shops inside the castle other than the info point, but there is a big garden outside the castle, I'll attach a pic of it. It is definitely a must visit place if you are in Milan.

Visited this castle whilst in Milan. It is in a great central location. It is free to enter and walk into, but if you want to walk around the inside of the castle and see the exhibits then that is €5 or you can get a student ticket. You are not allowed to take large bags around the exhibits either and cannot take videos, only pictures. This is nice to look around and you can also pay for a translator earpiece it you want to listen to the history. There are some people trying to sell you roses and bracelets etc on the inside so be aware of them

Very cool place to walk around. We didn’t go in any of the museums because we didn’t have too long but you could easily spend a whole day here! Otherwise it is free to walk around. On Saturdays there is a huge market on the outskirts of the castle with bags, food, mulled wine, lots of trinkets, cooking items etc! Highly recommend.

Sforzesco Castle itself is a sight to behold. We marvelled at its architecture and the historical significance of it. Inside, there are plenty of exhibits, from sculptures to drawings to furniture and many more.
While some may enjoy this, I was fatigued after an hour into the never ending displays on different floors of the castle. Perhaps splitting the visit into several days might ease this fatigue.
As the castle grounds are free to explore and is a tourist attraction, you will come across unscrupulous individuals who attempt to ‘welcome’ you to Milan by forcing bands or flowers on you. They will demand high payment in exchange. I am surprised that nothing is done by the staff of the castle regarding this. While it doesn’t detract from what the castle has to offer, this has definitely impacted our visit negatively as we navigated our ways away from these incidents.
For those not into art and history, I would still recommend visiting for the architecture and for pictures as this is a tourist spot in Milan. However, you don’t have to purchase tickets to view the exhibits.
Here are some images and videos of the exhibit. It only provides a glimpse into what the castle has to offer. For the complete experience, you should purchase the tickets and view the exhibit.

It's a castle with 6 museums inside it, all accessible for 3 euros (for students) or 5 euros. If you don't wanna go inside the museums, you can still check the place out, the fountain in front of it, and the big beautiful installations outside. However if you got time, the museus are really worth the visit. There is a Michelangelo sculpture, ancient arts and weapons, the musical instruments museum, an Egyptian museum, and a few others to check. The bad thing is that most of the exhibitions only have texts in Italian, no translation for English.

Lovely castle to walk around or chill at. I personally loved the garden in the middle of the castle where you could sit out in the shade and enjoy the surrounding views. The museums have mazing pieces. There were some real surprising pieces of art. I paid 2 or 3 euros to get into all 14 unique parts of the castle. There's art varying from paintings to furniture to cloths and musical instruments. Definitely would recommend anyone to spend a few hours here.

This castle is one of the most, if not the most, impressive and beautiful fortresses / castles I've been in.

With the triumfh arch and beautiful garden near by, this can fill half a day of great sight seeing.

An amazing place, it's €5 to gain entry which I recommend. However just having a wander through the massive courtyards and taking in the picturesque building and surroundings is definitely worth the visit. It links the park and the way towards Duomo.

Sforzesco Castle is a must visit when in Milano. The castle and park is free, and enjoyable any time of the year. Viewing the castle is breath-taking and be sure to pay attention to the remaining piece of the Milanese wall. During warmer months you can be lucky to spot turtles in the water, and keep an eye out for cats in the grassy moat. Bring lunch or a snack to relax in the green and forget the busy city for a moment.

Very nice medieval fortification that houses several of the city's museums & art collections. For the ticket price of only 6 euro you get the access to the entire complex, and it's totally worth it. We spent nearly 3 hours on this cultural & history learning experience and we didn't even see a half of the exhibition rooms. We'll definitely come back here on our next visit to Milan.

I'd recommending getting an audio guide or booking a guide experience to get the most of the trip. The museums and huge and have lots of thins to see but you might feel like you are missing out if you don't have the extra experience of having a guide.
We got there about 09:30am and it was perfect for getting pictures and moving around the outdoor bits but by 11:00 it was crowded so would recommend get there earlier.

Come here in the working days in the morning and you'll feel like you got the whole place for yourself .
A nice bonus are some cats that are really cute 😍

Amazing architecture! I spent less than an hour walking around and inside the walls but not inside the buildings because my shoes weren’t comfortable . But I’d recommend to spend more time tho because it’s really big and there is lots of places to see and walk in, out and around! It’s totally worth visiting if you are into architecture and history, just go prepared to walk a lot.

Beautiful castle in the middle of Milano. You can walk right through without buying a ticket or chose some exhibits or special sections, where you might need a ticket.
This is a famous mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci that portrays the reactions of Jesus' apostles after he announces one of them will betray him. The painting is amazing and even bigger than expected, and its still one of the top things to do in Milan.
For me it's one of the most and fabulous art treasures in the world. I would easily compare this to completing a pilgrimage for art and history enthusiasts alike. I would say the feeling was like being one with the great master himself just to see the great fresco with my own eyes.
We purchased our tickets through pre booking with a 3 hour walking tour. You can not do the walking tour if you choose not to. To see this masterpiece in person is definitely a bucket list item.

Fascinating to see the original art work preserved after the world war bombing that almost destroyed it. The room is light and climate controlled to attempt to protect the artwork.
We paid €15 each to get in. Worth the price to see it, but there's not much else to see. It's a very small museum.
I believe tours start approximately every 15 to 30 minutes, but call ahead or be prepared for a short wait to enter. They only sell 35 tickets to each time slot and it's hard to predict demand.
The pictures of the damage to the building and courtyard from the war were moving and help one to realize that, in war, no one cares about anything of significant value...only an appetite for destruction.
It's heartbreaking to realize how self-destructive our human nature really is. Makes me long to put off the natural man and rise above those natural tendencies.

Tickets must be purchased online. During my visit the green pass is needed to obtain your physical tickets.

For my visit date, the online tickets were no longer available. I contacted the group sales and they told me that 18 days before any given visit date, any unsold group tickets are released for individual online purchases. So, I kept re-checking the website and I was able to buy 2 tickets but I had to be quick.
The museum has nice displays showing the restoration work as well as photos of the church from the WW2 bombings. It is truly amazing that the painting survived.
Sam Lee — Google review
It's very beautiful, and worth going at nearly any price. But the actual price is like €12, and the tour price is like €75. But you have to get your tickets well in advance because the tour companies buy up all the ticket spots, and it's basically scalping, which is really unsavory. But the museum is not motivated to do anything about it, so you're stuck paying a 500% markup for essentially nothing. So get your tickets early so that you don't have to pay the tour guide premium. The tour guide adds almost no value to the experience, so the minute you decide to go (and you definitely should go), get on line and buy your tickets, so you don't get caught in the tour guide markup scalping racket.

Tickets go on sale 2 months in advance and they do sell out. Luckily I bought my tickets in advance because we saw multiple people turned away at the door the day we went. The website is a bit challenging to navigate, but a necessity. I gave the four star rating because I think they could make it more accessible for people. You have to go with a tour group, which is not ideal, but fine. The work itself is, of course, incredible and the preservation/restoration process is quite impressive.

Definitely one of the must see site in your next visit in Milano.
One of the most known painting in the world. You probably saw a photo or replica, but there is nothing like the experience to stand in front of it in the actual room it decorates.
It's impossible to get tickets in the tickets office you must booked long time in advance, I got it through a local tour guide few days before and still it was very limited in time slots. It is more expensive but you can enjoy the story about the history of the painting.

I needed to order the tickets three months ago before I went in....
And also you can be inside only for 15 minutes after that you are kicked out literally.... Yeah it's a masterpiece but I don't think it's worth the time you need to wait to join and than see it only for 15 minutes....
These are just some of the pictures and the videos I took of the Cenacolo, The church, surrounding area and other....

A little thing that maybe was a bit tricky is the reservation process. I bought the ticket from the official website then through the service VIVATICKET.

We bought tickets in advance and were ushered inside at the appropriate time. The system was well organized and we were able to see the show comfortably. It is better to be punctual.

Piazza di Santa Maria delle Grazie, 2, 20123 Milano MI, Italy
Certosa di Pavia is a stunning Gothic and Renaissance monastery located in the Lomellina region, west of Pavia. The monastery, built between 1394 and 1497, showcases a mix of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Visitors can explore the wide courtyard, cloisters, monks' cells, and the impressive church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The interior features rich frescoes, ornate wooden choir stalls, and marble sculptures.
The best! The facade is wonderfully made. The tour is free, you just have to be a bit earlier before the mass.
Now the parking - there is a pay parking near the church but instead what I did, I parked in the nearby villages, same distance, in Via Amadeo & Via Repubblica, see the map. Worth visiting!

Visiting the Certosa di Pavia monastery was nothing short of a mesmerizing experience. Nestled in the Lombardy region of Italy, this monastery is a true architectural gem.
Inside, the monastery's tranquility provides a haven for introspection and spiritual rejuvenation. The impressive church, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, features a harmonious blend of rich frescoes, ornate wooden choir stalls, and marble sculptures.
The cloisters, characterized by elegant arches and manicured gardens, are yet another striking feature of the Certosa di Pavia. Walking through the peaceful cloisters offers an intimate experience of monastic life, while also allowing one to appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship that adorns the walls and columns.
A visit to the Certosa di Pavia is a must for anyone interested in art, history, and spirituality. The serenity and splendor of this architectural masterpiece offer a truly unique experience that leaves a lasting impression.

The 'Certosa di Parma' is really a beautiful church located not far from Milano.
It was built from 1394 to 1497.
Because of that the building is a mix of different styles (Romanic, and Gothic), as you can see from the picks of the review.
I strongly advice to take the guided tour: it's totally free of charge (held by the monks managing the complex).
It provides many insights on the history of the church and the functions of each of the visited parts of it.
Beautifully engraved choir is my favourite, but the visit offers many points of interest.

Via del Monumento, 4, 27012 Certosa di Pavia PV, Italy
Renaissance-era square with arcades, now home to bars, restaurants & shops, plus a cathedral facade.
Even when we visited Vigevano in one of late September afternoons the piazza was almost deserted. It seemd that people were still on holiday and most shops were closed. It had a very calm and peaceful vibes to the town. Had a quiet stroll around the Piazza and had snacks and coffee. We enjoyed the couple of hours we had there a lot.

Amazing square!
Built between 1492 and 1494 at the wishes of Ludovico il Moro, Piazza Ducale was one of the first models of a Renaissance square and is one of the best examples of XV century Lombard architecture. Work on building the square began in 1492 and lasted two years. In October 1494 the new square was there to welcome the visit of Charles VIII. Donato Bramante was undoubtedly present among those architects involved in the work at the Milan nobles’ court.
The Piazza was built to add lustre to the town as the preferred residence of the Duke. The antechamber to the entrance of the imposing Visconti-Sforza castle, it originally had a flight of stone steps permitting the triumphal entrance of the Dukes to the Castle residence.

Center of Vigevano city...a nice place for a relaxing time outside qith friends and family too,.. especially in this spring season. You may find several proposal for a sweet icecream or a slice of cake. As soon as sun goes down a nice view of illuminated shops and castle help you to enjoy time before dinner. Try sometime

It is an incredible city😍 because it is full of monuments and place to eat and sit having the Ducale square view. It is very recommended to come at least one time.

Designed by Leonardo this square is fabulous. If you are in the area enjoy it and the old town immediately around it.

A few years ago I read somewhere that this was one of the most beautiful squares in the world. The numerous photos by pros and tourists testify it. Being born in Piedmont, I used to visit this quaint town quite often, appreciating its medieval cobblestone alleys, to reach the piazza Ducale and enjoy an excellent ice cream. A lot has changed, nothing stays forever, but the square has maintained its grandeur. The historical shops have disappeared in favor of expensive eateries with rude and hasty service, aiming only at you spending $ on mediocre food and drinks. Head towards the hidden, narrow streets that surround it and you’ll find small pubs and food joints with courteous and amicable service and decent prices. By the way, DO visit the Sforza castle, it’s a true medieval gem with frescos, ancient and secret gardens and horse stables. It’ll satisfy your cravings for history and well kept ancient artifacts

One of a top place in Europa, beautiful and spectacular. You can feel the history of the place. As the city put a lot of descriptions and some guide everywhere.

One of many beautiful bridges I have seen in my life, but definitely not overrated. Very stunning! It's also called bridge of sighs and has an really interesting history, which is worth a google. I'm not too sure if you can actually walk over it but you dmcould view it from afar as see in the pictures or take a ride in a gondola and float along the waterways.

Beautiful, the cobbled streets and paved bike lanes are a wonder, on a sunny day you can wind back the clock and imagine your any time in history. Lots of places to sit and have a coffee or late dinner and the pace is literally that of slow cruise whatever you’re doing. Friendly space, never that busy apart from the height of the summer.
Pombia Safari Park is a drive-through animal park featuring elephants, tigers, and lions with a breeding program. Visitors can also enjoy family rides within the park. Additionally, there's an option to stay overnight at Safari Park Pombia Hotel with breakfast included and skip the line at the entrance cash desks. The park offers a variety of animals seen up close in their natural habitat. It's well-maintained and clean, ensuring that the animals are treated well.
We had just the best experience!
Our visit was just a few days before the Easter holidays, so it felt as if the Safari and the attractions were just waiting for us. It was not crowded at all, just a few families.
The Safari is very nice, variety of animals, you can see them very very close at their actual size.
Very well maintained, clean and it seemed the animals are treated well.
The attraction park is also nice, not too big, just perfect for small kids (teenagers can have some fun too).

Leuke safari met de auto tussen de dieren.
Wij zijn op woensdag en donderdag geweest. Je mocht de 2e keer gratis naar binnen. Het was erg rustig.
De kinderen 2 en 5 jaar vonden het super leuk om de dieren van zo dichtbij te zien. En het waterpark was helemaal fantastisch!
De kermis zijn wij niet echt in geweest.
Het park opent om 10:00 uur maar dan is nog niet alles geopend, de winkeltje en eettentjes openen later.
Wij hebben 2 hele leuke dagen gehad

Nice safari with the car between the animals.
We went on Wednesday and Thursday. You could enter for free the 2nd time. It was very quiet.
The children aged 2 and 5 really enjoyed seeing the animals up close. And the water park was absolutely fantastic!
We didn't really go to the fair.
The park opens at 10:00 am, but not everything is open then, the shop and eateries open later.
We had 2 very nice days

I want to break this review for the Safari and the rest of the park.
The safety was actually very nice, but if you think about it, how do they make all this enigmas to stand in the exact same place as on the map?!
The rest of the park is lame! The food is gross and expensive. The show is a little Crawl for my taste.
The aquarium was to lame to talk about. I had a friend with better aquarium 🤦🏼.
I came with my kid end expected to be there fool day, finally we left after an hour.
My suggestion, just go to another place. 😒

Fun trip with family.
Being so close to lion's and other animals was really exciting. But kids also loved the reptiles.
Could improve in terms of environmental education, as it doesn't make sense to have wild animals within enclosures if not for a greater good.
Food options available inside (but avoid the really dry lasagna).
Ladies restrooms only has on the ground toilets

The idea of this park is very good. Everbody can find something interesting. We have spend a wonderful day in this park with a lot of animals we cant find everyday in real. But... The attractions looked to be old, the drinks Pepsi/Beer we have received werent sparkling, the ice creams too sweet in comparison of the wonderful ones we can find in the other touristic places, some staff members seemed to be bored to work there, the swimming pool still under construction even promised for 2023

Comfortable for going from milan city, good choice for one day trip for family travel. I have been there at 2016, I think at that time we saw more animals than this time, but this time we watched great show and some free playground equipments. Hope all the animals will healthy.

(Translated by Google) We bought a trip to Paris for two hoping that everything would go well, everything was perfect until the last day when an asymptomatic positive swab prevented us from returning. Our agency didn't abandon us for a moment, it found us a studio apartment in center, the plane trip was postponed several times, reassured and followed up until your return. I would like to add that Italy prevents you from returning but abandons you there, does not give you instructions on what to do through someone, so we are rightly very worried. Thank you heartily to our agent Rossano.

The Armani Shop does not have the Giorgio Armani brand, only the cheaper lines of Emphorio Armani and Armani Exchange. Also the clothes choice from these two is very limited and prices are not attaractive at all. The Hugo Boss shop has a very limited choice of collar shirts, but at good price of 52 Euros. It also has a very limited choice of clothes with weird colors and many sizes missing. The Trosardy shop is only about casual. The nike shops had models that weren't at the Torino outlet village. In my opinion the outlet at Via Liguria is much better.

Located in the picturesque Gavi hills, Designer Outlet Serravalle is a sprawling shopping center designed to resemble an Italian village. It offers a delightful shopping experience with tree-lined streets and fountains, along with great deals on designer brands. The outlet features over 230 stores showcasing international and Italian designer labels, including renowned names like Casadei, Iceberg, and MMissoni. Visitors can also explore 11 dining options ranging from cafes to restaurants for a well-rounded experience.
Superb outlet with a large choice of luxury stores (gucci, prada, burberry, michael kors, etc.). The prices are very affordable compared to their initial prices, you can find what you are looking for! To eat there are a lot of fast food (macdo, burger king) and also a few restaurants. To go there from Milan, I recommend taking the shuttle on Get your guide for 20 euros round trip per person, the drive takes about 1h30!

You can say, it is not bad outlet mall.
They have different brands and little bit big.
The prices are still high but you can find something.
One hour from Milan driving and there is some buses you can use to come here to the outlet.
You need consider a full day from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Great Outlet Center 45 min away from Genoa. Besides the usual big sports brands there are many designer shops and also local Italian clothing companies. Great discount for a lot of products. Convenient free parking right outside near the shops. There is also VIP parking for 5 Euro all day. Very clean outlet village. If you have money to spend on clothes and accessories this is the place to visit.

The outlet is fantastic and here is my advice before visiting please:
1- Come with full stomach ( not hungry) otherwise you’ll waist your time in long cue to order food because of the crowded
2- come as early as possible otherwise you’ll wait about 20 minutes to get inside each shop
3- come early to find cars 🚗 parking
4- bring a suitcase 🧳 with you to carry your purchased items otherwise you’ll be tired of carrying stuff
5- Dressed well especially if you’re visiting in Winter ❄️ + comfortable shoes

If you want to hunt designer goods with a good bargain, this is the place. Its not offer new arrival product, but some of the product still a steal deal. Prepare about 2-3 hours to enjoy your hunting in this big hunting ground. The place is too open to the sky with minimum shade. Buy 151eur in one receipt to eligible for tax refund, please ask the cashier as the minimum value might change from time to time. You can not combine several receipt, it must be in one receipt to be eligible for tax claim.

Waste of a whole day. Two or three hours are enough instead. But the shuttle only allows for a whole day's travel. And also suitable only for those who want to buy a lot of brands and like shopping malls. Those who come to Milan for a few days, it is not worth going all the way there and wasting an entire day.
Beyond that, a nice place, beautiful and designed, very comfortable to walk around

The outlet mall offers a fantastic shopping experience with a wide variety of shops, including designers and luxury brands. Located just an hour from Milan, the journey is smooth and easy, making it a convenient destination for a day of shopping. Additionally, having a tax refund office inside the mall adds to the convenience and overall appeal of this shopping destination.

Here are my pro + and cons -
+ Easily reachable from Milan and Genoa
+ During the sale season you can find good brands for cheap prices
+ You can visit the other clothes shops such as h&m OVS and mega supermarkets including electronic shops which are located near to this outlet
+ Many restaurants including fast foods are available
+ Enough free parking available
+ Amazing architecture
+ They speak English in most of the shops
- Always packed, so crowded (people from whole europe visits here even from Russia 😳)
- Prices are expensive
- Mostly you wait in lines in front of the outlet shops (Covid regulations)
- Compulsory mask and hand disinfection
- Very hot during the summer

An outdoor outlet mall, clean, organised and have almost all the big brands. It is 150 mins from Milan. You can go by taxi and cost you about 200 euro or by a shuttle bus that cost about 20 euro. Try to choose your time carefully because weather can make your experience are very bad especially in summer. They have variety of restaurants. Prices are not that cheap it differ than airport (tax free) by about 10%. Quite different than American outlets which give much low prices.
My experience was not bad. I recommend a visit but not a must.

This is by far the largest outlet I’ve come across in North Italy. They have plenty of brands to select from, and the walking area is well organized and quite decent. Plenty of seating and eatery’s to choose from. One could spend an easy 1-2 days here; mainly heavy shoppers. And July is the month of heavy sale, I believe.
Fahd Batayneh فهد بطاينة — Google review
The bigger brands like Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Burberry, Loro Piana... have more goods and selections to choose from (and just a matter of personal taste to get anything you like). Celine is disappointing though. Discount-wise is quite attractive.
Overall the outlet does have quite some shops to browse for a day leisurely. A few restaurants to choose from, and some reside on the other side of the main road which you can cross by a bridge.
We took the shuttle service from Milan Centrale. The morning trip took quite long as some shoppers bought tickets at the spot when onboarding and also stopped mid-point for more pickup. The bus left Centrale at 10:15 (instead of the scheduled 10:00) and arrived at the outlet around 11:50. The return trip left on time at 18:30 and arrived back to Centrale at 20:00. The shuttle staff was pleasant though.

When in search of designer brands (Gucci, Prada, Armani) or discounts on my favorites (Coach, Nike, Levis Tommy H.), I go here. Prices in Milan city center exceed my budget but I will always find something here. It's also near some nice vinyards. A good day trip from Milan or when traveling to Piedmont region.
Celia A. — Google review
Although the place is far from Milan, there is a direct bus tour from Milano Centrale. The ticket for the trip costs €25, and the bus departs at 09:00, arriving at 11:00. This gives you ample time to explore all the shops there. Please note the time schedule for the ticket; if your return ticket is for 16:15, you should be at the bus by that time, or else you will need to purchase a flexible ticket for an additional €5 and wait until the next hour to return to Milan. During my visit, not many shops were having sales, but the prices were reasonable, and the workers welcomed everyone with a smile. My advice is to go there on weekdays when it’s less crowded, making it easier to shop. The prices for food in the area are not very cheap but are acceptable. Anyway, I would like to visit again during the festive or sales seasons

But with few exceptions, the staff stares you down if underdressed or don’t look the buying customer, you have to ask them to apply a general discount if you show it to them in the app. Of the staff/experience I recommend: Twinset Milano and Zimmerman. Both shops have professional, kind consultants, ready to help and counsel.

Boccadasse is a primarily residential area that extends from an old fishing village. The houses are painted in soft pastel tones and adorned with green shutters, creating an inviting atmosphere. Along the pebble beach and harbor, one can find ice cream shops and relaxed bars, while local trattorias serve fish dishes and Genoese specialties with outdoor seating available. Visitors can enjoy views of the sea from the terrace near the Church of St. Anthony of Boccadasse.
The Aquarium of Genoa is the largest aquarium in Europe and features around 12,000 different species of fish and marine mammals. It's also home to six million litres (1.6m gallons) of water, making it one of the biggest aquariums in the world. The size of some of the tanks is impressive, especially for creatures like dolphins and sharks. Kids will love exploring all the exhibits, from manatees to coral reefs.
Book an early entrance (by 10am) so that there are fewer people so you can enjoy and see exhibits more easily. Price paid is fair. Lots to see. Don't miss the jellyfish and vivarium section. You need to cross to another side. Easily missed as you might think you're done.

Excellent aquarium. The layout and flow offer you different perspectives of the sharks, dolphins and seals at different points. The various world regions and animals are thorough.

A very nice aquarium with a variety of fish and aquatic animals. It’s worthwhile visiting and you could easily spend a couple of hours if not half a day. If you are with kids, you should plan on spending half a day here as there are plenty to see and will keep the kids interested. The exotic fish and marine life is well kept although one can always argue if the environment they are kept in is truly fair, especially for the marine mammals such as the dolphins and larger fish such as the sharks. The penguins are an added attraction here. You could take a break at the cafe inside the aquarium and spend some time taking in the views from the deck, with the views of the port.

I visited the aquarium with my school and it was a really nice experience. There is an enormous collection of all kind of sea creatures. We also saw penguins, crocodiles and turtles. Obviously there were also scary and strange sharks. Furthermore we were lucky enough to see a dolphin show.

After a quick breakfast, we visited the Aquarium of Genoa. We recommend going early in order to beat the crowds. It’s never that big of a crowd, although any crowd will obstruct your viewing experience. It’s very impressive, their selection. Penguins, piranhas, sturgeon, manatees, seals, dolphins, sharks, chameleons, jellyfish - they’ve got it all. Totally fun for the whole family and very fun to shoot video.

Very outdated, poorly maintained aquarium with dark lighting and foggy uncleaned glass. Some exhibits were nice, like the Seahorses. Be mindful that the signage directing you to the exhibits is very poor, you do not get a visitor map and there are few signs informing you of the right way to proceed. Especially confusing with the upper and lower levels. After we visited the Penguin enclosure we were brought to a giant white building that had little signs, other than for lockers or bathrooms. There was a big desk that read “Behind The Scenes” and that requires an extra ticket (€8). So we turned back, not even realizing there was another big section of the aquarium after that. Very poor layout and guidance. When we asked about the other exhibits on the pier, they told us to go outside and we will find the Biosphere €5 extra) and other things. That is when we realized there is a Dolphin tank and Tropical Rainforest area… but it was too late. Once you go outside, you can not re-enter. Of course, it’s sad that they keep dolphins in a small tank anyway, so probably better not to see that. And finally, we were surrounded by aggressive migrants forcing us to take bracelets and souvenirs and begging for money along the entire area of the aquarium. From the entrance to the exit. Almost no security around.
Overall, this aquarium should be priced around €15 for the quality of the current experience. After our visit, we felt let down and overcharged. I hope they consider a major renovation to improve the exhibits and signage and consider discontinuing the dolphin shows and instead use the facility to rehabilitate and release injured or abandoned dolphins.

Old Port Bar, also known as Porto Antico, is a historic waterfront area in Genoa that has been active since the fifth century BC. Renzo Piano's renovations have transformed the area into a vibrant hub featuring attractions such as an aquarium, museums, an open-air pool, and numerous restaurants and bars. The port holds significant historical landmarks like Palazzo San Giorgio, which was once a jail and housed the world's first bank in the early 1400s.
Friendly service and great food. We stopped in for lunch today. The food was incredible. Our server was very good and spoke a fair amount of English. The view of the port added to the overall wonderful experience!

Were looking for a place to drink ‘an aperitif’ but got sent away because it was lunch service. Whilst walking away got called back saying we could have a drink if we did not stay for more than 15 minutes. Next we sat waiting for them to take our order but got ignored for several minutes until we eventually walked out.

Wonderful late 18th century natural thermal spring. Be careful not to burn your hands, it's about 75°C in winter! The town itself offers lots of cozy bars and cafes and comes alive in the evening

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk ...
but it could be so much better. 4 years after the storm that had destroyed it in several places and still to be finished 👏. Total absence of benches along the way 😢 I don't find it very hospitable. The worst thing is the lack of distinction between the pedestrian and the cycling path ... leaving the latter free to run anywhere without respecting pedestrians. Very dangerous. The landscape pays off but as usual ... unfinished !!! 🤬
(Original)
Una bellissima passeggiata...
ma potrebbe essere molto meglio. A 4 anni dalla mareggiata che l'aveva distrutta in più punti e ancora da finire 👏. Totale assenza di panchine durante il percorso 😢 non lo trovo molto ospitale. La cosa peggiore è la mancanza di distinzione fra il percorso pedonale e quello ciclistico... Lasciando libertà a questi ultimi di correre ovunque senza rispettare i pedoni. Molto pericoloso. Il paesaggio ripaga ma come al solito... incompiuta!!! 🤬

(Translated by Google) The walk deserves 5 stars. It's a really nice place to walk, beautiful beaches and fantastic view.. But to be honest, something could be improved. Along the way there are very few benches, and being the walk itself quite long and without much shade, this could be a problem. There is also no bicycle lane, which can lead to collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.
(Original)
La passeggiata merita 5 stelle. È un posto davvero piacevole per passeggiare, spiagge stupende e vista fantastica.. Però, ad essere sinceri, qualcosa si potrebbe ottimizzare. Durante il percorso ci sono davvero poche panchine, ed essendo la passeggiata in se abbastanza lunga e senza molta ombra, ciò potrebbe essere un problema. Inoltre non esiste un pista per biciclette, il ché può provocare scontri tra ciclisti e pedoni.
WiMu Museo del Vino is a unique museum located in a medieval castle that offers interactive exhibits exploring the culture and tradition of wine. Situated in the quiet yet prosperous region of Piedmont, it provides an immersive experience for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can expect visually appealing and colorful displays, with educational material presented in a fresh and engaging manner. The museum's unconventional approach to its exhibits adds to its charm, offering a fun way to learn about wine history and facts.
What a fun museum to learn about wine history and facts. Really fun way the museum integrates each room into parts of the story. We also did the wine game which kept the kids going.
Overall worth the stop.

This is one of the worst museums that I have visited in Europe. Mostly it is full of nonsense rooms that are meant to be art. But they advertise this as a wine museum, not an art museum. There is an interesting story to tell about the history of the Barolo wine, but this museum doesn't even attempt to tell it. They really failed hard here. They should remove everything and hire a historian to oversee the creation of an actual wine museum.
The tower in Barbaresco had an Andy Warhol exhibition while we were there. It was much cooler and more interesting than this even though it is only a small tower.
The Barolo wine is amazing though.

Embarrassingly bad.
Far too much space and effort devoted to bizarre "art" installations (e.g. flying metronomes) while relevant content about the history of wine, wine growing in the region, the science of wine and flavour, etc was either nonexistent or relegated to a few tedious text plaques.
So disappointing. Such an interesting subject should have been dealt with in a really engaging way yet this museum seems to go out of its way to avoid doing that. Why??
Rich Martin — Google review
Joke of a museum. Nothing interesting on display and too much focus on airy-fairy (and amateur) art installations. For a region with such rich winemaking history, the curators have really fumbled on a great opportunity. Don't waste your time and money!

This is NOT a museum about wine. It's a random collection of arty farty nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with wine. For example one of the rooms is filled with metronomes fitted with angel wings hanging from the ceiling (see photo). The most interesting rooms are the ones that are not part of the museum, where you can sometimes get a glimpse of how the castle used to look before it was destroyed by the museum.
Willem Van den Bosch — Google review
Silly museum more about puppets than wine. Castle was cool with nice views. The mirror art rooms were the coolest. Wouldn’t bother going unless you need to kill time. 10-20 euro a person, too much for what it was.
The Castle of Racconigi, dating back to the 11th century, is a former royal summer palace located approximately 50 km from Turin. The castle boasts ornate decor, extensive parkland, and a large kitchen that visitors find fascinating. Although visits are only guided in Italian and assume knowledge of the Savoy family, the palace is still worth exploring. The grounds provide a stunning backdrop for this historical and artistic treasure.
Beautiful palace but it should be restored very soon...A lot damaged ceilings by water and most of the tapestries and silk covered furniture is damaged, too.

This former royal summer palace is easily reachable by train from Turin. Visits are only with a guide, only in Italian and assume visitors all know the various members of the Savoy family, but even if you can’t understand everything, the palace is still worth visiting - It certainly deserves more visitors.
On the regular tour, you visit the ground floor and kitchens. There are apparently special tours on certain days that include the bedrooms.
Sadly the park is currently closed, but it looked nice from the window.

If you come to Turin, for sure you should go and see the Summer Palace of Racconigi. It is situated approximately 50 km from Turin but it is one of the best castles to see. Big part of the castle passed under construction and it is really very nice to enter in and to hear the interesting and curiosity stories about the castle. There you can find maybe the most big Kitchen you have ever seen, you cannot even imagine, but I am sure you will like it and wish to come back again. Behind the castle there is one really big garden where you can go and relax after the tour in the castle. The price of visit is very low but it is worth seeing.
Racconigi and the castle is a place where you can see lots of stork every year. Four kilometers from the castle you can find the Center of Storks and Anatidae. In the center during all the years you can observe different kind of local and migrating birds.
Go there and you will be satisfied!

I can’t recommend Racconigi castle enough. As one of the House of Savoy’s favorite holiday homes, it still has an air of their presence and that of their staff. The grounds provide a stunning backdrop. My only recommendation is to go in the the warmer months when it’s a pleasure to stay outside and the castle itself isn’t too cold.

Monaco's upscale casino is a beautiful, famous building with luxurious surroundings. The casino has many different rooms with themes, and you can usually find expensive cars parked outside. You can also place bets on games like roulette and blackjack without having to worry about the cost too much.
The casino is magical. But the best is having lunch in the salone rose. The food is amazing and prices are low compared to the location.
But also, if you have a reservation at the restaurant, you don't pay the entrance to the casino. What else?!

Upscale and amazing AF! Men…you must have close toed shoes to enter the casino floor and there is a dress code that’s different in the afternoon vs the evening so make sure to know the dress code for when you’re going. Anyone can visit in the lobby. Bathrooms are $1 euro to enter. Absolutely stunning all around. Beautiful and exotic cars to be found parked outside in the front.

Although there is a line at the front, it actually didn’t take us very long time to get in to the building. Visit the building is free but it cost €17 to enter the casino. Remember to bring your passport if u want to play casino. The building is iconic and there was many movies filmed here. However it is a small place, you only need 10 mins to explore the whole place.

The Monte Carlo Casino is an exquisite masterpiece that transports visitors into a realm of opulence and sophistication. Nestled in the heart of Monaco, this iconic establishment exudes an aura of grandeur that is truly unparalleled. From the moment you step foot into its lavish halls, you're enveloped in an ambiance that effortlessly blends tradition with modernity.
The architecture is a testament to the timeless elegance that has come to define Monte Carlo. Intricately designed ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and ornate detailing showcase a level of craftsmanship that is both breathtaking and inspiring. The roulette tables and card games are like strategic battles, where wit and luck collide in a dance of excitement.
As a 15-year-old with a keen interest in history and culture, the Monte Carlo Casino provided a captivating lesson in both. Observing the diverse crowd of patrons, each engrossed in their games of chance, I couldn't help but appreciate the universality of human nature – the thrill of risk-taking and the pursuit of fortune.
The staff's impeccable service further elevated my experience. Courteous and knowledgeable, they effortlessly guided newcomers through the world of gambling, making it accessible and enjoyable for all.
In every aspect, the Monte Carlo Casino earns a resounding five stars from me. It is not just a place for gambling; it is a living masterpiece that immerses you in a realm of elegance, history, and entertainment. A must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable glimpse into the world of high-stakes allure.

We were able to take photos without any restrictions, the helpful staff even took a picture of us in the grand entrance hall.

Visited as seemed a place to see while in Monaco, but it was very busy and crawling with tourists and people looking at expensive cars.
The casino was full of slot machines, when you first look in, so not quite the grand interior I expected.
Glad I saw it and experienced the vibe around it, but not a place I'm in a hurry to visit again. I'd rather spend time in Eze or Antibes. Personal taste in the end.

We didn't go in, but the outside and grounds are beautiful. The 4 stars are because it states clearly on their website what the dress code is for entering, but they were letting men in with shorts and t-shirts. I'm guessing that if yiu have enough money, they don't care how you're dressed.

What a great casino to visit! I wasn't sure I could get in, but it is no problem to see the foyer, and the inside is beautiful - you just can't go into the casino area unless you're dressed correctly and your pockets are full of money. You can pay to have a tour, but it is worth your time if you aren't gambling to just go inside to see the grandeur of the building.

Disappointed. They had fancy cars in front of the casino. I don’t understand why people give so good reviews.

No people really play seriously.

Phenomenal....So James Bond!
The casino is everything that Hollywood has made it to be. The energy, the ambiance, and the mystery.
It's worth your time to visit it twice. Come during the day and make another visit during the evening hours. You will walk away with different perspectives. There is an entrance fee to the casino (18E) that can be credited towards game play.
The casino also provides daytime tours for individuals and families. Grab a beverage at the adjacent Cafe de Paris, and people watch to your hearts desire. There are also multiple restaurants within the casino that are open to the public (make a reservation in advance).

recently visited the Monte Carlo Casino and had a unique experience. The entry fee was 18€, which included 10€ credit for the slot machines - a fair deal to kickstart the gaming. While the casino was enjoyable, I did notice a lack of variety in gaming options. It’s important to note that the casino opens in the evening, so do check the timings before planning your visit. One of the highlights for me was the atmosphere outside the casino. The area buzzes with a fantastic vibe, enhanced by the parade of luxury cars. It’s quite a spectacle and adds to the overall charm of the place. For anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind experience in a luxurious setting, Monte Carlo Casino is definitely worth a visit.

Maybe I was expecting too much, but this wasn't special by any means. First, they charge you a fee to enter, and the women doing so were fairly rude doing it. Next, you go through security, and I went to the cage to exchange currency. Their exchange rate was crazy and they pocketed at least another 150 over the rate. When exchanging, I asked if drinks were included, and he said yes. We go to a roulette table change out a grand and orde drinks. Drinks come, and they want 80 Euros for them and argue the cage was wrong. The place is as beautiful as every picture you have ever seen. In the stain glass, you can see the year 1889, and the architecture is magnificent, but unfortunately, and probably most important to a casino was the vibe. This place was as dead as a cemetery at midnight. I would estimate less than 40 people in the entire place. No excitement, no winning, no atmosphere, just a nice building where they take your money. (That said, I won 300 😉 and still felt it was a bust)

We didn't go inside the casino to gamble because we were only on a day trip from Nice and preferred to wander around the city. It was pretty empty since it was still preseason and raining. Even if you're not into gambling, it's worth checking out the free rooms you can enter. And if you do decide to gamble, the prices aren't too bad for a world-famous casino, so it's something to consider.

Definitely the best casino I’ve been to, full stop. Extraordinary atmosphere and fair game. The dealers were being really patient to my friend who’s not so familiar to black jack which was so nice, also the staff members were being really welcoming as well. The architecture itself was already worth it for buying the ticket and everything was so detailed and exquisite. First time visiting Monaco and just the casino alone worth revisiting this lovely country, will come here again. Strongly recommend here even if you don’t gamble.

The renowned Casino Square in Monaco is surrounded by lavish eateries and the famous Casino De Monte-Carlo. The plaza hosts live events and is situated amidst stunning gardens that lead up to it. Visitors can marvel at the opulent architecture of the building, even if they do not wish to enter the casino itself. This square played a significant role in the rise of prominence of Monaco as a modern-day principality.
Amazing, such an opulent building and surrounding very nice to get some pictures even if you don't want to go in the casino. The gardens which run up to the square are nice also.

Walked in to the casino wanting to play roulette in the high rollers area which I have played in before & was denied by a very rude director after explaining to him I was going to be betting a lot of money. They are quick to judge especially not knowing how much money I bet and ruining my casino experience. Im platinum and gold EVERYWHERE!!! As a very high roller with top tier at most of the major casinos in the world I would not recommend this place as I have never been rejected or treated this way before. I am always treated like a king when I gamble and here a peasant! No thank you, bad customer service. Maybe train the staff!!! I won’t be coming back.

The Monaco Casino Square is a spectacle to behold, surrounded by stunning architecture and meticulously kept grounds. While it's a must-visit for tourists and car enthusiasts alike, our experience fell a bit short of expectations.

Nonetheless, we made the most of our visit by exploring the area behind the casino, enjoying the sea view, and discovering the famous soccer hand/footprints and signatures.

We visited the square infront of the famous Monte Carlo casino and left a bit dissapointed. The roundabout is a walking zone and only a few of the "nice sport cars" were parked so actually nothing much to see. Took a picture and moved on behind the casino for the sea view and famous soccer hand/footprints and signatures.

Exceptional architecture which is made better by the beautiful surroundings and well maintained complex. This is a must visit for every tourist and car lovers as you get to see many of the most beautiful ones very closely.

The casino is like a fancy palace, and it's okay-ish. You have to pay to go in, and there are rules about how you should dress. When I put up a tripod to take pictures outside, a security guard quickly told me to take it down.

This was the Monte-Carlo Rally, Monaco. Great for petrol heads like me.

Best and magic time of the year in Monaco!
In Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol,' he emphasizes the importance of humanity, compassion, and kindness towards others. He highlights universal values of humanity that transcend religious boundaries, emphasizing the significance of compassion and aiding others."
The Musee Oceanographique de Monaco, established by navigator and oceanographer Prince Albert I, is a world-renowned museum situated on the edge of a cliff since 1910. The museum boasts an impressive aquarium with over 6000 specimens including sharks, marine predators, and tropical fish separated by coral reefs.
Very beautiful ocean aquarium museum with so much information about each fish and creature, interactive boards and a lovely gift store to buy soveiners. It's a grand building so beautiful 😍

Must visit place. I’ve travelled a lot, and it’s a first place with a crystal clean aquarium glasses, which makes a huge difference in perception of wonderful sea creatures. The adventure atmosphere is in every museum corner. Before visiting, please check in advance the main exhibition and 3d adventure open hours. Enjoy!

Really good for families with young children. The aquarium had beautiful sea creatures, including small fish, different species of sharks as well as a giant turtle. Really well coordinated, with a great oceanic museum, a nice outdoor restaurant and a mini play area at the above terrace with a beautiful view overseeing yhe coast. Highly recommended when in Monaco.

Nice and interesting, aquarium part was the best. A couple years ago you could pet sharks but we didn’t find the tank now.
It’s not cheap but it’s understandable, there are many animals to take care of.
I do not recommend going on the rooftop without sunglasses during the day ! It’s gonna blind you.

Lovely place. It is not the largest or most rich museum of this type, but it is really worth seeing because it has interesting specimens and an aesthetic, interesting way of presenting it. The service was okay, the prices were not too high. In my opinion, it is worth an hour or two for sightseeing. And there is a nice gift shop at the end - which also sells interesting books.

If you’re in Monaco and you have kids, then you must visit this marvelous aquarium!! It’s is so well laid out, with amazing fish tanks and interactive rooms and exhibits. I would definitely return, if I come back to Monaco.

Nice aquarium and museum all in one. Prices are not bad, especially for the 1 year membership.
Good place to take your kids. Lots of different species which is nice.

Amazing museum, great technical solutions, informative signs and beautiful creatures in the aquariums. Fits for all generations, everyone should visit and expect that's big so can spend inside 2-3 hours or more easily. One tiny minus is that related to the recent royal family there is bit too much hype, for my taste (installation, footage, even a painting).

Extremely beautiful place. Different zones. Highly recommended Mission Polar this year. Beautiful nature around. Aquarium best. Tickets after 17-00 are cheaper you can buy online.

I always bring my friends and family here when they visit. Everyone always enjoys coming here.
They have a lot of aquariums and an outdoor area with turtles and tortoises.
If you go to the top floor, you’ll get an amazing view of the principality from the rooftop. There is also a little cafe there. They do different events, from lectures and seminars to immersive experiences.
You can buy a discounted student ticket for both the oceanography museum and the zoo, or the palace.

Wow!! A must visit. Approx 50€ for a family of 4. We spent over 3 hours exploring the many areas including an outdoors aquarium with fish and a 60kg turtle, Samy! Lots of different species to look at with explanations in English which was helpful! Very clean and lots of toilet opportunities. Once out of the aquarium part, make sure you explore the 1st floor, it has lots of interactive things to do with children.

Best aquarium I have ever seen! Way way better that the one in Barcelona! Would recommend to everyone. Make sure you go at the top floor terrace after you are finished to see a great view on the city of Monaco! 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would give 50 stars if I could. A fantastic place not to be missed by anyone visiting Monaco. Beautiful cleanliness everywhere, they are very kind. Whether it's part of the museum or the aquarium, it's an unforgettable experience. The most wonderful was the Mission Polar exhibition, it was incredibly wonderful! Thank you very much! I bought the ticket online in advance, so it was a good price with a combined ticket with the prince's car collection. It's very interactive. It was the most memorable place for us in Monaco. The building is beautiful.

A very neat experience! The Aquarium was quite crowded, but it had a lot of specimens and lots of aquatic life that I don't often see displayed. In addition the museum was interesting to go through. It had lots of information about Monaco's involvement with sea exploration. It also had a lot of information on climate change and how we can make an impact.

This place is worth a visit, a very good Aquarium.
There is the usual indoor section, in addition there is an outdoor section and a large museum upstairs with a lot of naval history and interactive attractions and articles within.
Price was reasonable, individual prices and not a family deal.
Tickets bought at the entrance and access was straight away. There were barriers for busier times, so I anticipate it gets busier.
There is also a large room upstairs with all the walls being screens and plays a number of videos about the north and South Pole and tether climates, also with interaction

I spent about 3 hours here. They have all the fish aquariums you’d probably expect to see, and I loved all of it. It’s easy to get caught up watching these marine life.
Make sure to also go upstairs! There’s information on Prince Albert’s explorations of the ocean and also a semi-interactive experience of the north and South Pole that I really enjoyed. I posted some videos of it as well.

Great museum. The aquarium is a bit dated. Take your time through the museum exhibits. Visit the rooftop terrace for a spectacular 360 view.
Scott Bigelow — Google review
Great place, worth a visit. A bit hard to understand where to start, so it is easy to miss a floor. I recommend to start on the bottom floor and go up. Also worth to know if you are staying in nice/France that internet is not working here, and it's not possible to book Uber because there is no uber in Monaco. My lifesaver was a phone outside (next to ticket shop) the phone is for taxi and they are pretty fast.

The museum is housed in an impressive building, right near the sea. The exhibits themselves are ok, but below what you can see in Valencia for example.
The view from the top terrace is really nice.

Loved my experience at this museum that also educated visitors on the importance of disposing waste properly. The tortoise and turtle sanctuary was the highlight of the trip as I was lucky enough to be there during a feeding session.

The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco is one of those places that is recommended to be visited when you are in the principality. The museum has two lower floors and three floors above. The lower floors are the aquariums, which I would describe as the sea creatures zoo, and, irrespective of in what glamorous condition they are kept, is animal abuse in glorified clothes. The upper floors, though, were very interesting as they focused on polar exploration and the role that Monaco has played and is still playing in conserving the oceans and the environment.

Went on a Tuesday afternoon. The aquarium is on the small side but has some interesting sea creatures. On the up floor there was a sea exploration exhibit that I wish was larger. But overall it was something to do for an hour.
It's also notable that the views are excellent.
Worth the admission fee.

An absolutely amazing experience, there were so many exhibitons. I spent 2-3 hours wandering through the entire museum. Unfortunately, I went over the weekend, which was quite crowded so I'd recommended going earlier in the day or over the week. All in all, great experience, stunning views, well worth the admission price
