What an amazing little town, well worth the walk from the truck stop

Part of the tour was not available due to flooding, so only four stars. The price was reduced accordingly. The guide was excellent and we enjoyed our visit. We were the only couple on our half-hour tour. Advisable to let them know when you want to visit.

Mind blowing :)
We visited the fontanea (spa place 🙂) and the aqua ducts (2km of it)
Roman culture and constructions are amazing
Costin — Google review
Very interesting history of Orte's underground. Read about it on Google. If you plan on visiting you should call ahead and schedule the tour. No one is at the office unless they know you are coming in for the tour. Take the 1 hour tour. It's 8€ and a guide walks you through the many nooks and tunnels. Our guide was amazing.

Amazing, not sure why anyone would go to Orte and NOT do the underground tour. The guide was very informative and waited for us to find the location since Google maps pointed us in the wrong direction. Price for the long tour was only 7€.

Marcin Kawko (folkkawek) — Google review
What a great experience! Learning the history of the town, how and why the people built what is essentially a maze of underground tunnels was really enjoyable. The kids loved it!
Marmore Falls is an incredible man-made attraction consisting of three sections and boasting the title of the world's tallest artificial waterfall. With a height of 83 meters, it's a breathtaking sight to behold. However, the only downside is that its working hours are limited due to seasonal changes. Visitors can witness a small amount of water flowing continuously until high flow is scheduled for only a few hours in accordance with their timetable.
Gorgeous! Keep in mind the water is released twice a day only! See the schedule. A very nicely maintained park area! Suitable for kids of all ages (the Lower part / Inferiore). Would take around an hour+ to slowly walk around and enjoy. Parking (2€/h), nice food facilities and souvenires. Highly recommend.
Yulia Belskaya — Google review
Useful tips
Marmore is located near the city of Terni (which is ~1 hour by train from Rome). The park has two entrances. To the lower one it is more convenient to get from Terni by bus (on the Trenitalia website choose the stop Cascata delle Marmore), and to the upper one – by train (get off at Marmore stop). If you are that rare traveler from the Sulmona or L'Aquila, go straight to Marmore.
A train ticket gives a discount on a ticket to the park - 8€ instead of 10.
The park and waterfall schedule changes every month! Do not believe the reviews that say to arrive at 11, or at 15, or at 20 - check the schedule yourself on the official website!
The Lovers Balcony (the balcony behind the waterfall) is accessible only with a guided tour. There are only 30 places, so be sure to buy tickets in advance on the official website. The cost is 3€. You will meet near the lower viewpoint, and first the guide will tell you about the waterfall itself. If you do not speak Italian, you can either try your luck and ask to speak English (it helped us!), or go to Wiki (all the info is there). Then you'll go to the balcony itself. You get wet in a second!! You can buy a raincoat in the park for 1€, but I recommend bringing your own reusable one so you don't have to worry about the think flimsy plastic one. If you also have shoe covers, it's perfect :)) The tour lasts an hour and ends somewhere halfway between the upper and lower viewpoints. Being inside the waterfall is a very unusual experience, I liked it :)
From the lower viewpoint you can see the entire waterfall, from the upper one you can see only one cascade, but closer. So both are spectacular, but in different ways. The path from the upper viewpoint to the lower one takes, by park estimates, 20 minutes, back it's 35.
The guide said that from route 4 (sentiero 4) there is a very good view, but we did not have time to check.He also recommended sentiero 2.
There is rafting in the park!

Magnificent artificial waterfall, well maintained park.
The trails allow you to admire the three jumps of the waterfall from various points.
Yami Yume — Google review
Waterfalls really impressive. We arrived just 20 minutes before “switching off” water, so paid half price ticket. Water closing actually takes at least 30 minutes. The only thing we didn’t like: very inefficient organization of ticket sales: tickets office is at far end of parking, good way from entrance. People who didn’t notice messy signs pointing tickets office and go directly to entrance, need to turn back and walk all the way back again to get tickets.
Baiba Miezere — Google review
Beautiful place 😍
It’s difficult to believe that these waterfalls are man-made. The tallest one is 83 meters.
The only problem is the timing when the waterfalls start working.
There is always small amount of water. And then by the schedule, they turn on high flow for few hours.
Since now the season is over, working time is limited. However, the schedule published on the website is not updated.
Stanislava Slava — Google review
Very beautiful view. The trails are suitable for everyone. Raincoat is sold inside and costs 1 euro. The 6th track is more suitable for professionals. 😍🍀

The adult ticket is 12€. When flow is at its lowest, the rocks can be seen through the falls. Prior to the flow being fully reopened, a long siren sounds!

Amazing waterfalls. Artificial made by the Romans. Beautiful park. We started at the top. We arrived at 10 o clock. Waterfalls starts at 11 o clock. We walked down to 1, 2, 4 and back to the top.
Globe Trotter — Google review
Beautiful series of waterfall, the largest one being really massive and impressive. Well maintained paths! Can get very wet, slippery and muddy so wear appropriate clothing.
We went here in winter and it was really cool but it is probably absolutely stunning in summer or spring!
Thomas Edlich — Google review
Beautiful to see that this is 2300 years old and is also used for generating electricity nowadays! From May 5th 2023 parking prices are doubled, so it's not €5,- but € 10,- a day!
When walking up and down at a normal speed with taking pictures, it'll take you approximately 3 hours. Watch the timetables as the waterfall does not always work!
And one tip: also check if the buses are driving.... We had the down walk first, wanted to go by bus to the top, but lady from info said that the buses didn't drive. So we took the 600 steps stairs up in 30°C.

Flavia — Google review
It was a astonishing experience. The view was perfect. You must visit the web site before going there to check the water release times. There were several different routes offering different views. You can park the car easily either to the parking lots just across the ticket office for 2€/hour or 5 minutes walking distance parking lot 8€ until end of the day.

It was the first time in my life visiting Santa Rita, it’s a very beautiful experience, I loved the experience, the visit, the people there, how friendly they are, it’s an amazing place to visit and to pray! Try to ask about the time when the sisters open the door to go and see the ring of Santa rita and her rosaria the one she was using to pray! Please go to this place and try to not use your telephone there and benefit as much as you can from your time there! Love you Sainte Rita ♥️

A Basilica with bold colour scheme, the devotion to St Rita, patronage for lost & Impossible causes may not be known to many, many who do come to venerate her uncorrupt body. The lower chapel displayed the cut out of the breviary with a mark left by a Eucharistic miracle (do a search online for the back story), an added bonus to the visit.

The Bridge of Towers in Umbria is a 10-arch Roman aqueduct bridge that is stunningly beautiful and spans a steep gorge between two fortresses. It is one of Umbria's most famous attractions and can be seen from up above in many paintings.
My favorite place in Spoleto. Right now it's under restoration, hence it's not possible to cross the bridge and start a hike at Giro dei Condotti. Let's hope it will be open soon.
Lorenzo Castellana — Google review
Beautiful view. The bridge is amazing and ancient, about 80mt high with two towers on the side. This is also called the " Bridge of suicides". Unfortunately is closed after the sismic movements of the last years and you cannot cross it. Nevertheless absolutely worth a visit.
Luca — Google review
Ponte delle torri is a very strong robust structure which withstood all the tests of time. Right from the times of Romans. And you can see that it is still looking as strong and as valid today as it must have been then. Although it is not in use but it is fully functional even today.
Mukesh Dabral — Google review
the bridge is closed so can't across to the other part. Is it nice ? yes it is but we don't go there just to have the possibility to take a photo which we can find in the Internet , we need more, However it still deserve a visit.
Nabeel Alkharraz — Google review
Spoleto, and it's old aqueduct, is really worth a visit. It's very easy to get around and, especially during a sunny winter's day, the view on the surrounding mountains and the valley is amazing. Right now (December 2018) the aqueduct, which is also a bridge, cannot be crossed.
Marlon Sardini — Google review
Unfortunately shut, so you cannot cross at the time of writing. A shame, as there are some lovely walks, but it’s a long way round with the bridge shut.
Sean Perry — Google review
Not only is the bridge closed, but access to the path to Monteluco on the other side is not accessable either. However there is a path 200m up the hill, to the left that joins up to the path junction. Follow the yellow/blue marks. The diversion maps that have been posted are totally useless.
Trevor Collins — Google review
Really nice place! You can reach it in easy way, because there are escaltors in Spoleto. I recommend first go on too and then walk down
Pavla Schneiderová — Google review
emerging from the mediterranean scrub near nîmes in southern france, the ancient roman pont du gard aqueduct runs for a heroic 140m before disappearing again into the bush. impressive though it is, after walking its length, there’s not much to do except head back for the coach-filled car park. if you’re after more, however, consider the ponte delle torri in umbria, an equally awesome aqueduct with added bonuses.
no one is sure exactly when the ponte delle torri was built, but it’s thought to date to about the 14th century. it brought water from the mountains to the upper part of spoleto, and served another purpose: bookending the 230m span are two castles, the fearsome medieval fortress of rocca and the mulini fort. the bridge itself is certainly an impressive sight, and so too are the views from it. the thickly wooded tessino valley extends in both directions while the solent apennines rear ahead. after pausing to take it all in, it’s mere minutes to the center of spoleto itself. a town of narrow streets, early christian basilicas and a lovely cathedral, spoleto is named one of italy’s most beautiful towns. contemplating the rugged scenery, it seems hard to believe a thriving medieval town lies just meters from your back.
the intercity from rome takes just more than an hour to reach spoleto.
Spoleto Cathedral is a beautiful religious building in the city of Spoleto in Italy. The cathedral was built during the 12th-century, and it features a mosaic painting of Christ giving the benediction on its facade. The interior of the cathedral is filled with beautiful Byzantine icons and other incredible works of art. Over the years, the cathedral has undergone a number of improvements, most recently in the 17th-century.
An amazing work of art. It's view is beautiful both at night and during the day.

Piani Di Castelluccio is a high plateau in Umbria known for its vibrant fields of lentils and colorful flowers that bloom during spring and summer, turning the countryside into a stunning rainbow.

(Translated by Google) A really great place to visit when traveling in Umbria.
Driving the pass roads is a lot of fun and the views are wonderful. You get a completely different impression of Umbria.
The drive from Perugia to the plateau, for example, is also very beautiful. You drive (if you don't just take the main road) through a wonderful hilly landscape with lots of viticulture. This is how you imagine Italy in a painting. Clear recommendation.

Ein wirklich toller Ort für einen Ausflug, wenn man in Umbrien unterwegs ist.
Die Passstraßen zu fahren macht viel Spaß und die Aussicht ist wundervoll. Man gewinnt nochmal einen ganz anderen Eindruck von Umbrien.
Auch ist die Fahrt von bspw. Perugia in die Hochebene sehr schön. Man fährt (wenn man nicht nur die Hauptstraße nimmt) durch eine wundervolle Hügellandschaft mit viel Weinbau. So stellt man sich Italien auf einem Gemälde vor. Klare Empfehlung.

Todi is a hilltop town town in Umbria with amazing views . Since the centre of town is ZTL ( which means you have to park outside the walls and if you make the mistake of driving in, trust me, the fine will@arrive in the mail 🥲) Todi offers excellent options to get their visitors to the centre. Once parked in the Public paid parking there is either a shuttle bus every 15 minutes or a funicular into town, both of which are offered free.

This is a beautiful medieval square in the middle of an idyllic town. Well worth the drive. Found parking in the adjacent Piazza Garibaldi, and driving around the narrow streets to get in and out was a good experience.
Patrick Ellul — Google review
The townsquare is offcourse fabulous, like all the squares in the old Italian towns. The town Todi as a whole is spectacular. A must visit, but the Piazza in it self is nothing special compared to all the other Piazzas in nearby towns. I'd say the connected Piazza Garibaldi is way nicer. It is smaller, has a really breathtaking view over the landscape beneath, and also a nice small cozy restaurant.
Lago di Fiastra, a reservoir nestled in Monti Sibillini National Park since 1955, is a popular spot for various activities such as kayaking, swimming, and fishing. The scenic drive to the lake offers breathtaking views and the clear waters make it an ideal place for swimming and sunbathing. Visitors can also enjoy light refreshments at reasonable prices. This dog-friendly destination is perfect for a tranquil swim or renting sports gear.

The Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli is a 16th-century church where St. Francis founded his order in Umbria. The church boasts a history and art museum, and is located outside of Assisi, making it ideal to have a car if one wants to visit. Mass is held on Sunday mornings, but visitors can still explore the grounds during this time.
This Francis-linked site is a bit off the main trek, but should be considered essential and is actually rather easy to reach, particularly if coming in by train. It is an easy 1/2 mile stroll from the station.
Once there you will not only find the stone chapel that Francis and followers rebuilt at the start of his ministry, but a chapel marks the place of his death.
The complex is vast with interesting displays of creches, some focus on telling the story of Clair, and a large bookshop.
Connection between the train station and Assisi is available by a city bus ride - buy inexpensive tickets from the helpful shop at the station - that transports one near the top of town where gravity can lead you through the town.

A church within a church. The little church marked the place where St Francis of Assisi died, a church, the size of a hut was built to mark the place and some years later, a much bigger church, a Basilica, was built encapsulated the little church. The remains of St Francis of Assisi is in the tomb up the hill. The monks led the praying of the rosary in the little church, I witnessed much piety and reverence from the community. Thanks be to God.

I think everyone knows of this place if they visit Umbria. It is very famous but is a bit outside Assisi I recommend having a car if you want to get here. They have mass on Sunday mornings but you can still enter to look around even during mass which was a bit weird but still worth a look.

Highly decorative inside and huge. A rose garden can also be seen from inside and there are gorgeous vaulted ceilings too along the corridors.

What an amazing little original church. It so suited St Francis. The elaborate one built around it, to protect it, would not have earned his approval. Nevertheless it is well worth the visit.

A very nice basilica in Assisi, probably often overlooked because people flock up to the hilltop to the town and the more famous basilica and other attractions. This is on the other side of the main train station of Assisi. It’s actually walkable distance from the train station. There is a nice museum, rose garden and gift shop in side as well. The piazza Della Porziuncola in front of the basilica is quite large and nice to walk around and take in the beauty of this place.

Amazing basilica build around the Porciuncula, a small chapel by St Francis
Alexander C. Reid — Google review
This is a very special place because inside this enormous church is the tiny church worshipped in by St Francis of Assisi. At the moment the outer church has scaffolding around much of the dome and inside as many repairs are taking place. However, you can still see the impressive art work and architecture. The small church is very special and still has the frescos inside. You can walk along a special bricked pathway from Assisi.

Often overlooked, but worth your time. Inside the Basilica , you will find the Porziuncola, where the young St. Francis prays , reflects and understood his vocation. At the back of the Basilica there are a lot of parking spaces. A must see if you are in Assissi.

The basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is a Roman Catholic rite church located in Assisi . It has the dignity of a papal basilica and inside there is the Porziuncola , the chapel where Francis of Assisi gathered in prayer , and for this reason the center of Franciscan spirituality. On top of the facade of the temple stands the statue of the Madonnain gilded bronze modeled by Colasanti and cast by the Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry of Florence .
Michelle de Rotterdam — Google review
It's a beautiful basilica but it's going through a renovation/fixing era. Therefore you're not going to be able to fully enjoy the church with its paintings. However, you will have a special moment for prayer there and one relic from San Francisco. You'll also be able to witness the rose garden of San Francisco and the little cell in which he used to sleep about other little treasures like the gift shop.

Eremo delle Carceri is a hermitage and oratory located on a forested hillside that dates back to the 13th century. It was an important place of worship for St Francis and other saints who lived there during that time, making it a holy ground filled with their spiritual essence. The peaceful environment of the woods provides an ideal setting for deep meditation and prayer, offering visitors a chance to connect with heaven.
If Francis has ever provoked something within you, this is a great place to come; to sit in a chapel service, to offer a short prayer in his cave and see how drastically different his method of following Jesus was from us today or walk and pray the many trails that intersect the area as you search for God. Highly recommend a full day—don’t just come and see—come, pray and search for what is behind what caught your attention about St. Francis in the first place.
Joshua — Google review
If you go to Assisi, a beautiful sanctuary to go to is Eremo Della Carceri. You can walk the 4 km up hill, with spectacular views which takes between 1-1 1/2 hrs. There is a welcome cafe at the entrance 🙂. The caves here are where St Francis and his brothers lived and prayed and the monastery was built around them. The grounds on the mountainside are so peaceful to walk and pray in. The monastery has some small passages and narrow stairways, but this adds to the atmosphere. The monks there are very welcoming. Beautiful.
Debbie Rumsby — Google review
If you visit Assisi, the Eremo delle Carceri is the perfect destination to follow the footsteps of St Francesco. If you decide to walk up, it is a 4,1km, approx. 1,5 hours steep uphill rocky hike, but it is well worth it, as the scenery is breathtaking. The hermitage is just pure serenity, the perfect place to connect to St Francesco. You can feel all that he stood for. It is a truly sacred place.

One of the best Holy Place to pray, meditate and think in the whole world. Just get into those Holy Woods, sit, think and pray. You'll completely understand what I mean. The same air, trees, paths are filled with the Holiness of the Saints that lived there in the XIII century. You can't miss this place.

The Basilica of Santa Chiara is a 13th-century church located in Assisi Square. It is dedicated to Saint Clare, the founder of the Order of Poor Ladies, and contains the tomb of St. Clare. The church is very beautiful and well worth seeing.
Santa Chiara...I woke up every day seeing sun slowly rising above Santa Chiara. Yes, serene.
And that to have luxury to pray every morning before St. Francis cross there, priceless.
You can feel that it all started here.

The striped facade in side is simple but very beautiful, the side buttresses give it might, like the faith of all pilgrims. The Basilica is dedicated to the founder of the Poor Clares and her crypt is located below which is accessible to the public for FREE. Strictly no photo.

A truly beautiful place to be. Occasionally it will get a bit noisy, but it calms down soon enough. The tomb of St. Clare shows a beautiful testimony of her life and is an excellent dedication to her, as are the relics which can be seen just after you visit the tomb area. There is the main altar area, the side chapel (which houses the tabernacle and is especially dedicated to silent prayer), and the altar above which the original cross of San Damiano hangs. Each one provides a different atmosphere in which to pray or to simply be present, and all are wonderful. There is nothing like gazing upon the original Sam Damiano cross. Definitely do not miss this church in Assisi.

We skipped our group lunch to walk to the Basilica. It was amazing and so worth it. The church is so beautiful. This is a MUST see!
The Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi is a historic church and Christian pilgrimage site. It is situated on a hillside and features remarkable Gothic architecture adorned with medieval artwork. Originally built as an ancient hospital, the Palazzo del Monte Frumentario, it now houses two separate churches stacked on top of each other. UNESCO recognizes this architectural masterpiece as a World Heritage Site since 2000.
This cathedral is an awe-inspiring place! All the frescos by Giotto are masterpieces. The place is steeped into history, religion and significance. Well worth the daily trip from Rome.
Hugo Pedro-Martins — Google review
A tranquil beautiful place. The building was quite overwhelming in its quiet magnificence. So disappointed not to be able to take photos but totally understood. The ceilings around the altar are so breathtaking in their beauty. The architecture and different painted scenes are complex and overwhelming in the skill seen. Some of the best I have witnessed in my journey to Rome and Assissi. Italy's architectural gifts are blessed. The crypt where the remains of St Francis lies is small well lit staffed and busy. There are pews to rest upon to enjoy moments of quiet reflection and candles can be purchased which are lit after one's departure. The views from outside the Basilica are far reaching and splendid. A place to hold in the heart.
Carole Dyehouse — Google review
The Basilica of St. Francis is marvellous and mystical place, bringing together a number of renaissance masterpieces and an extraordinary architectonic complexity. Cimabue, Giotto, the Lorenzetti brothers, Simone Martini – the greatest artists of the 14th Century, have painted frescoes on the walls and ceilings of this place. An obligatory destination for believers and non-believers alike, appreciating art and architecture.
M. Maietta — Google review
We enjoyed walking the streets of the little village of Assisi.
Assisi was the birthplace of St. Francis, who founded the Franciscan religious order in 1208.
Papal Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi was where St. Francis was born and died. The Basilica consists of an upper and lower sanctuary, where St. Francis is buried. The church is decorated with gorgeous geometric designs, frescoes painted in many colors, some with gold stars on a blue painted background.
The best is to hire a private guide, and I recommend this, to understand the historical significance of this holy site,
but I used my phone to get the right info.

This was my second time to come here, and the experience is surreal. The serenity of the place, the architecture to marvel at, everything comes together. A place to go for the religious. Take time to visit and reflect on the life of Saint Francis.

The Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi is a truly awe-inspiring place. The architectural beauty and grandeur of the basilica are simply breathtaking.

Erik Hagen Nymoen — Google review
A beautiful church with an interesting history. It was built in the 13th century on a hill where death sentences were carried out, known as Hell's Hill. Later the name was changed to Paradise Hill (after the canonization of St. Francis). Here is the tomb of St. Francis.
When visiting the basilica, it is worth strolling the streets of Assisi. However, only 8 km away (approx. 20 minutes by car) there is another Basilica with an atmospheric, tiny church inside, rebuilt by St. Francis.

A historic and amazing basilica, obviously a must visit while you are in Assisi. Must visit both the Inferiore (lower) and Superiore (upper) basilica areas. The Inferiore piazza is quite large as captured in these pictures. The basilica superiore is so peaceful and serene, true to the nickname of Assisi, the city of peace, no wonder a UNESCO a World heritage site. If you have only a day to spend here, would recommend visiting the basilica in the evening hours, as you can make a the most the most out of it with the spectacular views during the sunset hours from up top of the whole area and the valley.

Beautiful sanctuary, it is really amazing to walk around and see how beautiful it is inside. It has high and lower levels. In the lower level, you can find the tomb of Saint Francis de Assisi. It was the most spiritual place I visited recently. There is also a shop downstairs you need to go straightforward up to the end of the high level then take the stairs to go down. To find the Basilica you have to walk 15 minutes but there are a lot of shops around and restaurants, a good tip is to go early in the morning to enjoy the place and walk through the medieval small roads. You can find parking inside the town or outside in the public parking. Really amazing place!

Casa Del Cioccolato Perugina is a museum that showcases the history and culture of chocolate manufacturing. It offers visitors the opportunity to learn about the process of making high-quality chocolate through exhibitions, cooking classes, and guided tours in Italian or English. Additionally, there are demonstrations by chocolatiers, videos explaining the history of chocolate, massive tastings of different kinds of chocolates and factory tours available for visitors to enjoy.
An extensive tour of the famous ‘Baci’ chocolate factory and adjoining museum. Event (pre-booked on their website) starts off with a video feature, followed by some tasty chocolate samples, and a guided tour starting with an exhibition on how it all started, with an extensive display of the many products sold and on sale, ending with an overhead walk along the factory and a well-stocked shop with items for sale. All you chocolate lovers this is worth a visit to set you dreaming!

We went there without any appointment. But lucky us, we still got a chance to join an Italian group to visit the factory. Although we don’t speak any Italian, the guide lady was super friendly and nice! She played an introduction video in English and explained to us in English as well. And the workers at the factory look so happy.
Last but not least, the entire factory smells sooooooo yummy 😋
Highly recommend to visit! We had a lot of fun there. Of course, it would be better to check their schedule before going, they have English tour as well.

Great tour and history presentation of the Perugina and Baci brands. And yes they give samples. Bear in mind that we arrived at the off season so the tours were only in Italian, but I guess that when it gets busy there are English tours too.

We called their number and made a reservation for an English tour in advance. The entrance is closed from 1300h to 1400h (and they did not open it early despite seeing lots of us waiting outside in the sun).
Adult tickets are €10 each; children accompanied by an adult are €8 (you buy tickets there).
The 1400h tour started at 1412h. Our guide was Gloria, she speaks English very well, and was very friendly with the group.
She gave a short introduction and then we watched a ten minute video about the history and how their chocolate is made (disappointing that Perugina company was taken over by Nestle). Then we had a five to ten minute period of sampling chocolate (four Baci, one dark OR milk chocolate egg, and one Milky Bar and one After Eight - seven chocolates in total).
The group all went to the museum portion together where Gloria explained more of the history, etc... (probably about 15 minutes).
Then we went to tour the factory (probably about 15 minutes). It was unfortunate that we didn't see the chocolate being made on the assembly line (nothing was coming out on the machines), but we did see the chocolate being boxed up.
We got into their shop area just over an hour after the start of the tour (around 1530h).
This is an ok thing if you're looking for something to do in the area, but not worth a special trip only for this IMO. They ramp up production in October for Easter (so you'd see the giant eggs being made with the surprise in the middle). The town has a chocolate festival in October as well.
What ruined our experience (otherwise this would have been three stars), was there was a massive group (greater than 20 people, at least 12 of which were children ranging in age from toddler to about 10yo) who came in after the video, and were extremely loud. There was so much yelling, crying, children running around everywhere, it was hard to hear the guide, and if you happened to be more than three to five people behind the guide in the factory you could not hear her at all. Because of advance booking for the tour, this group should have been put by themselves. Our "original group" of about 15 people would've been great. If the factory is going to have groups greater than 15 people they should have head sets for everyone to be able to hear the guide, or simply keep the groups smaller and run more frequent tours.

Worth visiting. There is a “baci” tasting included in the tour. You will get information about their history, visit a museum about the process of chocolate manufacturing and you will also see the automated manufactury process in the factory.

Città della Domenica, located in Perugia, is a large hillside nature and leisure park that offers a variety of attractions for families. The park features wildlife enclosures, kids' rides, and shows. It was built in the 1970s and has areas dedicated to classic fable characters such as Pinocchio and Red Riding Hood. Visitors can take a train ride around the park to explore different themed areas like Sleeping Beauty and Red Riding Hood.
Very nice

Really loved this place. Only drawbacks were the distance between all the places to see, excessive hills to get there and the terrible store mannequins dressed badly to look like Disney characters.
Loved seeing the animals in natural setting, the labyrinth was great, wonderful to see Cappuccetto Rosso, Pinocchio etc but would have liked to see the other houses that were closed up for unknown reasons.

Cutely Creepy- this amusement park was built in the 70’s, back then it must have been a blast. There is train that takes visitors around the park to explore the different themes : Pinocchio, Sleeping beauty, Riding red hood etc. In addition there are a zoo and a reptiles park where visitors can get insights about the different animal species. Despite the many options the complex looks it hasn’t been updated over the last 60 years. Either you like the nostalgic vibe or not, it is up to you.

Marco Suurland — Google review
Nice walk with animals/story characters only thing is that we did not realise all rides and shows do not operate on weekdays. Perhaps the management could install vending machines since food and drink establishments deep inside the park close on weekdays. Also not sure if it was too hot that the water in the Swan and ducks had all dried up and they could not swim but only sit on the dry land. Otherwise was a good experience and children had fun.
E Tan — Google review
2 stars as an encouragement. The park is unfortunately still not up to what we would have expected. Only restauration point was open when we went (at the entrance) same for the toilets. Lot of the attractions were closed or seemed to be. Lot of donkeys and fewer of the original variety of animals. Really difficult to wander through the park with a stroller. The little train is not working but visible at the entrance. My 2 years old and a half had a lot of trouble understanding why he could not go with the train :( The park could be an amazing place with a little bit of effort from the management.
We also visited the reptiles and could also benefit from some renovation.

A must see for families visiting the surrounding of Perugia. It has a glare of a vanishing world, with old infrastructures sometimes originating from WW2 leftovers, like for example the train locomotive. Kids will have fun playing in the woods and in the theme parks, while adults can relax and enjoy cafés.
Francesco Petrogalli — Google review
Make sure you go on a weekend where all the rides and the train around the ground are running - animals are not the main attraction but the playgrounds and rides around the place. Bring lunch and drinks and picnic somewhere. If you go on a weekday on the place is open but rides are not. Great fun for family (we were there with a 5 and 7 year old)
Søren Smed Østergaard — Google review
The experience was rather disappointing. We went with our 18months old daughter to see the animals. Although on the site it said that they close at dawn ( around 20.00), at 17.00 they were already preparing to close, we were the only visitors. The park was in disarray, they didn't improve a thing since 1960 when it was built. We managed to see only the cangaroos and the donkeys and they seemed a bit unhappy. We understood this is a place ideal for the weekend when more families come to visit but I don' t recommend it. The fare is high as well - 10 euros for the adults and 7.5 for the kids
Museum in former monastery with demonstrations of handmade paper making & watermarks, plus courses.

Amazing morning at the museum. We didn't book ahead and we probably should have. School groups were touring on the same day so when the guide finished with them, he offered to take us around. His English was limited but we managed and he was so kind to take us around. He showed my 6-year-old how to make paper and let him try it out. Highly recommended activity for families. I suggest to plan better than we did and go when there is an English tour so it's even better. There's a great playground and park across the street where you can do a picnic after.

I went to the Museo della Carta e della Filigrana for a class field trip and was able to learn a lot! At the museum there is a demonstration of the paper production. It is very hands on and you can make your own sheet of paper with the help of the guide. We were able to go to different rooms and look at different machinery. We also learned about money and how different currencies can be easier or harder to forge due to the technique used to make it. Overall it was an incredible experience and I would recommend to anyone!

I went here for a class field trip! It was really cool to see because they take you through their history, you can also actually make paper if you take a tour. It is old fashioned but they show you how they keep up their modern touch. The town surrounding the factory is also very nice. It is totally worth seeing and making a stop at their factory with their excellent guides!
Wynne Snowden — Google review
I went to the Museo della Carta e della Filigrana on a class field trip about a week ago. When we first walked into the museum, you find yourself in a foyer area surrounded by works of watermarks on paper. The tour guide approached our group and she announced that she was ready to get started. Our tour guide, Francesca, was very informative throughout the whole experience and was more than willing to answer our questions to her full capabilities. The first room she took us in, she showed us the first machine that was able to turn washcloths into a flattened paper that people are able to write on. In that same room she brought a colleague and showed the group first hand how to make the paper. They were also nice enough to allow some of my classmates to experience this process with their own hands. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who is interested in this subject. I know I learned a lot about paper making that I never thought I would learn.
Evan Thompson — Google review
Museo della Carta e della Filligrana was a great museum. I visited the museum on a field trip with my university. Paper was born in Fabriano, the second most important Italian paper mill. At this museum you can watch the process of paper production and can have a hands on experience of producing their own sheet of paper! You are able to go through many different rooms containing old paper mills, old paper production, the vats and presses and machinery. To think about the ties it has to marketing and how it has evolved is very important with where marketing is today.

My visit to the Paper and Watermark Museum in Fabriano was wonderful. I attended the museum with a group, and our guide, Francesca, was very interesting and wanted us to be hands on when explaining the process of paper making. We were shown not only how handmade paper has been made in the past, but the history behind how it has evolved and how they now produce it. Great establishment, I would recommend stopping if you are in the area.

Piazza Grande is a medieval square that serves as the symbolic heart of Gubbio, offering stunning views of the town and countryside. The open cable car provides a unique perspective of the picturesque buildings. Gubbio boasts well-preserved architecture, making it a haven for art and history enthusiasts. Visitors can explore Palazzo dei Consoli, home to the Picture Gallery and Archeological Museum, as well as other landmarks like Palazzo Pretorio and the Ducal Palace.
The Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo is a Catholic church situated on top of Mount Ingino in Umbria, Italy. It contains the remains of Saint Ubaldo, the patron saint of Gubbio - a 12th century bishop named Ubaldo Baldassini. The sanctuary also houses the famous ceri statues depicting other saints.
Interestinf church, on top of the hill ovelooking Gubbio. The lady at the bookshop was highly competent in the history of the saint and told us every detail we couldn't learn from a regulat guide book. We had great fun getting there with a 12 minute journey via cable car. Spectacular view!

A beautiful panoramic location above Gubbio. Being short on time we favoured the 6 minute funivia ride to the steep climb - and marvelled at the May 15 historic race (Corsa dei Ceri) that sees teams of Gubbio residents running the steep climb with "ceri" weighing around 300kg each (photographed) from the town centre to the Basilica. The Basilica houses the remains of Saint Ubaldo, an impressive presence to be seen with your own eyes.

It’s a great (short) drive to get up here. Encourage you to if you have transport and near by the area. The church is quite small and not impressive from the inside but there are a few relics there worth noting, and there is a restaurant there which is recommended on a day that is not too windy.

Not opulent or extensively decorated. It is centuries old of course, and the mummified saint is visible above the alter. There was signage in English, which was a plus as I learned about the major ceremony occurring later in May. The big thing is to take the "cable car" instead of an exhausting walk, or driving up (very limited parking). The quotes are because the car is a two-person stand up cage!

Amazing experience. My tour guide, Michele, was very knowledgeable and painted a vivid picture of the discovery of the caves. His English is great and learning about the formations was really interesting. It was a magical experience and this has been my favorite experience in Italy, maybe even my life. These caves should be one of the natural wonders in the world. Also, the surrounding town is beautiful, you can take a nice stroll alongside the river. Try the dishes with truffles in them! Also, vincisgrassi (the regional version of lasagne) is delicious. The locals are so friendly, but some of them don’t speak English so it’s a great opportunity to practice your Italian! My heart is still in the mountains there.
P.S. if you try to get to the Valadier Temple (Tempio del Valadier) the google map location for it is not accurate for the start of the trailhead. You will have to go about double the distance from the caves than what it says (the location of the cave on the side of the mountain). It will be on the right side of the road and about 800 meters from the caves. It is walkable, but a rather long walk on the side of the road to get to the starting point. But, it is worth it!

Even though it was quite busy, the visit was well organised. What we did not like is when we bought the tickets, it was advertised that you could follow an audio tour using the app instead of the guided tour.
We liked this option as we were with young children a d their attention span for a guided tour is limited, especially in a language they don't speak.
When we got up to the entrance of the caves; they said this was not possible and we had to wait an hour (!) for the English guided tour.
The guide took a tremendous amount of time to explain each crack and sediment difference so we decided to walk on and tagged along to two Italian guided groups before we were 'caught' and told to stay with the guide.
Our round took 1,5 hours; I did not dare to ask how long the normal tour would have taken.
The cave itself is nice, well lit and the path is fenced and very accessible even for young children. There is only one route to follow so it's not possible to get lost.

The caves themselves are amazing! The company running them are running a slick operation and probably making a decent profit and in some cases have put profit before customers and this is why I've only given 3 stars... The buses that take you to the caves from the car park are mainly standing space with very few seats, they packed them full and it's a hot and windy road. The most annoying part however is that photos are forbidden, even with no flash. The only reason for this is so they can sell tickets to the photo tour where you're allowed to take photos. There's no pricing for the photo tour online however so I can only assume it's extortionate.

We went during the medieval festival. It was great. The place is charming, medieval and very interesting. Lucretia Borgia lived there. Nice picture opportunities.
The Rocca Roveresca fortress, built in the 15th century by Duke Giovanni della Rovere, is a significant symbol of Senigallia located in the Marche region of central Italy.

the Rotonda a Mare in Senigallia is a unique place. In the past used for many activities, then became a disco in the 80s for all young people and tourists, later renovated. Today it is used for specific and special events as well as for theme nights of various kinds. In the summer for fabulous evenings of music and dance from the 30s, 40s, 50s of the Jamboree festival.

The Palazzo Ducale di Urbino is a magnificent historical landmark in the city of Urbino in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The palace is a beautiful example of renaissance architecture and features an incredible collection of paintings and sculptures. The building itself is also quite stunning, and offers fascinating insights into the culture and history of the region. It is well worth visiting for tourists, who can explore its many rooms and corridors with the help of an audio guide.
One of the most well preserved palace of the region and neighbor. Getting inside really gives the vibe of being transported back in the past. By walking through the corridors and rooms you can see beautiful glimpses of Urbino from the windows and the gallery on 1 and 2 floor hold it's ground to the major ones. I have been particularly impressed by the basement and stables. Highly recommended.
Giovanni Balzi — Google review
The Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is enveloped in an atmosphere of mysticism and grandeur, as if it had emerged from the pages of a centuries-old legend. Its grandiose walls welcome guests with exquisite beauty, as if inviting them to explore the secrets of the past. Once inside, you are immersed in majestic halls adorned with exquisite works of art, each whispering its unique story. The majestic halls and incomparable gardens create a unique atmosphere, as if immersing you in a fairy tale world. A visit to the Castle of the Dukes of Urbino is not just an excursion, it is an encounter with grandeur and beauty that will leave unforgettable impressions for a lifetime.

Gigantic building filled with art, with helpful descriptions (Italian and English). After a bit you realise that it became opulence for opulence's sake, when for example doors become artworks.
However for me the most impressive part were the cellars where the kitchen, storerooms and stables were. They are *gigantic*, mind-blowing big spaces under a very large building.
A must visit I think
Peter Van Eynde — Google review
Drove from Ravenna through hills and beautiful road. Structure located over the hills with having a good overview on the area around. Paid parking is provided in the front and back, which back is bigger and more organized.
Facility presenting an art belonged to Renaissance. It is big museum with many paintings, curved stones, carpets, statues and dishes in different stories. Not only a palace, but also a protected city on the hills with narrow alleys with so many steps. At least consider 2 to 4 hours to see the palace and the city.
If you rely on English communication, Good luck!

Zongle — Google review
Urbino, a small city with around 15,000 inhabitants, has an ancient university founded in 1506 with around 14,000 students and young people are therefore the majority on its steep streets.
The ducal palace is the most important building; the museum houses paintings almost exclusively of sacred art with its typical subjects already seen countless times.
For this reason I found the other collections more interesting: majolica, ceramics,etc.
The small study and the inlaid doors are beautiful.
Don't miss the sign indicating the spiral staircase that leads to the small tower.
The construction of the palace began in 1459 as an expansion of a previous residence, that was the period of maximum splendor of the city but due to financial difficulties and the lack of heirs in 1631 it became part of the pointificial state.
The rich collections of the ducal residence were mainly transferred to other cities. From 1912 with the foundation of the National Gallery of the Marche, the museum began to enrich the works on display again.
Fabio Da Roit — Google review
Absolutely worth seeing in Urbino to admire the works of Raphael, Piero della Francesca and Giovanni Santi. Every detail is surprising, especially the carved wooden doors and the duke's study, a room that gives the idea of perspective and three-dimensionality thanks to the use of different colored woods. A truly pleasant and surprising visit.

This castle houses some exquisite masterpieces which are not to be missed, including important collections of Renaissance art by Raphael, Titian, Piero Della Francesca and more. The castle has a chapel and several rooms, including the ‘Studiolo’, that reflect Duke Federico's interest in Classical and humanistic studies. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998, built for Duke Federico III da Montefeltro.

Lune De Feuille — Google review
Definitely worth visiting. Two floors of very interesting artwork and of course the palace architecture itself. Most of the room description panels are in English and Italian.
We went during the 'siesta' period and were almost alone.
For Eur10.- it is a real steal.
The Casa Santi in Urbino is a museum housing copies of many of the famous paintings by Renaissance artist Raphael. The house itself is from the 14th century and is an outstanding example of medieval architecture. The best 4 euros 've ever spent in what is a city of great beauty. Not to be missed.
This is a private museum, so it's won't contain too many real work, most work is copy. entrance fee for 3.5 euro, well, personaly I think it's a little bit high consider the content. But in a way, I think it's worth this value since you can experience the track of young artist, and you won't miss the fresco made by Raffaello when he was 14
Jian Du — Google review
Leaves a lot to be desired. If you expect to see any works by Raphael, you will be disappointed. There are many other works displayed but not much is offered in the way of explanation and half of them are unlabelled anyway. There are several empty shelves so there is possibly more to see in the tourist season. I would recommend a visit if you are an admirer of the artist and know what to look for. The museum bookshop is well-stocked but virtually only has Italian literature. The entrance fee is 4€.

We didn't enter the house, but we noticed something strange.
During the day, there is a 'plate' to indicate that this is the birth house of the famous painter. In the evening, the 'plate' is gone. Maybe some fans see it as a collector's item?

The Arch of Augustus in Fano is a magnificent white Roman triumphal arch that serves as the town's gateway. It was commissioned by Emperor Augustus as part of his efforts to modernize a crucial highway. Originally flanked by two circular towers, only one tower remains today. The arch and the nearby Augustan walls, also ordered by Emperor Augustus, offer visitors a glimpse into ancient Roman history.
Beautiful, impressive, ancient. Do I need to say more?

Love the thougt that already 2000 years ago people passed the gate in direction of Rome.
Imposing hilltop castle & one-time prison, now a museum featuring weapons & instruments of torture.
Lovely place for a day trip - especially if you like walking, castles, history, and great views! You could spend many hours inside the castle looking at all the artifacts and watching the films they have about the castle. If you spend time walking around everything then it's well worth the €9 entry fee.

Castello di Gradara is a hilltop medieval castle featuring brickwork turrets, battlements, and a museum of history. The castle is steeped in a tragic story akin to that of Romeo and Juliet, inspiring renowned writers like Byron and Dante. The area surrounding the castle offers diverse landscapes ranging from mountainous terrain to art-filled cities such as Urbino and Ascoli Piceno, as well as the beautiful beaches of Conero Riviera.
Amazing medieval village, well kept, really worth seeing. We didn't have time to get into the castle itself but I'm sure it is as amazing inside as outside.
If you are around this area, I strongly recommend to come and spend few hours here.
Alice A. — Google review
A wall of about 800 meters in length encloses inside the castle and the village of Gradara in the lower part ; of it, in about 20 minutes you can cover the stretch that overlooks the village.
The visit to the castle with furnished rooms and to the village can last a little more than an hour.
There are various paid parking lots, the last one just under the walls.
It can also be reached by bus with departures from Pesaro - Gabicce Mare - Cattolica.
Construction began in the 12th century and continued in various stages over the following centuries.
Although there is no absolute certainty, it seems that the famous drama of "Paolo and Franesca" took place here, two lovers who were eventually killed by her husband and who are mentioned in Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy".

Lovely medieval castle in well preserved village. 9€ gives you access to the castle interior as well as walking the ramparts ( castle walls).

The Museo di Stato, which opened to the public in 1899 and is now located in Palazzo Pergami Belluzzi, houses a vast collection of artifacts spanning from Ancient Egypt to the Renaissance era.

The Museo di Stato has an interesting collection of ancient artifacts as well as religious paintings. However, it does not explain all too much about the rich Sanmarinese history. Only part of the descriptions in the permanent exhibition is available in english. The temporary exhibition was italian only.
If you're into religious art this place is for you. If you're more interested in the history of San Marino maybe not so much.

The four missing stars are for the administrator of the museum.
On the 8th of march we tried to visit the State Museum. We wanted to buy tickets but we found out that cash is forbidden (we did not understand why, because we had visited "Prima Torre" and "Seconda Torre" paying with cash). We are persons over 60 years old and we felt frustrated and discriminated. We do not like to pay with card and we like to keep beautiful entry tickets (not bank statements) from the places we visit. Nevertheless, we used the card and tried to pay. But... bad luck! The Internet was down and the payment couldn't be processed. The staff was extremely kind (they deserve five stars) and they apologized several times even though it wasn't their fault. After about ten minutes without Internet, because we didn't have enough time, we had to give up and we went to visit other places. Therefore, best regards to the administrator of the museum!

Thorough museum considering the size of the country. None of it looked very exciting though and doesn't explain the history very clearly. However there are 4 floors of relics and paintings and some exhibitions (they had on lunar expeditions when we visited in November 2017). Was virtually empty when we were there even though lots of tourists were on the streets outside. Good value if using the TuttoSanMarino card and the five multi-museum pass (7.50 euros).

The Aquarium of Cattolica is a large marine life center with over 100 tanks showcasing a variety of sea creatures including sharks, stingrays, penguins, and otters. Visitors can attend feeding times for these animals while admiring the beauty of the exhibits. While there are some cute programs available at an additional cost, such as animal figures in the gift shop, they may be overpriced and not all animals on display are real.
It is very interesting, especially for the kids. The staff is very helpful (we were late the day when we had the tickets, and they offered us to come next day (for free, cos we already payed once) so we can see all of it and don't need to hurry up.

Larger dogs are not allowed, not even with muzzles - but small ones are welcome, that's really nonsense, as larger ones are far more socialised, and everything is easily accessible.

Kind of rubbish place. I've been literally robbed: 70 euros for 2 adults and 2 children, when something like this is in the UK would not cost more than £35 with a family ticket.
The place is for most of its part inaccessible to impaired and disabled person. It's also poorly maintained (rubbish everywhere, gums, ashes) and the staff almost unwilling to work.
The entrance was so distressing and unfriendly which I was tempted to run away.
The worse of all is that being on holiday I clearly was not having a printer and the guys were kind of not keen to let me in because they were not able to use their scanner on a mobile device.
An overall visit could last no more than 2.5 hours, with the best being only the one with fishes. The new entry, built in 2016 is kind of joke, with some posters and some plastic animals.
Absolutely not worth all that money. A place like this should cost no more than 7 euro per person.

This is one of the most popular place in the area so a little planning is needed!
First of do not visit the park in peak hours which are between 12 - 15.
Come as early as possible or at 16 (plan about 2h to see everything).
Buy tickets online to skip the queue.
Do not plan to eat here as there are to many people with the same idea, instead you can get food at plenty of restaurants nearby that also have better food.
Take your time in the aquarium (blue pavilion) as that us the highlight. People move fast so if you wait a minute you can usually get a great view.
Parking can be scarce in the area so if you cant find a spot you can try to park in the streets and walk there.
Pricing is a bit on the high end but children love it so it is worth it as long as it is not to crowded. Also buyin online the tickets are cheeper by up to 20%
I would recommend visiting the aquarium on a thursday or friday.
4 stars as it was a bit pricey and some areas are a bit run down.

Cool place to visit for children but not stroller friendly because there are a looooot of stairs.
Try to get the ticket online to avoid a long queue at the ticket office.

Marinando is an association that offers boat tours underneath the Tiberius Bridge, a picturesque ancient Roman bridge with five arches. This eloquent Istrian stone architecture was designed by the Romans and features handles that redirect the flow of the Marecchia River's current to reduce its force on the bridge. The bridge has historic significance as it marks the beginning of Via Emilia, an important arterial road between Rimini and Po river valley.
Beautiful old bridge, fantastic area for just chilling in sun, surrounded by great food. Lots of nice seats overlooking water, and access to park. Spent more time here than beach!

Absolutely amazing to think that this bridge is over 2000 years old and still being used to this day to carry all sorts of transport over it, the Romans certainly new how to build things that could withstand the test of time, awesome

Beautiful old bridge with nice surrounding area, huge park where you can relax, walk, run, work out, fall in love and enjoy nature.

Lovely place. A very old stone bridge in a relaxing view of greenery. A must see if in the area.

Quaint little town with a cute little parade of cafe's and restaurants. The bridge itself is very special and feels like the town has been beautifully preserved from the past. If you're nearby, worth visiting, otherwise not worth any major detours.

Impressive bridge, built in 14-21 years a.D., during Christ's life! Try to visit it twice - in the evening and after sunset, like me :)
