Very interesting city! You need at least 5 hours to view the most interesting places. Take an ice cream or a coffee (Italian). Very impressive city just from the highway A14 (13 km). Also enjoy a break in one of the many AirBnb places to enjoy the great views. I had one 6 km from Fermo. It is if you are in a concert of crickets.

Nice City to Visit. Also you can enjoy nice gelato, Coffee and aperitivo here with friends. Archeological museum and Roman water cisterns are very near this place.

Beautiful medieval square, where you can relax an take an "aperitivo" with your friends. Very cozy atmosphere especially in late summer evenings.
Ionut Burloiu — Google review
Nice little plaza on top of the hill in the historical center of Fermo surrounded by historical buildings. There are quite many restaurants and cafes. Parking possibilities abound but can be scarce to find if you happen to visit the place during some festivities as the local police tend to close the main access streets to the plaza. The public toilets cannot be recommended (uninviting, not clean). No wonder they were empty during yesterday's local evening market despite the center being crowded.

How could anyone give a bad review? Whether you are a believer or not, this place is beautiful. My husband was especially happy to visit since he is an airline pilot and the lady of Loreto is the patron Saint and protector of aviators.

Somehow a very special place, I recommend a visit easily reached from the motorway as your heading south. It's a plane of pilgrimage for so many people and deserves to be treated as such.
Richard Meadmore — Google review
I spotted the basilica from the motorway. I had no idea of the historic significance. I have zero religious inclination, but as a world traveler I always enjoy a beautiful basilica. And it never ceases to amaze me how much significant people place on these buildings with over the top ornate decoration.

Beautiful church with some interesting stories and art. Take some time to read about the history of how Jesus home came to be in Italy and see if you find the astronauts painted there as well. No entrance fee and in feb almost no crowds. Well worth a visit.
Oh also one thing, it says no pictures allowed inside.

Since its completion in the 16th century and possibly even earlier, the "Holy House" of Loreto has been numbered among the most famous shrines of Italy. Loreto is a small town a few miles south of Ancona and near the sea. Its most conspicuous building is the basilica. This dome-crowned edifice, which with its various annexes took more than a century to build and adorn under the direction of many famous artists, serves merely as the setting of a tiny cottage standing within the basilica itself. Though the rough walls of the little building have been raised in height and are cased externally in richly sculptured marble, the interior measures only thirty-one feet by thirteen. An altar stands at one end beneath a statue, blackened with age, of the Virgin Mother and her Divine Infant. As the inscription, Hic Verbum caro factum est, reminds us, this building is honoured by Christians as the veritable cottage at Nazareth in which the Holy Family lived, and the Word became incarnate. Another inscription of the sixteenth century which decorates the eastern facade of the basilica sets forth at greater length the tradition which makes this shrine so famous.
Abbadia di Fiastra is a historic abbey located in the Italian region of Marche. This centuries-old monastery, dating back to the 12th century, offers visitors an immersive experience into history and architecture. The abbey boasts magnificent structures, including a church adorned with intricate details and beautiful frescoes. Surrounded by picturesque countryside, Abbadia di Fiastra provides a tranquil setting for leisurely walks and exploration of its expansive grounds.
Casa Leopardi, the birthplace of poet Giacomo Leopardi, is a renowned museum in Recanati. This historic attraction boasts a vast library and captivating exhibits that offer insights into the life and works of the esteemed poet. Guided tours allow visitors to explore the house where Leopardi spent his childhood, including his beloved library, which houses an impressive collection of twenty thousand books that played a crucial role in his studies.
The whole area is breath taking, I am not and will never be a fan of Leopardi (probably due to secondary school studies!), but by visiting the premises help me to understand the character, I am sure he had a tough life, despite being a wealthy guy, hence the production of his poetry. Visiting his house and the surrounding places really helps to understand him and if possible to love his work, personally I have re evaluate it completely! Also I must say that the passion of the guides when explaining and the help and support they provide is astonishing
Giulio D'Alberto — Google review
Of all the things suggested in the ticket the house itself with the library is the only one worth visiting. However you cannot take pictures there which is a bit of a shame nowadays
Vincenzo Reale — Google review
To be honest, one would not even bother to go in if it were not for the Leopardi name. That said, we truly enjoyed the tour of the library and the personal quarters on the second floor. The tour guide was helpful and well prepared and made our tour interesting and fun. I personally would not buy a separate ticket for the museum. Enjoyable visit overall
Simona Bordoni — Google review
There is not much to add: if you are in Recanati (or just visiting the Marche countryside), you can't forget to pay a visit to Giacomo's house. The biblioteca is an amazing travel back in time and the place where his poetry is born. Highly recommended.

The Cattedrale di San Ciriaco is a serene and peaceful destination during the autumn season. It boasts a 13th-century dome and an entrance adorned with granite lions that overlooks the port. The interior of the cathedral features simple yet elegant designs, while its crypt showcases impressive stonework. Visitors are encouraged to climb the stairs for breathtaking views of the surroundings instead of taking the unremarkable elevator. This beautiful church offers free tours and has an intriguing history worth exploring.
Such a beautiful church and again a beautiful view over the port and city 😍a must see when visiting Ancona
Carmen Geta Agavriloae — Google review
The cathedral itself is quite nice, but nothing very special. Maybe there are some historical arts, which I didn't know. To the museum I haven't been. It was closed when I was there. Better check online if this is on your bucket list.
I propose you walk the way up from the coast side. On the way you find a lot of great views to the harbor and the city. At the Dome also is a panoramic terass. It's worth to walk up the hill!
Andy ET — Google review
It is worth the walk up to visit this cathedral and their is a free lift that takes you some of the way, but their are lots of steps and steep slopes. You can drive up as parking outside. Their are views of the port and over the city roof tops. The entrance looks impressive with huge stone loins outside guarding it. Inside is a lots of treasures, beautiful huge art works and lots of lovely marble and pillars. The font was very modern and simple. The floors and ceilings were very colourful. Their was plenty of dark wooden panelling and stone carvings and 2 crypts to go down. The one had 1 euro donation. Their was also an information board and it was very well maintained. Outside is a museum which was closed so dont know what it was about and also a tower to which was no access.

Nice cathedral on a hill overlooking the Ancona harbour. You can see the dockyards very well as well as the bell towers and buildings in the downtown core. Inside, the cathedral is very nice and contains a large amount of history worth seeing and learning about. There is also a surprising amount of human bodies parts and a body in the museum portion under the main auditorium.

Quiet and solemn place in fall. The dome inside is simple yet nice ans the crypt has some nice stone works. The view outside is pretty nice. I recommend to walk up the stairs rather than taking the elevator which has no nice view at all.

Very beautiful and peace place. It is situated uphill and it give beautiful scenic view of the city and sea.cattedrale had a ancient connection and it is beautiful inside out. You can feel peace when you are in the church.
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!
Jac — Google review
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.
Otto Ramaker — Google review
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.

Museum in former monastery with demonstrations of handmade paper making & watermarks, plus courses.
We came across this as we wandered away from the touristy area. We had Ehma as our guide. She had us mesmerised by the history of the ancient art of paper making!!. A must when visiting Amalfi.

A must-see in Fabriano, being the first town in Europe to produce paper, it has a great history.

Nice museum with many interesting exhibits and a fascinating history behind it. We did not really feel like having a lengthy guided tour, but labelling of many exhibits was lacking. It could be greatly improved with some more printed explanations for those who wish to see the museum at their own pace.
Asher Berry — Google review
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!
Nina Blaettler — Google review
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.
Emma Udchitz — Google review
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.

Went there for the Summer Jamboree music festival so I wasn't able to explore around it, but it made a very cool background and atmosphere for the place.

The castle is nice but the inside wall was not not very clear to follow nor attractive. Maybe the audio guides (we didn't have them) would provide a better experience. We found an art exposition which we prefer not to rate...

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?

More of a personal reaction, as my family came from Fano and I imagine this arch was familiar to them all through the years. Although the families have lost touch, enjoying the arch helps me feel connected to them.

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.

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.

Dissapointingly meagre collection. A handful of famous paintings in small exposition area in the ground floor. No airconditioning, stifling hot.
Igor Petri?ek — Google review
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

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!

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.

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.

Great Palace with such an impressive cellar to see. An elevator is available. There are many rooms to see so allow time
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€.

Not much original work left, mostly copies, the house itself is nice.

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?

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".

Walled fortress of Gradara. A couple of hours or so will cover what you need to see. Beautiful Chapels, castle and little shops. Quite a steep climb to castle entrance, but worth going in and walking the walls for lovely views of the surroundings.

Worth the ride up the beautiful slopes up to the Castello di Gradara. This medieval fortress built from the 11th to 25th century, was said to be the inspiration for Dantes' Devine Comedy.

Lovely medieval castle in well preserved village. 9€ gives you access to the castle interior as well as walking the ramparts ( castle walls). Take note that the entrance to the ramparts is not adjacent to the castle entrance, rather further down the hill. Well worth a visit if holidaying in the Marche area ; easily reachable from Gabicce Mare and Riccione.

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.
As there are many tourists, there could be more english panels with descriptions.
Overall the aquarium is wonderful.
Mateja Jere Mrak — Google review
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.

A little peicey, but personnel is helpful, area big offering shade, good location near parking and beaches.

Aquarium Very good although abit disappointing that the walk through tunnel was quite shallow above, so not the full experience of the fish above you. Seemed a little expensive for entry for what was there. Cafe food not that great so take a picnic. The best bit was the looking through the eye of an insect at how they see things, that was amazing 👏

Norbert Bobak — Google review
It is lovely overall but apart from the fish area there is not much to visit in other halls.
with the same ticket you can enter multiple days in the same day, if you wanna see the otters please go early, we went around 4pm and they all went to sleep.
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.

Oltremare is a popular park that showcases the intricate relationship between humans and nature. It offers various attractions, including interactive displays, dolphin shows, and bird of prey exhibitions. The park provides visitors with a unique experience through its land and sea journey. Oltremare also features discounted entrance tickets at selected hotels. Language barriers can be an issue for non-Italian speakers during significant events, but overall it's an enjoyable place to visit for both adults and children alike.
Very nice park for families and kids. The main attraction of the park is the show with Dolphins, but there are also shows with Birds of Pray, Parrots, etc. The park is focused on nature, ecosystems, and interaction with animals. For instance, there is a path that take you to see farm animals, and along the path is possible to learn more about the animals and have interaction with them, such as riding a horse, feeding chickens, etc. The central part of the park hosts the Dolphins, and there you can also learn quite a lot about marine ecosystems, bug mammals, etc. In the park, there are a lot of stores selling foods, ice creams, and other interesting sweet things for kids. Overall is a quite a good park for families, and I suggest having lunch in one of the many internal restaurants, and spending at least one afternoon in the park.
patrik suzzi — Google review
Oltremare it's a must if you are visiting Rimini. I will recommended for adult and children too, you can spend some fantastic hours. The most important shows are the nature show of Dolphins and Bird of Prey. Other interesting place are Darwin, such a lovely wild place..than the tour that shows how plastic effect our oceans and at least if you like u can enjoy and take a canoy. The staff is very gentle and brave. Oltremare can be reached even by bus, (Aquafan Stop bus 58). Advise: organise your visit according to the time of the shows and buy your ticket online. Enjoy it :)

Generally good and interesting. But it's biggest issue: almost no translation into English (or any other languages) for the bigger events. And I'm not talking about the shows.
Nevertheless: it was a good day and our son, 7 years old, liked it anyways.

Flying birds show, and a especially do dolphins 🐬 it was fabulous. 25mins show limes which are kind of going from one to the next one. It is definitely possible to spend here whole day.

Miroslav Kralčák — Google review
First of all, I would like to talk about the positive things: The park offers a few different shows which are all nice to watch. The possibility to take photos with the animals is certainly a cute idea for the kids. However, the question arises whether it is good to sell the animals for 25€ per photo (?).
The dolphin show is of course the highlight of the park. It is also really cute and wonderful. However, at Oltre Mare, special attention is paid to pollution. There are pools filled with water and dirt that can be found in the sea, as well as animals that have been recreated from the garbage that floats in the sea. The sad and impossible part of the whole thing is the following: While down on sustainable and environmentalists is pretended, above the dolphins are kept in captivity. Now, I do not know of course whether the dolphins, since they were small, live there - then again they would probably have no chance of survival in nature and thus it is hardly animal cruelty. HOWEVER, the animals are still tortured. In the lagoon. The children step over the barriers, bang against the glass and provoke the dolphins. With sounds, noise and their hands they stress the dolphins, which according to the animal protection law falls under animal cruelty. And the parents do nothing about it, they even join in.
I am aware that there are probably too few employees to post guards in the lagoon, but it cannot be that the animals have to suffer from the inconsiderate behavior of the people.

I cant wait to go back here .. it was really nice and you see animals and shows you don't see here..it was so amazing. The only thing I will say there was a part you collect photos and the attitude of the staff there was really bad all we did was collect our photos and they were huffing and puffing like we were a nuisance no eye contact at all. So rubbish service here. But otherwise all the rest of it was so amazing..
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!

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.

Italia in Miniatura is a theme park that showcases small-scale models of famous Italian buildings, including the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and Portiuncula Chapel. Additionally, there are models of European structures and rides for visitors to enjoy. The park offers an intricate and accurate depiction of Italy's architecture and provides a unique perspective on the country's history. A visit to Italia in Miniatura is highly recommended for those who appreciate miniature things and have an interest in Italian culture.
Very beautiful park. The miniatures were very impressive and detailed. Good for both old and young - my parents and I had a great time, and stayed for 6 hours at the park. The few other attractions beside the miniature of Italy is enough for a whole day of fun.
Freja Tousgaard Andersen — Google review
We felt like a bit of a change from visiting the beach so we found this place. A little bit outside Rimini we arrived to find ample paid parking (3€ per day). We then went in quite quickly without queues, probably due to covid. We spent about 45 minutes walking around the part of the park with the miniature building from all over Italy which were well made and interesting for us as we have visited many of the places. We then wondered round to see what else the park offered, not much! We took a ride on the Pinocchio ride which took about 2 minutes and the story was told only in Italian and felt very dated. Maybe for very young Italian kids it would be OK. Then we went on the boat trip around mini Venice, quite nice but nothing amazing. We then went for the parrot experience which was 2 large beautiful parrots that sat on the metal cage screaming. Last but not least we took a 5 minute ride on the mono-rail around the park. All in all, I felt that the 22€ price tag was a bit steep and maybe for kids of between the ages of 4 and 10 it might be interesting but other than that pretty underwhelming!

I just love this place. I have been to other such theme parks, but this one will remain in my memory the most. More than 300 buildings in perfect construction. A display of history and present in one park. Very nicely decorated, suitable for children and groups. I recommend all parents to take their children to this phenomenal experience at least once.

Well worth the visit. I love miniature things so I had to come see Mini Italy. It was perfect and had a lot more than I was expecting. They also had a mini Europe section with about 5 structures and some rides. Really enjoyed it.

I am glad we went to visit as it's nice to see. It was quite difficult to keep the kids engaged the entire way around. They enjoyed the small selection of rides they have.
Worth a visit but in need of modernisation.

If you want to visit every famous building in Europe then you can visit this very special park and you can visit Eiffel Tower and Pisa Tower in one day. There is a lot of stuff to look at and you can take photos with the small versions of famous buildings. If you are thirsty or if you are hungry, you can order some drink or food in the bistro.

We had an unforgettable day at Miniature Italia in Rimini! This place is a true gem, offering a captivating journey through Italy and around the world through intricate miniature monuments.
From the Leaning Tower of Pisa to the magnificent Taj Mahal, we explored iconic landmarks in incredible detail. It was like a global adventure all in one place.
The craftsmanship is outstanding, and whether you're an adult fascinated by architecture or a kid with a sense of wonder, Miniature Italia is a must-visit. It's an educational and awe-inspiring experience for all ages.
If you're in Rimini, don't miss this opportunity to travel the world in miniature. It's an adventure worth every moment!

Nice thematic park, for adults and children. The miniatures are well preserved (they don't look 30+ years old!) and some of them have also animations. There are also a few attractions like the train going above the park, the water trunks, the Pinocchio's attraction, and a few others.
The attractions are mainly thought for children and the place makes learning a fun activity. So it is a very nice place also for schools.
It is nice even for adults without childrens, even though these are a minority.
The park is relatively small and can be seen in 2 hours with a fast speed and no queues, or it can take up to 4 if you want to do everything slowly. But in general it is smaller than other thematic parks and with less attractions. Even though, it deserves the 5 stars because it is original, educational, and it does not have excessive waiting times.

Great place. It feels like you tour the whole of italy in 1 visit,there's all needed facilities and restaurant (on weekends it might be busy) at least McDonald's right next door. Few rides also and some stalls (open on weekends) overall, it was really great.

Beautiful park, small, you can spend long time watching the mini monuments more famous from Italy. They have different rides, some of them are open as soon as the park opens and others later. The train around the park it’s very nice, we really enjoyed and the castle with water guns it’s very fresh and fun. During the weekdays is not crowded.

You can carry out various activities, children wil be delighted !
Highly recommended !

If you have kids, you must come here. Such an amazing place. I loved the miniatures, the kids loved the rides which were included in the price 24 eur per person above 140cm. The log ride was the best. Granite 4 eur, coffee 2 eur, lots of food everywhere. I was surprised we almost did not have to wait anywhere. Parking for a campervan 5eur per day, 3 eur per car right next to it. Mc Donalds 10m from the entrance. Come here, you will not regret it.

Is a camping only for campers or minivans, campsite is very quiet in the middle of beautifull nature. All is very well maintained and clean. For breakfast, bread and diner there is closeby a very good hotel. Very friendly englisch speaking staff. Got some great advice for hikes.
Eelco Stevens — Google review
(Translated by Google) Sometimes, reading other reviews, I wonder if we visited the same place. My family and I had a great time. Of course, the mini campsite has only 13 places, 4 of which are unsuitable for campers larger than 7 meters and the pitches are shaded only until late morning and starting from late afternoon, but we didn't suffer from the heat. Let's see the positive aspects... Cost of around €20 for 4 people + pitch in mid-August! Those who access the campsite can purchase a ticket costing €20 for 4 people valid for two days for access to the dam and ridracoli museum (shuttle included). Services included: loading and unloading, water on the pitch, electricity, 4 hot showers, 4 toilets, 6 sinks, 5 washbasins, 3 grill places and a pizza or bread oven, covered tables and benches, ample space for opening the awning, small play area for children. Everything available on just 13 pitches. What is missing?? I don't know... Swimming pool? Evening entertainment? Guided tour of the pyramids of Giza? :-)

A volte, leggendo altre recensioni, mi chiedo se abbiamo visitato lo stesso posto. Io e la mia famiglia ci siamo trovati benissimo. Certo, il mini campeggio è per soli 13 posti di cui 4 inadatti a camper con dimensioni superiori a 7 metri e le piazzole sono ombreggiate solo fino a tarda mattinata e a partire dal tardo pomeriggio, ma non abbiamo sofferto il caldo. Vediamo gli aspetti positivi... Costo di circa 20€ per 4 persone + piazzola a ferragosto! Chi accede al campeggio può acquistare un biglietto del costo di 20€ per 4 persone valido due giorni per accesso alla diga e museo di ridracoli (navetta inclusa). Servizi compresi: carico e scarico, acqua in piazzola, energia elettrica, 4 docce calde, 4 servizi igienici, 6 lavandini, 5 lavabo, 3 posti griglia ed un forno per pizza o pane, tavoli e panche coperti, ampio spazio per apertura tendalino, piccola area gioco per bambini. Tutto a disposizione di i sole 13 piazzole. Cosa manca?? Non saprei... Piscina? Animazione serale? Visita guidata alle piramidi di Giza? :-)

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately we thought that this camper area was also used as a campsite and instead not: having had the tent we did not sleep on the grass but on a hard and uncomfortable plastic net and we were not able to use electricity because it was mandatory to have an adapter for camper (the reception could not lend it). The cleanliness has really left us speechless because, just in the week of August, the cleaning of bathrooms and showers have never been done for more than 3 days and the garbage has never been emptied, even though the structure was almost full.
There are no bar or restaurant services within km and km and the camper area wi fi is only available in the reception, 200m away from the camper area. I would say NEVER AGAIN.
(Original)
Purtroppo abbiamo pensato che questa area camper fosse anche adibita a campeggio e invece no: avendo avuto la tenda non abbiamo dormiro sull'erba ma su una rete di plastica dura e scomoda e non abbiamo potuto usufruire di corrente elettrica poichè era obbligatorio avere un adattatore da camper (la receptionnon poteva prestarne). La pulizia ci ha lasciato davvero senza parole in quanto, proprio nella settimana di ferragosto, le pulizie di bagni e docce non sono mai state fatte per più di 3 giorni e le spazzatura non sono mai state svuotate, nonostante la struttura fosse quasi al completo.
Non vi sono servizi di bar o ristorazione nel giro di km e km e il wi fi dell'area camper è disponibile solo nella reception, a 200m di distanza dall area camper. Direi proprio MAI PIÙ.

The Basilica of Saint Apollinare New is a stunning and historic church in Ravenna, Italy. The mosaics displayed date back to the early 6th century, making them slightly older than those in San Vitale. It is insanely peaceful inside with no pews so you can easily wander through the art.

Worth of seeing. Beautiful masterpiece on walls. Mosaics from 5th century showing the procession of people, man and virgins, toward the Christ and Saint Mary. I've spent there one hour just look at the details of each mosaic. Outside there is a garden surrounded by arcades (toilet at the end of corridor). Very nice place to take a rest before continuing the visiting of Ravenna.
The Mausoleo di Galla Placidia, or Tomb of Galla Placidia, is a small but equally incandescent Latin cross mausoleum built for Galla Placidia, the half-sister of Emperor Honorius, who initiated construction of the Basilica di San Vitale in Ravenna. The complex also includes the Basilica di San Vitale.
It is a fantastic place, full of magic, of authentic spiritual experience. You experience a sense of amazement that something so beautiful, but fragile at the same time, was able to last for such a long time, that it was not destroyed. This gives you hope that the beauty of divine essence has an extraordinary power over man and time.
Daniel W. — Google review
Mausoleum build in the 5th century for Galla Placida, the imperial daughter of the roman emperor Theodosius I, also called Theodosius The Great (347 AD – 395 AD), an emperor bn in Hispania and devout orthodox christian, that was known by his success in several campaigns against the Goths, tw civil wars and in establishing an orthodox doctrine (The Creed of Nicaea) in opposition to the Aria (The Creed of Nicaea) being the last emperor to rule the entire Roman Empire before its administration was permanently split between the West and East.
His daughter became sister, wife and mother of emperors, and Galla Placidia reigned the Western Roman Empire. Built c.430 AD, and like the exterior of most of Ravennas majestic places it is rustic and sober, made with orange bricks, but the interior has a magnificent decoration.
You can see countless stars of the cupola - although similar to the great pagan mausoleums with a central plan, single entrance door, vertex of the roof and external sobriety, the inside of this mausoleum is entirely covered with Christian symbols of immortality and eternal life.
For Galla Placidia the glory of the Christian Roman Empire was expressed by the cross, and the mausoleum has the form of a Latin cross, which is the main symbol of the mosaic at the center of the vault.
It is the celestial cross shining among the stars of the sky – the sky of eternal salvation; the sky of the Kingdom of God. The heavenly vault of the great entrance, with its symbols of light, demonstrates well enough the fundamental theme of the concept that the bishop of Ravenna, Petrus Chrysologus, and Galla Placidia held concerning the way towards the prize of eternity for the Christian.
Like most of the places of Ravenna, especially the smaller ones, it is usually crowded with tourists, and if you want photos without them you have to be patient and wait for the exact moment to take them - tripods are forbidden so plan before taking a shot.

If you find yourself in Ravenna and enjoy old church history, this is a great spot... if not, this is rather lackluster and not a whole of interesting things to see. The mosaics are the jewel obviously, but not so sure it is worth the trek unless it is a particular interest of yours.

The entire Ravenna mosaics tour is incredible, but this was one of the highlights (along with the nearby church).

Mausoleo di Galla Placidia is small but just packed with beautiful mosaics that cover all of the walls in the mausoleum. The windows are incredible too since they are thin slices of agate. During busy times, in order to limit the density of visitors in the building, you wait outside which is why the timed entrances are needed to be reserved. You then enter the building through a black curtain that ensures that you see the mosaics as they were meant to be seen. Well worth a visit and it is bundled with the other in town Ravenna sites.

The basilica known as Basilica di San Vitale is a monumental octagonal dome-headed church in Ravenna, Italy. It is one of the most important early Christian artworks in Italy, and the mosaics displayed inside are some of the most elaborate and colorful ever created.
The Basilica of San Vitale is a late antique church in Ravenna, Italy. The 6th century church is an important surviving example of early Christian Byzantine art and architecture. It is one of eight structures in Ravenna inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Its foundational inscription describes the church as a basilica, though its centrally-planned design is not typical of the basilica form.[1] The Roman Catholic Church has designated the building a "basilica", an honorific title bestowed on exceptional church buildings of historic and ecclesial importance.
Sangeeth S N — Google review
Perhaps the most astounding church in the whole of Italy, pivotal both in art and religion, with links to ancient Rome, early Christianity, Ostrogothic period, Byzantine rule, Charlemagne Palatine Chapel and (sadly) later Baroque additions, which are completely out of place in otherwise perfect architectonic and artistic gem. Worth visiting Ravenna if only that would be interesting to see. And way less crowded than other (undeservedly?) more famous places in Italy.

The Basilica San Vitale, built in the 6th century AD in Ravenna, is a magnificent example of early Byzantine architecture.

Local people are nice and helpful. Parking is a big problem since it is LTZ area and even you can’t drive through the area around Basilica. Even could not Find any parking out of LTZ and was too far, finally left the car inside the zone in a local parking and asked them to send my plate number to City to not to get a ticket.
The online ticket is available, and will cover 5 locations which 2 of them close together, and for the rest asked to guide me to others.

I confess I know next to nothing about Byzantine arts and history. Nonetheless, I find the topic oddly intriguing, at the same time very near and very far from me, my surroundings, my upbringing. I surely recommend a visit in Ravenna if you are, like me, very keen to explore your own roots. On a more practical side: plan in advance, buy your tickets online (quite convenient) and everything will go smoothly.

Make this Basilica the *final* site you visit in Ravenna - it will blow your socks off and seeing it in between the other sites would take away from the other beautiful buildings which all deserve visiting in their own right but are smaller and/or less opulent.
The unique layout, the scale, the floor mosaics, the light shining off the walls and ceilings - it's magical and transports you back in time.

Ravenna is a very small but charming town with fantastic basilicas. I was speechless when I entered each of them. The most famous is, of course, the Basilica of San Vitale, but the others are also worth visiting (e.g. Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and Baptistery Neon). The mosaics found inside the basilica create spectacular paintings. The Basilica of San Vitale is a spectacular great of art.

In the heart of Brisighella's historic center lies Via degli Asini, also known as Donkeys Road or Via del Borgo. This ancient covered street was originally constructed as a defensive structure in the 14th century, featuring half arches and serving military purposes. Later on, it became a route for transporting gypsum from nearby caves using donkeys.
Beautiful. A must see. This ancient covered walkway takes you back 500 years. Well worth the visit

Very cool. Old covered donkey road in the buildings that can lead you up to the clock tower. Highly recommended.
