Located in south Corsica, Plage de Roccapina is a stunning beach that attracts fortunate visitors with its perfect white sand and picturesque surroundings. The beach is like a stage at the base of the surrounding mountains, where dense vegetation cascades down the green hillsides. Golden glints of sunlight dance on the rocks during the day, creating a breathtaking view. One of the highlights is a lion-shaped rock formation that serves as an impressive backdrop to this remarkable beach.
Be careful, you need to take a gravel road to go next to this beautiful beach. Alternatively one can park the car in the main street and walk to the beach for about 30 minutes. The water is crystal clear. A true beautiful beach. There's nothing around, don't forget to bring your own drinks and food.

This beach is perfect. Fine white sand, cristalline water and amazing rocks that surrounds it. Bumpy-dirty road to get here, but I managed with a regular car. Just drive carefully. If you have a low car, maybe you should avoid it.

2.3 Km drive on a bumpy dirt road reward you with a beautiful beach, a cross between Seychelles and Maldives. White sands and rocky boulders, lush green mountains and turquoise waters. The car park can get full very quickly.

The beach is indeed amazing, it was crowded when we arrived and wow, if you’re in a car with a chassis low to the ground and more than 2 travelers GOOD LUCK driving down from the main road T40.
We were 2 in a standard vehicle but we followed a long line of cars with passengers that had to get out of the car at every “bump”.
I’m amazed that roads like this even exist without a warning sign but they in fact do so know before you go, the voyage down and back up IS A SAFARI, you’re best off in an SUV or a 4x4.
The people who choose to walk down from the main parking lot have a 30-45 minute hike dodging cars that are making their way up and down. It’s definitely not the most ideal way to end a day at the beach.
That being said, amazing views, nicer voyage for those traveling by yacht or catamaran I imagine 😉

This is a really beautiful beach. It’s not the biggest and you can only reach it down a terrible potholed track but it’s perfect if you like undeveloped beaches. Soft white sand and a crystal clear turquoise sea with small waves. There are several places to park. Some better than others. It’s very busy during the July and August period but it’s more peaceful in the off peak months. And of course there is the Roccapina lion rock overlooking the bay.

Wonderful beach with very crystalline water.
Only pity was the huge number of boats anchored quite near the beach
The popular Plage de Santa Giulia in Porto-Vecchio, a bay on the south coast of Corsica, is surrounded by clear, shallow water and beachside restaurants. The pier offers fishing opportunities.
One of the best beaches in Corsica! There are good bars and restaurants, water is crystal clear. One can walk around and explore nice and more quiet places around.
F. Zefi — Google review
We expected more since we visited palombaggia. Santa Giulia is long but narrow beach so we hardly found our spot. We were located in front of some mobile homes and it was really bad smell I guess from the toilettes. The water was clear and shallow, so is perfect for small kids. But a lot of grass in the water and on the beach. Parking lot is 5min away walking and it costs us 5€ per whole day.
Sanja Rozman — Google review
Very beautiful beach in the southeast of Corsica. Partly white sand and turquoise water. The beach is very long and unfortunately also very busy. Nevertheless beautiful. If you are looking for a quieter place to sunbathe, you should walk down the beach to the end, even further than the last hotel-restaurant. In front of the the Hotel there is also a small free parking lot, next to a small lake, but there you have to be a bit lucky, because the other parking lots cost 15 € per day. If you want to go out for a meal, you should know that the beach is mainly home to high-priced eateries. Exception is a kind of fast food restaurant, but that is unfortunately at the other end of the beach.

Long Nice beach500m from patking. Keep left to the Parking 5€ / restaurant charge for 10€ (discount 10€ if you go to the restaurant) I recommend to parking on the main road or opposite of the main road which is 500m walk to the beach as well

Great beach. Parking cost 10 Euro, but they give it back if you order anything in a bar or bistro. Clean sand, music, a lot of young people. Cool.
100% Recommended.

An amazing beach with clear water for the kids to play all day. There are two bars where you can easily get all the necessary food and drinks, so if you are a person who can stay in one place for the whole day, this beach offers everything. For the first 50 meters the water is very shallow, again amazing for little kids. They can walk in and out (under your watchful eye of course) all day. The water was also not cold. I recommend at least a couple of hours to visit, but it could get crowded.
Jon Premik — Google review
A beautiful beach to visit. A free parking lot located at the beach. A couple of restaurants situatuated along the beach for an ice cream, a beverage or something to eat. Lots of shade and lovely white sandy beach.
Charlene Elliott — Google review
Water is shallow and clear, sand is white. Bay is beautiful and the ship can’t come close. So why just 3 out of 5?
The grade is lowered by the August crowd, but hey, this is the time i am here. It is super busy.
There’s also quite a bit of seaweeds that reduce the amount of available beach. They also smell quite a lot. If you’re going in the paid part of it, just disregard this, they keep it pretty clean and they look gorgeous.
Another minus is the parking, the closest to the beach costs 20€!!! TWENTY!!!
There are cheaper options with nice pals (search for the 5€ one on google map, there’s a 5’ walk on a nice path).
Overall, there are FAR better options. Balistra, petit Sperone, Stagnolu and even Rondinara.

Very nice beach. We went there a bit late, but we will definitely come back for a swim, the surrounding is magnificent!
michel mougey — Google review
The beach definitely has a potential. However, it is a victim of its own popularity. In the high season it is very busy. Additionally, the beach is not cleaned of decaying sea weeds making it a very unpleasantness place to lay your towel on. The prices in the surrounding bars and restaurants resemble those found in Switzerland rather than in France. Perhaps the biggest nuisance is the noise pollution. The beach is used to rent all kind of watercraft that emit constant noise and exhaust fumes, polluting this otherwise beautiful place even more. You will do better going somewhere else, unless you enjoy crowds, high prices, dead seewed and noise.

One of the best beaches of South of Corsica. Absolutely loved the beach and the water. Highly recommended to visit when around Porto Vencchio

This is what a beach should look like. Beautiful sea, mountains in the background, warm sun. Usually not too crowded, plenty of room to swim, take a walk by the shore, or play with your kids. Definitely will return here!
Tamás Kondor — Google review
Ridiculously packed and honestly expected a lot more. I think the beach is victim to its popularity as the beach was quite dirty with cigarette butts and random trash , and this was early in the morning. Also on the left hand side it’s just a port with all the boats so doesn’t feel great to be swimming so close to that. Views are very nice and water quite warm.
Getting in and out is a complete nightmare as the roads are extremely narrow and two cards barely fits. Arrive as early as possible and leave between 2-330pm
Nick Verschelde — Google review
One of the most beautiful beaches close to Porto-Vecchio. It's definitely a must-see when you're in the area.
After 11 am can get quite crowded, but that's something normal.
Unfortunately, some people act like they are at their house throwing away rubbish like bottle caps. You have to be careful while walking on the sand.

Palombaggia is a picturesque beach located near Porto-Vecchio, boasting stunning views of its white sandy shore and turquoise waters.

Nearby, visitors can explore the charming town of Porto-Vecchio with its historic citadel and quaint streets.

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

Nice blue shallow water. Great for little kids. Lots of pine needles and other natural debris on the beach. On Sundays extremely crowded. Some jellyfish in the water.

This is, to me, the best beach in Corsica. The dand is white and thin, the water very clean and light blue. You can park very close to the beach if you get there early (before 10am) otherwise there are parking on the street and with a 10-15min walk (very easy) you get there anyway.
Around 11 till 5pm is a bit crowded but still there's plenty of space.

A Cupulatta
Zoo
Nature & Parks
A Cupulatta is a unique 2-hectare park in Corsica that houses a diverse collection of tortoises and turtles from around the world. It's an ideal destination for families, offering an educational experience as well as enjoyable moments for adults. Visitors can explore the park at their own pace, observing tortoises of various sizes and types while learning about their habitats and behaviors. The park also emphasizes conservation efforts, providing a glimpse into turtle clinics and rescue operations.
A simple lovely tortoise and turtle zoo. Who knew there were so many, ranging in size from a couple of inches up to the giant Galapagos tortoise. They look well cared for, and the zoo seems heavily into conservation. There is a small snack area at the end. A couple of hours well spent.

We really enjoyed visiting this park with our baby. It's of course a perfect place for families but also adults can have very happy moments here.
The park is full of tortoise of many tipes and sizes (our baby loved the baby tortoise!). Every type is explained and contextualised, and all of the tortoises are at the open here.
We stayed also for launch. There is a little bar/restaurant with outdoor seats and hee you can eat also your food as a pic nic (not necessary to buy at the restaurant).
The price for a single day access is not high and in my opinion value for money. 😉

At 11am, we’ve ordered 2 cappuccinos at an almost empty restaurant. We were served two cups of warm milk with barely dissolved instant coffee or similar substance floating on top although they have an espresso machine. Upon politely asking whether our order was misunderstood, we were informed in no uncertain terms that “chez nous le cappuccino est comme ça”. Best avoided.

This was such a nice place - our first question was “do you accept credit card” as some very nearby places don’t or pretend they don’t accept CC but here the waiter/ owner was very clear: yes we do - the food itself was very tasty, the service was very friendly (almost ‘not-French’ if you get my point), and the location/ view is excellent - thank you “Aiguilles” team!

This place is excellent in a lot of regards.
They offer top quality meals, when "it was too late" for the other two restaurants nearby, the staff are excellent, very nice, the meals were all of a quite large portion and very tasty.
You can even get accommodation (with breakfast, lunch, dinner included) below in the basement on bunkbeds, they have showers, a small kitchen.
Overall, it was an excellent choice to rest here for the evening before continuing our journey on the GR20.

The Corsica Museum, located in the former barracks of the citadel, offers a spacious and well-organized exhibition on multiple floors. The museum provides a comprehensive history of Corsica, showcasing traditional habits, culture, and craftsmanship. Visitors can explore exhibits dedicated to Corsican anthropology and pottery while enjoying explanatory videos throughout the exhibition. The museum also features a lab for kids and an outdoor terrace displaying the "Corsican Head" sculpture.

Spacious, well laid out museum on several floors.
The exhibits provide a comprehensive history of Corsica. You need to leave plenty of time for a visit if you want to read all of the detailed information for each exhibit. As with most museums there is probably more on display than can be absorbed on one visit. Don't miss the "Corsican Head" sculpture on the outside terrace on the first floor.

Worth going in for the views from the citadel alone. The directional signage is available in English, but the exhibition signs are French and Italian only. Interesting enough though.

Otherwise a nice museum, and the Citadel has a great view over the town, but if you don't speak French or Corse, the museum is simply not worth visiting because there are no displays written in English.

Very well-done the lab for kids: we were two adults without kids and enjoyed it so much anyway. Explanatory videos along the exhibition are nice as well. The permanent exhibition includes objects that show traditional Corsican habits, culture and savoir-fare, but probably should undergo a renovation. Small gift-shop, no bar or coffee inside.

Parc of Saleccia is a charming park in the Balagne area, offering a delightful experience for visitors. The park features a meandering pathway with informative boards and shady spots for relaxation. At the highest point, there's an amphitheater made of local rocks providing stunning views of the deep blue sea and white-capped waves. The park is well-maintained with lovely seating areas and a playground for children.
Such a lovely, peaceful place with an abundance of different plants. The animals are a really nice added extra. 11€ per adult.

Such a beautiful place. We loved everything about it, the people were very friendly, spoke English. The restaurant is only serving till 2pm, do be advised. They have cool drink and ice cream to cool down. The park isn’t too big, so it’s perfect for smaller children and in hot weather. There’s a huge playground, loads of space for kids to run around. Pretty seating areas in shaded spots. It’s very well maintained. I loved the gift store, it’s very cute. For the biggest impact, visit in spring or early summer.

Set in the hills near to the Île Rousse in the north of Corsica, this parkland is well worth a visit.
The gardens are well maintained snd there are information panels too. As we visited in October there were not too many flowers to see, but the general planting and borders would look lovely in Spring and summer.
If you have time, have lunch at the café - the food is all from local producers and very tasty. We had an amazing croque Monsieur and a mixed dishes of local Corsican meats and cheese - lovely!
The cats are very friendly too!
Annette Khan — Google review
Beautiful. A bit repetitive in the plant life but we'll sculpted and designed. The wire sculptures are a delight. An excellent playground for the children. Overall very nice but they need to add a lot more plant diversity and more water areas to attract insect, bird, and animal life.
Walter Penny — Google review
Beautiful place, worth the detour and impeccably maintained. A story of how people want and can block the destruction of nature and make an amazing park which has all kinds of "macchia mediterranea" from all over the Mediterranean sea. Very informative (and long) walk in the park, nice little souvenir store and very nice staff. An experience for all ages to enjoy.
Stefan Curcic — Google review
This park is a place to visit if you are in the Balagne area, especially in a day in with the weather is not too hot.
I loved this place because of the variety and the quantity of threes and plants, well notified by their names. You can visit the parc through many paths, shorter or longer. The normal one, with many stops and a relaxed walk, will take you 2 hours. Our 2 yo baby was able to do that by walking all the time.
In addition, within the park you will find many statues made of iron representing animals and fairies.
Within the park it's present also a very nice restaurant, with affordable prizes, that by rule use only local product for its dishes. We tried it and we really enjoyed the meal, with specific dishes for kids.

Really colourful with different perfumes drifting across. Very relaxing atmosphere. Great al fresco tasty lunches too.
Linda Syder — Google review
Lovely to find this parc. We visited in September, knowing the long hot summer would offer us only the hardiest flowers and greenery. A meandering pathway with many information boards and opportunities for shady repose is sympathetic to any explorer with a mind to learn. At the pinnacle of the parc you can find a kind of amphi theatre made from local rocks where you can admire from afar the deepest blue sea confettied with white waters whipped by the Corsican winds. If your tour leaves you hungry there is al fresco eating which provides colourful plates of loacal veg' and Corsican cheeses. Don't miss out on the Cafe gourmand dessert. A September visit left me inspired to return in all seasons.
Plage de Saleccia, located on the northern coast of Corsica, is often hailed as one of the most picturesque beaches in Europe. With its white sand, turquoise waters, and lush vegetation, it's no wonder this idyllic spot was chosen as a filming location for The Longest Day in 1962. Accessible by boat taxi from St. Florent or a scenic drive from Casta, this half-mile stretch of undeveloped coastline offers a serene escape.
One of the best beaches I have been to. Wide beach fine sand turquoise water. Catch a boat taxi from the St. Florent pier. There are several companies on the pier that are not on Google Maps, not just Le Popeye. We made a reservation a day ahead with Spassighj’Agriate and they were great.

This beach is amazing, comparable with the best beaches in the Mediterranean. The only problem is how close the boats can arrive, it really feels like swimming in an arbour.

Nice beach, but nothing ‘special’, loads of nice beaches in Corsica that do not require an hour off-road driving (10 kms) to get too! A nice sandy long beach, but the snorkeling was disappointing. Maybe a visit by boat would be the best option.
Nigel McKinley — Google review
Just an amazing beach!
The sand is superb, the water is azure, and the wind is calm.
However, you can't really get there easily: the "road" is 6 euro and if you don't have a tall 4x4 it's better not to go there.
On the beach there's no toilet or change room, so be ready to share some of your secrets. It's not a lot of people, though.

Gorgeous beach! Definitely has an "Instagram vs Reality" feel due to the number of tourists and taxi boats. Maybe best to visit in the morning. We saw a few jellyfish during the late afternoon. Bring a parasol!
Melissa Warren-Garcia — Google review
Fantastic beach. I like the way to get there. There is no road. But with a motorcycle or a 4x4 car you can get there. The beach is very clean. The sand is fine but not more fine than on the other side like at Bastia. You can be shure that everyone on this beach has made a special effort to come here. There are sometime cows on thr beach. The cows like to play with some visitors. This plage is one of the most difficult to get there.
Reviewer cheffe — Google review
This beach is extraordinary special and located very nice. The scenery is just great. Clear water and white sand makes you feel like in the Caribbean. During the main season it's often crowded, but still worth a visit. You can go by 4 wheel drive from Casta or by boat from St. Florent. Or by your own car, and without 4 wheel drive it will take some hours to do down the earth road. Close to the beach there's the famous camping site and on the other end of the beach a very nice beach restaurant hidden in the pines. Definitely with a visit.

I give you as good description I can. Because I searched in advance before visiting Saleccia and didn’t get the whole picture. First. This is a beach worth traveling to. One of the top 10 in Europe if you search for unique places. This is natural. Beside Chia in Sardinia this is magic. For me. St. Florent is the nearest city. You will find at least 3 providers of transport by boat there. It cost you 30 euro in a rib. Easy 10 min. You can choose in and out times in advance if you are early or there the day before. From 09. Saleccia gives you about a kilometer of the finest sand with no gras or other. At the south end we found Rosa or pink if you want, sand. You walk easy out in the water. Slowly it gets deeper. So nice. We saw 4 private boats when we where there on a Wednesday in September. We walked 50 minutes to Lotu beach along the coast and returned from there. Wearing just sandals. Nice walk. Lotu is smaller and ok but we found Saleccia more perfect for us. You can also reach it by car. If you have a decent 4x4 just do it. They say 45 minutes. From the road up on St Florent mountain. You find it. There are many providers of transport in that area. 30 min from the city. So you need to add that for the 45 min if you stay in St. F. I don’t know the price for 4x4 transport.
We like corsica ferries more than m...y ships. But it depends. They have good ships and not so good ships. We had a lot of cabins. Some cabins are quiet and some are very noisy.

My suggestions for improvement: The staff on the Livorno ferry could definitely be friendlier. A more polite manner and greater willingness to assist would significantly enhance the travel experience. The ferry seems to be in an outdated condition and requires renovation. New carpets, chairs, and overall modern furnishings would uplift the onboard ambiance. If dogs are allowed on board, appropriate facilities should be provided for them. Artificial grass and clean disposal options for dog waste would be a welcome improvement. The conditions of the onboard sanitary facilities are unacceptable. Cleanliness and hygiene should be top priorities and urgently improved. Surveys should inquire about the status of the pool if it is actually in operation. The information should be current and relevant. The website is also in need of improvement to better inform customers about the services and the condition of the ferry. The Wi-Fi code didn't work, which was a frustrating experience. Likewise, the booked Express Boarding did not function as expected.
My opinion on the crossing: Overall, my experience on this ferry was disappointing. The staff's rudeness, the poor condition of the facilities, non-functional Wi-Fi, and the disappointing Express Boarding all marred the experience. The cabins were acceptable, and I appreciate the honesty of the staff when my wallet was found in one of the cabins. Boarding in Bastia went smoothly, and the staff there were more polite. Nevertheless, there is an urgent need for improvements on this ferry to justify the high prices. The information on the website should be updated to better inform future passengers and avoid disappointments.

Set off late by about 20 minutes and arrived at Bastia port on Corsica at about 1 am instead of 11 pm, but the voyage was smooth and the sunset was awesome.

They get you from A to B, with a big boat that you can put your car on. Expect no more and I wish you the best.
We had a 1-hour departure delay that turned into 2 (we were notified the morning of departure, that was ok), then ended up being 5 as we waited on the parking lot. And that was just the delay of departure. Upon arrival, there was another hour+ of delay for whatever reason. When the doors finally opened to get to the cars, the required vouchers for reimbursement magically went missing until there were just a handful of people left waiting. Great enthusiastic announcement over the PA system (also the first one on all this)! As we by then had a sleeping toddler and were in no rush (we stopped caring), we were among the last so we actually have the voucher. Don't expect any response when you try to get reimbursed, though. Their info on the website is total B#, there's no followup whatsoever (which is against the law, but hey..), they just don't respond and believe me, we've tried, in many different ways. A bad product is one thing, but a bad customer service is another.
No second chance from us, nor any of our friends. the worst travel experience of my life, by a lot.

Last summer I travelled from Toulon to Corsica to visit the village of my ancestors and promote my titanium bicycle. I recommend renting a cabin to be comfortable. It was a safe trip and food at the restaurants was very good. Staff was friendly and professional. Departure and arrival were very organized.

When we boarded, we had to wait a long time until we got on the ship at the last minute. The staff seemed completely haphazard. The whole deck smelt of diesel and there were many damaged chairs. Everything vibrated and made a lot of noise, the stay was terrible and the ship looked very run down. The dog toilet was a disgrace. When we left the ship we were only allowed to our vehicles very late for some unknown reason, the gates were already open and when we entered the lower deck cars were already driving towards us. There was no question of safety. Then our vehicle was unfriendly escorted out by incompetent staff without really keeping an eye on the vehicles already travelling. The only positive aspect we can mention is that we were able to cross the sea at all.
Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that the staff attach advertising stickers to the vehicles without being asked, which are sometimes difficult to remove without leaving adhesive residue.

2 types of boats. It gets the job done but 1 boat is pretty old and dirty, other one is bit more modern and cleaner. Ship is run by Italian people, and they run it like it's their own monarchy, with the passenger as lowest "rank". The boat had some delay and we had to get out of the cabins so they can start "cleaning" it. But the garage-deck wasn't open yet, so the hallway got more and more stacked and hotter and hotter and the crew was kinda shouting with the typical "italian" handsignals, not the best experience.
Fetovaia is a charming beach known for its picturesque pine grove providing shade on sunny days. The nearby Cavoli beach offers easy access to its eastern side, perfect for enjoying stunning sea views. Both beaches are popular spots for relaxation and leisure activities along the beautiful coastline.

I'll never travel to Florence without this trip planner again
CavallinoMatto is a forest amusement park that offers exciting rides and family-friendly attractions, as well as live shows, a pizzeria, and a bar. Children's access to the various rides is determined by their height - from 90 cm up to 130 cm. The park is well-maintained and safe, with plenty of shows for visitors to attend throughout the day. The entry fee is very reasonable.
This amusement park is an oasis of fun and excitement. Outstanding roller coasters, with the standout being "Freestyle". On a week day in July, there was remarkably low crowd levels, and almost no waiting. It's an especially great destination for big kids and can ride every attraction. Pre-ordered tickets are a bit cheaper.

Very good theme park for the little ones, it’s perfect for kids , but there are also few adults attractions . We also saw 2 shows, the magic one and the dinosaurs , and they were both great and entertaining. My kid and nephew, 5 and 6 years old loved it .

Really nice, not too big amusement park. Of course they don't have the big budget to theme everything, but they have a lot of attractions for ages 3 and up and it is very clean. The parking is for free, which is great and except for the really good themed Dinosaur water ride there were very little waiting times. We had a great day and highly recommend this for families.

We enjoyed the park with our small (3 and 4 years old) kids a lot. The park is pretty well maintained. The dino show was great. We liked all the shows actually. Bought the tickets online with no hassle. Some rides were closed. It would be good if the web informed about it. The webpage could be better.

Lovely theme park in Italy. So many different rides from age 5 to big kid like me (I'm 42 btw). Has a variety of different places to eat and grab an ice cream and an excellent picnic area, which is useful. Wasn't too crowded, which was a surprise being August but not an unwelcome one as it meant we didn't have to wait long to get on any of the rides. Would love to go again next time I am in Italy
Peter Brown — Google review
You pay a small one time entry (26€ if you pay in advance) and then can access all attractions as often as you want without paying extra and without waiting in lines.
Almost NO WAITING AT ALL, only at the jurassic river we had to wait around 30min.
All the attractions are really fun for both kids and adults. Throughout the day you have some shows you can attend to and also a 4D cinema playing a short movie.
You can easily spend the whole day here!
Big RECOMMEND!

THE WORST PIZZA SLICE OF MY LIFE
Sunday April 7. It is a nice park, small but well-kept if it weren't for the restaurant part, and the squat toilets are still in 2024. For 89 euros, a family of 3 deserves more than a frozen, industrial, slice of pizza ( 1 menu soft drink + pizza euro 7,50, for 3 people another 24 eur0) Certainly the worst of my life. Not even abroad have I eaten pizzas of such a low standard. And given that the centre has been open for decades, perhaps I wonder how much customer care there is if the toilets are still squat toilets with obvious inconveniences, especially if you have children. But we are in Italy, a seaside place, so shut up and pay.
Alberto Galli — Google review
We've spent the whole day in the park. Access to the attractions for the kids is determined via body height. Some are from 90 cm, 100, 110 and 130 cm. Lots of fun, for adults as well. The park seems to be well maintained and save. Many shows to attend. Entry fee is very reasonable.

Via Po, 1, 57022 Marina di Castagneto Carducci LI, Italy
Bolgheri is a charming village located in the province of Livorno, Tuscany. It's known for its relatively new but thriving wine scene, with vineyards benefiting from the coastal proximity and dry climate. Since the 1970s, local wine producers have been experimenting with non-traditional grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah.
The Shrine of Lady Grace is a religious complex maintained by monks and featuring a revered Madonna image. The grounds are peaceful and have beautiful views of the Livorno Hills. The museum features the history of miracles that have occurred here.
Most impressive location with great view and many tokens of Catholic devotion. The church is located on top of a hill with a great view and inside you find a huge collection (over 12.000!) of tokens.
Even if the religious part is not your thing, it's still worth a visit for the great view and the short trip by cableway.

Very moved by as well as interested in the folk art of the ex voto in the sanctuary - and the pharmacy selling bio products (tisanes, sweets, shampoo etc) is very good. Definitely worth a visit - especially if you combine it with a gastronomic pilgrimage to the fabulous Osteria fonte del penitente nearby (not the ones in the square in front of the sanctuary which are really grim)

My military family lived in Livorno for several years and we frequently frequented this beautiful Sanctuary of the ‘Madonna di Montenero’ while we were all very young . As Catholics, My brother and I made our 1STHoly Communion there. It is a miraculous Sanctuary of Our Lady of Graces. So unbelievable, so unforgettable, so NEEDED in these times of turmoil. It is up on a mountain overlooking the beautiful Naval Port of the ancient City of Livorno. 👍😄🏆🌹🍃

This is one of the stops when doing the open top bus tour. The price includes a ticket for the furnicular - time it right to get the next bus back, although when we were there he did wait for any latecomers.
Well worth a stop for the views and wander round. Maybe just enough time for a coffee!

We arrived there after checking the opening times on the official website and after driving 1h from where our accomodation was. We struggled to park as there is NO parking in the area and we had a massive SUV (very bad idea in Italy)....after we struggled for 15 mins to find a place we went to the monastery and entered. 30 seconds later a very aggressive and rude man started to shout at us in Italian and literally threw us out with no explanation.
We stopped at the restaurant nearby for a coffee and the lovely ladies explained the monastery is closed for an hour or two for lunch. All in all a terrible expereince, waste of money and time and I would not recommend the place as it is nothing to see or do...besides being bullied that is.
The Piazza del Duomo is a grand and picturesque plaza in the heart of Florence, Italy. It's home to the leaning tower and the cathedral of Santa Maria, both well-known tourist attractions. The square is also popular for picnicking, and its tranquil atmosphere makes it a great place to relax after a day of touring.
It was really awesome experience and great 😊 atmosphere to visit Piazza del Duomo in Pisa, Italy 🇮🇹 absolutely stunning 🤩 beautiful church unique architecture and architecture design!
I would recommend this place to everyone who will visit Pisa, Italy 🇮🇹 and a special for professional photographer, when is sunset is very interesting 🤨

Very nice plaza. First time here and it was absolutely amazing experience. Most of this place it was built between 12 and 16 century, and how still standing, they way still looks its awesome. The whole plaza is something else you need to experience. The Cathedral sculpture inside and out are amazing, incredible designs in every angle. The tower very nice, also the rest of the buildings in this plaza are very good and deserves more than five stars.

I visited Piazza del Duomo on a sunny day in August. The square was crowded with people, but I was able to find a spot to stand and take in the amazing sight of the Leaning Tower. I was in awe of its size and beauty, and I couldn't help but smile as I took pictures and imagined what it would be like to climb to the top.
After admiring the Leaning Tower for a while, I wandered around the square and took a closer look at the other buildings. The Cathedral is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, and I was impressed by the intricate detail of the sculptures on the facade. The Baptistery is also a stunning building, and I enjoyed walking around the interior and admiring the white marble columns.
I spent a few hours exploring Piazza del Duomo, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. It is a truly unique and special place, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Pisa.
* I was expecting a lot from this place and it totally amused me.
* As usual, people from different countries were visiting this piece of art and the atmosphere was cheerful even on this scorching heat. Everyone were giving their best pose possible 😉
* In the square apart from the tower their are other important buildings, such as visiting the Cathedral or the Baptistery.
* Fun fact, did you know that the Leaning Tower is actually sinking? So, happy to visit this terminal tower. I hope w tge humanity will find some solution for this problem 🤗
I hope this helps!

Visiting Piazza del Duomo on Christmas Day 2023 was a magical experience. The festive atmosphere, combined with the stunning architecture of the Duomo, Baptistry, and Campanile, created a truly enchanting setting. The square was adorned with holiday decorations, enhancing the joyous spirit of the season. The impressive structures, including the iconic Florence Cathedral, were beautifully illuminated, making it a memorable and picturesque scene. Exploring the Piazza del Duomo during Christmas added an extra layer of warmth and wonder to this already magnificent historical site. It's a must-visit destination, and the holiday season only enhanced its timeless charm.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta in Pisa, Italy is a beautiful and ornate Romanesque cathedral with carved 1300s pulpit. It is often overrated, but its location near the leaning tower means that it can be avoided if you want to visit a stunning place without waiting in line. The gothic cathedral of St. Mary is also worth visiting for its beautiful architecture and setting in one of the most picturesque squares in the world.

I was taken away on entry, you can't help but look up. The huge columns and gold ceiling are incredible. It's is filled with beautiful Baroque paintings and sculpture and could be a museum of its own.
It is well worth the price. I went in March and the queues were negligible.

Beautiful! Not too crowded, really enjoyed our time here :) the cathedral was beautiful and well worth the price. We didn't buy the all-encompassing ticket, we just bought the ticket to the Museum (7€ each), and each ticket would come with a complimentary visit to the cathedral. We felt like that was money well spent. The Museum also had a small cafe we ate at and I got the best pancakes 😍 The ticket to climb the Tower was 20€, and my bf had twisted his ankle climbing the Campanile in Florence the other day, so we decided not to go up it.

Pisa Cathedral is one of the most impressive churches in Tuscany, Italy. A masterpiece of Pisan Romanesque architecture chiefly famous for its bell tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
It says the Construction began in 1063 and was completed in 1092. However, The cathedral was heavily damaged by a fire in 1595. The heavy bronze doors of the façade were newly designed and completed in 1602.
The 27 paintings that cover the galleries behind the main altar, depict Stories of the Old Testament and Stories of the Life of Christ.

The cathedral itself is quite impressive. I would say going inside is more impressive than the leaning tower. Entering the cathedral is free as well and it’s good to take advantage of that.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a tower that leans off of the vertical, due to weak subsoil. The tower was built in 1372 and has been tilting ever since. It is a popular tourist destination, and included in our 10-day Northern Italy tour led by local insider. The climb is hard, but the view from the top is simply superb.
Beautiful place, everything is close to the next attraction. Of course, a lot of people trying to take the typical picture, but you can manage to get good shots away from others. Nice coffee shops to have a snack or an amazing ice cream. Remember to buy tickets in advance, all attractions have different times and there are some restrictions in regards to age (do your research).

Better than I remember from 1983 and better than expected up the tower. A bit pricey at €20 but they have you over a barrel if you want to do it. Great staff and supervision.

Worth seeing but not what I expected which really was my fault.
First arriving and parking: the parking lots are located about 1.5 kilometers away from the square taking about 20 minutes walk. It was HOT when we were there. We should have considered more heat precautions.
Shops: so many shops peddling tourists goods of all shapes and sizes. Purses, shirts, pins, etcetera. Very few are worth while and had I known there was a proper gift shop I would have waited for it. It's located inside near the tower.
Site: make sure to walk around and take in the structures from all the given angles. Tickets for the climb to the top of tower are worth it. There is also a small fountain on the corner inside where you can get some refreshing water from a small phallic out cropping. Also worth seeing.

The famous tower. It's worth climbing to the top but you have to book ahead. The official website takes bookings up to 20 days before your visit. You take an allocated slot.
The climb is not too arduous and you can pause along the way.
You get some great views of the area, although Pisa is not as pretty as other towns.

We recently had the privilege of visiting the iconic Learning Tower of Pisa, and I must say, it exceeded every expectation I had. This architectural masterpiece truly lives up to its reputation as one of the world's most renowned landmarks.
The interior of the Learning Tower of Pisa is equally impressive. As I ascended the spiral staircase, the sense of history and wonder deepened with every step. The views from the top are nothing short of breathtaking. The panoramic vistas of the surrounding cityscape are amazing and offer a unique perspective on Pisa's rich heritage.
What truly stood out to us was the genuine warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their enthusiasm for sharing the tower's history and significance added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit. It's evident that they take great pride in preserving this cultural treasure and in making every visitor's experience unforgettable.

I have to say... I was more impressed with the experience here than I was anticipating. We visited as part of a tour through a cruise and figured we would be here and gone quickly. The grounds were gorgeous and the tower was beautiful. It was a very busy day but people were polite and courteous to others trying to get their fun shots with the tower. Very cool experience!

Beautiful tower. We couldn't make it on top, there were no available time slots for it, so definitely recommending to buy tickets in advance online. But from outside it looks amazing as well. It's funny to observe people doing crazy poses while making pictures 😅👍🏼 but we all did it, right? 😅

Pisa itself as a city is very beautiful and gives a very good vibe. It is filled with young people as it is a student city. Piazza del Duomo is great to stay and to visit everything it has as it is included in one ticket that is worth the price (at the time i bought it for 10 euros not including leaning tower climb) and this ticked is valid for one year. Leaning tower is cherry on top. To be honest it is greater when you see it live than what photos show. To me this city has been out of expectations, very beautiful.

We visited as part of a cruise we were doing, and our cruise docked late so we ended up walking most of the way. It was well worth it though. We were able to meet up with our tour group and walk up to the top of the tower. Some of the steps up the tower have been worn down over the years so they can be a slippery, so be careful. The grounds that the tower sits on is well kept and there are various shops and restaurants in the area as well. We didn’t have any kids with us, but I would imagine small kids would have a hard time climbing all the stairs.

What an amazing site!!!!
First, I saw it very quickly when I was in the train. Then when I went out from the train and was heading to the site, I saw the top of the tower! What a feeling!! Just amazing!
It’s among the most impressive things I ever seen in my life!
All people go there to visit the tower but you should absolutely visit the whole site: the cathedral, the museum etc… because each one of them is a must see site.
I loved this place and would definitely come back during my next visit to Tuscany.

Very touristy but still very pretty. Worth a view if you're in Pisa. There are still plenty of places to get a photo and the other buildings are also very pretty. All round good visit. Didn't go inside but there's something about free entry to the cathedral, couldn't work it out.

It's a beautiful spot to see and take pictures. Located in the middle of the town, the route leads you through romantic and picturesque alleys and street. It's definitely worth a stop-over break if you pass nearby. I enjoyed seeing the tower and eating lovely food, but I wouldn't arrive here as my only holiday destination place. It's also amazingly crowded in the summer season. Heat was unbelievable 🔥, remember to take plenty of water 💧 Other places you could have seen before for free are at the charge in 2023- museum or Gardens

Fantastic historical monument!
The complex includes Tower, Piazza del Duomo and Cathedral di Pisa.
There was a parking close to complex with good price, although when leaving, there was issue with gate and not charged :)) There is a bazar in front and inside.
To go inside the tower, need to have a ticket for 20 euro which usually comes with 1-hour wait. Ticket for the rest of the facility, will come with 7 bucks more, all for 27. I would suggest get the ticket for whole, and once you see the Piazza and cathedral, it will be your turn to get into the leaning tower. I liked to small Halal restaurant in front of the area.
Overall, it will be a great experience to spend 2 – 3 hours over there.

What an amazing building to see when coming to Italy. It’s amazing how it’s leaning and hasn’t moved a lot during these past centuries. I really enjoyed being here and I would definitely recommend you to come. One thing to note is that when doing your famous leaning tower pose, there will be a lot of people walking in front of you. So just be weary of that

Arriving at the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the evening heightened the enchantment of this iconic landmark. The warm hues of the setting sun cast a golden glow on the marble facade, enhancing its timeless beauty. Despite the late hour, the surrounding Square of Miracles was still alive with a vibrant energy.
We explored the base of the tower, marveling at its architectural peculiarity and the intricate details of the nearby Cathedral and Baptistery. The diminishing daylight didn't obscure the elegance of Pisa's historic ensemble.
As twilight descended, the Leaning Tower illuminated, creating a captivating silhouette against the night sky. The subdued lighting added a touch of mystery to the surroundings. The square, adorned with medieval architecture, exuded a quiet charm, making our evening visit a magical experience that showcased Pisa's beauty even under the enchanting cloak of dusk.

Wow... this miracle of architectural is even more impressive when seen live. I recommend buying a combined ticket for all attractions in Piazza del Duomo, because each place is truly magical! The price is 27€ and it is best to book it in online. The tower is a magnificent building, it looks majestic from the outside, but inside it is empty, there are only stairs leading up. An amazing structure where from the first step on the tower I feel how tilted it is.

If you get the chance then you must go to an amazing building. It's quite mesmerizing as you look at it. It's not too busy but not too sure how busy it will be in the summer. We went over Easter break. One for the bucket list ticked off.

Picturesque place from Florescence and a must see tower that’s leaning with time. Please buy tickets in advance they are particular about having. Only a few folks go up to the tower. Bags aren’t allowed. They have a good locker room free of charge.

Absolutely amazing place. Love seeing the whole area in its historical beauty. The tower itself is smaller than I imagined but just fantastic. 294 steps to the top and you can walk around most of the upper level. The views make it well worth a visit. You can purchase a ticket for all buildings at 27 euros each or just the tower at 20 euros pp. There is a free locker room for you to put all bags into as you can't take any bags up the tower. There is a free car park about 10 mins walk away or a bus from same car park. The walk is lovely and not bad at all and all sign posted very well.

I recommend getting there early in the morning, it's really peaceful and there aren't many people around. Buying tickets in advance is also recommended, you will then have to leave your stuff at the wardrobe and then line up to enter. The entrance is divided in groups, your group will have a precise hour at which you will enter, so you have to come at least 15 minutes before. Green pass is needed to access the tower. The steps are a bit worn-out, so you should wear comfortable shoes. The view is amazing, you can really see all the city from up there, you might feel a bit of seasickness because of the inclination
Irene Carrillo — Google review
Amazing climbing the steps of the leaning tower. When climbing the steps, you clearly feel a tilt. The climb is quite long. Please be careful when you go up the main stairs there is another smaller set. Which leads to the top. Many people don't notice the passage and it's worth it . The view from the top is simply breathtaking. An absolute must climb if anyone visits Pisa.

We stopped here on our way to Rome. And it's exactly that: a nice and quick stop on your way to another destination. We spent an hour here to walk around and take some pictures.
It's a beautiful and funny sight to see
There is a big amount of people, but still very doable to take pictures.

Exactly what you expect it to be from what all you've read or seen about it. Did not enter as we hadn't booked tickets in advance but still pretty good from the outside. We had visited in June and it was super hot though so make sure to have plenty of water and something to protect you from the Sun.

One of those moments when you actually come across this and see it with your own eyes that you marvel at the beauty of this structure.
Very fortunate to book tickets to walk the stairs to the top, which is absolutely worth the time and money.
You can feel the lean as you walk up and then the view from the top is just amazing.
Dan Duncan — Google review
This totally met my expectations! A really fascinating and beautiful piece of architecture. I’d recommend buying tickets in advance to climb up although some tickets were available on the day I went (mid October and not high season). The majority of the steps are fine to climb although the very last section is a little worn and the tilting can make you feel a little ‘wobbly’
The views are great and is highly recommend it

The Leaning Tower looks really pristine from the outside and is well looked after. Approx 250 steps to the top and spectacular views. Not too crowded as they have bookings for 15 min slots - it’s well managed. We went in November but I can imagine it being super hot in the summer against the marble.
Nishat RIAz — Google review
We visited the tower on a rainy day. The tower still stands tall. It is amazing. The place is crowded. It is a must see and worth all the effort traveling from Rome to see the tower.
The town is small, nothing much to see beside the tower itself. Highly recommend to buy the ticket in advance or come as early as possible. The line gets very long in the afternoon.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is an iconic marvel that truly lives up to its reputation. The architecture is breathtaking, and the slight tilt adds a unique charm. The surrounding square is lively, providing a great atmosphere for visitors. It's a must-visit destination, offering history, beauty, and a bit of fun trying to capture that perfect perspective photo. Highly recommended!
Just to be aware, one of the site in square are tombs you will be walking on.

We have always wanted to visit here and it was even more incredible than we could have imagined!
The tower really is a building marvel and is so cool that you can climb up to the top by staircase and see from up there.
Buy tickets prior to not miss out and go early in the morning to avoid all the tour buses arriving around 9am.
We got there at 8am and it was quiet but by 10am when we left, the parking had a 30+ car queue to get in.
Great hour to explore on our roadtrip 🙌
Patrick Kinnear — Google review
This is a breathtaking place that I'd always wanted to visit and it did not disappoint. It was very disconcerting walking up the tower and falling over as it lent to one side of course. Even when you come out you're a bit disconcerted because you can't stand up straight! The cathedral and the baptistery were both wonderful as well. We had beautiful weather and to crown off a perfect day, the museum, full of statues and ancient relics, was a site to behold. There are wonderful cheap cafés nearby for excellent refreshments as well. My one piece of advice would be to buy a ticket for all the sites before getting there.
Amanda Brawn — Google review
We’ve all seen this place on the TV, in the magazines and on the internet but to see it in real life is pretty special.
For those who want photos with nobody in the background, get there early. For those who just want to see it and take it all in, anytime of the day is great.
Very clean and leans a lot more than you imagine.
Rhys Adams — Google review
Iconic reason to visit Pisa and is totally worth the time. Climbing the tower is something you will never forget. Walking around the grounds and watching all the tourists pose for goofy pictures with the tower is actually kind of fun as well.
Plan to buy the combo ticket and spend the whole day. The church, crypts, and museum are all worth the time it takes to visit them.
Try to visit the baptistry on the hour or half hour mark when a security guard will amaze you with the acoustics by harmonizing with his echo. Truly magical display of sound.

Its quite the impressive structure. You can view it from the outside at any time but you will need a ticket if you want to climb the inside. The tickets are time gated and limited, so I would recommend purchasing them in advance if you want to go inside.
Evan Friscia — Google review
Yes, it's very tilted. Different when you see it on the spot. I don't recommend buying tickets in advance because there are specifics that will be explained on the spot much better and the flow of people is quite smooth. Now, april 2024, the ticket is 20€ tower, 7€ all else, 27€ combined (recommended). Have at least 2 hours spare time, 4 if you're slow. You need to leave your bag in storage so rather go without any kind of bags. You must also collect them immediately after. Normal rules apply for the other spaces - you must be covered to enter. You can get here easily from Bologna and Florence by bus. Have someone with you to make the "holding" picture. There is a toilet in the museum (southern building). Ticket office is one, you can't buy tickets on the line for the locations. What shocked me most is - the tower is empty. Well, that's about it... Don't forget to have fun.

Beautiful if you can catch it in the early morning. If you just want to see the outside, that is the perfect time to go. There's no one there and you can see the tourist shops opening up their tents.
This outdoor theater hosts an annual Andrea Bocelli concert, plus a statue that changes yearly.
I am writing this review after a visit on a spectacular afternoon in mid-May when the Tuscan hills are green. I have not seen a concert there (yet). It's easy to find and a wonderful place to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany. It blows me away that other reviewers dismiss this site and say "there is nothing to see." Relax. Breathe. Meditate. Drink a glass of wine. Feel the natural beauty of this place. Maybe even put Bocelli's music in your ear buds. Then you will know what it means to experience this uniquely beautiful theatre.

Despite the fact it's the home land of Andrea bocelli, but I was expecting better organization and prepared infrastructure
Dr.Arafat Mansur — Google review
I attended the Andrea Bocelli concert in July 2023. The venue is a fantastic place. All the equipments are also with high quality, from the musical equipment, screens and light effects to the refreshments and toilets. I attended the event with 5-star expectation, but got disappointed with many things I never imagined of!
1- The event organisation was really weak, the concert started literally 44 minutes later than planned. That means by the time Andrea sang his first song, it was already dark! If you are attending, expect long queues, and extra-long delays. It could have been much better.
2- Half of the songs are classic Operas. I doubt if the majority of the audience enjoyed it! I expected an event like the one in 2007, found in Youtube. It was not at all like that.
And the last but not least,
3- I encountered many queue-jumping acts right in front of me. I was speechless how a well-dressed lady or gentleman can do this!
Positive points:
1- Great tuscan scenery combined with a high quality music show. It's unique!
2- Andrea's voice is magical. Loren Allred, the young talent accompanying him, had a great performance.
3- The seats are comfortable and the scene can be seen well from each seat category.

Museo Piaggio, located in Pontedera and inaugurated in 2000, is situated within the factory that gave birth to the iconic Vespa. The museum boasts a collection of over 250 pieces, including various Vespas, as well as historical railway and aeronautical artifacts from the early 20th century. Additionally, it showcases motorcycles from renowned Italian brands such as Aprilia, Gilera, and Moto Guzzi.
I can honestly say, the Piaggio museum is one of the best motoring museums, I have visited.
When the Italians do something, they add their own ingredient of passion to the mix and it shows in abundance at the Piaggio museum.

Book in advance!! Blew away my expectations. Amazing building and collection of Vespas and other Piaggio vehicles. We didn’t realize we were supposed to make a reservation, but the friendly staff let us in. The fact that this is a free museum is wild to me. Our 3 year old son LOVED it. Amazing rainy day activity in Tuscany.

For me a personal place of Cult. Understanding what is Piaggio, and Corradino D'Ascanio legacy, is inspiring under many humanistic aspects. The museum contains many Gilera and Guzzi and Aprilia as well. The visit can vary between one and two hours. If you love vehicles, I suggest to go there, and then maybe have a nice lunch close to the sea.

Reservations required for this excellent free museum in order to book a time slot in advance. A guided tour can be added for 5 euro, but the museum can be easily done self-guided as there were comprehensive descriptions of each vehicle in both Italian and English. We spent a full hour exploring and found the exhibits quite engaging.

Book ahead only - this works great as it means visitor numbers are limited and everyone has plenty of space. Visiting times of 1 hour are enough.
The shop isnt great tho. They could do SO much more merchandise. I would have loved racks of thirts, posters and Vespa gadgets. The shop is a 10x10m box with no imagination.
And theres no information on their dealer network - this is a perfect place to sell their products!! C’mon Piaggio… you can do so much better.

Consider opening hours.
Space for kids, couple of bathrooms, vespa sidecar for taking pictures. History, design and art in single space.
Mekka for vespa addicted. For the rest… must see.

My wife, boys and I visited whilst travelling to Pisa, as we needed to pass a few hours! What an absolute treat this turned out to be; I was so glad we found it!
First of all…… you have to book a slot via their website and there are restriction on opening times and days, particularly at the weekend!
This is free museum with voluntary donations at the exit (well worth a donation). There is adequate parking along the street on a Sunday.
The museum is not huge and my family comfortably saw what we want in an hour. However, for Vespa fans or other Piaggio production bike fans (Aprilia etc) you could easily spend so much more time here! There is an absolute wealth of history about the company and all of the motorbikes (and more) that is has produced through the years.
A must for any avid or casual motorbike enthusiast.

Full disclosure: This place has been on my bucket list to visit for many years.
I have seen the photos, and read the reviews so I knew what to expect. It's not as big as you wish it could be. But it's free (donation of at least 5E is appreciated).
The staff were really friendly and helpful too.
This place is an absolute treasure of all things Vespa and Piaggio. There is lots to see in the 1 hour window you are given to tour the museum. Its plenty enough time, plus you can spend your hard earned cash in the gift shop too.
Make sure you book in advance via the museum website. Your name will be on a list. Knock on the doors and they will let you in and check you off.
Don't forget to go upstairs and check out the artwork Vespas and the other Piaggio items in the separate room. I really do love the Ape's.
The fortress walls of Lucca are a popular location for biking and walking. The walls are twelve metres high and four kilometers long, and feature a tree-lined footpath that looks down on the city's centro storico.
My favourite part of our visit to Lucca was the Mura di Lucca. An absolutely brilliant use of the city wall by having a multipurpose recreational trail on top of the wall! Paved for walking and wheeling, the many ramps give ready access for users. The bulwarks of the wall have parks, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Several museums and the Botanical gardens are accessed from the trail. The Mura also has several gates as well as pedestrian tunnels.
Stunning views of the hills surrounding Lucca.
Worth a saunter!

You cannot come to Lucca without experiencing the walls. Whether you pass through one of the six large Ports that allow pedestrian and car traffic or one of the smaller ports that are pedestrian only, this magnificent wall is truly a sight to see. Besides being used to separate the centro from the rest of Lucca, it has walking paths on the top, restaurants, a hospitality center for those walking the via Francigena, and the original places for the soldiers that used to patrol these walls. There is a lot of history here.
In addition, there are places to picnic, playgrounds, and art installations. On warmer days there will be musicians playing and artists drawing or painting the sights around them.
Or, you can just walk along and enjoy the sights or take a bike ride down the wide avenue that allows you to walk all the way around the city in a contiguous loop.

We spent a couple of hours cycling around the walls of Lucca today. There are numerous bike hire places around Lucca both inside the walls and outside. We hired from Fast and Furious which is outside the walls.
The circuit is about 4km around and very flat apart from the ramps up onto the walls which aren't very steep, but you can walk the bikes up if you need to.
There are wide, tree lined paths which have people walking, jogging and cycling on them. On a weekday like today in September they were busy and it was a very relaxing way to get in some gentle exercise. Most of the cyclists are very relaxed and not whizzing around aggressively.

Nestled in the Apuan Alps of Tuscany, Antro del Corchia Levigliani is a captivating cave system renowned for its striking stalactites and dramatic lava formations. Accessible via a bus ride from the nearby ticket office, this off-the-beaten-path attraction offers guided tours lasting around 2-2.5 hours, providing an opportunity to explore its fascinating interior filled with intricate stalactites and serene lakes.
Beautiful cave. The tour guide always took the time to explain everything in English as well even though only me and my family didn't speak Italian. Make sure to bring a warm sweater and long pants!

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

This is out of the beaten path attraction. You park near the ticket office and reach the cave by a bus (included in the tickets). You can only enter with a guided tour of about 2-2.5 hours. You can combine it with a 45 minute tour to the mercury mine nearby.
Not all guides are fluent in English, but you can check this with the park by emails (and reserve a spot). There is a small kiosk at the cave entrance.

The Palazzo Comunale, the Art Gallery's Camera del Podesta and Pinacoteca (Government Offices) are home to wonderful artworks from the 13th-17th centuries. The tower has a scenic view over the town and surrounding countryside.
Incredible place. The tallest tower (54m) in San Gimignano. There is a museum, too. It's worth to go on the top.

A really MUST!! This is the tallest tower in San Gimignano... so you can imagine how beautiful is the view... On top of it... it is not as difficult as one may think... A MUST!!!

If you're gonna do just one thing in San Gimignano, climb the Torre Grossa. Definitely do it. Beats every single other experience we've had in Tuscany and Italy so far. The views from the top are just spectacular, a 360 degree view of the Tuscan countryside. I can't stress enough how beautiful it is. There are quite a few steps up - around 200, and there is no lift. So keep that in mind. It's worth getting the combined ticket if you're interested in medieval art, churches and frescoes, otherwise just go up the tower.
Come earlier during the day. We visited around 11 AM on a Saturday in May. There was no wait and not too many people - it didn't feel packed on the top.

Is remarkable, beautiful and medieval. But expensive ticket. I did not pay to climb. There are better views from other parts of the city. Ice cream is superb :).

It is the tallest tower in the town and can be visited at a cost of €9 or €13 with the "SAN GIMIGNANO PASS".
There are many steps to reach the platform with the bells but the reward is a magnificent 360° panorama.
Wealthy families showed off their wealth by building towers and compete in their height .
A limit was placed on this, they could not be higher than the Rognosa tower, that of the "podestà" who was a public magistrate with various tasks.
To expand the space available to him in 1300 he began the construction of this new palace with this even higher tower: 54 meters.
For this reason the Grossa tower is also called the new "Podestà" tower.

Amazing little medieval walled city. Really wonderful to walk around and visit the different shops and feel the history all around it.

Especially when it’s nice weather, I recommend to climb all the way up and admire the view from the top of the 50-meter-high tower. The stairs may take you some time (there are around 200 steps) but have been renovated so they are wide and more than safe

Well-worth the hike up 200+ stairs for these incredible 360 degree views of Tuscany. You need to climb a ladder to get to the very top of the tower and need to duck under the bell to experience the full views, which further limits accessibility, but there are some spots to take in views through windows along the way if the full climb isn't for you.
Claire — Google review
Possibly the best panoramic view in Tuscany! San Gimignano and Montepulciano are my favorites for scenic views. Worth the climb up the stairs and small ladder. Not crowded, even on a weekend, when nearby gelato shops have lines.

When you visit San Gimignano the best place to see the amazing beauty of the town and surrounding countryside is to climb the Torre Grossa.
The views are well worth the climb, which is not too arduous.
Dan Woodruff — Google review
My wife and I paid 13EUR each to obtain a pass that included Torre Grossa entry. Despite being Sunday with crowds in the city, there was no line or waiting to gain entry to the tower. We ascended the 218 steps to the top of the tower and enjoyed spectacular views of both the city and surrounding area. The steps up are 'grated metal' and thus allow you to see all the way to the bottom of the stairwell if you look straight down - those with vertigo are advised to hang on to the railing and simply look straight ahead and you will be good-to-go. The stairwell ends with quite literally a steel ladder that you must climb approximately 10 feet before entering the top of the tower - so anyone not able to climb ladder rungs should probably avoid this adventure.

San Gimignano - a perfectly pretty and small hilltop Tuscany town with many medieval towers. Torre Grossa is the tallest and only one that you can climb - and you must climb to view awesome Tuscany landscapes.

Great view Toscana from the top of the Torre. Forget about climbing the stairs. Is very easy to get to the top and also worth the effort and the money.
Piazza della Cisterna is a triangular plaza located in the heart of San Gimignano, Italy. The square is named for its 13th-century cistern, which still stands today. The plaza is surrounded by stately medieval buildings and attracts tourists due to its beauty and history.
Beautiful medieval square, when entering it you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. It had a well, Ice cream shops, souvenir shops etc. In the afternoon it can get busy, but in the morning or evening it’s less busy and also more beautiful.

A Medieval Masterpiece in Tuscany that must be seen. Wander through this beautiful town and be transported back in time.

Main entrance to the town. Parking is at a premium with a number parking areas scattered outside town. This should be your warning you are stepping into a tourist honey trap.
Yes, it is full of beautiful buildings, but it is also packed with tourists and all the shops to support them.
I visited in Autumn and it was still heaving in the late afternoon. Try and visit out of season to see it's true beauty. Or visit one of the less well known towns.

Once we step inside the city walls in San Gimignano, we feel like we have stepped into another time, a few centuries back. It’s not just buildings that touch the clouds that are the only thing worth seeing in San Gimignano. Although the towers are what sets the city apart from others, many small charming Tuscan places. There are also countless beautiful churches, valuable works of art, palaces, beautiful narrow streets and squares. One of them is Piazza della Cisterna (Cistern Square). In earlier times, the Piazza della Cisterna was the centre of all public performances, tournaments and festivals that were held in the city. It was also the main marketplace of the people. Its design is from the 13th century and it is named after the Cisterna (Water Cistern) that is still present amid the piazza today. Connected to the town’s largest square, Piazza del Duomo through an open passage, this piazza is entirely paved with brick and is surrounded on all sides by houses and towers from the Medieval Era. The beauty and charm of this square is created by the beautiful atmosphere and scenery with l’arco dei Becci (Arc of Becci), which is the gate of the ancient city of San Gimignano. The Torri dei Becci (Tower of Becci) is on the left and the Torri dei Cugnanesi (Tower of Cugnanesi) is on the right side of this arc. Among these is the Palazzo Razzi, characterized by its mullion windows. The adjacent Casa Salvestrini is a former hospital that was converted into a hotel. Dine at the hotel’s café patio or upper floor restaurant, which affords views across Tuscany’s majestic countryside. Overlooking the north side of the square we can see Devil's Tower. Legend states that, after a trip, the tower’s proprietor noticed that its height had increased. He accredited the occurrence to a diabolical intervention and the tower subsequently took on its name. The square, along with Piazza Duomo, is a venue for various fairs which are held as part of festivals in honor of saints, including St. Fina, the city’s patron saint.

Piazza Della Cisterna, 20, 53037 San Gimignano SI, Italy
The Devil's Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge over the Serchio river, constructed in 1100 AD for medieval pilgrims. It is a steep structure that blends well with its rocky surroundings and is easily accessible without any special skills or clothing. The bridge has been well maintained over time and offers a pleasant resting spot for travelers passing through the area. On clear days, visitors can enjoy the reflection of the bridge in the calm waters of the river.
A very interesting bridge in terms of architecture, known as the "Devil's Bridge (Ponte del diavolo)". The place is a bit "in the middle of nowhere", but definitely worth a stop right on the road.

If you have a chance to visit then dont miss. I dont know how it look in dry season but I visited during late winter my 1 hr time I spend near the bridge is awesome with clouds and fogg. We have free parking right next to the bridge and very few locals passing the bridge. It is less known because of less publicity but If you found then dont miss.
Jyothi Swaroop — Google review
Excellent example of medieval construction, the bridge has four spans and gives a great view of the river. It is a relatively easy climb to the top, and if your visit is timed correctly you can see one of the local trains passing under the bridge. Great sport for a picturesque lunch. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.
Angelo Serra — Google review
A nice spot to rest a little. We had passed the bridge several times, thinking we'd visit it for sure next time we passed it. And so when were headed for Venice coming from Molazana we took the opportunity. It's a steep bridge over a wide river (but easily walkable, no need for special training or atire ;) ). It is very well maintained and integrates nicely in its rocky environment. On the particular day we visited, the river was calm and the sky was blue so the bridge also nicely reflected on the water surface. Definntely worth stopping if ou drive by and the weather is nice.

THE BRIDGE OF MARY MAGDALENE ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEVIL'S BRIDGE
The bridge was probably erected by Countess Matilda of Canossa in the eleventh century to allow travellers and pilgrims to reach Lucca and the Francigena.
It was restored by the government of Castruccio Castracani in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. The name of the bridge comes from the hermitage that was built at its foot in 1526, which contained a statue of Mary Magdalene. The statue can currently be found in the Church of Saint James the Great (San Jacopo) in Borgo a Mozzano. A masterpiece of medieval engineering,
the Devil's Bridge overlooks the River Serchio and has always been the subject of fantasies, myths and legends. In the late 1800s, the bridge was modified to allow the passage of the Lucca-Aulla railway line, with the addition of a new are on the right bank. During the Second World War it was damaged by the Nazis, who were by then abandoning the fortifications of the Gothic Line,
but fortunately the bridge was not destroyed. Although nobody knows for sure why the Devil's Bridge was spared by the Germans, it was likely because they deemed it not suitable for the transportation of military equipment and therefore not worth destroying. The bridge has the classic medieval "hunchback" design, but what makes it different is that the arches
are asymmetrical and the central one is so high and wide that it seems to defy the laws of gravity.
THE LEGEND
The Legend: The sinister name of the "Devil's Bridge" is due to a legend of which there are several versions. The best known is the one that takes us back to its construction: it is said that the task of building the bridge was entrusted to Saint Giuliano 1' Ospitaliere. The work proved difficult from the outset. The foreman in charge of the work was in despair because he knew that the bridge could not be completed in time. One evening, as he sat alone on the river bank, thinking of the disgrace he would be in if the bridge was not finished, the Devil appeared to him and proposed a deal.
The Devil could make it so that the bridge was completed in a single night, but on one condition: that he could take for himself the first soul to cross the bridge. The pact was signed and in one night
the Devil lifted the entire bridge into place with his pitchfork. Filled with remorse, the man confessed the deal to a priest, who told him to respect the pact but to send a pig over the bridge first.

We drove past this bridge several times while in the area and finally had a chance to go explore it. The story behind it is rather unique and I suggest you take a few minutes to read up on it. The bridge is rather steep so be prepared but it's not that long of a walk. Once on top. The view is pretty cool

Absolutely lovely views and surprised myself walking over the bridge as I am afraid of heights 😀 only downside is the road is a main road and very busy with speeding traffic espeically on a wet day and I had 2 dogs on leads but so close to the road.
Totally recommended. It will take you in an ancient part of the city which is the true face of an Italian village with all the history.

A fun and most definitely beautiful ride to the top of the mountain in Montecatini. It’s the easiest way to get to the top and relatively cheap also (€7,50 for a two way ticket).

The funicular was a classic old model that, as one would expect, moved real slowly. The view of the valley and the sunset as you are going up is superb. The temp was a tad cold but I would still recommend standing on the outside the back of the funicular to get a picture without being obstructed by the glass in the window for a very fine photo.
As for the old town of Montecatini, nothing that great. Most of the restaurants are overly priced and the service is just average at the one pizza place we went to. Not worth the ticket of the funicular if you are just going for dinner at a restaurant.

I was on a trip with friends to Montecatini - Terme, so we decided to visit Funicolare di Montecatini. It was an amazing experience, it was so much fun riding on the small train [cable car]. We enjoyed it. I would recommend visiting. You can buy tickets there, and they aren't expensive at all. Also, remember to bring your phone to take pictures of the breathtaking view :)
Beautiful experience, anybody who has a chance must visit!
Overall, we loved it. 10/10!

Montecatini Alto, an ancient hill village overlooking Montecatini Terme, was sketched out in the late 18th century by Grand Duke Leopold of Lorraine. The town is seamlessly integrated into the landscape with a tree-lined avenue connecting the main spa buildings and a funicular built in 1898 providing access to Montecatini Alto. The area offers various accommodation options, from stylish Art Nouveau hotels to simple alberghi.
Antinori nel Chianti Classico is an architecturally innovative winery located in the Tuscan hills. It blends seamlessly into its surroundings and offers cellar tours and tastings for visitors. The winery has been rated as one of the world's most beautiful, and it produces excellent but expensive wines. In addition to tastings, guests can also enjoy wine at the on-site restaurant.
Mind-blowing architecture, beautiful outside seating, impeccable service, mouthwatering food and outstanding wine. Couldn't have asked for a more special experience. The tours are fantastic as well! A must if you are in Tuscany.

Need to make reservations for wine tasting and/or to eat at the restaurant.

Removing 1 star because we found the service to be extremely slow. We ordered a few vegetarian items off the menu & they were not that impressive.
The ambiance / architecture of this place was phenomenal.

This is a very fancy winery. It has been rated as one of the nicest in the world for how it looks. It is super modern and they produce good wines, and they are expensive. I did not do a tasting but explored the grounds before lunch and it was nice. The tastings run around 160€ so if you wanna do that be prepared. If you don’t wanna do that you can go to their restaurant and order some of their wines. Went in March and the vines were not in full bloom.
I would return.

If you are looking for a winery close to florence or highway to take pictures with vineyards with a cool background and new age architecture, this is your spot.
There is a restaurant on top floor that the people are super nice. You have to book a reservation beforehand. It is a different name then this Google spot, can see from maps, and book the reservation through there. Don’t try to use website for this place as hard to get info.
I do recommend coming to see place, have to take a shuttle in also and park around. It is a professional place, just realize before you come that it isn’t a small family owned winery.

We booked wine testing (the short tour with 3 wines) for a couple, like a month before we arrived. we wanted our friends (another couple with a baby) to join us but there were no more available places on the website for the time we booked. so I booked our friends a tasting on another day. I have send them an email and asked if it was possible we do it together and luckily they changed the reservation so that we can make it.
My point is - you should try to talk to them in advance.
The place is beautiful, wonderful architecture and the wines were good.
I liked the most the Chianti Classico they offered.
You can also buy a testing in the wine shop.
Great experience.

Absolutely amazing. The winery is stunning with breathtaking views. We weren’t able to do a tour but enjoyed the tasting room and restaurant upstairs.

It was above and beyond and we were so grateful for their hospitality. We will be sure to book a tour next time we are in Florence!

The wine was good but the tour was not worth it. It was a 2 hour tour + tasting but the tour lasted the full two hours and droned on for a very long time.

Amazing place architecturaly. Well done for vision and courage.
Poor for ease of access. It was a very wet day and we were not allowed to drop our passengers up at the entrance. We were directed to a distant car park and told a shuttle bus would collect us. There was only one small shuttle bus which could take 8 passengers. There were a lot of people waiting.
We had to set off walking in the rain which took us 20 minutes. When we got to the restaurant (very wet) we were told we were 20 minutes late! There was no help for the physically challenged. Food and wine was very good but pricey. We trudged back to the car park after lunch and the shuttle bus passed us on the way down with only 2 people in it and didn't stop to take some of us. One of our group had a problem knee and found it very difficult.
It is certainly an amazing place but they need to be more customer caring. Allow the driver to drop off their passengers. This would put less pressure on the shuttle bus and, also, please do something to enable access for wheelchair users and those who find walking difficult.

Tiania tour (the smallest one) was nice, but it felt a bit rushed. We've been to winery tours where the guide is way more passionate and excited about wine making. This felt a bit robotic. Given this is a very large and famous winery, I can see why. Overall, we were very impressed with the facilities.
The wine tasting was pretty standard. If you wanted additional tastings to the tour, you could pay for different sized pours.
It's a beautiful spot to visit, but you absolutely need to book months in advance. I'd go again to try their more expensive tours, but I wouldn't expect the family run vibe.

Antinori nel Chianti Classico offers a serene escape amidst the stunning landscapes of Tuscany, blending sustainable design with fine wines for a memorable experience. The tour, priced at 100€ per person, leads guests through meticulously designed spaces that meet high expectations. However, while the ambiance is enchanting, the tour experience lacks depth in information delivery, leaving some visitors wanting more engagement. Additionally, though the staff means well, service in the restaurant area can be slow, with prices slightly outweighing the perceived quality. Despite these hiccups, Antinori nel Chianti Classico remains a captivating retreat for wine lovers and design enthusiasts alike.

We visited the winery in July of 2023, and had the best time. I would highly recommend booking far pin advance as its very hard to get a spot for a tour and tasting. We booked in the spring (approximately April) for a full experience tour and tasting + lunch.
The architecture is truly amazing, and almost transports you to another world. You arrive underneath the famous staircase, and then make your way up to the main lobby where you meet your guide and begin your tour. The full tour is about 1.5 - 2 hours where you get to see the different areas of the winery. The place is meticulously clean and well maintained, and the guides are knowledgeable and kind. After the tour, we were able to experience a small group tasting in one of their beautiful tasting rooms. We then made our way to the roof to have lunch (+ more wine) and their garden terrace restaurant. The food was delicious, and they were very generous with the wine at lunch!
I would highly recommend booking the first time slot of the day - we arrived at 10 am and toured with a group of approximately 10 people which allowed us to do our tasting in the beautiful small room overlooking the wine barrels. Other groups later in the day seemed to have double the amount of people included, so the wine tasting happened as more of a standing cocktail table affair, which wouldn’t have provided the same experience.

While the breathtaking architecture will help enjoy the shop and wine tasting experience, the over the top building has to be paid for by something, and that is with overpriced wine. 18€ tasting for 1oz of 4 different bottles and tours from 45€ to 185€. Obviously the 45€ tour is never available, so you are pushed into the expensive experience.
The service by the gate guard and tasting staff were terrific, but the reception desk is an area to skip.
Come for the view and the architecture, don’t expect much else but overpriced wine.

Moreover, the enclosure areas are shaded by trees, providing a comfortable environment for the animals while making it easier to spot them.
Very nice little zoo, many different animals.

Good zoo with playground for children, reasonable price — some animals were either hard to find, well hidden, or currently unavailable but despite that family had a great day out, easy to get to from main roads with a car, restaurant on site opened at 12.

This is a smaller zoo, we paid kn the day and arrived early so.were.few people in the park. Clear map and layout is on a holl but easy walking and fine for buggies and small walking children. My children both enjoyed the time spent there.

A really nice zoo with a lot of animals. Reasonable entry price although we could have saved by booking in advance. Plenty of free parking which is always welcome.
Only niggle was a few empty enclosures and/or animals impossible to see. I know this is to be expected but it still disappoints. A bonus was that the gift shop was closed which saved me money! We did visit mid week in October.
Overall well worth a visit.

Most beautiful zoo I've seen in a long time. The animals have plenty of space and the kids had a great time!!

A not really big zoo in Pistoia, but a fun place for kids since they have lots of animals.

Nice zoo to visit and as an escape from the city. There are many animal species from large ones to smaller ones including various insects, and its quite well kept. Afaik there is no public transport to reach, though there is large parking if you arrive by car. I went on a hot summer day and it wasn’t crowded. There is also petting area with goats, sheep, pony etc… there is a restaurant / cafe and a gift shop inside but i didnt check the prices. Full tickets is 16€ and reservation is mandatory but its easy to do online and there is usually free slots.

A wonderful zoo! It is indeed not very big, but you can easily spend 3-4 hours here, like we did. There is a lot of shade, which is important on a hot summer day.
A nice playground for children.
We loved the variety of animals and how everything is arranged.
Make sure you have comfortable shoes, as the zoo is on the hill and you will need to walk up and down a lot. But it's doable even with small children and a stroller!

Expensive entrance fees, it was rainy day we couldn’t see many animals unfortunately :(
I would recommend to go to this one instead for same entrance fee Parco Natura Viva

We visited in the morning and although animals such as the bears, wolves etc were still in their bed, the kids (2&4) had a blast- as did we.
The park is not too large and has lots of opportunities to stop and play in the playgrounds or for a bite to eat.
The kids particularly enjoyed seeing the guinea pigs and their babies.

Am amazing zoo experience !!
Loved animals so wanted to go to this zoo whilst we were in Italy. The zoo was a perfect size, it wasn’t too large to walk around but not to small either. The animals had lovely enclosures with lots of greenery and space for the animals. The zoo didn’t feel run down, it was clean and had lots of nice natural shade on this particular sunny day ! There was an amazing range of animals and I even got to see my favourite, Capybaras, which cannot be found in UK zoos, so that was cool !! The giftshop was nice too where I bough a cute Guinea pig stuffed animal. I’d recommend seeing the Guinea pigs, they were adorable !

The park is in a desolate and terrible condition. The animals have hardly any space and whats worst: the health of the animals is alarming. The ostrich hardly has any feathers left, is bleeding and looks sick. A report has been made to the responsible veterinary authority - hopefully at least they will feel responsible for the animals well beeing if the zoo is not. It is awful and cruel.

Wonderful day trip from lucca! Animals seem loved and well taken care of! Park is clean and well manicured.
A wide mix of retail stores & eateries in a bustling shopping complex with whimsical accents.
While staying Florence we rented a car and drove around the countryside, then we got a little extra time so decided to drop by on the way back. The place is gigantic and you will find everything you will need, if especially shopping is part of your travel itinerary it's worth visiting. Everything is SO MUCH cheaper than city center (especially shoes and clothes).

Nice big mall near Florence and Prato. Good place for taking the family on the weekend when it's too cold outside or raining and you're looking for a place to hang out. Good restaurants and fast food joints on the top floor with places for kids to play like the dinosaur land.

You can find anything here you even have a Starbucks which in Italy there are only very few.

It's probably the biggest shopping centre In Italy. You can find anything you want here- from fashion to grocery to all services including medical and dental. Hardware also and of course food!

I GIGLI welcomes its guests in the Tuscan paradise of Shopping. Let yourself be tempted by the restaurants in the Food Court: from the Tuscan traditions to the ethnic recipes, from the restaurants for those who can take their time to venues thought for a snack or a quick lunch, every wish will be satisfied. A place to spend time with family, friends… and the world of dinosaurs for the little ones...

I went to this shopping center last November and I love it, it’s precious and the decoration is also very beautiful. There is a lots of shops where you can buy a lots of different things for a good price.

My favorite go to place. Omg a big postive point is that now there is Starbucks too. You can shop from every kind of brands there. There is a big food court there too. And a good place to enjoy with your partner and children.

Stage shipping mall, big and not well organized. The departments with shops are small. Too crowded

This shopping center is a short drive from the city center and you can spend your whole day here. From affordable Primark to somewhat expensive Coin there is everything you may want or need in your life. Last year even KFC was opened here
Elizaveta Mochalova — Google review
A lot of high-end stores that not everyone can afford. The food court is the best part, since there's plenty of choices for everyone

#Coin. This season nothin to buy in Coin, especially the Corall brand. Old styles in new colors. The quality of the materials is very poor. Silk lost color after the first wear. And director of Coin in a boorish form refused to return the money. She was probably hired specifically for this purpose.

We went to the mall to shop during the sales. The sales promotions were worthwhile with high discount rates.
It was only unfortunate that in some stores the clothes were not always neatly laid out/ on the floor.
In terms of shopping opportunities, there are numerous stores from shoes to clothes and even domotica.
After a day of shopping you can enjoy a quick bite at a fast food chain like KFC/MCD or at a restaurant!
Definitely worth a visit on a hot day because there is air conditioning inside.

HUGE SHOPPING MALL ! On Friday our limo driver Martin was driving us from our hotel in Florence to our Airbnb in Bologna where we would spend a few days. We explained to Martin that we needed a few personal travel items and he suggested we stop at this shopping mall. Martin being a local knew the ropes well and Media World had everything we needed. A lot of neat stuff in the mall !

One of the Biggest shopping malls in Florence. You can find almost every fashion store, media world and big panorama supermarket here. There are many facilities for children's entertainment and amusement. It's about 35 minute by bus from from Florence.

Here is the deal. I didn't want to come here, my wife did. I did want a new pair of sunglasses, and there were none. Really, there just wasn't a lot of verity, and the bathrooms were small. I wouldn't have gone here to start with, and I'm not going back

Rocchetta Mattei is a restored 19th-century count's castle located in the Bolognese Mountains. Built by Count Cesare Mattei, it boasts a whimsical mix of Moorish, medieval, and Italian architectural styles. Visitors can explore the palace during weekend visits and enjoy concerts, exhibitions, and events. The tour provides interesting and thorough information about the history and architecture of the castle. However, some visitors feel that the guided tour is too short and strictly timed.
Beautiful architecture and a splendid collection of old musical instruments. All visits are guided, helping a lot in understanding the incredible and mysterious history of the place. Highly recommended.

An absolute pleasant surprise! We were a group of 6 and both adults and kids enjoyed it. The lady that walked us through was excellent.

It’s an interesting tour, especially if Alessandra is your guide! She makes the whole visit a great experience.
Keep in mind you need to book in advance, and it is open only during the weekends (at least for now).

Very interesting and beautiful castle. Easy to get to with free parking. The price is inclusive of a tour in Italien and an Audio Guide in English, German, French.
Recommend if you are interested in architecture and modern versions of oriental mixes. However, I feel like the audio guides could be expanded a bit, as the tour guide seemed to give much more information.

Located in the outskirts of the metropolitan city of Bologna in the little town of Riola. Amazing views and a truly magnificent structure ritch with history and interesting backstories about it's founder and tenet. A place not to miss if you happen to have some time on your hands and want to explore places around Bologna. Easily accessible by train or by car. If you happen to chose the train you can easily get one from Bologna Central station, you then need to get off at Riola station from which the Rocchetta is just a few minutes by foot up a hill (not too steep).

A beautiful, masmarising palazzo. The 4/5 are due to visits enabled only with a tourguide and tickets must be booked weeks prior. The info given on the tour was interesting and thorough, with that said, it was laconic and a bit too short (1 h) and very strictly timed in order to avoid laps with other groups.. therfore no time was given to immerse in the scenery of each spot, it was stop-losten-go to next stop sort of tour... the experience could have been more powerful and worthwhile with more time and a more interactive, mindful tourguide.

Visually stimulating place in a beautiful locale, with bizarre, fantastical architecture. Be warned though; Unless you want to walk up a long, narrow country road up hill in the sun, you are intirely at the mercy of a bus service that stops about 3 times a day and not at any time that aligners with the castle's admission hours. There is also nowhere to wait once you are up there. Again, the actual place is very interesting but, unless you have a car, you NEED to plan in advance or risk bring stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Found it while browsing places to visit in the area. We arrived there without reservation, but the lady at the ticket shop squeezed us into a tour with only 15min waiting time - thanks for that!
The castle itself is very picturesc, with sometimes unbelievable amounts of details to discover.
We enjoyed the stay a lot!

Stunning and unusual castle, 1h train ride from Bologna. The guided tour was in Italian, but the guide was very helpful and answered all the questions we had. It was my second visit and I'm looking forward to coming back in 2026 when the rest of the castle will be open for public.
