WiMu Museo del Vino is a unique museum located in a medieval castle that offers interactive exhibits exploring the culture and tradition of wine. Situated in the quiet yet prosperous region of Piedmont, it provides an immersive experience for wine enthusiasts. Visitors can expect visually appealing and colorful displays, with educational material presented in a fresh and engaging manner. The museum's unconventional approach to its exhibits adds to its charm, offering a fun way to learn about wine history and facts.
What a fun museum to learn about wine history and facts. Really fun way the museum integrates each room into parts of the story. We also did the wine game which kept the kids going.
Overall worth the stop.
Maala Gadhia — Google review
This is one of the worst museums that I have visited in Europe. Mostly it is full of nonsense rooms that are meant to be art. But they advertise this as a wine museum, not an art museum. There is an interesting story to tell about the history of the Barolo wine, but this museum doesn't even attempt to tell it. They really failed hard here. They should remove everything and hire a historian to oversee the creation of an actual wine museum.
The tower in Barbaresco had an Andy Warhol exhibition while we were there. It was much cooler and more interesting than this even though it is only a small tower.
The Barolo wine is amazing though.

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

Museums are not usually what I like best about traveling, but I loved visiting this museum. I found it visually appealing and colorful. Perfect view from the top outside. The subject matter, wine, is fun for me, and I thought it was presented well, including educational material that was fresh to me.

This place is weird, in a mostly good way. I expected something much more traditional, the exhibits are a little kooky, bus till fun. View from the upper terrace is worth the price of admission and there is a nice tasting room in the cellar.

This is NOT a museum about wine. It's a random collection of arty farty nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with wine. For example one of the rooms is filled with metronomes fitted with angel wings hanging from the ceiling (see photo). The most interesting rooms are the ones that are not part of the museum, where you can sometimes get a glimpse of how the castle used to look before it was destroyed by the museum.
Willem Van den Bosch — Google review
Silly museum more about puppets than wine. Castle was cool with nice views. The mirror art rooms were the coolest. Wouldn’t bother going unless you need to kill time. 10-20 euro a person, too much for what it was.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk ...
but it could be so much better. 4 years after the storm that had destroyed it in several places and still to be finished 👏. Total absence of benches along the way 😢 I don't find it very hospitable. The worst thing is the lack of distinction between the pedestrian and the cycling path ... leaving the latter free to run anywhere without respecting pedestrians. Very dangerous. The landscape pays off but as usual ... unfinished !!! 🤬

Una bellissima passeggiata...
ma potrebbe essere molto meglio. A 4 anni dalla mareggiata che l'aveva distrutta in più punti e ancora da finire 👏. Totale assenza di panchine durante il percorso 😢 non lo trovo molto ospitale. La cosa peggiore è la mancanza di distinzione fra il percorso pedonale e quello ciclistico... Lasciando libertà a questi ultimi di correre ovunque senza rispettare i pedoni. Molto pericoloso. Il paesaggio ripaga ma come al solito... incompiuta!!! 🤬

(Translated by Google) The walk deserves 5 stars. It's a really nice place to walk, beautiful beaches and fantastic view.. But to be honest, something could be improved. Along the way there are very few benches, and being the walk itself quite long and without much shade, this could be a problem. There is also no bicycle lane, which can lead to collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.
(Original)
La passeggiata merita 5 stelle. È un posto davvero piacevole per passeggiare, spiagge stupende e vista fantastica.. Però, ad essere sinceri, qualcosa si potrebbe ottimizzare. Durante il percorso ci sono davvero poche panchine, ed essendo la passeggiata in se abbastanza lunga e senza molta ombra, ciò potrebbe essere un problema. Inoltre non esiste un pista per biciclette, il ché può provocare scontri tra ciclisti e pedoni.

Superb outlet with a large choice of luxury stores (gucci, prada, burberry, michael kors, etc.). The prices are very affordable compared to their initial prices, you can find what you are looking for! To eat there are a lot of fast food (macdo, burger king) and also a few restaurants. To go there from Milan, I recommend taking the shuttle on Get your guide for 20 euros round trip per person, the drive takes about 1h30!

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

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

- comparing it with other outlets it’s smallest little bit
- worth to visit if you in Rome
-by taxi around 35 to 50 Euro

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

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

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

Definitely a must if you care -at least a bit- on fashion. Don't expect to find everything here nor the best prices (check this offer), but the site is very well designed. Few restaurants and bars too.

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

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

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

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

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

Both shops have professional, kind consultants, ready to help and counsel.

The Aquarium of Genoa is the largest aquarium in Europe and features around 12,000 different species of fish and marine mammals. It's also home to six million litres (1.6m gallons) of water, making it one of the biggest aquariums in the world. The size of some of the tanks is impressive, especially for creatures like dolphins and sharks. Kids will love exploring all the exhibits, from manatees to coral reefs.
Book an early entrance (by 10am) so that there are fewer people so you can enjoy and see exhibits more easily. Price paid is fair. Lots to see. Don't miss the jellyfish and vivarium section. You need to cross to another side. Easily missed as you might think you're done.

Excellent aquarium. The layout and flow offer you different perspectives of the sharks, dolphins and seals at different points. The various world regions and animals are thorough. The location is easy and beautiful. A fun 2-3 hours. Buy tickets online through their official website and be careful of discounted sites.

I visited Genoa on a cruise and went to the aquarium. It was so amazing!!!! I love animals so much and they had some cool and really cute animals. I would highly recommend going here if you ever visit Genoa. Going earlier is definitely better before field trips.
Andrew Hicks — Google review
A very nice aquarium with a variety of fish and aquatic animals. It’s worthwhile visiting and you could easily spend a couple of hours if not half a day. If you are with kids, you should plan on spending half a day here as there are plenty to see and will keep the kids interested. The exotic fish and marine life is well kept although one can always argue if the environment they are kept in is truly fair, especially for the marine mammals such as the dolphins and larger fish such as the sharks. The penguins are an added attraction here. You could take a break at the cafe inside the aquarium and spend some time taking in the views from the deck, with the views of the port.

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

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

Make sure to buy your ticket before you go, queues out the front can be ridiculously long, and exhibits are crazily busy, especially in school holidays. Amazing array of creatures and sea life, although was wary that some enclosures felt insufficiently deep or wide. Gift shop #sucked.

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

(Translated by Google) [Italian] Our family (2 adults + 1 child) used Mr Rossano's agency to organize transport from Pisa airport to the seaside hotel. He was very kind, the communication was perfect, the prices were more than reasonable.
His agency handled our unforeseen events with infinite courtesy (plane delayed for hours, child with carsickness).
Perfect cars, always arrived on time, with the correct size seat.
We will certainly use it again.

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

Tours of a privately owned castle with historic rooms & artifacts, also a venue for private events.
The location is timeless and absolutely gorgeous! The food was really really good with a great service! Absolutely delighted by the fabulous lunch that we had!
Nicolas de Sénépart — Google review
This could be a fantastic experience if only the (still living) descendants weren't so selfish and exclusive. For instance: you can't take photos inside the castle; wonder why? me too! Also, the rooms and most of the castle isn't true to its origin: it's rebuilt, not restored. Not recommended.
Vittorio Robecchi — Google review
This hotel is very nice and worked well for us since we were traveling on a motorcycle.
It rained for the few days we stayed so having the restaurant and lounge on site meant we didn't get wet trying to find a meal or a drink.
You can tour the old castle but you will need to book in advance if you need an English guide.
Tour packages start at 14 euro person and 35 euro for the English guide that lasts an hour and a half then the tours go up in price and substance after that.
If there is one thing I did find quite disappointing was for the price we paid to stay the breakfast was very limited and plain.
So if you want quaint and romantic this place is nice.
If you're on a budget but are thinking of spending some extra cash to stay here I would say search around the area then come sightseeing.

The Sentiero Monterosso-Vernazza is a picturesque hiking trail that connects the scenic Cinque Terre with breathtaking ocean views and lush landscapes. The next stop on this trail is an easily accessible lookout point, situated on a small cliff overlooking Vernazza beach. This spot can be reached via the head trail of Vernazza's Sentiero Azzurro, which runs south of the town and past an old watchtower.
Incredible but very difficult even if you are considerably fit. It took me around 2 hours with multiple breaks along the way and I wasn’t even very prepared.
Choose the right timing, I hiked up at 2PM in July so it was technically a suicide attempt.
The views are insane and far better than expected.
Akram Salem — Google review
A path with very nice views but physically demanding. Many and very steep stairs and sometimes slippery. I would recommend this sentiero only to people that are used to challenging walks and wear good shoes. It‘ quite exposed to sun, so you might want to take enough to drink with you. Path gets quite crowded from april on!
Martina Guguseli — Google review
The Monterosso Vernazza Panoramic Trail offers breathtaking views of the Italian coastline, but unfortunately, it falls short in several aspects. While the trail presents natural beauty, there are some significant issues that need to be addressed for a safer and more enjoyable experience.
One of the main concerns is the poor maintenance of the trail. The lack of upkeep is evident, with sections of the path showing signs of neglect. Overgrown vegetation and uneven surfaces can make the trek challenging and potentially hazardous for visitors. A more consistent and attentive maintenance plan should be implemented to ensure the safety of hikers.
Furthermore, access to the trail is allowed without proper checks for appropriate equipment. It is crucial to enforce regulations and recommend suitable gear, such as hiking boots and water supplies, to all visitors. By doing so, the authorities can promote a culture of safety and preparedness among hikers.
Another issue lies in the presence of unprotected dangerous spots along the trail. These areas should be identified and appropriately secured with barriers or guardrails to prevent accidents. Safety measures like these are crucial, especially considering the narrow width of the path. At times, hikers need to pause to allow others to pass by, leading to unnecessary delays and congestion. Implementing a one-way alternating system could effectively alleviate these waiting times and enhance the flow of foot traffic.
The pricing of the trail is also a point of contention. Given the current cost, the expectations for maintenance and safety precautions are high. Visitors rightly demand impeccable maintenance and adequate protection for dangerous areas when paying a premium. Alternatively, some argue that the trail should be free of charge, as this would encourage more people to experience its beauty without financial barriers.
Additionally, the signage along the trail is insufficient and often unclear. Clear and comprehensive signposting is essential for visitors to navigate the path with ease and confidence. By improving the signage, hikers can enjoy a more seamless experience and avoid potential detours or confusion.
In conclusion, while the Monterosso Vernazza Panoramic Trail offers stunning views, it is marred by various shortcomings. The trail suffers from poor maintenance, lacks proper safety measures, experiences congestion, and falls short in terms of signage. It is imperative that the authorities address these issues promptly. By implementing a robust maintenance plan, enhancing safety measures, improving signage, and considering a one-way alternating system, the trail can provide a safer and more enjoyable experience for all visitors.

This trail connects the villages of Monterosso al Mare and Vernazza. It is approximately 3.5 km long and the hike is considered moderately challenging due to its steep sections and uneven terrain. It typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to complete, depending on your pace and the number of stops you make along the way.
The view of Vernazza from this trail is one of the highlights of the hike. As you approach Vernazza from the trail, you will be treated to an incredible panoramic view of the village nestled along the coastline.
Vernazza is known for its colorful houses that cascade down the hillside toward the sea. The buildings are painted in pastel shades of yellow, pink, and orange, creating a picturesque scene against the backdrop of the sea.
The village's charming harbor is framed by the small natural bay and a breakwater. You'll see fishing boats docked in the harbor, adding to the village's coastal charm. The vibrant blue of the Mediterranean Sea contrasts beautifully with the colorful village and the green hillsides. The sea's clear, azure waters make the view even more striking.
The view of Vernazza includes the historic Doria Castle, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the village and the sea. The Church of Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, with its distinct bell tower, is another landmark visible from the trail. Surrounding Vernazza are terraced hillsides with vineyards and olive groves.
Y. T. Nixon Tan — Google review
Very crowded in off-season, it costs 7.5 euro/ person. It is a 3,5km km waiting line from Monterosso to Vernaza both ways. You get a nice view at the end but that you can get also if you go by train. Can't imagine how much worse it is in full season.
Bogdan Androne — Google review
They said it’s closed…it’s not. Beautiful hike. I recommend going from Monterosso to Vernazza. You get the staircases out of the way and enjoy a nice view on the way down to Vernazza. 1.5 hours total and we went slow. Bring water.
Brazos — Google review
A very picturesque path, along gardens with crops, vineyards, old gardens. Definitely less demanding than the route from Riomaggiore to Manarola, more flat sections but also has steep climbs, especially in the initial sections. walking time about 1.5 hours. a lot of stairs to overcome, the entrance from the Vernazza side seems easier but still requires good shoes and a bit of good shape. the route is paid, in my opinion it is worth spending the money, but if someone counts on a walk by the sea and still spectacular views - they will be disappointed. I was captivated by the picturesqueness of the route, vineyards, trees, orchards and the remains of old terraces where the inhabitants cultivated plants. But it is definitely not a walk by the sea
AniaZ — Google review
A great hike - even with a toddler. We have a ~1 year old who came on the hike with us in a carrier (back/front reversible), not a shoulder backpack carrier. Suggest a back-carry rather than a front carry.
We caught the train from Riomaggiore to Monterosso and then started our hike which took us about 1hr 45 min - noting we were reasonably quick even with the baby. Suggest this could take 2+ hrs for others.
The trail is narrow at some points which required waiting as was too dangerous to go 2 at a time with the baby.
Despite this people were very accommodating to allow us to pass on the inside.
Overall a great hike with some lovely views.

The path has steeper parts as you start climbing, but then it is more accessible. Can be done on rainy weather as well. Around 1.5 hours from train station to train station, but with stops for photos it will be more. Extremely beautiful!

Highly recommend this hike trail! We did it with our two girls ages 5 & 6. The views were awesome! I can see experienced hikers taking over an hour to complete but with two little people it took us almost 2.5 hrs. Recommend to pack plenty of water, good shoes (we used our running shoes), snacks and charged phone for pics. Happy hiking!
JustinMonica Blanco — Google review
This hike offers the best views of vernazza as you leave the town, and some wonderful ocean vistas but be warned this hike is very steep going up and is also very steep on the other end approaching Monterosso. There is ample sun and it with its difficulty, you will need to bring water and wear shoes for hiking. The cinque terre hiking card is also checked at the trail and is needed (7.50 for a day pass of hiking, get it at the vernazza train station). There is some maintenance that needs to be done so some areas are a bit treacherous. Very busy trail with traffic going both ways so be ready for that. Decently fit folk can complete this section in under 90min with some photo stops.
Brett Higgins — Google review
Would much recommend the walk from Monterosso to Vernazza rather than the other way around. Reason is that on the trail; the scenic beauty of Vernazza is captured from the vantage point of the trail. And Monterosso is difficult to see from the trail as it is blocked by the hills, or by the time you near Monterosso you are already too low.
Recommend starting your day early to catch the sunrise. Just remember to pay the trail fee!
Trail difficulty is not that hard. Alot of up-hill.
Wear proper shoes and bring water.
Nathaniel Teo — Google review
My friends and I did this trail back in the beginning of March 2023. we had perfect weather, sunny, not hot, not cold. The first part of the trail (starting from Monterosso) was quite a climb and it could get very narrow and difficult. The other half was much easier. We weren‘t really prepared for this type of hike, but I would suggest simply comfortable sneakers, plenty of water and maybe a sandwich with you. The views are truly breathtaking. As girls who aren‘t use to this type of activities it was doable and we had a great time.
Also even though it was sunny, you aren‘t going to be in the sun the whole time. You‘re passing through woods, so it can get very fresh as well. The path was evidently clean in our case and not too many tourists at the time.
From what I know this path is actually not free to explore, but the day we went it was „off season“ so it was free. Amazing experience.

Great hike between Monterosso to Vernazza, the views are great throughout the whole hiking trail and it seems to be quite popular of a hiking path as you will meet many people along the way. The view of Monterosso is amazing, also when you get closer to Vernazza as it opens into the beach bay and you can get a great picture with the colourful buildings in the cove.
We met a very cute Samoyed dog ready to go on a little hike along the way too!
Adrian Chang — Google review
This is a pretty nice trail, if you are a bit trained it's pretty ok. There are several factors to keep in mind though, the heat from spring to autumn,is pretty steep while some paths are very narrow, maybe too narrow considering traffic in 2 directions which blocks you in case of larger groups. Indications are kind of ok but could be better. Also keep in mind you already need to walk up a bit before you start the real trail, so it's longer then you may think. I do agree with some of the comments that since they ask money, one could expect better maintenance, higher safety measures and indicate even more about making sure people are well equipped before they start since it's not easy to get help in case you would require. You may find 1 or 2 people selling some lemon drinks on the way but you better make sure you are least have a big bottle per person with you on the trip, especially for the very warm days and make sure you have sun protection as well, enjoy. A nice and well deserved swim will await you!
Vince L — Google review
Amazing hike! Make sure you bring plenty of water and you MUST wear closed-toe-shoes. Also, they will check your ticket before letting you go through.
The views are incredible and you'll be able to see both parts of Monterroso for a while as you ascend. Then, you'll start descending and see Vernazza. Stunning village!
It's only shaded like 5% of the time, even in the afternoon so be prepared to sweat bullets.
Mason Y — Google review
This is an amazing experience for all of those visiting the Cinque Terre that can do it. I highly recommend this trail at least once. It offers great views, and while it is challenging, it is well worth it in the end. On the trail, it is important to take your time, as some steps and parts of the trail are more dangerous, but if you pay attention, there will be no problem. Overall, it took about 2 hours to reach Monterosso from Vernazza, with small breaks along the way and going at a good pace.
Will Carter — Google review
The hike has amazing views. In the summer try to catch train from north/west that arrives at 7:30am at Monterosso so you can do most of your hike in the shade. Steps up are similar, in my opinion, from Monterosso vs from Verazza. Either way, having good grip sole shoes is helpful though not necessary in the dry season. Many people wore regular sneakers and did fine. 1.5hr is about average for the amount of time to hike through 1 way, though if you don't stop for photos or rest, you can easily do it in under an hour. But if you've come all the way to visit, why rush it. Caveat, the towns get very crowded as the day goes on. We arrived Monterosso with empty beaches and by late morning it was crowded beyond belief.

Vernazza is a village located on the rugged Ligurian coast of northwest Italy, and it forms one of the Cinque Terre. The settlement's small marina is surrounded by colorful houses, and it has a church with an elegant cupola-topped bell tower. Doria Castle, a medieval defensive structure with a cylindrical tower, clings to the rocks overlooking the ocean. Just below this castle lies Belforte bastion.
Porto Venere is a picturesque village located on the Ligurian coast of northwestern Italy. The area is home to the Porto Venere Regional Natural Park, which offers hiking trails and diving opportunities. Palmaria Island, within the park, features beautiful beaches and caves to explore. Visitors can also admire the Gothic-style Church of St. Peter perched on a rocky headland and the ancient Castello Doria fortress with stunning views of the Gulf of Poets.

While visiting Pisa we took the train to Livorno for the afternoon. A bus from the station brought us to the Terrazza Mascagni. It is a lovely walk along chequered tiles surrounded by a waist high wall, which gave beautiful views over the Ligurian sea. There are benches where you can sit and rest / enjoy the views. While there was a cafe nearby the restaurants were all closed by 2.30 / 3pm so make sure you eat before you visit. I would also recommend when buying bus tickets that you buy return tickets as well as it is difficult to find anywhere that sells them.

This area (contrary to other reviews) is NOT well maintained at all.
Haven’t been here for a few years, but it looks like material choice was wrong for the balustrades… appears that saltwater has soaked into the concrete and corroded the reinforcing bars - shattering many of the top stones.
Now looks a real mess… 🤦♂️
Give this a miss - just not worth the walk from town, unless using one of the private beach front facilities nearby.

The tower very nice, also the rest of the buildings in this plaza are very good and deserves more than five stars.

Plenty of police presence but lots of tent vendors and people chasing you trying to sell something. Though it didn’t feel sure pressured, it was just annoying.
Overall great place to visit and history of the place is interesting.

Great historical place. The tower looks spectacular and it’s history is amazing. Lots of market stalls and shops. Plus a variety of restaurants. As it is a quite touristy place you also expect higher prices. Still, some places provide very good ratio on price and quality. Parking facilities very close and easy to get to.

Highlight of the trip. Beautiful structures. Didn't know that there were two other beautiful structures in addition to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Wish I had enough time to explore all 3 structures. Definitely a must revisit location.

In this square, there's the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa. The way it's built is quite fascinating. Almost everyone who comes here wants to take a picture while pretending to hold up the leaning tower with their hands. It's a fun and popular thing to do!

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!

During my recent visit to Piazza del Duomo, I found the historical ambiance captivating. The iconic architecture and cultural richness made for a pleasant experience. However, the crowd density impacted the overall enjoyment, and some areas required maintenance. Overall, it's a must-visit for history enthusiasts, but be prepared for crowds.

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.

James Grant — Google review
Highly recommend seeing everything in the piazza. If you want good food, walk to the other side of the river. Buy tickets online in advance. No bags are allowed inside the tower.
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. Great views on a good day and interesting seeing the bells at the top of the tower. Hard to believe it's nearly 1000 years old
Andrew Vail — Google review
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.
Najada Ferhati — Google review
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 🙌

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.

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.
The cathedral of Parma is a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture and its cupola is covered in stunning frescoes by Correggio. The interior is flanked by two lions sculpted by Giambono da Bissono in 1281, a masterpiece that lovers of Italian art should not miss when visiting the city.
A sacred place, rich in history, art and curiosities. You can admire art of different historical periods: from the two famous lions at the entrance (by Bissone), to the beautiful carved door, to the bas-reliefs by Antelami, to the wonderful paintings by Correggio. Highly recommend this nice peace of history!

Holy moly, didn't expect to find something this cool inside a building that looks less impressive relative to other places in Italy. Some parts are not as restored, which is cool as it looks more genuine and real. It has many features like the 3D-look in the ceiling similar to the Vatican. It also has some parts that are leaning as the foundation must be degrading slowly, it's quite cool!

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.

Porta san Donato, Via delle Mura Urbane, 55100 Lucca LU, Italy
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 .

Very good amusement park with friendly staff. Clean. Well organized. Good options for food and drinks but you can bring your own. Third time we visited in 4 years, we were close by in Tuscany again. Booked tickets online for a lower price and this meant no waiting in line to get in

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.

Awesome theme park for kids and adults as well. At least 4h to try everything, so plan a whole day here, it's better and more relax way to enjoy this place.

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!

Amusement park in the pine tree forest. The place isn't big, but totally worth a visit for a family day out. Some nice attractions (the standing roller coaster is real fun). There is something for all ages.

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.

Very nice park for all ages. On first sight we thought we only need a few hours for it but in the end we stayed the full day and had a lot of fun.
Don't forget spare cloth if you would like to ride the water boats YOU WILL NEED IT 😂😅
We will come back again.

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). I recommend to take place in front of the cart as the view will be much better this way, compared to the inside of the cart.

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!

Via Armando Diaz, 22, 51016 Montecatini Terme PT, Italy
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.
The Palazzo dei Priori is a medieval civic building with a bell tower in Valdelsa Volterrana, Tuscany. It houses art and a fresco inside. The building was originally the residence of the podesta (chief magistrate) and later of the Florentine priori and commissari.
Gorgeous looking area, whole of Volterra is amazing. Very pretty to walk around. Allow a few hours.
steve&alfie — Google review
There is an exhibit hallway up in the building, you can visit it on your way up to the top of the bell tower.
Great view from the top but be careful not to be up there when the bell rings.
If you have the Volterra city pass you can visit the town hall, the art museum, the Roman theater, and the Acropoli Etrusca/Roman cistern up in the park with the same ticket.
Isaac R. — Google review
The Piazza dei Priori and the palazzo is really worth a visit.
We went early in the morning and had a good time with the whole family. Not to forget the nice arts marekt on the piazza dei priori where the kids could do a workshop with alabaster stone.

Beautiful old building located in an equally beautiful square. From the bell tower you can enjoy a splendid view. Entrance ticket too expensive.

Oldest building in Tuscany. 10€ per person. If you get 15€ for multiple places (guess 7-8) like roman theatre, Etrusc museum, acropolis, etc. it may be cheaper. Thus we choose the 15€ option

Spent about 90 minutes here last weekend and were blown away by the history and yet, the current use of the palazzo.

Beautifull townhall, if you are lucky and there is no ceremony, you cab have a look inside. Upstairs you need to pay 3 euros to climb the tower, the view is nice.
The Museo Ferrari is a museum that celebrates the Ferrari sports car marque and the Italian motor racing industry. The collection comprises cars, trophies, photographs and other historical artifacts related to racing and technological innovations that have influenced road cars. Located close to the Ferrari factory in Maranello near Modena, Italy, this museum opened in 1990. The exhibitions offer an interactive experience with a focus on the history of Ferrari and its contribution to motorsport engineering.
What a great museum tour. I wish the flow worked a little better but it was overall incredible. The trophies and f1 cars were the best part. They need to add the current reg car to their display. Possibly even lining up a car from each decade so folks can understand the size and weight differences from over the years. Overall great place to see.
Tyler Rivera — Google review
A fascinating museum containing the Ferrari road and track cars.
The number of cars on display is not large and is clearly in favor of relatively new cars.
Impressive display of F1 cars.
Getting around the museum is very easy.
The museum shop is very expensive.
Near the museum are a number of other businesses related to the field such as renting Ferrari and other cars, and souvenir parking.
A must for car enthusiasts but not only.
Roei ben moshe — Google review
Definitely get tickets in advance (smart decision on my part) because there is quite a line to enter for those who did not get tickets online. Also, parking was pretty difficult to find, I guess this is a pretty sought out museum. But the museum only lets in a specific amount of people at a time, so it isn’t crowded inside. Overall, great experience to see the legendary Ferraris and some F1 stuff as well.

This is our second visit to the museum and we enjoyed it very much after a 10 hours drive from Germany.
It is an amazing museum that welcomes you to the history of Ferrari. From concept cars to race cars, old models to new models it pulls you into the Ferrari dream.
Our 7 year old daughter enjoyed it very much as well. Her personal favorite room is the part where you can see the championship cars and the awards.

Would give 5 stars if my very palpable need to touch the cars had been fulfilled. But alas.. The very observant guards are probably there for a reason.
This is without a doubt the finest collection of Ferraris in the world.
Ulla Sparre — Google review
The museum was well laid out we came as part of a tour package. The progression of Ferrari products through history is well presented you have some of the original older vehicles along with today's cutting edge products. There is also a driving simulator which look like fun but I didn't do it most of the simulators had been occupied by the younger group. This is not inside a major city like Florence or downtown Bologna but if you can make the trip here I believe it's worth it.
Bruce Ferjulian — Google review
This place is pretty awesome, I just wanted more. Ferrari has a long and impressive history, and although there's another museum not far away from this one, they could improve on the historical content.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the two gentlemen running the simulators. Patient and attentive even though they were getting absolutely bombarded with questions and requests. I had a great experience.
dante giuliano — Google review
We had a corporate event here that was absolutely incredible. They had some team building events that included a pit stop changing of a tire and then racing in F1 simms.
They then led us to an area with tables surrounded by race cars and fed us an amazing dinner.
The staff was knowledgeable on everything Ferrari and I know they all bleed Ferrari red. They're VERY protective of everything and keep a close eye on you while you wander through years of history.
Be sure to book ahead and take the bus tour through the facility. You might even catch a glimpse of a test car that they'll be quick to hide. .................................😊

As a big Ferrari fan I was expecting a lot more. Even the Alfa Remeo museum was a better experience to be honest. The cars were very cool, don’t get me wrong. But that’s about it. No cool exhibits, no cool sound design. Could have been so much more. Honestly not even really worth the trip from Modena.
Cal Wash — Google review
Having visited the Porsche, BMW and Mercedes museums in Germany, I must say I felt a little underwhelmed by the Ferrari Museum. While the museums in Germany will take you at least 3 hours to complete, the Ferrari museum will take you an hour at most. The displays are curated over 3 floors with each floor displaying no more than 10 displays. However, I must say Ferrari emphasizes more on the history and the legacy aspect of their heritage. Overall, still a worthwhile visit, just make this your first stop before visiting the rest of the German museums. I should add there is another Enzo Ferrari museum at central Modena which showcases more historic race cars.
Alex Chong — Google review
The Ferrari Museum is definitely worth a visit. There is a shuttle that runs between Maranello and Modena, check the museum website for the timings of the shuttle in case you plan to visit both the museums.
There is a simulator at the end of the museum visit where you can experience being on the track. I had a great time here!
P.S The museum staff are super friendly and helpful, they even help us get a cab. The washrooms are super clean and the cafe is pretty decent too.
Karthik Hariharan — Google review
While it might fall short of high expectations, visiting the Ferrari Museum is still worthwhile if you're in the vicinity. It's a unique experience, given the rarity of Ferrari-themed attractions. However, be prepared for the premium pricing associated with all things Ferrari. A visit typically lasts about an hour, which is ample to take in the sights without expecting an extensive experience.
aykut öztürk — Google review
Nice museum to spend an hour or so. The prices for kids are discounted (up to 17 years if I am not wrong). Outside the museum there is an option to drive a Ferrari for 110 EUR (not a part of museum), inside the museum there is a Ferrari F1 simulator (Price 25 eur for 7 min ride). Great for kids that loves racing games.
Boris Susmak — Google review
Bought tickets in advance, did not have to wait. The Museum is very modern and clean, the exhibition is well groomed and the lighting is extraordinary. You can see the Legendary F40 and F50 also. In my personal opinion, the Enzo Museum in the City is a better experience. Downside: beside the high price of the entry ticket the parking is NOT FREE! (1 euro/hour - it is not heartbreaking, but morally bad). Also, if you want to get some extra (F1 simulator, souvenirs prepare to dig very deep in your pockets…)
Frigy B?lint — Google review
There’s not many times I’m left speechless but this place needs no introduction and all I can say is… IT IS A FERRARI!!! It’s a must visit place!!! Free parking around the museum grounds. Secure. Little shops and restaurants who don’t overcharge you for drinks and food. Absolutely LOVED IT!!!

Great display for a full Ferrari experience. Takes you to the world of red! The ticket for seniors above 70 yrs cost 4 Euros less. Ask for it otherwise it can be easily missed. Enough parking for nearby.
Anand Venkatramani — Google review
Overall positive and glad I came - but with some mixed feelings. The first thing that grabs you is how sterile the road car displays are. The F1 display, on the other hand, is great!
The museum is geared towards mass tourism rather than people who are interested in more developmental and historical stories about the people, engineers, drivers etc. I understand the commercially-driven aspects but the mystique fades a little.
If you visit the Enzo Ferrari Museum in addition to this, then the overall experience is 5 stars 😉

Great experience, recommended to everyone who is passionate with Ferrari and also to whom is not. Guides are extremely knowledgeable and can speak multiple languages. The environment is perfectly clean and safe, under continuous security control. Hosts an incredible exposition of historic Ferrari. Shop at the end of the tour as expected.
Francesca — Google review
The experience of seeing all Ferrari super cars and F1 cars is just wonderful. We visited in a weekday and it was not crowded. It is absolutely perfect for adults and kids alike. You get a thorough walk through of the Ferrari history and can see all Ferrari F1 champions in the hall of fame. The museum experience was magnificent. A close look at Ferrari F1 car was amazing.
I wouldn’t recommend the factory and race track bus tour though. In my honest opinion, It was a simple waste of money and 45 minutes of time. They(Ferrari guides) won’t let you out of the bus. They provide the facts of each factory segment pointing at the buildings, which everyone can easily get it from internet. There is nothing exceptional to mention in the whole tour experience. So, my advice is to avoid this if you are in time crunch or have some other immediate plans for the day.
Jithu Mohandas — Google review
Very nice atmosphere if you’re a Ferrari and F1 fan. You can see almost all models and history.
Tickets are quite expensive, especially for kids. Would be much better to have more “free” live-experience areas to interact with. And after a long drive and ticket cost, it is little bit disappointing that the shop does not offer cheaper price or any promo campaign.

As you walk through the Ferrari museum, you are transported into a world of speed, elegance, and innovation. The sleek design of each Ferrari supercar tells a story of engineering excellence and a passion for performance. For car enthusiasts, it's like stepping into a dream come true.
The hall of fame proudly displays the legendary Ferrari F1 champions, showcasing the drivers who have made history on the racetrack. It's a tribute to the skill, dedication, and determination that define the Ferrari racing legacy.
Whether you're an adult who appreciates the craftsmanship and technology behind these incredible machines or a child who is captivated by the sheer excitement of it all, the Ferrari museum offers something for everyone. And when you come face to face with a Ferrari F1 car up close, you can't help but marvel at the precision, power, and artistry that goes into every detail.
Visiting the Ferrari museum is not just about seeing cars; it's about experiencing a piece of automotive history and feeling the thrill of the race. It's a place where the past, present, and future of Ferrari come together in a celebration of speed, style, and passion.
Connor Lundborg — Google review
This was a dream come true for me. You can pay for tickets for this museum or as a package to also visit the Enzo Ferrari museum. The museum tells the story of the beginning of Ferrari and how they have been so successful in racing and providing customization to cars. You can take a picture inside a Ferrari towards the end of the museum for 15 Euros. You can also drive the simulator which seemed pretty cool. The merchandise store was really good and reasonably priced. The only thing you have to consider is parking. There’s limited parking in front of the museum. If those are full then you have to try to find parking along the streets around the area.
Gabriel Galarza — Google review
This museum is recommended for the fans and not only: it's a beautiful experience. The hall of Ferrari victories evokes strong emotions, seeing all the bollides that brought championships and glory to the Scuderia. It's also nice and easy to follow the history, and the 1950s part is especially emotional. Absolutely worth a visit.

Duomo di Modena is a cathedral in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It is renowned for its striking Romanesque architecture, including a bell tower and rose window. The cathedral is also renowned for its elaborate bas-relief carvings, some of which are still in place.
Magnificent example of Romanesque architecture, a milestone in the history of architecture, it must be the starting point for any visit to the city of Modena. You can admire the creations of Wiligelmo, a suggestive 16th century nativity scene, the splendid Pala di S. Sebastiano by D. Dossi, wooden benches inlaid with instruments, the majestic column-bearing lions, the crypt, the presbytery area ... and more!

It is the central church in Modena. Very nicely done and a lively place. The entry to the Duomo is free but there is a tower beside where you can visit paying 2 Euros. I haven't been there but what I heard from friends is that place is worth a visit if you are okay to go up quite some stairs. You get a better view of Modena from the top.
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.

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.
