Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Centro Storico Ferrara, Ferrara Italy
Submerged in the green Valley of the Po river, Ferrara has been declared a Unesco World Heritage due to its still intact old town!
Ferrara is a splendid city of art, ideal to be enjoyed walking through its streets and discovering its "Renaissance character", revealed on every corner. The famous Este family governed here for three centuries and gave the city the appearance it has today: a uniquely planned city, which harmoniously fuses the Mediaeval and Renaissance styles and that can represent Europe's first modern city.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Castello Estense, Largo Castello 1, 44121, Ferrara Italy
A stop at the Estense Castle is therefore mandatory: a fortress built to defend the Dukes from public revolts and that stands still surrounded by its moat at the centre of the city.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Ghetto Ebraico di Ferrara, 44100, Ferrara Italy
You’ll visit the Jewish District, a community embraced by the Este family, walk along Via delle Volte, an ancient cobbled medieval street teeming with porticoes and arches that will give you a glimpse of ancient times
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Corso Ercole I d"Este, Corso Ercole, Ferrara Italy
A walk across the famous Corso Ercole I d'Este, boulevard named after the Duke that commisioned the enlargement of the city during the Renaissence
Duration: 20 minutes
