Palazzo Ducale, Ferrara: Our most recommended tours and activities

Ferrara: City Highlights Walking Tour with Local Guide

Ferrara: City Highlights Walking Tour with Local Guide

Let's start from the Estense Castle, symbol of the city, from which we can admire Corso Ercole I d'Este, the road that connects the Castle to the north gate of the walls, crossing the Renaissance Addition commissioned from Ercole I d'Este and realized by the Ferrarese architect Biagio Rossetti. A dive into the beauty of Ferrara's Renaissance palaces and churches amidst the colors of the Unesco World Heritage city, you will arrive to the original Palazzo dei Diamanti in the heart of the Addizione Erculea, an urban expansion planned at the end of the 15th century. From the "historic crossroads" we continue towards the romantic Massari Park, characterized by the centuries-old cedars of Lebanon and the rich vegetation facing the University Botanical Garden. A few steps away, the nearby monumental complex of S.Cristoforo alla Certosa, transformed over time into a Monumental Cemetery, opens into the square in front, where the elegant arcades create a suggestive effect of recollection. Internal visit to the beautiful Renaissance church, an ancient temple of the Carthusian monks called to Ferrara by Duke Borso d'Este in the mid-15th century. The nearby historic Piazza Ariostea reminds us of the great poet with its statue towering over the central column and invites us, to end the visit, under the loggia that flanks the green area. It will be a journey through the beauty that arises from the harmonious and varied presence of monuments and views that never make it boring or obvious.

Venice in One Day: Guided Tour From Florence

Venice in One Day: Guided Tour From Florence

You will travel from Florence to Venice in a luxury coach and, once in the famed city, your full day exploration will begin. Following your tour leader into the heart of Venice, you will be amazed by the ornate detail of St. Mark’s Basilica standing tall in Piazza San Marco. After admiring the beauty of Piazza San Marco, make your way, at your own pace, to the Palazzo Ducale and see where Venice's powerful government once stood. As you discover the magic of Venice, it will be clear why it is loved by so many. Venice is built on water, so naturally, it is best viewed from a traditional Venetian boat, a gondola. As you float along the picturesque canals, you will be face to face with Venetian architecture and culture. A ride in a gondola (not included in price) is not to be missed. At the end of your day, meet your tour leader to head back to Florence.

Treasure Hunt 2.0 in Ferrara - A Devil of an Assistant

Treasure Hunt 2.0 in Ferrara - A Devil of an Assistant

Mysteries to be solved, treasures to be found, criminals to be framed... Smartphone in one hand, map in the other and immerse yourself in extraordinary adventures to discover the secrets and puzzles kept in the art cities and villages of Italy. No matter what he does, Engineer Chiozzi is always accompanied by his faithful servant Magrino, summoned long ago with a magic formula in order to be helped to achieve success. Now, however, he has realized that there is something demonic about the man and he wants to get rid of it--and, for that, he needs the #BPErs: will you be able to help him? This mission can be played from 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., every day except Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (starting at 1 p.m.). The mission starts at Trento and Trieste Square. The game map is taken at a bar during the experience. Since the café works independently of BelPaese Express, it may happen that it is also closed on different days and times than those listed on this page. Apologizing in advance in case of inconvenience, we remind you that in any case the map is also present in digital format within the game web-app. USEFUL TIPS. Use of the web is not necessary. Get inspired by the spaces around you, read the directions, ask passers-by for information: in short, use your wits! Besides, for each riddle you will have three aids (and possibly even the solution): make good use of them! To enjoy the mission to the fullest, we recommend playing when it is still light, since some of the clues/enigmas may be inconspicuous as night falls. Where: Ferrara Player limit? None Journey length: Approximately 2.5 km Duration of experience: Approximately 2 hours Time limit: None Start location: Trent and Trieste Square Game times: 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., every day except Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (starting at 1 p.m.) Available languages: ITA | ENG
