Itinerary

1. Centro Storico Ferrara
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: 180 mins
2. Castello Estense
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 mins
3. Ghetto Ebraico
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 mins
