What To Expect

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.
