Ferrara

Stop: 3 hours - admission not included


Situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy lies the remarkable cultural landscape of Ferrara. The Este family governed here for three centuries and can be thanked for the city’s unique blend of medieval and Renaissance. Although Ferrara suffered damage during WWII, its historical core remains intact. Today, the center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its breathtaking beauty and its important place in Italy’s art and culture. The winding cobblestone streets and wide range of museums, art galleries, busy shops, and cafes make Ferrara a can’t-miss destination. One of the city’s most important monuments is Castello Estense. This moated castle, built in 1385, served as the stronghold and residence of the Este family. The many castle rooms, including dungeons and prison cells, are a sight to see. Another noteworthy sight is Ferrara’s Cathedral, built in 1135. This cathedral is a shining example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Wander the city sights while taking in all the splendor that is Ferrara.

Comacchio

Stop: 3 hours - admission not included


Likely predating the Roman Empire, this little village enjoyed centuries of prosperity thanks to its salt pans and strategic location. It became so successful in the salt trade that rival Venice sacked the city twice between 850 and 950 AD. They’re rated internationally important by the Ramsar Convention for the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands, and offer visitors guided tours to see the flamingo-filled wetlands, as well as their traditional eel fishing techniques. Walking through the picturesque heart of the city feels like you’ve been transported to a simpler time. Trepponti bridge, spanning canals, offers fantastic photo opportunities. History buffs can step into nearby Museo della Nave Romana to learn about an ancient Roman merchant vessel that was recovered in the lagoon. But for a truly unique experience, visit the La Manifattura dei Marinati museum to learn about Comacchio’s eel industry.
