We’ll unlock grand castle gates at the Estense Castle, discover why everyone in town talks about the “Diamond Palace” (spoiler: no jewel heist involved), and follow streets lined with legends of powerful families and playful artists. Oh, and get this-by the end, you’ll know exactly what makes Ferrara’s pizza-shaped city plan so famous.
Here’s how we roll: - As you get close to a landmark, I’ll start chatting. If I get stage fright and don’t pop up on my own, just tap play! - Lost? The app’s map is your trusty compass. - Got questions or burning curiosity? Drop a note in the chat below each stop. - Heads-up: When we visit churches or places with religious themes, hats off, shoulders covered, and longer shorts or skirts are the way to go. No need to dig out your ballgown unless you really want the royal treatment! - Ferrara is flat and friendly, but watch out for lots of cyclists-locals take pedaling very seriously. Bring some water, slap on sunscreen in sunny weather, and wear comfy shoes because there’s a lot to see!
If you haven’t already, make your way over to our first stop: the mighty Estense Castle. Ferrara is ready for you-and so am I! Let’s start our adventure.
