Diamond Palace (Palazzo dei Diamanti) Tours and Activities

If the delays and impersonality of group tours are not for you, immerse in the Renaissance beauty of Ferrara, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with a private guide. Traveling to and from Bologna by private transfer, admire key attractions from Palazzo Schifanoia to the cathedral, from Este Castle to Palazzo dei Diamanti.

Discover Ferrara by bike on a 3-hour tour led by a knowledgeable guide who shows you the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city’s highlights. Bike along Viale Cavour to important sites including the Castello Estense, Palazzo dei Diamanti and the Duomo (Ferrara Cathedral). Wheel down well-marked bike paths that run along the ancient city walls and stop to take in the majestic Piazza Trento Trieste. Learn about the urban planners of the Renaissance who created the Addizione Erculea, and more on this fun and informative bike tour.

The three centuries of the Este domination, when the court of Ferrara was among the most refined and cultured in Europe, without having canceled the medieval Romanesque Gothic grandeur, have left a profoundly humanistic imprint in the city among churches, castles, delights and palaces wonderfully frescoed. Not to mention the flowering of an elegant and refined gastronomy that continues to delight the palates and tables of Ferrara.
