Mantova: Private Walking Tour – Lombardy, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

After gathering in front of the entrance of the Captain’s Palace in Piazza Sordello, your private Mantua sightseeing tour will kick off. This little-known city is a breathtaking jewel that boasts magnificent buildings.

It is also home to splendid squares and charming alleys lined with arcades and graceful houses. Mantua is small but spectacular and is surrounded by a beautiful natural environment where art, nature, cultural heritage, excellent food, and a good overall lifestyle make life sweeter.

You will see St. George’s Castle, built by Francesco Gonzaga between 1395 and 1406, which became one of the most important examples of the Italian Renaissance when Andrea Mantegna painted the famous Camera degli Sposi.

Your guide will then take you to visit Piazza Sordello, the main and most ancient nucleus of Mantua.

This is where the town was born, and this square still represents the most important place in town, with its Duomo di Mantiva cathedral, Palazzo Ducale, and the other palaces which date back to the Middle Ages.

Among the other attractions, you will also see Piazza delle Erbe, which has been the main market in town since the Middle Ages.
