A true journey through time
Ferrara is a beautiful city of art, capital of the Renaissance, where the past and present blend in a perfect way. The d’Este family, one of Europe’s longest-lived dynasties, ruled it for three centuries and gave it the appearance it still preserves today: a unique urban design that harmoniously blends the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and made it Europe’s first modern city. For this reason, it was recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage Site in 1995 for its historic centre and in 1999 it was awarded a second one for the Po Delta and its Este landmarks.
The tour includes a walk through the streets of the city along its Walls to the new city of Duke Ercole I d’Este, with the Palazzo dei Diamanti to reach the Castello Estense, symbol of Ferrara.

Accessibility
Outdoor tour The tourist experience can be enjoyed by people with walking disabilities because the tour is designed to avoid steps and barriers. For the elderly or those who have difficulty standing for a long time, the tour will be organised in such a way as to include breaks to rest. Accessible toilets will be indicated along the itinerary. It is possible to request the service of a LIS interpreter (rate to be agreed-upon according to availability). For people with visual impairments, the itinerary is interesting because it is organised to be as much of a tactile and sensory experience as possible.
