Cortile del Castello Estense Concerts

After visiting some castels in smaller cities in north Italy, expected more to see here. Frescoes are ruined, and very few items on display - majority of the visit is based on reading stories about dukes from Ferrara, endong with contemporary art exhibition.

Beautifu big historic structure in the centre of town. Worth visiting with calm to enjoy all it has to offer, including an ascent in one of the towers (122 steps, no lift) to get a panoramic view all around.

Recommended to pre book the tickets to avoid queues. The castle is in good state and good views from the tower (2 euros more)

The castle is great from the outside and the inner courtyard is really nice. Great history behind it to understand the city but is not worth the ticket price for what you see inside. They also charge 2 additional euros to go up the Lion's gate, which by the way is only accessible if you get your ticket at 4.30. We arrived at 4.35 on a Monday when it was not busy at all and they would not ley us access the Lion's gate.

You can't miss Castello di Ferrara. Molto bella as they say in Italian. Ferrara is a gem, do not miss this city and make an effort to come!
