City Walls of Ferrara
Nine kilometers of Renaissance-era walls encircle the old city, now converted into a free tree-lined walking and cycling path. A perfect budget way to see the city from above.
Palazzo dei Diamanti
Named for its facade of 8,500 diamond-shaped marble blocks, this Renaissance palace hosts a respected art gallery. Temporary exhibitions rotate, and the exterior alone is worth the detour.
