About Ferrara

Ferrara is a flat Renaissance city in Emilia-Romagna, built around the moated Castello Estense and a UNESCO-listed historic center that mixes medieval alleys with wide 15th-century streets. Cycling is the default way to get around, and the brick ramparts encircling the old town double as a public park.
