The experience

The Palazzo dei Diamanti anchors this self-guided experience, but the app itself is what sets the pace. You download it, pick your language from six options (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Italian, or German), and then move through Ferrara on your own terms: stopping to eat, doubling back, skipping a site if the line looks long. The app brings you curiosities about each place as you arrive, so you're not walking blind, but you're also not tethered to a group or a fixed schedule.

The route threads through the city's emblematic attractions: the Palazzo Municipale, the Palazzo dei Diamanti with its diamond-point facade, and the Jewish Quarter, where centuries of history sit compressed into narrow streets. Along the way, the app surfaces gastronomic recommendations, so you know where locals eat without having to hunt for it. The whole thing is built for families and solo travelers alike. If you're pushing a stroller, the route is wheelchair accessible. If you want to linger over a coffee and come back to the tour later, it's still there.

Because the tour never expires, you can return to it weeks after your visit, listening to the details again or filling in the stops you missed. The 24/7 availability means you can start at dawn or wander at dusk, whenever Ferrara feels right to you.
