Customer Travel Tip: Simply enjoy the city with walking!
Liked: I simply like size of the city. It was small and quiet, with a large and well-preserved castle at the city centre.
Disliked: The transports are simply stupid, just like others in region of Emilia-Romagna. They never put a clear map on the bus stops. One will never have an idea on the general direction of where the written stops are.
