What travelers are saying
- nw05250London, UK473 contributionsGo now. Stunning. Smaller and more intimate than the Palazzo Ducale making it easier to get everything in. But for the 3 groups of school children on a tour the rooms were basically empty making for comfortable viewing of the many great art pieces on offer.Written October 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- triptraveller340 contributionsTeatro Bibiena is an absolute gem !
A small theatre that is a hall with wooden boxes and a balcony with boxes-- considered one of the most significant European, architectural creations of its time (18th C.).

When getting a ticket, you also get your entry time (we had to wait 20 min). This was great as there weren't too many visitors inside at one time. If you're thinking about visiting Palazzo Ducale or Palazzo Te, I'd pick Palazzo Ducale. There's enough parking nearby and it's lovely to walk through the streets in the center of the town.Written August 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- adventuresincrazydadBurbank, CA54 contributionsWe went to Mantua as a somewhat spur of the moment detour. We very much liked it. The Camera is astounding. We'd seen pictures before in art books and it lived up to its billing. The whole Ducal palace was a revelation.Written September 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- WarbyBicester, UK3,756 contributionsI drove over the bridge early evening in Autumn. Amazing views with all the history in front of you.

- ilMatteItaly146 contributionsjust a walk in is enough to see the strange.

Also provided with an informative English language leaflet explaining the history of this fascinating palazzo. The tour provided a glimpse of life in mantua over the last 300 years through the lives and collections of a local aristocratic family . The collection is from the renaissance through to early 20th century. Outstanding and I would highly recommend.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Colin H6 contributionsAn excellent museum housed in a large historic building. Many exhibits that are well presented including models, helmets, helicopters and a huge range of historic fire appliances (some restored). We looked in on a Monday when closed but we’re welcomed by one of the enthusiastic volunteers (former fire fighter). A must for fire fighting enthusiasts but also of general interest.Written May 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Robin W. FoodCroatia471 contributionsPiazza delle Erbe is not just a place to enjoy a macchiato and admire architectural beauty but also a space for contemplating history. I recommend this square and the city as a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Italy.Written January 9, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VadimMurmansk, Russia35,030 contributionsSt. George's Castle was built quite quickly, in 11 years from 1395 to 1406. The architect of the castle was Bartolino da Novara. For a long time, the castle was part of the Duke Gonzaga's palace. The castle was built according to all the canons of that time - four towers, a moat. Like the entire palace, the castle became the residence of Isabella d'Este, wife of Francesco II Gonzaga. At her invitation, Leonardo da Vinci, Mantegna, Perugino, Baldassare Castiglione visited the walls of this castle. But I failed. Everything was closed at the time of the visit.Written April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Robin W. FoodCroatia471 contributionsI was sitting at a table on the stunning Piazza Sordello, sipping my first morning macchiato – it was excellent. At the neighboring table, there was a group of about ten Italian girls. They were carefree, cheerful, and all talking at once. I felt like I was at home. A wonderful start to the day in beautiful Mantua.Written January 6, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
