- TonyCannLiverpool, UK186 contributionsTruly stunning, the ornate art work that adorns the walls of the church is stunning!
Set in a small piazza with a couple of cafes overlooking.
Highly recommend a visit.Written March 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Rebekah ILondon, UK23 contributionsThis was a bit of a bucket list place to visit, my partner and I both F1 lovers but never having visited a F1 circuit before. Staying in Milan we realised how close it was to Monza to booked the Experience Tour and Track Tour.
Getting there was easy enough from Milan, a short 10 min train journey then a 20 min bus - I had done a bit of research for where we needed to get off because the Google maps route did not look right at all. It was a bit of a walk, and there was no signage so it was a lot of guess work that finally got us to where we needed to be, we made sure we got there early though to allow for this so ended up fine.
The experience tour was pretty good and informative, it was great to see the VIP box, podium, press room, control centre and much more! We had plenty of opportunity to take pictures which was great.
The track tour was a bit of a let down, 7 people funnelled into a minibus and driven around the track, pretty fast I'll say too so we were done in 5 minutes. Because there were so many people in the bus you couldn't get a good view to take any pictures or anything which was a shame. Was still cool to go around the course though.
Overall good experience, worth the trip!Written January 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We did it as a detour on our way to Garda lake
To get into Theodolinda chapel you have to book a tour in advance.
It's easy. I asked the lady on the reception in the hotel we stayed in to call and book it for me. There is no internet booking. So, it was done in 5 minutes for the next day
They have guided tour in English as well. It certainly worth a visit. The Capella is inside the Monza's Cathedral, nicely restored.
The ceremony of the extraction of the Holy Roman Empire's crown is quite impressive.
Look, listen and memorise for you are not allowed to take pictures.
And as a bonus there is a really good bakery across the Piazza.Written July 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is typical of the north western part of Italy where it is usually called Broletto.Written December 17, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel19721972Leuven, Belgium806 contributionsIt is a big square with a car park underneight, the square has some ugly buildings to take the stairs down.
The statue on the square is nice but due to the hight, it takes away the view on the square.Written April 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This bridge forms part of a trail (Acqua river route) which you can go on and covers other bridges too. The route where you can start is Torretta Viscontea then walk for about 530m to Ponte dei Leoni / Ponte Romano d’Arena, walk 180m to Ponte di San Gerardino, walk 100m to Mulino Colombo before finally walking 470m to Ponte Nuovo. Total distance 1280m. There is other walks/trails you can go on as well, this is an amazing town with lots of hidden gems and it’s just a matter of going there and look out for them.Written December 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PaulBMaastricht, The Netherlands3,040 contributionsThe church of Santa Maria in Strada stands on an ancient convent of the Franciscan Friars called "of Penitence", which allowed it to be converted into an oratory in 1348.
The name of the church derives from the fact that the building was on the main road that led from Monza to Milan, called precisely the "Road" .
Attached to the church is a small cloister.
In then 14th century, the Franciscan friars built a new church on the site of an old ruined oratory, followed by the Franciscan monastery The church was enlarged and embellished in in the early 15th century with the addition of the choir, the sacristy and the bell tower.
The church was altered and restored several times during the following centuries until it has got its current appearance.
The brick façade is rich in geometric elements and decorations.
The bell tower, on the right looking at the façade, originally as high as the facade, is decorated with mullioned windows, hanging arches and spiers.
The interior of the church is divided into a large rectangular hall, the semi-octagonal choir and the presbytery. The secondary altars, on the sides of the Church, are decorated with frescoes,
The 18th century High Altar consists of marble, hard stones and bronzes.
Of particular value are the frescos of the presbytery and the choir.
Admission is free, although a (small) donation will always be appreciated.Written September 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
