The Highlights of Mantua

Mantua (Mantova) is one of Italy’s most enchanting Renaissance cities—a UNESCO World Heritage site surrounded by lakes and steeped in the legacy of the Gonzaga dynasty.

With your expert English-speaking guide, explore the magnificent Palazzo Ducale, one of Europe’s largest palace complexes, and admire the sublime frescoes of the Camera degli Sposi by Mantegna. Continue to the playful elegance of Palazzo Te, Giulio Romano’s masterpiece, and stroll medieval squares and riverside promenades that feel unmistakably off the beaten path.

Mantua pairs beautifully with visits to Verona, Parma, Lake Garda, or Milan. We design private, made-to-measure itineraries with insider access—whether you have a few hours or a full day.
