The best times to visit are in spring and autumn. May, in particular, is a month of celebrations linked to the famous Palio of St George; in March and September there are prestigious exhibitions in the Palazzo Diamanti, a jewel of Ferrara's Renaissance; during the last week of August street musicians from around the world come together for the Ferrara Buskers Festival, filling the late summer evenings with music.
HOW
Most of the popular attractions in Ferrara are located in the the historic center, and at the heart of it there is Piazza Trento e Trieste, with the castle at one end and the cathedral forming one entire side.
To visit Ferrara, follow this route:
1. Castello Estense (Este Castle)
The Este Castle was, once, the home and palace of the powerful Este family.
2. Piazza Trento e Trieste and the Centro Storico
3. Cattedrale di San Giorgio (Cathedral of Saint George)
Its front moves from a Romanesque lower tier, built in the early 1100s, upward to a beautiful early Gothic loggia from the 1500s.
4. Palazzo dei Diamanti Art Galleries
The Palazzo dei Diamanti is hard to miss, with its entire exterior covered in more than 8,500 faceted marble blocks.
5. Via delle Volte
One of the most appealing things about Ferrara is the grace with which it moves between the medieval and Renaissance eras. To feel back in the Middle Ages, go in Via delle Volte.
6. Mura di Ferrara (City Walls)
End your trip visiting the walls that surround the historic center.
For you meal I suggest to go in Take Eat Easy and taste the “Pasticcio ferrarese di maccheroni”, which is pastry filled with ragout and mushrooms.
In our tour I’ll bring you in Via delle Volte, Piazza Trento Trieste where you can admire the Cathedral and the Castle, Piazza del Municipio, Palazzo dei diamanti. Then, I’ll give you some food suggestions, to end back visiting the Walls of Ferrara.
WHY
Ferrara is a splendid city of art, to be enjoyed by walking its streets, its character - this magnificent Renaissance capital - revealed on every corner. Through its glorious past, you can understand the roots of its present.The Este family governed here for three centuries and gave the city the appearance it has today: a uniquely planned city, harmoniously fusing Mediaeval and Renaissance, Europe's first modern city. It is precisely these characteristics that secured its UNESCO World Heritage status.It's a peaceful city to wander on foot or by bike, every step re-living the magical atmospheres of the past.

Questa notte, nella notte tra l'11 e il 12 gen. 2023, ero a ferrara, a pontelagoscuro. Ho voluto anticipare la mia competitor micol finzi contini. Voi non capite niente. Il fiume (il giusto, di cui vi mando filmato,) e' tutto dentro al mare al delta. Questo spiega i menu' di mare...c'e' una infinita differenza tra l'acqua dei fiumi che nei tempi andati e l'acqua del mare. Voi non siete neppure gente di mare. Il giusto ha un'unica direzione anche nel tempo ed e' la Vita. Il cuore del fiume e del giusto e' solo la Vita. Non vi piace? E allora dedicatevi come fanno a torino (3 fiumi) alla magia e all'esoterismo. Vi mando filmato di me a ponte lagoscuro. Poi vi mando filmato della micol che, recatasi a ferrara, ha voluto volgere una mano a sinistra (una sola mano) in una citta' di fiume come ferrara. E' andata indietro di 400 anni di botto: contro il fiume, contromano, contro il tempo del fiume. Grazie al mio riequilibrio a destra, vi ho ribaltato tutto il lido di venezia. Vi mando filmato del ribaltamento.
