Meet your local guide and start your tour in the Italian way: a strong espresso or a milder cappuccino paired with a freshly baked pastry at one of the most traditional coffee spots, possibily near Piazza Broletto or Piazza Erbe.
On the way, you will notice how Palazzo Ducale stands out as one of Italy’s biggest museum ensembles dating back to the late Middle Ages while the Basilica di S. Andrea (masterpiece of architect Leon Battista Alberti and painter Andrea Mantegna) perfectly celebrates the more sophisticated and elegant patterns that flourished in the 1500s at the Gonzagas’ court.
Explore the portici, Mantova’s ancient trade galleries, and wander through the many delis scattered all along: here and there you will savour the taste of Grana Padano PDO (better if paired with the local pears or with the pickled fruits called mostarda!) and the most traditional cured meats such as Salame Mantovano.
Conclude your experience with a nice glass of wine by Piazza delle Erbe: a vibrant square surrounded by colorful buildings, cafes and historic structures and a great place to soak in the local atmosphere before going back to your routine!
