Mantova & Sabbioneta

Discover Gonzaga’s masterpiece towns with an expert local guide

Mantova and Sabbioneta are two beautiful towns that reflect the Renaissance ideals promoted by the Gonzaga family, who ruled over the territory for 400 years. After picking you up from your hotel in Verona, you will reach the center of Mantova where a local guide will show you all the major sights of the town wrapped by water. These include Palazzo Ducale, a huge complex featuring 500 rooms decorated with Flemish tapestries and glorious frescoes by Andrea Mantegna. The tour will then continue to Sabbioneta, which is considered a fine example of Renaissance urban planning, with an exceptional network of streets and several interesting buildings like the Garden Palace and one of the first example of permanent theaters.
