Vibrant, small Italian city with good eating and shopping opportunities.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

As always, it’s worth getting out of the centre. Take a 20 minute bus ride (#2 or 4) to Opicina and eat at Trattoria Max, or walk down Corsi Italia for a drink in piazza Garibaldi which was very lively when I was there.
