Mantova is a lovely town and is well worth a visit. There is a strong medieval feel to the town and it is generally very well preserved. There are not too many tourists but the many fashionable shops bare witness to the town’s prosperity.
Palazzo Ducale is the town’s main attraction and is an imposing palace on a beautiful piazza – taking you back to the Middle Ages.
Mantova has lots of good cafés and restaurants in its ancient buildings with outdoor seating.
