This square has always been the actual center of the city since the Roman era. Take your time to look around and discover new details on the buildings, and if you get tired, just have a quick espresso in one of the historical cafés that you'll find there. The best time to capture dreamy pictures of the carousel and the architecture is when the sun is starting to set and the light looks like golden shimmer.
Start: Arrive to Piazza della Repubblica.
Visit the historical cafés: Have an espresso and a little pastry at the counter just like a true Italian would.
Take pictures: Get creative and find the best spot to capture the moment! This is the perfect place to take a photo of yourself and your loved ones!
Stop in the square: Take a break from all the walking and relax on a bench while you admire the carousel and its gentle spinning.
If you're not really in the mood for coffee, just peak inside the cafés and look at the ceilings and walls, it'll be worth it!
Stroll around and discover unique clothing shops and delicious gelato spots.
Listen to the street musicians that usually play right in the middle of the square.
