Niccolo' Bertoldi

Lively square at the center of town with a large cathedral, some interesting statues and a very intriguing mix of old and modern in the surrounding buildings. There are plenty of benches where to sit and chill and listen to live music by street performers. Lots of cafes on the square itself and on the surrounding pedestrian streets. As it gets crowded, just beware of pickpockets.

One of the most iconic and most beautiful bookstores in the world. Truly a must see, even if you are not planning to buy books, just to admire this former theatre converted in a bookstore in the year 2000. If you are planning to buy books, the selection is very large, as the store spreads across various levels, including one underground reachable with an escalator, and you can also find souvenirs in the form of magnets or postcards. The former stage also hosts events or temporary stores. The place is really well maintained and a joy for the eyes (and a treat if you like to take pictures). Keep in mind that it is also very famous and so usually very busy, especially with tourists.
