The Months frescoes in Palazzo Schifanoia are simply amazing! There's also a nice informal eatery in the back garden of the palace, great in summer. The Church of Santa Maria in Vado is round the corner, absolutely worth visiting. Check opening times. Some churches in Ferrara shut at lunch time. Including the Duomo. more
