About Mantua
Mantua's UNESCO-listed centre was built for grey skies: the Gonzaga family's frescoed interiors, arcaded streets and lakeside mists turn a wet afternoon into the city's most atmospheric hours. Step inside the Guided Tour of the Ducal Palace in Mantua, where room after room of painted ceilings keeps the rain firmly outside, or spend an hour among the giants of Palazzo Te, whose indoor halls are the reason the Gonzaga summer palace still draws visitors in any weather.

Frequently asked questions
Mantua's greatest sights are interiors. The Ducal Palace and Palazzo Te hold some of Italy's most important fresco cycles, so rain costs you nothing indoors. Guided visits also explain the Gonzaga court, the Camera Picta and the city's lake defences, turning a wet afternoon into the most informative part of your trip rather than a washout.
