Top Attractions in Imola
💡 Go on a Saturday morning when the weekly market fills the square. Late afternoon, the light hits the brickwork of the palazzo perfectly.
💡 Free access to the walkways ends at sundown. Go just before closing for golden light and fewer people.
💡 Ask at the ticket desk if the chiostro piccolo (small cloister) is open – it's often overlooked and has fresco fragments.
💡 Bring an empty bottle and fill up at the Fontana della Salute – locals swear by the water. Avoid after rain; the paths get muddy.
💡 Weekday mornings are quietest. Walk to the back straight near the Variante Alta corner for the best view over the fence.
