Gradara: in the footsteps of Paolo and Francesca with Dante

Every Tuesday afternoon, experience a unique journey filled with poetry, history, and beauty as you discover the medieval village of Gradara and the famous story of Paolo and Francesca, immortalized by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy. The trip begins with a comfortable round-trip transfer on a Gran Turismo coach, departing from several stops along the Riviera Romagnola, all conveniently located just steps from the main hotels.

Upon arrival in Gradara, you will be welcomed by a dedicated service and accompanied through the village’s streets, the evocative walkways along the walls, and the symbolic sites of one of the most famous love legends in Italian literature. “Dante” himself will guide you on this journey through rhymes, tercets, and passionate stories in an ironic and engaging atmosphere that will make you relive the feelings and dramas of the Middle Ages. At the end of the visit, you can taste a sample of Ippocrasso, an ancient spiced wine that captures the full flavor of medieval tradition.

During your stay, don’t miss the chance to visit the majestic Gradara Castle, the beating heart of the village and the setting of the tragic story of Paolo and Francesca. Stroll through the narrow cobbled streets of the village, admire the artisan shops, and be amazed by the panoramic views from the ancient walls stretching all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Visit the small Church of San Giovanni Battista and the historical museum, where you can discover archaeological finds, weapons, costumes, and period objects that tell centuries of history.

Moreover, for every paying adult, one child up to 15 years old participates free of charge, making this experience even more special for families. This is much more than a simple visit: it is a journey through time, a walk among verses and ancient stones, an exciting dive into the heart of our culture.
