A heart of the city centre and the major shopping area.
In the first two weeks of August on Piazza Grande, biggest open air screen in Europe. August.
Take a historical funicular up to the old monastery of the Santuario della Madonna del Sasso and cable car station, from where you can take the cable car above the town to approx 1,600 m and then a chair lift to near the top of Monte Cardada and walk a bit further up to get to its summit or walk back down into the town via the monastery and a stone pathway (about 30 minutes to walk down). The views from the summit are extraordinary.
