Palazzo Schifanoia

A bit of a trek from Ferrara’s center, especially under the scorching June sun, but definitely worth the walk! I hadn’t planned to visit until I realized my FE Card covers it—and I’m so glad I did. This charming little museum surprised me with its fascinating frescoes and intimate feel. It’s not huge, but the artwork feels personal and thoughtfully curated. Recommend grabbing a cold drink afterward—your feet (and patience) will thank you—but for the art and atmosphere, Palazzo Schifanoia delivers!

To be honest this was not my favorite museum, This is not totally the fault of the place itself. It was our first full day in Ferrara, absolutely worn out, the temperature was about 35 degrees and it was quite a walk in the heat, at least 15 minutes. So by the time we arrived it was hard to concentrate. Admission was by way of our pre-purchased MY FE Card. ( Purchased online before we set off ) This works well if you are staying in Ferrara for a few days as it reduces your tourist tax as well as saving money if you got to several of the attractions included in the ticket. The museum itself is not really of note, the main attraction being The Hall of Months for the frescos. Although still in a state of restoration, there is significant damage from when they had been white washed over. The garden/cafe us a small haven ( the cafe opening about 12 noon). The staff were very friendly and helpful

Il palazzo is located in historic center of Ferrara ! Famous for the art pieces of “Francesco del Cossa and Cosmè Tura” No need to purchase the tickets in advance and not so crowded! There is a small garden after to chill and have a drink !

This is a very hard place to rate, because the very little that it has on display is of medium to high quality, but at the same time, if you have been to Florence's Medici chapel, then it really isn't anything to write home about. Plus points English options for audioguide, descriptions and videos. Negative points, the VR audio is quite dodgy, and to be honestly, the descriptions of the surviving frescos need to be better. Also a guide came into the fresco room, moved everyone out the way, had an argument with a client and then proceeded to guide very loudly with no microphone and headsets. As a professional guide in the Louvre myself, I hated this as it ruined the experience for other visitors.

Impressive, well preserved and presented medieval frescos. Good interpretation and an especially nice garden and cafe courtyard. Beware of the (many), strict staff who will insist on a set route round the exhibits. One of them yelled at me for mistakenly descending some stairs. Their behaviour was rediculous and rude.

Very beautiful LOCAL museum. Many people in reviews compare it to some national museums. However, in my opinion, it is still beautiful and has charm. I like it, and for artists - a wonderful inspiration, especially in the well-preserved frescoes.

Truly amazing frescoes! Also a nice video to learn about the building's history. I only went because I had the MyFe card so got free entry, but I'm really glad I did!

Beautiful palace with a wonderful garden and Cafe. The inside is very interesting and the hall of the months is beautiful and very well preserved. I highly recommend a visit here even if just a short one ~1h.
