Gardaland is the best and largest theme park in Italy. There are many rides which have contributed to its success including: a journey amongst the pharaohs in "Valley of Kings" and a trip round a pirate village in "The Buccaneers" You can also visit the "Village of the Elves" and venture through the uncultivated jungle.

There are hundreds of other attractions as well as live shows. The park which has been carefully put together, right down to the finishing touches, is also houses a number of restaurants and gift shops. Note that hours vary according to the season.

Caneva Aquapark is probably one of the most adventurous Italian water parks in the state. Amongst its many advantages is also that of being less well known, and therefore less crowded than other parks. The evocative setting of a 19th-century Caribbean village is a perfect surrounding for a water park with thousands of attractions, where trees and decorative structures are so dense as almost to block the view of the slides until you are very close. Some of these slides are only to be found here, not in the rest of Italy: the double 'Black Hole' that runs completely underground, which you travel through on a rubber tire, and the frightening 'Stukas', high and steep enough to frighten anyone. There are also more well known attractions like the 'Anaconda' or the brilliant 'Water Jump'.
This church was already famous as a parish in the 6th Century but it was reconsecrated in 1140. In 1262, it was assigned to the Augustinian order, which began to renovate it from 1275 onwards. They made the church longer, eliminated the previous churches, and incorporated an already existing road. The exterior façade is in brickwork with two Renaissance-style mullioned windows with two lights; it has a portal with three late-Gothic statues, the central one featuring a Saint and a marble rosette. The church's interior is enormous, so much so that during wars of the Risorgimento it was used as a hospital. The church only has one nave in the form of a cross, and has seven side altars which are decorated by notable frescoes and altarpieces. The ceiling is barrel vaulted and there is a red marble baptistry dating back to the 17th Century.
