What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Porta Nuova's stunning modern architecture and vibrant atmosphere, particularly the iconic Bosco Verticale and the lively Piazza Gae Aulenti. It's seen as a symbol of Milan's contemporary evolution, offering a glimpse into upscale urban living. Some find it a bit sterile compared to historic areas, and parking can be a challenge.
"A small gate in the center of Galatina. It's a shame about the traffic and the cars coming and going through the gate, many parked inside and outside. Overall, it's a beautiful gate, with beautiful details. Galatina is a small town, so it's worth a visit."
Andrea R.
"A few km from Lecce. Must see the very beautiful churches for those who love history. Trendy shops for those who love shopping. You are close to the sea and near Gallipoli for those who love a bit of everything and for young people the great nightlife both in summer and winter"
Consolata Caracciolo
"Passing through that door is like entering the past, sensations and emotions that take you back to how we once were... but then, crossing it, you feel the present instead!... cultural symbol of a great historical period of my city GALATINA!"
