Ferrara is the city that engineered itself, and this self-guided walking tour traces how. In 1385 the Este dukes raised a moated fortress against their own citizens; a century later they clad a palace in 8,500 stone diamonds and laid out Europe's first master-planned Renaissance street grid, a short walk from the shadowed medieval arcades of Via delle Volte. Everything runs from your phone, with no app to install. Ten stops are mapped for you, with walking directions between them and a short audio story at each one, followed by an interactive quiz that turns the details into something you actually remember.
