Festival and exhibitions
The Ferrara Buskers Festival, devoted to street performers, combines art, music and cultures; it takes place in August (the 2027 edition is announced for 25 to 29 August, with a preview in Comacchio on the 22nd). Palazzo dei Diamanti, linked to the Fondazione Ferrara Arte, hosts international-level art exhibitions.
- Este walls: a ring of about 9 km between the grassy moat and the tree-lined rampart, which the tourism site suggests to sportier visitors on hot days; the route starts at Porta Paola.
- Cycle routes: itineraries for every level, from the Destra Po along the river to the Garda–Adriatic route towards Ravenna, Bologna, Padua, Verona and Mantua.
- Bike rental and repair: a list of services on the Ferrara Info website.
