The  spa, golfing, mountain biking or sunbathing in the green Parco Lungo Sillaro are among the most popular activities with visitors.

Built above traces of the original Roman and Medieval layout, the historic city centre has a lovely 17th-18th century appearance characterised by traditional porticoes, a feature shared with nearby Bologna.

The symbol of the city is the Cassero built in 1199, the year when the city was founded, and boasting a recently-restored theatre.
