We visited Palmanova on a weekday, access via the A4 to the central square was quick, as it was only 3 km. The shape of the town was an octagon, it was pretty much interesting. I don't think the city has enough attraction for an overnight stay there, unless the tourist has enough time and wants to rest, as the village appeared to be quite quiet.

This city/fortress is just incredible, if you are there go see it even just for a half an hour because it is of great historical importance and in reality it is not very big as one would expect it. I did not have much time and I am still happy that I visited it so now I just have a reason to come back with some more time and to explore more thorougly. Plus, it is UNESCO world heritage site, if that does not convince you, I don't know what it does.

This is a great place to spend a few days. The walks around the fortifications are interesting and very pretty. Lots of areas of wild flowers attract lovely butterflies and dragon flies. Great views across to the mountains. Very unique architecture and construction. The town itself has a great selection of bars and restaurants. Monday is market day in the Piazza Grande, it has a lovely atmosphere.
