This tour offers an exciting journey of discovery through the past and includes a visit to the exceptionally well-preserved substructures of the palace, giving a glimpse of what it might have looked like 1700 years ago.
Our journey begins at the picturesque Riva, where our expert guide will lead you through the fascinating cellars of the palace. You will then discover the most important sights of the palace and learn more about its development from an imperial residence to a vibrant city.
