Bikes are a popular way to explore the city and lakeside; many streets in the historic center are pedestrian-only. Try the local specialty, tortelli di zucca (pumpkin ravioli), in traditional trattorias.

Mantova is generally very safe, but watch for pickpockets around major tourist sites and transport hubs. Avoid poorly lit parks late at night, particularly on the outskirts.
Hidden Gems
Visit the lesser-known Palazzo Te's garden, explore the quiet village of Sabbioneta, and stroll the lakeside Mincio Park trails just beyond the city center.
