Cosenza

Key attractions include the Duomo (Cosenza Cathedral), the Castello Svevo (Swabian Castle), the Museo all'aperto Bilotti (MAB), and the historic old town. Don't miss the opportunity to stroll along Corso Mazzini, the city's main street, and explore the various churches and palaces.

The best time to visit Cosenza is during the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. Summer can be hot, but it's also a great time for enjoying outdoor activities and local festivals. Winter offers opportunities for skiing in the nearby Sila National Park.

Be sure to try local specialties like 'lagane e cicciari' (pasta with chickpeas), 'nduja (spicy spreadable pork sausage), and various dishes featuring fresh seafood. Also, sample the local wines and enjoy the region's delicious olive oil.
