A fantastic dirt bike path that could be explored later, perhaps with greenery and without the puddles that were present today.

Vernavola Park is a protected natural area and wildlife sanctuary located in the municipality of Pavia, its largest green space. The park, covering approximately 35 hectares, takes its name from the Roggia Vernavola, a small watercourse approximately 15 km long and a tributary of the Ticino River, which meanders through the park. Established in 1985 and recognized by the Lombardy Region as a nature reserve within the Lombardy Ticino Valley Park, the park has been expanded in subsequent years and equipped with a children's playground, bike paths, and benches. It is home to a riding stable and the Colombara farmhouse, where visitors can observe farm animals and a small museum on rural life. During the winter months (2008), a water meadow ecosystem was recreated in the area between the farmhouse and the canal.

In this small city park there are some paths perfect for walking or cycling in complete tranquility in the urban greenery. The park is crossed by the Vernavola canal, and there is also a small pond.

This beautiful square is simply called Piazza Grande by the locals: it is the lively centre of the city and a shopping district. It is surrounded by arcades full of cafés and shops. On the south side, towards the Duomo, stands the Broletto, the 12th century former town hall; behind one of the windows of the old building watches over the beloved statue of the Madonna di Piazza Grande (1604)
