Lake Iseo

Italy

Experience authentic Lombardy

Tucked unobtrusively between the larger lakes Garda and Como, this hidden gem is nevertheless the fourth largest lake in northern Italy. Loaded with the charm and beauty of its more famous neighbours, it sees just a fraction of the visitors, therefore making it the perfect place to soak up atmospheric alleyways, elaborate churches and impossibly beautiful vistas. The large island of Monte Isola soars dramatically from the sparkling water, and has its own enchanting villages and a medieval castle to explore. Whether you’re relaxing with an Aperol Spritz, cruising along the stunning shoreline road or enjoying a picturesque boat trip, Lake Iseo is a truly idyllic location from which to enjoy the delights of the Italian Lakes.

Attractions:

Lake Garda

Glittering like a sapphire amongst the vibrant green hills and craggy mountains, Lake Garda is a destination that has it all. Italy’s largest lake has inspired poets and artists for centuries with its crystalline waters, characterful harbour towns and picturesque vineyards. The Riviera feel of the gentle southern shores gives way to more dramatic scenery on the northern coast of the lake. The town of Riva del Garda at the lake’s northern tip is bright and breezy with pretty baroque buildings, and lively Limone is surrounded by lemon trees and sheltered by cliffs.

Lake Como

Famed the world over for its exquisite beauty, the jaw-dropping Lake Como is hemmed by forested hills and snow-tipped Alpine peaks. The lake’s shore is studded with achingly pretty towns and villages, home to old fishermen’s cottages and tiny lanes. Explore the typical lakeside village of Varenna, where it feels as if time stands still, before taking to the gentle turquoise waters on a boat trip to Bellagio. Bellagio is known as the ‘pearl of Lake Como’, with its elegant churches, gardens and historic character.

Bergamo

The bustling city of Bergamo is a majestic medieval masterpiece with history, culture and music at its heart. The historic core of the city sits atop a hill and is divided from the lower city by Venetian walls, which afford spectacular views of the surrounding Lombardy region. Explore the charming cobbled streets, take in the lovely architecture from different eras and visit the city’s fascinating churches, picturesque piazzas and outstanding museums and galleries.

Milan

Stylish and fast-paced, Milan is also a cultural hub and home to a plethora of illustrious art collections – from the old masters to contemporary pieces. Famously home to Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper and the Pinacoteca di Brera (one of Italy’s foremost galleries), Milan’s other landmarks include the stunning arcades of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele ll; the intricate Gothic spires of the Duomo di Milan; and the iconic opera house, La Scala. With other treasures such as the medieval Sforza Castle or the peaceful Leonardo’s Vineyard tucked into its centre, Milan is quite simply jam-packed with delights.
