Things To Do
Enjoy the lake
Lake Iseo offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water, whether you're swimming, paddling, or simply relaxing by the shore. The calm waters and scenic surroundings make it a great spot for a peaceful day out. Spend your time exploring by kayak, taking a dip, or enjoying the view from the lakefront.
Visit Monte Isola
Monte Isola is located in the middle of Lake Iseo. Also known as “Montisola“, this is the largest lake island in Europe. No cars are allowed on the island, which means it is really quiet and beautiful to see on foot. There is a ferry service to the island. From Sulzano, which is the closest, ferries leave every 15 minutes. Although there are no cars on the island, there is, however, a public bus that connects all the villages. Bicycles are also available to rent.
Hikes overlooking Lake Iseo
Lake Iseo surroundings provides tens of hikes. We found this selection to provide a lot of information about each of the hikes, with maps and a range of difficulties.
Wine tasting in Franciacorta
Located south of Lake Iseo, Franciacorta is one of the most important winemaking areas for sparkling wine in Italy. Here you will be able to enjoy wine tastings surrounded by medieval castles, sixteenth-century palaces and suggestive villages and visit the numerous wineries that produce Franciacorta. During your time in Franciacorta, you will visit wineries that make what many consider the best Italian sparkling wine.
Memorable pictures at the Big Benches
A series of seven benches have been installed through the Lake Iseo region as a way to promote getting out into nature. The “Big benches” are giant benches from where it is possible to join a wonderful view on Lake Iseo. The installations are realized within the “Big Bench Community Project” (BBCP) by the American artist/designer Chris Bangle.
Visit Brescia
Even though less known than other major cities, Brescia is a jem to be discovered. Famous of its art and for being the start and arrival point of the Mille Miglia. Visit the largest Roman archaeological area in Northern Italy and discover the monumental remains of the Lombards, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site,or simply stroll for Brescia city-center street, maybe while enjoying a remarkable gelato.
