General presentation
Brescia et Franciacorta
Lombar city of Roman and medieval heritage, connected to the wine hills of Franciacorta and Lake Iseo.
To understand what Brescia and Franciacorta are, you have to look at Brescia, Capitolium de Brescia and Chateau de Brescia. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, countryside and shores and lakes and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: summer heat and less spectacular than large lakes. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Brescia
Brescia mixes Lombard squares, Roman remains and shopping streets without losing its rhythm of inhabited city. Between the ancient forum, the superimposed churches of Santa Giulia and the arcades of the center, the visit shows a dense northern Italy, less theatrical than Verona or Bergamo but rich in visible strata.
Place
Franciacorta
Franciacorta is discovered in a landscape of ordered hills, sober villages and wine estates where the vineyards draw the countryside. The area talks especially to travelers who like to take their time: a cellar, a secondary road, then a stop in a village is enough to give relief to the stay around Brescia.
Nature
Lac d'Iseo
More discreet than its famous neighbours, Lake d'Iseo is a watery place between mountains, riverside villages and small panoramic roads. You come there to walk by the water, embark to Monte Isola or simply let the light change on the slopes, especially at the end of the day when the reliefs become clearer.
