At the foot of the Alps, not far from lakes Garda and Iseo, the vibrant city of Brescia is the perfect destination for a city break away from the main tourist routes, offering art, history, and culture, aperitivo under the porticoes and shopping in its elegant boutiques. 

Just an hour and a half from Milan, Brescia is the second largest city in the region of Lombardy, with thriving industries, and home to Franciacorta sparkling wine. Together with neighboring Bergamo, Brescia has been nominated the Italian Capital of Culture for 2023.
