Discover Lake Maggiore

27 December 2018 by MilanoArte

What to see on Lake Maggiore? It’s hard to decide, but whether you’re in love with nature, art or looking for ways to spend an unforgettable day an hour from Milan, Lake Maggiore is certainly your destination.

Stroll on Isola Bella, in the gardens of Borromeo Palace looking for the famous white peacocks and admire the precious picture gallery, or climb through the narrow alleys of the village on Isola dei Pescatori in search of a local trattoria. Get to the top of the ramparts of the Rocca d’Angera, a Medieval castle still owned by the same family since 1400s, and maybe reach the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso Ballaro built on top of a natural balcony overlooking Lake Maggiore.

Do you know that one of the most splendid views of lake Maggiore can be enjoyed from the top of Monte del Sasso del Ferro? You can reach the mountain with a breathtaking cableway riding tiny open buckets. It takes a little bit of courage to try this experience but the reward is unforgettable.

Let us know if you are lodging in one of the charming villages on the lake or staying in a big city of North of Italy and we will build the perfect day on Lake Maggiore for you.
