You will take a day trip from Milan to Lake Maggiore, the second-largest lake in Italy and one of the most beautiful landscapes in the north of the country. Located between Piedmont, Lombardy, and Switzerland, this destination combines Alpine views, elegant villas, historic gardens, and lakeside villages.
The experience will begin with the transfer to Stresa, a picturesque town located on the western shore of Lake Maggiore. There, you will be able to enjoy its peaceful atmosphere, lake views, and elegant villas surrounded by gardens, some of which are open to the public.
During the tour, you will also be able to admire the natural surroundings around Stresa, known for its pleasant climate and panoramic views of the lake and mountains. If you wish, you may explore local options such as the cable car to Monte Mottarone, from where you can enjoy views of the Alps and the lakes of the region.
One of the highlights will be the boat ride on Lake Maggiore, allowing you to contemplate the landscape from the water and approach the famous Borromean Islands. As you cruise, you will be able to enjoy views of the coastline, the mountains, and the gardens that characterize this area.
The visit will include Isola Bella, known as the “beautiful island,” located opposite Stresa. In this place of great historical value, you will be able to explore its gardens and, if you wish, visit Palazzo Borromeo, an elegant 17th-century palace whose entrance will not be included. At the end, you will return to Milan with an experience that combines nature, history, navigation, and the classic charm of the Italian lakes.
