Monte Isola, Brescia, Italy

What are fabulous place to visit when in the north of Italy and exploring the lakes. This is the beautiful Monte Isola.

Monte Isola is a decent sized Island right in the middle of lake Iseo or Lago di Iseo. It’s very quaint, beautiful and simply a gorgeous place to visit when in the area. Definitely a fantastic and highly recommended day trip if you were traveling around the lakes and would like to see something quite unique and special. The area is famous for freshwater sardines and you can enjoy some good cuisine at some of the local restaurants here. A small ferry will take you across from the Eastern side of the lake in minutes and at relatively low cost. There’s a beautiful little cycling bar next to the ferry station on the edge of the lake where you can enjoy a quick aperitivo before you make the short journey across. It might be worth making restaurant reservations here because there is not a huge choice and I can imagine in the very busy periods you could easily be disappointed when the places are full. If you’re looking for a last-minute day trip then go for it you will not be disappointed.
