Brescia tours

Brescia's been on the map since before there were maps. Nestled in the foothills of the Alps, this city's been a trading hub for at least 3000 years. Today, visitors can walk the streets chariots rolled along, enjoy local delicacies like spit-roasted beef and Gran Padano cheese, all washed down with craft beer brewed by monks. Take a private Brescia tour and discover the city known as the Lioness of Italy. Begin your visit at the Piazza del Foro, the centre of political life during Roman rule. Follow your guide through the old town to the decorated archways of the Capitolium and the remains of a Corinthian temple. Sip an espresso at a café, then climb the imposing Castello di Brescia for amazing afternoon views. If you feel no visit to Italy would be complete without wine, the Franciacorta vineyards near Lake Iseo will not disappoint. But for a taste of something different, ask your guide about beer tasting at a local monastery that produces ales on site. Bottoms up!
