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 <i>Piazza del Foro</i>, 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 <i>Castello di Brescia</i> 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!
