What to do and see in Brescia, Lombardy: The Best Sightseeing Tours

August 6, 2021 Mollie Coke

Set between Milan and Verona at the foot of the Alps, Brescia is the second-largest city in Italy’s northern Lombardy region, with just under 200,000 people. The city’s rich history dates back to pre-Roman times, when it was a Gallic capital. Among the many great local sights are the 11th-century Duomo Vecchio (Old Cathedral, also called La Rotonda), unique for its circular shape, the 17th-century Duomo Nuovo (New Cathedral) next door, and the first-century Roman ruins at Tempio Capitolino.

The place is huge and very interesting. I wish I could have read all the explanations on all the items, but I would still be there today. If you like science it is a very interesting place to go and you can stay there for hours and hours to try and see everything. It ends up being a little tiring, especially if you have to walk to go to other places. We were unable to see everything because the place closed at 12 or 13 (we thought it would close later) and we were leaving the city after this attraction.

We tried repeatedly to contact this company after the trip was booked, paid for and confirmed. Multiple phone calls, WhatsApp messages, emails were unanswered on the day we were supposed to do the trip and no one showed up to pick us up. Our hotel couldn’t contact anyone at the company and Viator was no help, either. Our whole trip to Sharm el-Sheikh was centered around climbing Mt Sinai and now it’s been ruined.

7. Day Trip from Verona to Bergamo with stopover at Brescia

Sit`N`Trip

Bergamo's Venetian walls are both classic and opulent, with the power to captivate the sternest of men. The wall divides the city into two - the Upper Town, (La Citta Alta) which sits on top of the hill packed with narrow wandering streets, and the Lower Town (La Citta Bassa), which extends towards the plains and the major international airport. This split distinction is Bergamo's most seductive feature. Brescia is valuable and unique and the presence of remarkable historical and artistic treasures, suggestive corners and places make it a center of great interest and importance, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
