Brescia is a great starting point to visit some of Northern Italy’s most famous cities. All of them are easily reachable by train.
Bergamo#
The Città Alta (Upper Town) is a medieval jewel surrounded by Venetian walls. Hop on the funicular to get up there and wander through its cobbled streets.
Verona#
Famous for Romeo and Juliet, but for us, the real highlight is the Arena, a remarkably preserved Roman amphitheater still used for opera today.
Milan#
Italy’s fashion and finance capital. Must-sees include the magnificent Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper (remember to book months in advance!).
Padova#
Home to one of the world’s oldest universities and the Scrovegni Chapel, featuring Giotto’s masterpiece frescoes.
Venice#
The unique city on water needs no introduction. Get lost in its canals, visit St. Mark’s Square, but we recommend exploring the quieter neighborhoods like Cannaregio to escape the crowds.
