Brescia, however you want it.

If you're a culture lover, you'll fall head over heels for Brescia! This charming city is perfect for leisurely strolls, with much of the historic centre pedestrianized. You'll be surrounded by ancient buildings, piazzas, and attractive shops, all steeped in history. Unlike other cities, Brescia has kept modern business development out of the city's heart, so you can enjoy its great visual appeal. Founded by the Gauls and later part of the Roman Empire, Brescia enjoyed great prosperity in the Middle Ages and was conquered by the Venetian Republic in 1426.

Throughout the city centre, you'll find stunning examples of Brescia's heritage, including Roman remains, Medieval churches, and beautifully-decorated Renaissance and Baroque palaces. As a university town, Brescia has a lively atmosphere, especially in the Medieval area north of the historic centre. Here, you'll find a plethora of tiny cafés, restaurants, and small international stores, many serving Brescia's immigrant community. Don't miss out on this delightful city - it's a true gem waiting to be explored!
