This boat service will take you to explore the Borromean Islands. From the town of Stresa, you'll get on a boat and sail to Isola dei Pescatori. Named after the most common profession of its inhabitants – fishing – Isola dei Pescatori is dotted with picturesque houses and narrow, winding lanes. You'll be able to try out a variety of fish dishes here, or buy souvenirs from a local craft shop.
The boat will also take you to another of the Borromean Islands, known as Isola Bella. Covering this island is the Borromeo Palace, a 17th-century structure with scenic views of Lake Maggiore. You'll be able to explore the palace and take a relaxing walk around its Italian-style garden.
