Lake Maggiore: Daytrip from Milan at Lake Maggiore Day Trips from Milan

Lake Maggiore: Daytrip from Milan is a guided day excursion from Milan to the Italian lake region, covering a coach transfer, a two-hour panoramic boat cruise on Lago Maggiore, and a visit to the Borromeo Palace on Isola Bella. The trip runs for seven and a half hours and departs from Largo Cairoli 18 in central Milan. Lake Maggiore sits on the border of Lombardy and Piedmont, roughly 80 kilometres north-west of the city, and the Borromean Islands have been associated with the Borromeo family since the 17th century.

The itinerary takes in the town of Stresa on the western shore before the boat cruise passes the stately lakeside villas and gardens that line the water. Entry to the Borromeo Palace is included in the booking, giving access to the ornate baroque interiors of the palace on Isola Bella. Note that entrance to the Isola Bella Gardens and Palazzo Borromeo grounds is not covered and can be purchased separately on the day. A professional guide accompanies the group throughout, and a multilingual audio-guide is provided. Transportation is by air-conditioned coach. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The excursion is not suitable for wheelchair users.
