Isola Bella & Isola dei Pescatori Tourist Boat

Upon arrival, you can stroll through the narrow streets of the old fishing village and visit the Church of San Vittore, the most significant monument on the island. There are also plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy local cuisine.

After Isola dei Pescatori, continue to Isola Bella, known for its gardens filled with fountains and flowers. The name Isola Bella originates from its Baroque palace, built by Charles III Borromeo in honor of his wife Isabella. The palace is open for visitors to explore its elegant halls.
