Lombardy, Iseo, main square

I had the opportunity to see Lake Iseo many years ago as I accompanied a group of Polish entrepreneurs who visited one of the companies in the area. The company organized our stay in the smallest details also taking care of the tourist aspect of the trip. So, among other things, we went around the lake and visited one of the places, Iseo.

Years later I also saw other northern lakes, more or less large, such as Lake Garda, Lake Como, Lake Maggiore or Lake Orta, and I noticed that everyone in some sense resembles each other. Not for the look, but for the air of tranquility and relaxation that you breathe in it.

Lake Iseo, located in the province of Brescia, is located in a beautiful setting of mountains. It is also the fourth lake in Lombardy and seventh in Italy. You can practice different water sports or relax in the spas. The tour around the lake along the shores of which you will meet several interesting countries such as the country I visited, Iseo.

Iseo is located on the southern shore of the lake and behind its shoulders lies the last stretch of the famous Franciacorta. The center of the village has preserved its medieval appearance with the small porticoas houses worn to each other, surrounding Piazza Garibaldi.

The center comes alive more than usual twice a week when the streets fill with market stalls attracting residents and tourists. A large part of the city is lined by the lakefront on which there are many benches on which you can rest or sunbathe. From here also depart the ferries with which you can get to Montisola, the largest island in the lake whose inhabitants still live fishing.
