What to do and see in Brescia, Lombardy: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

July 8, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

Set between Milan and Verona at the foot of the Alps, Brescia is the second-largest city in Italy’s northern Lombardy region, with just under 200,000 people. The city’s rich history dates back to pre-Roman times, when it was a Gallic capital. Among the many great local sights are the 11th-century Duomo Vecchio (Old Cathedral, also called La Rotonda), unique for its circular shape, the 17th-century Duomo Nuovo (New Cathedral) next door, and the first-century Roman ruins at Tempio Capitolino.

Museo di Santa Giulia

Desiderio, ultimo re dei Longobardi, quando era ancora duca di Brescia, fondò con la moglie Ansa nel 753 il monastero benedettino femminile di San Salvatore. Il complesso monumentale - nel quale Alessandro Manzoni ambienta la morte di Ermengarda, figlia di Desiderio ripudiata da Carlo Magno - si arrichì nel corso dei secoli di edifici dedicati al culto e alla vita della comunità, con preziosi cicli affrescati, sino alla soppressione voluta da Napoleone nel 1798. A seguito di diverse funzioni, dopo un intervento di recupero e valorizzazione con un'estesa campagna di indagini archeologiche, dal 1998 nel monastero è stato aperto il Museo della città. Su circa 14.000mq, lungo un percorso cronologico, sono presentate circa 12.000 opere che permettono di seguire la storia di Brescia dal III millennio a.C. sino all'età rinascimentale.

The museum is located in old churches within the ancient city, consequently it offers a surprising variety of attractions ranging from remnants of an ancient Roman street to a chapel with magnificent frescoes as well as an impressive collection of art from the Antiquity to the Baroque. Not to be missed!

Brescia Castle

Reviewed By jujusorianom - London, United Kingdom

This is a great place to go with friends or family, or even alone. You are going to take amazing pictures specially if the day is sunny and bright. In my opinion, you should go with time, around two hours so you can walk around and in the castle.

Museo Mille Miglia

Reviewed By RP-Netherlands - Wemeldinge, The Netherlands

We decided to drive the Mille Miglia route in our convertibe and so we started our roadtrip with a visit to the museum. It was the perfect start. the museum has many MM cars on display and also shows a lot of footage of the actual races when they were still held as a race. (nowadays there is an annual MM vintage car event, but not a race). If you watch the films of the race you can imagine an accident was always waiting to happen. The museum is very intersting and has some great cars on display, in a perfect setting. The entrance fee is very reasonable at 8 euro. Room for improvement: 1) some of the information given is in Italian and not in English. 2) Most of the races were won by Ferrari's, especially the last couple of races. Unfortunately there were no Ferrari's on display when we were there. Nonetheless, there we some fabulous and priceless cars shown and for us te visit was well worth it.
