Panoramic route into the torrent Brasa gorge From 27/07/2020 till 30/09/2020 one way uphill in the first part - Atm closed for work in progress
Reviewed By 9000Gent - Ghent, Belgium
A really must do. Road is narrow with lots of curves and with very nice views on the Garda lake. It is a one way street (as of this year from 10 am till 17 pm) when you climb, so normally you cannot have oncoming cars. (otherwise there are traffic lights). To get back you simply follow in the little village of Pieve at the round about the indications for Voltin, Vesio, follow that road untill you see a sign Limone to the right. So you will get back on the road around the lake.

Lecco's clock tower is the second highest tower in Italy and one of the highest in Europe. Now it's possible to visit it, in some days and only with reservation, thanks to the project that aims to revalue this monument. It will be a unique experience that will lead from the full of history basement of the tower up to the terrace on top of it from where you can admire a full 360 view of the city, the lake and its mountains.

We didn't climb this impressive tower, but we spent 3 days in this beautiful city. It makes a very good base for visiting Lake Como. We loved Lecco with it's lake promenade, gorgeous views, nice streets and buildings... This is a city where I would love to live.
4. Museo Fratelli Cozzi Alfa Romeo
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 171 reviews
Fratelli Cozzi Museum stemmed from the passion of Pietro Cozzi for Alfa Romeo cars, after he decided to collect one sample of each model produced by "Casa del Biscione". Beginning with 1950s' designs, it was decided to identify the quintessential models, special series, top-performance engines, and more than 50 cars were assembled, including some that are unique worldwide. Nor does the museum lack for original documents, books, drawings, films, signs, trophies, photographs, and objects that, as much as the cars, bear witness to the history of Fratelli Cozzi's strong and enduring partnership with Alfa Romeo. The collection is constantly updated with new models and is an important legacy for 20th-century history of Italian cars, as well as playing a key role in understanding the industrial growth of this outstanding brand, born in Milan in 1910.

We visited Onepio to do the gold wine tasting which was excellent and great value for money. Most importantly we tasted a number of great wines - we were allowed to pick which ones we wanted to taste from a selection so it can be tailored to personal preferences. We had some lovely local cheeses and other snacks to accompany also. Our hostess was really knowledgable taking us through each wine and how its grown and produced. She struck a great balance between talking to us and giving us time to just enjoy the wine. We stayed for a drink after in the sunshine and ordered a few bottles to be sent home also. Very glad we visited.

Lake Iseo is paradise on earth, it is really beautiful. I am lucky to have friends who have boats and we have visited many places on Lake Iseo, and everywhere seems so pleasant like most of the local people we met, and as we can speak Italian quiet well we have spoken to quiet a few people and they all were very nice and easy to talk to as they talk a nice Italian with no dialect.

The Alfa Romeo Museum has been completely renovated and is even more prestigious. The historical site in Arese has a new look and open to public with a refined arrangement that reflects Alfa Romeo's distinctive DNA. Six floors of history binding past, present and future and complimenting the achievements of an extraordinary brand, its vehicles, its technology and style.

I trekked out to the Alfa Museum with my Alfa tragic partner. He was in raptures, naturally, but even to a mild Alfa lover like myself, this museum, with its lively depiction of the history of the iconic brand, was a treat. The historic models on display gave a colourful and photogenic impression of the history of Alfa Romeo. What beautiful cars they are. I especially loved the video clippings of famous racing victories, and of Alfa Romeos in famous films. The red Spider in The Graduate, it has to be said, is drool-worthy. There were many models on display, and the information accompanying them was just enough to satisfy your curiosity without overburdening you with information. At the end of it all came the coffee shop - the coolest coffee shop in Italy. With options for all dietary requirements. A great morning out, strongly recommended. Go see for yourself.

Reviewed By mosesloh84 - Singapore, Singapore
At first glance, you may think that this is just one ordinary church. The name of the church, San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro (St. Peter in Golden Sky), refers to the mosaics of gold leaf behind the glass tesserae, decorating the ceiling of the apse. However, the mosaics seem not very well maintained and give the impression that the splendour of this church had faded throughout the centuries. Nonetheless, the richness of this church is not in the appearance but the treasures within. You can find the tombs of St. Augustine of Hippo and a lesser known philosopher, Boethius, here. There should not be many tourists around as well, which will give you the quiet space and time to yourself.
