The Northern Italian city of Brescia is a dramatic setting at the foot of the Alps adjacent to Lake Garda. Visit Brescia as a base to explore nearby Lake Garda and the mountains - car hire in Brescia is a good idea for this. Or stay central to see the religious buildings and Roman relics in the town.
Brescia Castle is built on a plateau near the centre of town and stands out as a landmark from which to recognise the city. After that, hiring a car in Brescia will open up the rest of the region for exploration.
Visiting Brescia
On arrival, it's advised you make the steep climb up to Brescia Castle as a means of getting your bearings via the panoramas on offer at the top. Then perhaps explore places like the Duomo Vecchio or San Salvatore a UNESCO heritage site, for a taste of the atmospheric and unique religious buildings that help define the city.
Lake Garda is just over half an hours drive away on the A4, so hiring a car in Brescia is a worthwhile addition to your trip's itinerary. You can rent a car in Brescia from one of our outlets in the city and enjoy the drama of Lombardy.
