Is the breathtakingly beautiful palace island really real? π°π
π Train to Stresa + π₯οΈ Three Islands Pass for 32.4 euros (You can buy the pass online in advance or buy the train and boat tickets separately. In Stresa, there are many different boat companies at the dock. The prices are almost the same, so you can ask about the frequency of the boat schedules.) β²οΈ Isola Bella - Beautiful Island: One of the LV2024 show venues, featuring distinctive Baroque-style sculptures and Italian gardens. The white peacocks are very elegant, and there are a circle of restaurants around the dock. π¦π½οΈ β²οΈ Isola dei Pescatori/Isola Superiore: A very small island with almost all restaurants. It's the only island on Lake Maggiore with permanent residents. Many restaurants offer lake fish as a specialty. It's quite busy on weekends, and some restaurants require reservations in advance. ππ΄ β²οΈ Isola Madre: It's a botanical garden and a small bird garden. The island is filled with colorful birds and peacocks. There's only one small cafΓ© on the island. πΌπ¦ π« For Isola Bella and Isola Madre, there is an admission fee. You can buy a pass online. We also visited Parco Pallavicino, a zoo/botanical garden with an interactive area where you can pet alpacas, deer, lambs, and rabbits. It's nice to take a walk when the weather is good. The pass for all three places is 39 euros. ππ¦π° Anyways, it's a fun long weekend! ππ #MilanDayTrip #ItalyHiddenGems #EuropeOffTheBeatenPath #BaroqueStyle #ItalianGarden #WeddingDestination #LakesideWalk #EuropeanPalace #StunningViewSpot
