Milan Surroundings Botanical Garden - Stresa's Isola Madre 🌳

🍃 Today, I'm recommending to you the beautiful lake town of Stresa and its lake island, Isola Madre. When it comes to Stresa, everyone probably knows about Isola Bella, but the adjacent Isola Madre is also very beautiful 😍! Plus, it's not crowded. On a sunny day ☀️, strolling through the botanical garden 🌳 is truly delightful. 🚴 Transportation: Trains from Milan can directly reach Stresa, with frequent train schedules, and you can buy tickets anytime. After arriving at Stresa train station, follow the crowd to the city center, walk along the lakefront to Navigazione Isole Borromee Lago Maggiore S.N.C., and purchase your boat ticket at the ticket office next door. A round-trip boat ticket 🎫 to Isola Madre only costs 13 euros, and it's cheaper to buy a package ticket if you want to visit the other two islands. 🤩 Way to Explore: On the way from the train station to the boat ticket seller, you can see many beautiful flowers 🌸. The lakefront walkway in Stresa is like a huge botanical garden! After boarding the boat and arriving at the island, turn right and walk for 5 minutes to reach the botanical garden ticket office on the island, which is 19 euros for adults. The island is not only filled with flowers but also peacocks 🦚, various rare birds, and a 17th-century palace. The island itself is not large, but it's stunning enough. #Italy #GreatPlacesInItaly #Milan #BotanicalGarden #DayTrip #WeekendGetaway #SpontaneousTrip #Stresa #LakeIsland
