Lago d' Iseo Travel Guide

 angiebabe Says:  At Cislano there is a tourist office for the Pyramids de Zone - which was closed when I was there as it was Good Friday - with a moderate sized car park, info board for the site and a signposted path that takes you around the outskirts of the privately owned residences and...

 Iseoman Says:  I know lake Iseo well and although not so well known it has dramatic scenery and lots to do combining lake and mountain activities. There are so many including, multi pool complexes (3 at last count), windsurfing, treetop rope park, sailing, golf, Go Kart, horseriding,... 

 iandsmith Says:  It seemed at times that whatever corner you turned, there was another cyclist or bunch of same.Since it was almost impossible to overtake, on occasions I spent some time behind our two-wheeled friends. I say that advisedly as I race pushbikes myself, albeit at a considerably... 

 iandsmith Says:  As you clear the mess of Bergamo and the southern end of the lake on the western side, you end up driving through Predore which is where you get the first real feeling that you are in a scenic area.This bright and picturesque little town is the first in an alternating... 

 iandsmith Says:  Sometimes the contrast is on the same buioding as shown in this colourful example in the main street of Rive di Solto.Pink and green??Riva di Solto is one of the most picturesque localities of the Sebino. Some ruins, among which are the castle and a tower from the 13th... 

 iandsmith Says:  I had to pull up somewhere and take some shots and this town looked as attractive as any I had been through.Palazzo Martinoni:On the main street there are two gentlemen’s houses: Palazzo Martinoni of the noble family Martinoni and Palazzo Polini of the XVIth Century, an ex... 

 iandsmith Says:  The further north you go, the closer to the alps, yet somehow this barren mountain had managed to divest itself of all the recent snowfalls and was seemingly at odds with the beautiful water below.It would probably not be described as pretty, but it was certainly... 

 iandsmith Says:  One of my favourite Italian things is the way the old and the new meld together. Not always harmoniously, sometimes in a manner jarring to the senses. Here we see a rugged brick exterior competing with faded frescoes adorning the high walls of nearby apartments. 

 iandsmith Says:  See, I told you the cyclists were everywhere! This is actually the spot where I peered over the side after taking this shot and saw all the fish mentioned in the tip above. 

 iandsmith Says:  I remember walking along the foreshore at some point and noting the millions of fry swimming underneath and wondering if there were any bigger fish in the lake. No sooner had the thought crossed my mind than a fish around 2kgs swivelled his way though the crystal clear lake... 

 iandsmith Says:  Though it almost looks like it is attached to the mainland from the western shore, Monte Isola is indeed an island, occupied and with its own church sitting resplendent upon the highest point and, just to make sure I saw it, just as I was taking this photo through the haze,... 

 karin_kamphuis Says:  We went to franciacorta (look for the signs, cause they are hard to find!!).The swimming pools were great. Nice glides and not too busy!!Also nice for younger kids because there are many playgrounds.The many glides are marvellous.Try them all!!!!...... Lots of pleasure. 

 karin_kamphuis Says:  Please read the homepage of Iseo. I would not recommend this camping-place to someone else, because Sassabanek is much better and we didn't liked the fact that the campinggrounds were on top of each other. Very narrow roads and you could not leave you car in front/next to...
