About This Tour
One of the strongest aspects of Brescia is how unexpected everything is. Its beauty, its past and modern significance, its vibrant way of life, its layered and complex history. Still, in a country often associated with loudness and performance, Brescia is a city that doesn’t shout to be noticed. Its people are confident, warm, grounded, secular and playful. Discover the city on a relaxed walking tour led by a licensed local guide. Designed for curious, thoughtful travelers, the tour is informative but never pedantic — history is told with clarity, humor and a relaxed pace. Explore UNESCO-listed Roman ruins, medieval squares, the castle area and hidden corners of the historic center, while learning about the city’s past and everyday local life. The experience ends with a typical local drink, the Pirlo, a perfect moment to chat, ask for local tips and enjoy a friendly atmosphere. Ideal for 1st- time visitors looking for culture, authenticity & a fun experience away from the crowds.
