Lake Maggiore, also called Verbano, has the east bank in Lombardy and the west one in Piedmont: the north-pointing is in Switzerland in the canton of Ticino. Lake Maggiore has always been a tourist destination: on its shores rise historic towns and seaside resorts, luxury hotels and great places for fun and relaxation.
Arona, Verbania, Stresa, Intra, Laveno, Luino, Ispra and Locarno in the far north, are some of the most popular cities on the lake. Among the most popular destinations are also Borromean islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori) in front of Stresa, and the Brissago islands (St. Pancras and St. Apollinaire) in front of the homonymous town in Switzerland.
One of the main attractions of the lake are the famous villas. Do not miss the Palazzo Borromeo on Isola Madre, Villa Ducale and Villa Pallavicini with a beautiful zoo in Stresa, Villa Giulia in Verbania, Villa Ponti in the centre of Arona, Villa Taranto in Verbania. Of particular interest are the Rock of Angera, a very well preserved medieval building, and the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, a monastery built on the rocky coast in Leggiuno.
