Overtocht over het meer is leuk. Isola Bella doet haar naam eer aan. Let op: prijs voor de overtocht is exclusief de toegang tot het paleis en de tuinen. Maar zeker de moeite waard.

Es lief alles reibungslos ab. Aber bedenken, dass jeweils auf der Isola Bella und Isola Madre ca. 35 pro Person Eintritt anfallen.

Mooi eiland met leuke straatjes. Jammer dat het grootste deel van het eiland alleen toegankelijk is met bezoek aan het paleis en paleistuinen. Dit kost nog een €22 pp.
