About Brescia

Brescia rewards travellers who look past the surface: beneath its everyday streets lie Roman temples, a UNESCO-listed monastic complex and centuries of layered civic life. Walking is the best way to read that history, whether you join a Brescia: Private Guided Walking Tour of the Historic Center for a focused two-hour overview or follow stranger threads on the Brescia: Guided Tour of Alchemists and Apothecaries, which trades monuments for the city's hidden world of early science and craft.

The best experiences here focus on a specific thread rather than skimming everything, from Roman ruins and Renaissance splendour to the city's bolder, lesser-known episodes and its early.
