About Baveno
Baveno is the quiet, flower-filled gateway to Lake Maggiore's Borromean Islands, and for a first visit it offers something rare: a lakeside town small enough to walk end to end, yet positioned minutes from the islands everyone comes to see. Start on the water with the Borromean Islands Hop-on Hop-off Tour: Discover Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore, which lets you set your own pace between the gardens and the fishing village, then stay on dry land for the Baveno: Sunset Walking Tour Along the Lakefront to see the lakefront turn gold as the day-trippers leave.

Frequently asked questions
Baveno is compact and easy to navigate, so first-timers can combine a boat trip to the Borromean Islands with a short walk along the lakefront in a single day. The town itself is calm and unhurried, which makes it a gentler introduction to Lake Maggiore than busier neighbours, and most activities here are boat-based or on foot.
