About Baveno
Baveno sits on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, where the Borromean Gulf opens toward the islands and the water is calm enough for easy, unhurried boat trips. From the town's lakeside pier you can join a Borromean Islands Hop-on Hop-off Tour: Discover Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore and step off at your own pace, or take the Private Boat Tour on Lake Maggiore: Explore Borromean Islands & Hermitage for a quieter, more personal route around the gulf.

Frequently asked questions
Baveno faces the Borromean Gulf directly, so boats leave from a sheltered shoreline and reach Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori quickly. The water here is calm and the crossings are short, which suits hop-on hop-off routes, private cruises and shorter gulf tours alike. You spend more time on the islands and less time travelling.
