About Stresa
When rain rolls across Lake Maggiore, Stresa turns quieter and more atmospheric — mist over the water, empty promenades, and the Borromean Islands at their most dramatic. The islands stay rewarding in wet weather, since much of what you see is indoors or under cover: the Borromean Islands: Isola Bella & Isola Madre Entry Ticket covers both islands' palaces and gardens, while the Isola Bella: Entry Ticket & Boat Transfer from Stresa handles the crossing for you so you are not improvising in the rain.

Frequently asked questions
Stresa's main draw in wet weather is that the Borromean Islands are largely indoor experiences. The palaces on Isola Bella and Isola Madre are visited room by room under a roof, and the boat transfers from Stresa keep you out of the weather between stops. Parco Pallavicino also works as a shorter, lower-commitment outing if the rain eases.
