About Stresa

Stresa is one of the easiest places in Italy to travel alone on the water: the Borromean Islands sit just offshore, boats leave all day, and you can join a crossing without booking a private charter. Hop-on hop-off routes such as the Stresa: Borromean Islands Hop-On Hop-Off Boat Tour on Lake Maggiore let you set your own pace between Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola Pescatori, while the From Stresa: Isola Pescatori Hop-on Hop-off Boat Tour is a relaxed pick if you would rather linger on the fishermen's island.

Frequently asked questions

Boats to the Borromean Islands leave frequently from Stresa's waterfront, so you can travel alone without fixed group schedules or minimum numbers. Hop-on hop-off tickets let you decide how long to stay on each island, and the crossings are short, which keeps a solo day on Lake Maggiore simple and unhurried.
