Hinterland
Hinterland
The hinterland of Brescia is a living land, made up of villages, historic centres, country roads and villas that tell stories.
Here one can breathe a different, slower rhythm.
A territory that combines culture, nature and local flavours, far from the crowded routes but close to everything.
Parks, cycle paths, historic houses, village festivals: here every day there is something to discover.
For those looking for authenticity, without leaving the heart of Lombardy.
