Lake Maggiore / Lago Maggiore / Lac Majeur

This wonderful lake is the greatest of Italy with 397km perimeter.

The color of the water is so beautiful when the sun is here, that you can look at it for hours.

Some islands are accessible by boat, like "Isola Madre", "Isola dei Pescatori" or "Isola Bella", they are my favorites.

You can also from there go to Milan, a nice city for a day trip.

Very scenic area, close to Milan and Swiss border

Nicest flowering season April-May. (My opinion!)

View, tour around (almost 180km) are for free.

Botanic garden, lake navigation and island visits (worth them!) are not!

In the neighboring Orta lake and Como lake are worth too!
