Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Brescia varies according to what you're most interested in. If you're going to focus on sightseeing, wandering around the city, and doing some excursions in the beautiful natural surroundings, choose spring (mid-April to mid-June): the warm, but not too hot climate is best for walking around, even if you might have to endure some rainy days every now and then. Nature will also be at its best. However, if you plan on spending most of your time on the beaches of Lake Garda and Lake Iseo, come during the summer: July and August are the hottest months, and the temperatures can easily rise beyond 30 °C. Summer weather is great for taking refreshing baths, lying in the sun and appreciating the landscape, but it's not the best if you plan to get around a lot. The area will be overcrowded around the festival of Ferragosto (August 15): expect a load of people and higher prices the entire week. Prices also get very high during the New Year's Eve week, especially around the lakes.
