It’s a real dive into history \u2013 there are so many things to see in Brescia<\/u><\/a> that one day probably won’t be enough. We have already told you about its richness, but this time we want to propose an unusual and original itinerary<\/strong> that will take you to visit <\/strong>Brescia-literally-from the heights to the depths<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We will take you up to the Castle<\/strong> and the city’s most hidden corners: Brescia’s catacombs<\/strong>! A bit like Robin Hood and in the spirit of Indiana Jones, staying in one of the most beautiful cities of art in Northern Italy: ready, set, go!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nOn the hills to visit the Castle of Brescia
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A visit to the Rocca del Cidneo <\/strong>is a must. The Castle is located highest point of the city and offers truly incredible panoramic views.<\/p>\n

The fortress dates back to medieval times <\/strong>and was built on the hill of the same name. Its walls, keep, and entrance with drawbridge <\/strong>are only part of the vestiges of the eras it has witnessed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"visitare<\/p>\n

Among the most prominent features inside the fortress, you will find oil storerooms <\/strong>dating back to Roman times, a fort, and the Strada Del Soccorso<\/strong>, which was used to provide covert help when enemies besieged the city.<\/p>\n

Its fascinating history <\/strong>and the ingenuity of the inhabitants in organizing their survival up there will amaze you! You can visit from Thursday to Sunday from 1 October to 15 June; and from 16 June to 30 September only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exploring the underground of the city: Brescia Underground
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes \u2013 we have a weakness for underground itineraries<\/strong>: we had previously suggested one, in case you were undecided about what to visit in Naples<\/u><\/a> \u00a9<\/p>\n

But how can you not be intrigued?<\/p>\n

There is also a very interesting one in Brescia, organized by the capable and knowledgeable volunteers of the Brescia Underground<\/strong> Association. The city’s ancient underground canals and waterways <\/strong>can be visited safely, following different routes according to one’s ability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Visitare

\u00a9 Associazione Brescia Underground<\/p><\/div>\n

The first level <\/strong>is for everyone, including schoolchildren, and offers a tour of the city’s streets and squares, and then descends into the Seraglio<\/strong>, which is equipped with walkways to simplify passage. The route takes an hour and a half.<\/p>\n

The second level <\/strong>is suitable for the more adventurous<\/strong>, so it is more of an underground excursion than a walk. In this case, we start from the Seraglio and begin the exploration of the rivers in the city’s underground<\/strong>. It lasts just over two hours: if you choose this route, remember your torch!<\/p>\n

All information on visit dates and reservations is available on the Association’s official website<\/u><\/a>. Happy exploring!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reaching Brescia with Italo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Can’t wait to discover the wonders of this city? Then go ahead and book your ticket: Italo offers more than 15 <\/span>trains to Brescia<\/a><\/span><\/u> per day from Verona, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. Fast, comfortable and convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
