BaitoneAlpino suggests: Brescia

Located about an hour and a half by car from Malcesine, this city will amaze you with its beauty and places full of history and culture. Starting from the Santa Giulia Complex, which houses the 9th century Croce del Desiderio, one of the largest goldsmith works in the world; the incredible frescoes of the Coro delle Monache; the remains of the ancient Roman Domus; the Basilica of San Salvatore. If this splendor is not enough for you, you can visit the Roman archaeological park, registered as a UNESCO heritage site, which includes the Piazza del Foro, the Capitolium, the Santuario Repubblica, the ancient theater, the Roman basilica and the monumental complex of San Salvatore. From the castle of Brescia, then, you can dominate the city and enjoy a breathtaking view. The Paolo VI and Della Loggia squares will enchant you with their views. And the Queriniana library will make you rediscover a piece of local history. But Brescia is not just this. Its territory is rich in nature and can offer many outdoor activities, from trekking to cycling routes.
