Take a guided walking tour in the heart of Brescia and discover a city with a surprising historical and architectural heritage. The tour begins in Piazza del Foro, a meeting point and gateway to the Brescia of the Roman era: here you can see the traces of ancient Brixia and understand how the past continues to interact with the city of today.
We will continue towards Piazza Paolo VI, one of the most iconic spaces in the center, dominated by the two cathedrals: the Duomo Vecchio and the Duomo Nuovo. Next to it, the Palazzo del Broletto tells the story of the evolution of civic power, having been the seat of local government since the Middle Ages. Your guide will help you connect different eras, highlighting details and interesting facts that often escape you when you explore on your own.
The walk continues in Piazza della Loggia, the Renaissance “living room” of Brescia, embellished by the Palazzo della Loggia, the Clock Tower and the Monti di Pietà: a harmonious ensemble that showcases the civic and artistic identity of the city. The route ends on Piazza Vittoria, a major urban development project from the fascist period, which is also useful for understanding Brescia's more recent history and its modern face.
This tour is suitable for all ages, and is perfect for finding your way around the center and grasping the essence of Brescia through its main squares in just a few hours.
