Maggiore Centro Gardens

New!! Maggiore Centro Gardens: visit the most famous gardens of Lake Maggiore with a single ticket

Explore and discover the beauty of Lake Maggiore, Isola Madre and the Villa Taranto botanical gardens with the 1-day hop-on hop-off ticket. Taste delicious regional dishes accompanied by quality wines.

How it works:

With this special ticket you will have a ready-made programme for an extraordinary day on Lake Maggiore.

After a cruise on the lake aboard a ferry of the Lago Maggiore shipping company, you will discover the beauty and harmony of Isola Madre, one of the Borromean islands, and the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto. You can also stop and visit the other islands along the way (Isola Bella: extra entrance fee not included). Between Isola Madre and Villa Taranto, the ferry stops in Pallanza, where you can enjoy an aperitif at the gourmet café and restaurant Caffè delle Rose (11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday closed). You can taste the best cheeses and cold cuts this region has to offer, accompanied by quality wines. You can organise the food and wine tasting at your leisure during the restaurant’s opening hours. We recommend that you book your tasting between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.: check the departure time of the last ferry back to the original embarkation point.
