92 Best and Fun Things To Do In Stresa, Italy


TouristWire Editors

This well-known destination on the banks of Lake Maggiore has been attracting tourists since the late 1800s. One of the most famous visitors was the author Ernest Hemingway, who later featured it as a location in his highly-regarded novel ‘A Farewell to Arms’.

Today, Stresa is still as popular as ever, with thousands of visitors flocking to its picturesque shores every year.

One of the best ways to see the town and the lake is by taking a ride on the Stresa-Alpino-Mottarone cable car, which provides you with gorgeous panoramic views once you reach the summit.

On your way to the top, there is also the chance to stop and explore the Botanical Garden Alpinia, which is home to thousands of unique plants.

Back on the lakeshore is where you’ll find another one of the town’s main attractions – a neo-classical mansion set on an estate that’s home to a number of unusual wildlife species, including kangaroos, zebras, coatis, cranes, flamingos, and black swans.

If you can picture yourself spending some time here on your next break, continue reading for a comprehensive list of everything you need to know about Stresa
