Verbania —
Gracefully set on the western shores of Lake Maggiore, Verbania is one of northern Italy’s most refined lake towns, where alpine scenery meets Mediterranean softness. Formed from the merging of Pallanza and Intra, the town enjoys a privileged position facing the Borromean Islands, with snow-dusted peaks rising behind palm-lined promenades. Elegant yet refreshingly unpretentious, Verbania is a favourite for travellers seeking beauty, culture, and a slower pace of life.
Must-sees / Must-do:
- Giardini Botanici di Villa Taranto: Among the most celebrated botanical gardens in Europe, showcasing thousands of plant species, seasonal blooms, and panoramic lake views.
- Lungolago di Pallanza: A scenic lakeside promenade ideal for leisurely walks, café stops, and sunset aperitivi.
- Borromean Islands: Hop on a ferry to Isola Bella, Isola Madre, and Isola dei Pescatori, famed for their palaces, gardens, and traditional fishing villages.
- Intra Old Town & Market: Explore Intra’s historic centre and lively weekly market, one of the largest in the region.
- Val Grande National Park: Just inland lies Italy’s largest wilderness area, offering dramatic hiking trails and untouched alpine landscapes.
Culinary culture:
Verbania’s cuisine reflects both lake and mountain traditions. Sample risotto with perch, freshwater fish dishes, and polenta served with rich local cheeses. Lakeside trattorias offer simple, elegant cooking best enjoyed with a glass of Piedmontese wine and a view across the water.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its gardens and promenades, Verbania rewards those who slow down. Take a boat across the lake to hidden coves, explore hillside villages dotted with stone chapels, or ride the historic cable cars nearby for sweeping alpine views. Spring and autumn are especially magical, when the town feels peaceful and colours are at their richest.
Good to know:
Verbania is easily reached by train via Milan, with ferry connections linking the surrounding lake towns. The town is walkable, though boats are the best way to explore Lake Maggiore. The climate is mild, making it an appealing destination from spring through early autumn.
