If you’re looking for things to do in Lago Maggiore, check out my frankly brilliant list covering everything there is to do there.

After a week spent in luxury in Italy, I wanted to show you some of the great things to do around Lake Maggiore. As one of Italy’s three biggest Italian lakes – Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como – you can imagine, it’s very beautiful.

Even just driving around the lake is an absolute pleasure, and actually, one of the things I enjoyed most about the trip.

We did 300 miles in the 6 days we were there. So yes, first thing on your Lago Maggiore things to do list is to hire a car!

There’s not a crazy amount of things to see in Lake Maggiore, but enough to keep you busy on holiday and allow for rest. Lake Maggiore isn’t like one of Italy’s crazy cities, it’s a welcome respite from busy life with fresh air and beauty all around.
