Day One
The smaller lakes and towns are scattered across Lombardy and eastern Piemonte, impossible to see in one short trip, but some of the best can been enjoyed on a leisurely two-day drive from Lake Garda to Lake Como.
Head west on the A4 Autostrada to Brescia to spend your first morning admiring its museum and Roman sights. Having lunched at Due Stelle (see Due Stelle, Brescia), continue to nearby Lake Iseo. Explore the eastern shore, especially the Romanino frescoes in Pisogne, the small museum in Lovere and the weird rock pinnacles outside of Zone.
If you can, spend the night at I Due Roccoli (see I Due Roccoli, Iseo), or at least have dinner there (see I Due Roccoli, Iseo, Lake Iseo).
Day Two
On Day Two, drive north into the Val Calmonica (see Val Calmonica Villages) to view some of the valley’s prehistoric rock carvings. Then head back south to diverge west at Lovere for the back road to Bergamo.
Check into your hotel and spend the afternoon enjoying the Renaissance architecture and carvings of the Colleoni Chapel, the excellent Accademia Carrara gallery, medieval town square and, of course, the town’s shops, cafés and wine bars.
End your day with a hearty meal at the aptly named Antica Hosteria del Vino Buono (the “Ancient Inn of Good Wine”; (see Antica Hosteria del Vino Buono, Bergamo)).
