Iseo other Attractions
- Take the time (you will have plenty of it on your hands) to visit the Castle of Grumello built during the medieval period. I think the worldwide, medieval period was the ages of magnificent constructions of cathedrals, palaces, castles, and forts.
- If it is lunchtime already, reach out for the best of Italian wine and order Sardines, the best fish of Italy.
- Sit on a park bench without making any sound. The only sound would be coming from trees that will attract beautiful Italian birds that you won’t see again in your life.
- If you are by chance interested in fossils (almost no tourist will show inclination), there is a Fossil Lake Park nearby.
- This is a lake, buddy, with still water. You can make use of various water sports facilities that include scuba diving gears, canoes, and kayaks.
- If museums ignite your pastime interests, you can allocate some time to visit one or two museums in the Town of Iseo.
