Monte Isola | A beautiful island on an Italian lake

Among the famous and beautiful Italian lakes, Iseo is definitely a place to visit. Especially, the island of Monte Isola. Yes, there is an island on the lake! And not a small one. Actually, Monte Isola is the biggest and largest lake island in Europe! 😱

How to reach Monte Isola?
You can take the ferry from Sulzano or Sale Marasino. Those are the closest harbors. There is a ferry every 20 minutes and you can buy your tickets on the spot.

The free parking spot that I found is in Sulzano.

It's uphill and there is a small path to follow to go to the pier by foot. It will take you 15 to 20 minutes to reach the pier. You can park closer to it but it's going to be 7€ the day (which is ok).

How to travel around Monte Isola?
Cars are not allowed on Monte Isola. You can rent a bike, take the bus (you can buy the ticket on the bus with cash) or walk. There are some hiking trails but you want to be prepared with the right shoes as the path is uphill and rocky.

What to do in Monte Isola?
You can explore the villages, enjoy some delicious food (at the restaurant Mi Lago for instance), hike, and go to the top of the island to visit the sanctuary of the Madonna della Ceriola to enjoy the panoramic view of Lake Iseo!

How long does it take to visit Monte Isola?
You can easily spend the day or one night on the island.
