Overview

Step off the beaten path and uncover a Roman temple that vanished from view for centuries, hidden beneath a garden until 19th-century excavations brought it back to light. This self-guided audio walking tour blends storytelling with interactive quizzes and a smart map, so you can explore Brescia's historic core - home to Roman and Lombard monuments recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site - at your own pace, with no physical guide and no app to install, just your smartphone. Wander from the Gothic-Romanesque Chiesa di San Francesco through the grand piazzas of the Old and New Town to the remarkably preserved Capitolium temple and the medieval Castello di Brescia, uncovering layers of Roman, Lombard, Venetian, and modern history along the way. Flexible timing means you can pause for a coffee, linger at a viewpoint, or breeze through - the tour waits for you.
