Summertime in Pavia

A boat trip along the river Ticino, a walk in the shade of the city oases and parks

Summer is the season when one should relax, so getting in long cues when return home after a weekend trip should not be on program.

This is why we recommend a quiet visit to Pavia and its surroundings to discover its artistic and natural wonders.

Beat the heat by visiting the Botanical Gardens or go on a trip to the Ticino river. You can always spend relaxing hours at Lomellina or enjoy the elegance of Vigevano or sit back and go to the thermal baths of Miradolo.

Leave the frantic city life behind and head to Pavia to experience a splendid Summertime among art, nature, food and wine!
