Brescia is a very industrialized city, well known for its weapon producing factories, the famous Beretta pistols being produced here as well as various high quality cutlery and kitchen accessories.

The city is served by a small Brescia Airport which is located at about twenty kilometers from the city center. This airport however serves mostly local flights so unless you’re taking a connecting flight you’ll probably land in a different city. Regardless of where you’re coming from though you can have our Brescia car rental services have a car of your choice ready for you at the airport as soon as you land.

While Brescia isn’t a tourist city it does offer a couple of attractions which you can see while there, starting with the Tempio Capitolino; these are the ruins of what used to be the Roman Forum built by the emperor Vespasian.

The city has two churches pretty much side by side, a very old one and a relatively new one. The very old one is a pre-Renaissance church with a massive stone dome and crucifixes from the 12th century and next to it there’s the considerably younger, 150 year old cathedral which itself features the third largest dome in Italy.

The city also features a very ancient castle, actually dating back to pre-Roman times, it has been used constantly and the last time it was fortified was during the 16th century when it was in use by Venetian overlords. Nowadays it houses museums dedicated to weapons, armor and Italy’s Risorgimento.

One museum is housed in what used to be a convent, the Santa Giulia cloister. The museum houses exhibits which date back ten thousand years ago and explore the region’s history through the various major stages it went through.

These are some of the things that you can see and do while in Brescia so make sure to consider employing our Brescia car hire services in order to enjoy the city and its surroundings to the fullest.
