The mountains of Verbano, Cusio and Ossola form the perfect backdrop for the beautiful Lakes District. The parks and trails that surround the historic houses lining the shores of Maggiore Lake are some of the most beautiful in the world. Many famous people vacation on Lake Maggiore, in particular in Stresa, including such Hollywood stars as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Boat trips to the Borromee Islands are both romantic and enchanting and visits to gardens, which are rich with plants and flowers thanks to a favourable microclimate, are a must for amateur gardeners. The area also has a rich historical and artistic patrimony which is waiting to be discovered. You can visit unusual museums dedicated to traditional trades, for example the Museum of the Art of the Hat, the Museum of the Umbrella, and the Museum of the Chimneysweeper.
