Do you have got time on
your hands? With the choice of amusement parks, discotheques, shows, concerts, traditional festivals, gastronomical exhibitions and sports matches, you need never be at a loose end.
At Sebino, near to Iseo, Sassabanek offers facilities for tennis, swimming, canoeing, sunbathing, picnics and has a large children’s playground. It is possible to spend a whole day being in contact with the nature. Thrill-seekers will enjoy the high speed go-karts at Lonato, one of the best Italian circuits, where international events take place and karts are available for hire. Brescia and province are famous for its discotheques,
especially the larger ones. Also popular are the beer-houses, the best known is Wuhrer at the now disused brewery of the same name, and the "osterie" (hostelries) where local wines are available in an informal, relaxed atmosphere. Live music can be heard in many bars, which are not only in the town centres, but also in the surroundings and each year music festivals (blues, gospel, heavy metal and spiritual) are organized in different towns around the province. Theatre and shows: the city’s two theatres, the Grande and the Santa Chiara, put on a rich programme of drama and music each year. Opera, orchestral concerts and the International Piano
Festival of Brescia and Bergamo , which has been held at the Grande each spring since
1964, are standard fare.

Few kilometres from
Brescia, at Timoline in Cortefranca there is a water-park filled with swimming,
diving and splash pools, slides and water jets. It is so big that it isn’t difficult
to get lost.
