Omegna

At the northernmost tip of Lago d'Orta in Piedmont, Omegna sits directly on the water with a lakeside boulevard where a street market runs every Thursday morning. A daily ferry connects it to villages along the lake, and the town has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. The surrounding region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the Alps are close at hand.
