The Splendours of Lake Garda, Venice and Verona

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then travel to Belgium for an overnight stay.

We continue our journey to the Hotel Villa Mulino in Garda.

Discover the delightful lakeside villages of Malcesine and Riva del Garda as we take a relaxing tour of northern Lake Garda.

Malcesine is a beautiful and quintessential Lake Garda town with narrow winding streets and a 14th-century castle that gives fantastic views of the town and lake from its clock tower.

Riva del Garda has a beautiful little port, with houses tightly packed around the water's edge.

Included excursion to the beautiful city of Venice, where we’ll find stunning architecture, fascinating history and vibrant culture.

Venice is one of the most interesting cities in the world, with its winding canals and reputation for being the birthplace (and adopted home) of many amazing musicians.

Today, Venice is an extraordinary city with lots to discover, from museums to art galleries, monuments to bridges, and everything in between.

Some of the most famous places we’ll be able to visit at leisure while in the city include Ca' d'Oro, the Doge's Palace and the Clock Tower, as well as the Museum of Natural History and the Venice Academy Gallery. There’s also the Basilica di San Marco, the Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge and the famous Grand Canal.

Join us as we enjoy a fantastic optional excursion to the Southern shores of Lake Garda, where we’ll get to explore the pretty town of Sirmione and enjoy a short peninsula cruise.

This famous town is known for its beautiful views and relaxed atmosphere, and we’ll be able to take in its many sights. These include the 13th century Scaliger Castle, and the churches of Sant’Anna della Rocca, San Pietro in Mavino and Santa Maria Maggiore.

Spend time relaxing in this charming town and enjoy the scenery of this beautiful part of Italy.

Verona is one of Italy’s most romantic cities, thanks to the fact that Shakespeare chose this city to set his romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet.

While the couple were purely fictional, there are many attractions which claim by local legend to have once set the scene for Romeo and Juliet. For example, there’s Juliet’s House, where we’ll find the balcony Romeo is said to have serenaded his love, as well as the Basilica di San Zeno where the two were supposedly married in secret. There’s also Juliet’s tomb, which is said to be located within San Francesco al Corso church.

Aside from this, there are many other attractions to enjoy in Verona, such as the Piazza delle Erbe, which was once the site of the Roman Forum in the city, and Lamberti Tower.

There’s a Roman Theatre and Archaeological Museum to enjoy as well, and the impressive Verona Cathedral.

The Dolomites feature an incredible variety of diverse landscapes, from lush valleys to towering peaks, as well as breathtaking panoramas at every turn.

These beautiful mountains offer endless opportunities for exploration on our optional coach tour, as we take in the splendid scenery here and stop for a number of photo opportunities!

We’ll get to travel through a number of quaint villages enjoying local attractions along the way.
