Lake Garda and Venice All-Inclusive

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then we travel south through the night towards Italy.

We continue into Italy and to Lake Garda for a six-night stay.

Enjoy an included excursion today as we 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 waters edge.

Verona is the destination of our optional excursion today. 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.

Enjoy our included excursion which takes us around the shores of Lake Garda, where you can explore the delightful alleyways and lakefront promenades of some of the most popular locations on the south of the lake.

We enjoy an included excursion to the magical city of Venice, where we’ll find beautiful 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.

On today's optional excursion, we enjoy a nice leisurely drive this morning, travelling through the Trentino region and admiring some stunning scenery along the way.

We’ll make our way along the northern end of Lake Garda, passing the beautiful Lago di Toblino, as well as the pastel-coloured Lago di Tenno - don’t forget your camera!

We leave Garda and retrace our steps through France, travelling through the night.

Return home.
