For those travelers looking to make a quick getaway, northern Italy has much to offer including scenic lakes and stunning cities filled with history.
Arrive separately at the designated Venice hotel by way of your own preferred transportation. In the evening you will attend an informative meeting led by the tour leader to learn more about the excursions to come. Sit down and enjoy a satisfying dinner at the hotel before taking advantage of the comfortable overnight accommodations included in your package.
Start your morning off with a buffet breakfast at your hotel before embarking on the day's journey. Traveling by motor coach, the first stop will be Verona, an artistic city that served as the backdrop for the story of two star-crossed lovers, Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Situated in northern Italy and spanning the Adige River, Verona has an abundance of historical architecture and Ancient Roman monuments that will be seen along the way. The city is home to the Arena, a Roman Amphitheater located in the expansive Piazza Bra and constructed around the year 30 AD. A landmark that once drew crowds for gladiator matches and other events, today the Arena continues to host fairs, operas and theater performances.
You will start your day with a buffet breakfast at the hotel prior to departing on your excursion. You will enjoy a panoramic tour of Milan, known for its extensive shopping opportunities and exquisite Italian fashion. A stop at the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping gallery is a perfect example of the glamour to be experienced throughout this city. Constructed in 1877, the historic structure flaunts large plate-glass windows and decorative awnings on the exterior, while providing a spacious interior environment. Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and a number of famed cafes all call the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II home. The Sforza Castle will also be seen along the way. Francesco Sforza, the Duke of Milan, built the Castello Sforzesco in the 15th century on the ruins of a 14th century fortification. Since its recent renovation, the quadrangular structure now features intriguing art collections and museums. You will also admire one of the world's largest Gothic Cathedrals, the Splendid Duomo. This symbol of Milan stands at the center of the city with all roads branching out from its grounds. Be sure to take in the impressive size of the architecture and marvel at some of the more than 3,000 statues placed throughout. Afterwards, the tour will end at the Centrale Railway Station. Any transfers to a hotel in Milan or the airport are not included in the package; however, there is the possibility of a complimentary transfer to Rome via bus, which will arrive in Rome around 7:30 p.m. End of our services.
