SPECTACULAR LAKE<br />

GARDA & VENICE<br />

Lake Garda is one of the most stunning locations in Europe! The lake covers<br />

three regions and has a circumference of almost 160km encompassing<br />

colourful and diverse lakeside towns, each offering a new experience to<br />

visitors. Away from the lake, the area offers a handful of historic cities,<br />

towering mountains and Renaissance treasures to explore. The hospitality<br />

is legendary and the food and wine are a treat for all. Our base is in<br />

the lakeside resort of Bardolino, well known for its excellent red wines.<br />

It is a pleasure to stroll around, offering plenty of outdoor living and<br />

shopping for visitors, with beautiful lake views. Walks along the lakeside<br />

promenade are especially popular. We will take a full-day tour around<br />

the lake, enjoying the alpine scenery in the north and the Mediterranean<br />

atmosphere in the south, and visit some of the lovely lakeside resorts.<br />

Another highlight will be a memorable day trip to Venice. More than a<br />

city, Venice is a living museum with a rich history evident in every square.<br />

Explore the intricate labyrinth of canals and bridges, elegant piazzas<br />

and abundance of beautiful churches. The two focal points of the city<br />

are the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square. Here the imposing Doge’s<br />

Palace, the exotic St Mark’s Basilica and the Campanile Bell Tower never<br />

fail to impress.<br />
