Lake Garda to Venice Lagoon

Combine a relaxing few days on the shores of Lake Garda with cultural explorations in Verona and Venice on this laid-back, week-long trip around Northern Italy

Set on the southwestern shore of Lake Garda, the picture-book town of Moniga del Garda makes for an idyllic base from which to explore the region’s highlights. You’ll stay here for four nights, enjoying guided tours of the surrounding towns and villages, alongside days at leisure to explore at your own pace. 

Visit Isola del Garda, the lake’s largest island, perched above a sweep of blue and famous for its elaborate Venetian villa. Take in the lemon groves and cobbled lanes of Limone, then stroll between the medieval castle walls of Malcesine and Lazise. Sample the region’s famous Chiaretto rosé, and choose to kick back on a beach or hop between the lake’s myriad of other quaint, cobblestone treasures.

After you’ve had your fill of snow-capped mountain views and glistening water, you’ll travel to Verona, the land of Romeo and Juliet. Here palatial remnants of the once-ruling Scaligeri family sit beside well-preserved Roman ruins, with atmospheric lanes leading to fountain-topped piazzas. Visit the Casa di Giulietta to gaze up at Juliet’s iconic balcony, and take in 2,000 years of history as you wander its Unesco-listed streets.

End your trip with two days to take in Venice and the surrounding region. Visit the legendary St Mark’s Square and its basilica, glide along postcard-pretty canals and take in the city’s myriad islands as you round off a memorable, culture-filled week.
