Embark on an enchanting full-day excursion from Venice to discover the historic charm of Verona and the scenic beauty of Lake Garda. In Verona, you will stroll through atmospheric streets to visit Juliet’s House and stand before the imposing Arena di Verona, a Roman amphitheatre that dominates the city centre and still hosts performances. The city’s architecture, from medieval piazzas to elegant palazzi, invites leisurely exploration, with plenty of opportunities for photography, short breaks at cafés and independent discoveries.
Later, the journey continues towards Lake Garda where you board a relaxing cruise from Desenzano to Sirmione. The panoramic crossing reveals crystal-clear waters and lakeside vistas that set the tone for a tranquil stay in Sirmione. On arrival, wander along narrow cobbled lanes, admire the fortified Scaligero Castle rising above the harbour, and explore the archaeological remains at the Grotte di Catullo, an evocative Roman villa perched on the peninsula. This carefully paced itinerary blends history, culture and natural scenery, offering memorable moments whether you enjoy architecture, archaeology or simply the calming lakeside atmosphere.
