Highlights

Trento: See pristine streets decorated with stone castles and modern edifices.

Bolzano: Wander Bolzano’s streets and squares, noticing its Tyrolean-style buildings and the mountain backdrop that frames daily life.

Venice: Travel by boat along the Giudecca Canal as your Travel Director gives an orientation to Venice. Pass 13th to 18th-century palazzi, the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Square, an iconic introduction to the city from the water.

Venice: Glide through Venice’s canals on an iconic gondola ride, passing beneath historic bridges and past elegant palaces. Soak up the city’s romantic atmosphere as your gondolier navigates the tranquil waterways, offering a unique perspective of this timeless floating city.

Venice: Witness the ancient skill of glassblowing, now practised by precious few masters. Watch artisans create delicate works of art using rare traditional practices. The workshop's artisans teach visitors about the traditional craft of glassblowing and its history which dates back to the 15th century.

Baveno: Stroll along Baveno’s cobbled lanes and see its 16th-century square, framed by lakeside calm.

Como: Take in the exquisite views of the lake and its alpine backdrop as you explore this magnificent town.

In Bolzano, where Italian and Austrian influences meet beneath the Dolomites, you’ll encounter the remarkably preserved mummy discovered in the Ötztal Alps. Taste crisp Prosecco among Veneto’s rolling vineyards, explore the romance of Verona and watch molten glass take shape in the hands of a Venetian artisan. As your journey settles on the shores of Lake Maggiore, a Dine-Around evening in Baveno brings together local flavours and lakeside tranquillity in a memorable finale.
