This exciting excursion departing from Milan will give you the opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Verona and the charming villages on the Lake Garda, which is one of the most scenic and relaxing in Northern Italy.
Departing early in the morning from Milan, you will reach Verona aboard a bus equipped with all comforts. Verona is a city rich in art and culture, with a huge archaeological heritage and a charming medieval historic centre.
Among its main attractions is the impressive Arena, the ancient amphitheatre. However, if you like Shakespeare, you cannot miss the famous “balcony of Juliet's house”.
Accompanied by a professional guide, the excursion will begin by visiting the Verona Arena, which is the symbol of the city: it is a Roman amphitheater built during the 2nd century AD, and is now used as a location for events such as opera and concert venue.
After the visit of the Arena, you’ll head to the House of Juliet, where you can see a building full of history and legends. In addition to the famous balcony, from where she talked to her beloved Romeo, in the yard you will find several shops, where to buy souvenirs.

There are many beautiful villages along the lake, but one of the most representative is undoubtedly that of Sirmione.

You will have free time to visit the magnificent Medieval Castle, a fortress that dominates the only access point to the Southern city centre. The castle is surrounded by the Lake Garda and is defended by four towers, 47 meters high. In the eastern part of the Castle is the fortified dock.
