Itinerary
Day 1 Verona
Arrive into Verona, a beautiful town in Italy’s Veneto region, oft described as the ‘city of love’. At arrivals, meet your driver and transfer to your hotel.
Day 2 Verona
After a leisurely start to your day, explore the UNESCO World Heritage Listed city, starting off at the impressive Roman amphitheatre overlooking Piazza Bra, which dates to the 1st century and is the third largest in the world. Put yourself in the shoes of a Roman-era spectator and gain an awesome perspective by climbing up the tiered seating areas of the arena. Later, admire the balcony and statue of Juliet at the gothic Casa di Giulietta - said to have inspired Shakespeare.
Day 3 Verona
Start today with a scenic stroll over the grand Ponte Pietro, under which the Adige River flows, before climbing up to the medieval fortress of Castel San Pietro, offering unparalleled views over the rooftops of Verona from its terraces. Reward yourself with an authentic pizza at Piazza delle Erbe, the city’s bustling market square, where you can find a multitude of inviting cafes and restaurants. Afterwards, perhaps pick up a few souvenirs from the artisan market stalls.
Days 4-6 Val Gardena
Collect your vehicle from the train station and begin the scenic journey to the stunning Italian Alps, universally recognised as offering some of the most striking scenery in Europe. During your stay here, you could begin your day with exhilarating runs down well-groomed slopes before embracing the popping Italian après ski atmosphere at your resort’s numerous vibrant bars and restaurants. In your down-time enjoy an Alpine fondu or warm mulled wine, while overlooking the impressive snowy peaks from the welcoming mountain huts scattered throughout the resort.
Days 7-9 Cortina d’Ampezzo
After a leisurely breakfast, venture to what is known as the ‘Queen of the Dolomites’, Cortina d’Ampezzo, known for its sublime ski slopes and fashionable boutiques. In addition to ski and snowboarding, visitors can also opt for Cortina’s memorable snowshoeing trails and adorable husky sledding tours. If cross-country skiing is your preference, you cannot do much better than the extensive routes offered at Cortina, featuring pre-cut tracks with varying terrains suitable for all levels. Unwind and relax at Cortina’s welcoming bars, restaurants and spas, and why not check out the designer shops located on the main shopping street, Corso Italia?
Day 10 Venice
After picking up your final few souvenirs, take to your comfortable car for your final scenic drive across Veneto, to drop off the vehicle at Venice airport and make your onwards flight connection, or continue your travels.
