Day 4: Florence – Verona – Venice
Following breakfast, we depart for Venice. Guests who wish may join the Verona & Lake Garda Tour taking place along the way. Following our tour, we continue to Venice. From the port of Tronchetto, the final access point for vehicles, we depart for the historic island by vaporetto. After a pleasant Vaporetto journey, we get off near St. Mark’s Square, the historic center of the city, and begin our tour among the canals. Here, all the vehicles we are accustomed to seeing in daily life, such as police cars, ambulances, garbage trucks and municipal buses, have been replaced by boats, as the area is free of motor vehicles. While walking from the Riva degli Schiavoni to St. Mark’s Square, you can see the Venice prison and the “Ponte dei Sospiri” Bridge of Sighs connecting the prison with the Doge’s Palace, San Giorgio Island directly opposite the bridge, the twin columns in the square on the main façade of the Doge’s Palace, known as the city’s gateway, and the statues symbolizing Venice atop these columns. The square where St. Mark’s Basilica is located was called “the most beautiful square in the world” by Napoleon. Although construction of the cathedral was completed in the 9th century, it took until the 17th century to reach its present form. The four bronze horses you will see on the main façade were brought from Istanbul upon the return from the Fourth Crusade. During your free time, you can watch the statues atop the clock tower strike the bell every hour and climb the Campanile to enjoy a panoramic view of all Venice from above. Guests who wish may also join the optional Burano Island Tour. Following our tour, free time. Afterwards, we proceed to our hotel, distribute the rooms and spend the night at our hotel in Venice.

After seeing the Scaligero family tombs, we panoramically view the house where Romeo and Juliet were born, which inspired the English playwright William Shakespeare. After a short free time, we depart for Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy.

With its quietness, simplicity and fairytale-like appearance, Burano will add a peaceful yet unforgettable memory to your Venice visit.
Day 5: Venice – Lake Como and Town - Milan
Following breakfast, we depart for Milan. Upon arriving in Milan, we set out for our city tour. Rather than attractive, Milan is a stylish city; rather than creative, it is a wealthy one. It is undoubtedly the lifeblood of Italy’s economy and one of Italy’s most remarkable cities. During our panoramic Milan city tour, Castello Sforzesco, one of the city’s historical monuments, and the Galleria, which left its mark on the 19th-century Industrial Revolution and is also known as Europe’s first enclosed shopping center, will be seen. The famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel was inspired by this structure when constructing the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Duomo, where Gothic art can be seen extensively, is the world’s fourth-largest church, with an exterior consisting of more than 2,000 statues.
