Immortalised in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Verona holds a special place in lovers’ hearts. You’ll get to fall in love with the city on this day trip from Lake Garda, seeing all its main sights as you wander around the history-steeped streets of its old town.

Your guide will show you around, pointing out highlights such as the Roman Porta Borsari and the Roman arena – used every summer for an opera festival – and Juliet’s Balcony. There are also some truly historic bridges over the River Adige as well as a world-class collection of medieval churches and basilicas.

You’ll also see the exterior of the Scaliger Tombs – five Gothic mausoleums for the Scaliger family, nobles who once ruled over Verona. And you’ll discover the monumental Piazza dei Signori, location of the Romanesque Church of Santa Maria Antica, and the Piazza delle Erbe. There’ll also be free time for lunch and shopping.
