Live the passion of Romeo and Juliet in Verona with this Lake Garda and Verona Day Trip. During the tour, you'll visit charmingly romantic spots such as Sirmione.
Lake Garda and Verona Day Trip
We'll meet at the indicated time to take a bus to the Veneto region, departing from the Largo Cairoli roundabout.
We'll drive along the winding streets of Verona's historic centre and stop outside Juliette's house. You'll spot the balcony where Juliette said her fateful words "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?". The building now receives hundreds of love letters to Juliet, also because it was the location for the most famous scene in the film 'Letters to Juliet' which helped popularise this palazzo as a tourist attraction.
The city also has a great imperial history, which you can see by visiting the Roman 'Arena di Verona' amphitheatre. During the Imperial period, this 'Colosseum in miniature' was the home of gladiator fights, but today hosts opera performances. Here you'll have 1 hour of free time to eat and continue discovering the city at your own pace before returning to the bus.
In the afternoon the medieval Sirmione castle welcomes us to one of the most beautiful towns on Lake Garda. To reach the old town you'll have to cross the drawbridge which connects the area to the peninsula. Once in the centre, you'll have free time to see its archaeological ruins from the Roman period.
From Lake Garda we'll head back to Milan, leaving you at the meeting point between 11 and 12 hours later.
