From this part of the lake, board a ferry for a leisurely cruise back to Bardolino

After an early breakfast, drive to Venice. Take a walking tour during which you’ll see numerous attractions, including St Mark’s Square, the Campanile and the Doge’s Palace.

Another free day for you to explore the surrounding area, perhaps hopping on a ferry to one of the lakeside towns or simply relaxing in the hotel.

Day 7 – Verona
Visit the city of Verona, where your guided tour will take you past medieval buildings, through narrow streets and charming marketplaces.
