  • Day 1 Milan
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Milan

      Our tour of the Northern Lakes begins with arrival in Milan (arrival transfer not included), where we will have a free day to explore 

      the sights of the "Capital of Northern Italy": the Duomo with its terraces, the Castello Sforzesco, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II,

  • Day 2 Lake Maggiore
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Lake Maggiore

      Breakfast at the hotel. Afterwards, we will travel to Milan Central Station where we will take our train to Lake Maggiore. The shores 

      of this lake are shared between Switzerland and Italy. The name Maggiore derives from the fact that it is the largest of the lakes in 

      the area, but among the Italian lakes, it is the second largest after Lake Garda. 

      Our train will take us to Stresa, the most famous resort on the western shore. After checking in at our hotel, we can spend the rest 

      of the day strolling through the beautiful and picturesque streets of this town and letting ourselves be enchanted by the wonderful 

      views of the lake. Return to the hotel in the evening and overnight stay.

  • Day 3 Lake Maggiore
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Lake Maggiore

      Breakfast at the hotel. Today we dedicate the day to visiting the famous Borromean Islands, a small archipelago that owes its fame 

      to its three main islands: Isola Madre, Isola dei Pescatori (Fishermenโ€™s Ile) and Isola Bella. The first stop will be Isola Madre, the 

      largest of the three and the most important island on Lake Maggiore. On the island is a 16th-century palace set in a magnificent 

      English-style botanical garden dating back to the late 19th century. From Isola Madre one then goes to Isola dei Pescatori which is 

      the only public island of the three and is also the only one permanently inhabited by a small community. Isola Bella, on the other 

      hand, is famous for its paradisiacal Italian garden with the Teatro Massimo at its centre, composed of ten terraces forming a

      truncated pyramid adorned with statues and fountains; the scenographic layout is of rare beauty! The garden and palace were 

      commissioned by Count Vitalino Borromeo in 1650, but it took a good four centuries to transform a rock into the magnificent work 

      we visit today. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon and overnight stay.

  • Day 4 Lake Como
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Lake Como

      Breakfast at the hotel. Today we say goodbye to Stresa and the beauty of Lake Maggiore and board our local train that will take us 

      to discover the beauty of another famous Italian lake: Lake Como. Our train will pass through valleys and landscapes typical of 

      northern Italy, moving from Piedmont to Lombardy, before arriving in the charming town of Como. Como is known for its Gothicstyle cathedral, the panoramic funicular railway and the pedestrian path along the lake. The Educational Silk Museum illustrates the 

      history of Comoโ€™s silk industry, while the Tempio Voltiano is a museum dedicated to the physicist Alessandro Volta. To the north 

      are the lakeside gardens of Villa Olmo and other elegant villas. Afternoon free to stroll through the streets of this beautiful town or 

      take the funicular and enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake from above. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon and overnight

      Lake Como

      Breakfast at the hotel. Today we will dedicate the day to discovering the beauty of Lake Como, on the stretch of the lake that leads 

      from Como to Bellagio. Our ticket allows us to get off at each stop and visit the various villages on the western shore. Arriving in 

      Bellagio, we could devote some time to visiting this romantic town, situated exactly between the two arms of Lake Como. Bellagio 

      is known for its cobbled streets, elegant buildings and the Villa Serbelloni Park, an 18th-century terraced garden overlooking the 

      lake. Be careful not to be distracted by such beauty and be sure to check the ferry return times to Como! On the way back to Como, 

      you can admire the changing colours of the lake in the late afternoon light. Return to the hotel in Como and overnight stay.

      we approach by train we begin to savour the timeless charm of this city, located close to Lake Garda and nestled between the 

      Italian Alps and the Po Valley. Arrival and accommodation in the hotel and free afternoon to stroll around the city or visit the 

      famous Arena di, Verona. For those who wish, an excursion by train to nearby Lake Garda is also possible. Desenzano di Garda and
