Day 2 LAKE GARDA (BARDOLINO, PESCHIERA DEL GARDA, SIRMIONE & DESENZANO)
Breakfast and departure to Lake Garda. Stop in continue on to Bardolino. This charming Italian town is still maintaining the look and feel of the medieval Europe with the old streets, roadside cafe, villas, olive cloves and vineyards It has beautiful lakefront views, much like any of the other towns on the lake. However, the world-renowned local wines contributed heavily to the establishment of Bardolino as an ideal vacation destination: the Bardolino ‘rosso’ wine is well-known throughout the world. Visit here a local wine cellar and enjoy a delicious wine tasting. Continue towards Peschiera del Garda. Given its strategic position between the lake and the Mincio river, the Po valley and the morainic hills, it has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and has been an important bastion for the defense of the Veneto up to the unity of Italy. The historic center is completely surrounded by water and imposing walls that make Peschiera a small star-shaped Venice. Several are the Hapsburg military buildings of great elegance. The two monumental gates and the Roman archaeological area are also worth a look. Lunch on your own to taste local food. In the afternoon proceed then to Sirmione, a historical town perched on a thin and craggy peninsula jutting four kilometers into the lake and whose beauty has attracted the most famous artists in history. Strolling its cobbled streets we discover the imposing Rocca Scaligera, a beautifully preserved 13th century castle surrounded by the large water-filled moat, and above all, of one of the largest Roman villas in Italy lying at the tip of the promontory: the Grotte di Catullo. Continue to Desenzano, the most populated city of the Garda. The splendid mosaics of the Roman Villa and the prehistoric finds of the Rambotti Museum show that the place has been inhabited since time immemorial. Mosaic floors with tigers, cupids that fish and maidens that weave flowers give the idea of how lavish this Roman villa by the lake once was. The oldest plow in the world is kept in a deconsecrated monastery along with other objects from the daily life of hunters of the Stone Age and our ancestors of the pile dwellings. Back to your hotel. Dinner on your own and overnight.

Admire the main highlights of the city like Piazza Bra, dominated by the magnificent Roman Arena, the third largest amphitheatre in the world, now hosting a vibrant summer season of opera. Continue through to Piazza Erbe, the old Roman forum and be sure that visit the famous balcony which featured in the Shakespeare tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Another 14th century attraction consists of the bizarre “Arche” of the Della Scala family, namely the stone lace structures pointing up to the sky that still harbour suspicions and mysteries. Proceed to buildings containing masterpieces of painting and sculpture such as the Romanesque church of San Zeno with the altarpiece by Mantegna and the Castelvecchio Museum with works of artists such as Mantegna, Bellini and Veronese. There’s plenty of time then to stroll around or why not sit for a while at a pavement café and just enjoy the view. Lunch on your own to taste local food.
