VERONA
The city of Verona, which is also the capital of the province of Verona, is situated at the foot of the Monte Lessini on the River Adige. Verona is not only famous for its opera festivals and as setting for Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet but also for its urban structure and architecture for which it has been awarded world heritage status by UNESCO.

LAKE GARDA
Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy, is situated at the foot of the Alps. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, lush vegetation flourishes on the shores of the lake. So enjoy a walk between palms, olive trees, vines, lemon trees and oleanders!
