Еverything around Lake Garda (Lago di Garda) is extremely interesting: ancient castles, cities - Sirmione, Salo, Desenzano, Garda, Bardolino. It is best to get acquainted with the sights by car: picturesque roads, gardens, vineyards and the vast expanse of the largest lake in Italy will not leave anyone indifferent.
This area is rich in various wines. In addition to the very pleasant red "Bardolino" there is also a stunning white from the grapes grown in the vicinity of the town of Lugana (Lugana). The unique aroma of this wine, which may well compete with the French Chablis, will turn the head of any, even the most impregnable woman. And if you drink it in a restaurant on the embankment, by the light of evening lanterns….
You can also rent a boat, at least for four hours, and visit all the islands, small coastal towns, swim and sunbathe.

Verona is an unforgettable atmosphere, narrow streets, old buildings and unobtrusive shopping in the city center.
First of all, you should definitely visit the "Verona Colosseum - the Arena", which is already about two thousand years old and where operas by great Italian composers are performed in the summer "Aida", "Tosca" and "Carmen" in the open air can be heard only in this part of the globe.
Tickets are sold both on the stone steps of the amphitheater and in the stalls, where, of course, it is much more comfortable to sit and hear the music better.
In addition, Verona is the birthplace of Romeo and Juliet, whose tragic love story happened, according to Shakespeare, on these streets. Juliet's house is located at 23 Via Cappello, with a life-size bronze statue of her in the center of the courtyard. Touching her hand or chest is a good sign: Love will certainly come to you (even after the third marriage) ... well, or it won’t leave, if there is one. You can also go up to the balcony from which Juliet spoke to Romeo, take a picture, wave from there to the crowds of visitors below and leave an autograph at the entrance to the courtyard, where all the lovers of the world certainly want to write something.
Grab a coffee at "piazza delle Erbe" and take a leisurely stroll along the Lungoadige Rubelle promenade along the Adige River, which rises in the Alps and flows into the Adriatic Sea.
For dinner, we recommend "La antica bottega del vino", founded in 1890, with its exquisite local cuisine and unique wines, presented on a hundred-page wine list.
For the first visit to the city, 5-7 hours are enough. The train departs from Milan Central Station. Travel time is about 1,5 hour.
