Juliet’s Verona & a Sirmione Cruise on Lake Garda from Milan

About this experience

Explore Verona and Lake Garda on a guided day trip from Milan, with a visit to lakeside Sirmione and the option to cruise across Lake Garda's sparkling waters.

Depart Milan for Verona, where a guided walking tour reveals the famous sights that inspired Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, including Juliet's balcony at the Capulet residence. Continue to admire the Roman amphitheater, Piazza Mercato, and other historic landmarks, then enjoy free time to explore independently and grab lunch at a local cafe.

In the afternoon, journey to Sirmione, one of Lake Garda's most picturesque towns on a narrow peninsula. Wander beneath its medieval castle and take in sweeping lake views, with the option to join a boat cruise (extra cost) across Lake Garda before returning to Milan with memories of two of Northern Italy's most charming destinations.

Itinerary and highlights

Departure by bus from Milan to Verona. Short rest stop along the way.

Verona is a beautiful and romantic city, a prosperous medieval town in its own and a popular tourist destination.

The Roman Theatre is one of the most important reminders of the Roman history of the city. From here your friendly professional guide will walk you through the narrow medieval streets of the city, savoring the atmosphere of Verona’s many piazzas, before arriving at the famous Juliet’s House.

Your walk continues to the ancient Roman Arena. This impressive building still hosts concerts and operas during the summer, and you will walk on his two-thousands years old stones while your guide will tell you all the secrets of this marvel of roman engineering.

Take a look at Piazza Bra, Verona’s main square. Here your guide will give you the best insider tips for a typical lunch or on how to find the best gelato in tour.

Sirmione, which lies between the blue waters of Lake Garda and green olive trees, is undoubtedly one of the most romantic places on earth and its beauty has been praised by Roman poet Catullus since the early days. Visit the narrow medieval streets that burst with color and take a look at the moated castle.
