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.
