Spend the day exploring everything Lake Como has to offer!Thought by many to be the most picturesque lake in all of Europe, Lake Como is known for its deep blue waters and scenic backdrop against the Alps. Shops, restaurants, and quaint houses line the stone streets.

Recognized as one of the “Most beautiful small towns in Italy”, Monte Isola (an island in the middle of Lake Iseo) is defined by its timeless atmosphere and the absence of cars.

In fair Verona shall we lay our scene. The setting for Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” still glows with romance. See Juliet’s balcony, tenderly draped with climbing ivy and overlooking a golden-hued statue of the young mistress herself. As you gaze out and contemplate the power of love, don’t get too swept away -- remember that while Shakespeare based his characters on Verona’s real-life feuding families, both Romeo and Juliet were, in fact, fictional.

Bubbling up on more than 100 islands in a lagoon off the Adriatic, Venice is an absolutely unique and unquestionably beautiful city. The weight of its opulent architecture – bulbous domes, gothic spires, and lacy marble – may be sinking the city by 10 inches a century, but your local guide will make sure you don’t sink out of sight as you tour the intricate labyrinth of streets and bridges. Step into Piazza San Marco, an airy expanse of arches, sunlight, and pigeons. The multi-domed Basilica on one end, completed in 1094 but decorated for centuries afterward, is the final resting place of the apostle St. Mark, Venice’s patron saint. The mosaics beneath the basilica’s outside arches depict the arrival of St. Mark’s body, stolen from Egypt in 828 by Venetian traders. The frothy Venetian Gothic Doge’s Palace stands next door. Continue on to a glass-blowing demonstration. Venetian glass has long been considered the best in the world, and its production was such a state secret that during the Middle Ages, any Venetian glassblower who attempted to ply his trade outside the city was immediately arrested.

The ultimate indulgence. Slice through the dark waters of Venice's canals and see the city as it was meant to be seen. The gondola, constructed from 260 separate pieces of eight different types of wood, is perfectly designed for navigating the city -- its flat bottom allows it to glide through the shallow canals, and its tilting uneven shape allows the gondolier to row on only one side of the boat (so he doesn't tangle with oncoming traffic in the narrow lanes!) and still keep it moving in a straight line. The ferro, or iron "comb" on the front of the gondola, counterbalances the gondolier's weight.
