Day 3 - Christmas Day - Lake Garda at leisure

Christmas Day is free for you to spend as you wish, as long as you don't forget to join us for our traditional Christmas lunch!

Day 4 - Boxing Day - Verona

​We will spend Boxing Day in Verona. This gorgeous city becomes even more enchanting at Christmas with decorated trees, sparkling lights and a giant shooting star installation outside the Verona Arena. We will take a look inside the marble arena which is the second-largest in Italy and once held 30,000 spectators. Stroll across the Piazza Bra, a huge square lined with pavement cafés and restaurants, and shop for Pandoro (Veronese Christmas cake) in the Christmas market. We will also spend some time at the Nativity Scenes Exhibition, which is held every year and contains 400 nativity scenes from around the globe.​​ B,D
