Day One
Outward travel from your selected airport to Italy, and onward transfer to your hotel in Arco, just three kilometres from Riva del Garda on Lake Garda's northern shore.
Day Two
Today's included excursion is to two wonderful Christmas markets.At the spa town of Merano, along the bank of the Passirio River, the aroma of gluehwein and strudel, and the sounds of Christmas music waft through the air as you wander between stalls laden with traditional handicrafts and regional delicacies like smoked raw pork, Schlossbeck (traditional country-style bread), Meraner Lebkuchenmilch and apple schnapps.Bolzano is known as "the Italian capital of Christmas", and the wonderful Christmas Market on the Piazza Walther lives up to this reputation. Local craftsfolk ply their wares, while the foodstuffs on offer fuse the flavours of the north with the tastes of the Mediterranean south. Sample the excellent local vintages, and perhaps take back a bottle or two for your own Christmas table.
Day Three
Enjoy Arco's very own Christmas Markets, held in the town's 19th Century square, or join our half-day optional excursion to beautiful Verona. Set on the banks of the River Adige, this medieval gem's festive focal point is its traditional crib exhibition, featuring 400 displays from across the world (entrance payable locally), and the gigantic white iron 'star' that towers over the central Piazza Bra next to the ancient Roman amphitheatre.
Day Four
Join today's optional excursion to mysterious Venice. Wander through its labyrinth of alleys and waterways, and discover the spectacular St Mark's Square and Cathedral, the Doge's Palace, the famous Rialto Bridge and the historic Bridge of Sighs.
Day Five
Transfer back to the airport for check-in and your flight home.
