Lake Garda is Italy’s biggest lake. Its beautiful surroundings have inspired authors and artists alike.
It has both old charming villages, and modern towns with all manner of facilities.
North meets south in Verona. Here you’ll find the split between southern oil and northern butter and here they can eat polenta instead of pasta. Verona was originally a Roman settlement that enjoyed the noble name “Urbs Nobilissima.” Under Julius Caesar, Verona became the northern gateway to the central Roman empire, and the very core of the Italian empire
Mantova is a lovely town and is well worth a visit. There is a strong medieval feel to the town and it is generally very well preserved. There are not too many tourists but the many fashionable shops bare witness to the town’s prosperity.
