1 week in Northern Italy: The ultimate no-unpacking Itinerary
The smart way to see Italy from Verona: One hotel, seven days, endless discoveries
Planning a trip to Italy often means constantly unpacking and repacking, rushing to catch trains, and dragging heavy luggage across cobblestone streets. But what if you could explore Venice, Milan, the Dolomites, Lake Garda, and some of Northern Italy’s most charming villages, all while staying in the same comfortable hotel room for an entire week?
At Felix Tours, we believe travel should be effortless. By choosing Verona as your base, you’ll enjoy easy access to an extraordinary variety of destinations, from UNESCO World Heritage cities and breathtaking Alpine scenery to lakeside villages, all within just 1 to 1.5 hours’ drive.
Here’s how you can experience the very best of Northern Italy in eight unforgettable days, with maximum comfort and zero packing stress.
Why Verona is the Perfect Base
· Unbeatable Location: Perfectly positioned at the crossroads of Northern Italy, Verona offers easy access to many of the country’s most iconic destinations, making it an ideal starting point for daily excursions.
· Easy Arrivals and Departures: Reaching Verona couldn’t be simpler. The city has its own international airport and is also conveniently connected to Milan’s major airports, offering flexible and stress-free travel options.
· Outstanding Value: Compared to Venice or Milan, Verona offers exceptional accommodation at more competitive rates. Enjoy the comfort of excellent 4-star hotels while benefiting from better value for your stay.
The 8-Day No-Unpacking Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to Verona – The City of Romance
Your journey begins with a private airport transfer to your hotel in Verona. After check-in, spend the afternoon discovering one of Italy’s most elegant cities. Wander through its charming streets, admire the impressive Roman Arena, explore the vibrant Piazza delle Erbe, and soak up the timeless atmosphere that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Day 2: The Dolomites & Alpine Wonders
Leave the city behind and head into the spectacular Dolomites. Explore the beautiful Val di Fiemme, visit the charming mountain towns of Cavalese and Predazzo, and take a cable car up to the panoramic slopes of Latemar. End the day in the picturesque village of Moena, known as the “Fairy of the Dolomites”, before returning comfortably to Verona.
Day 3: Venice – Canals, Palaces, and Gondolas
Travel east to the enchanting city of Venice. From Tronchetto, board a private boat that takes you directly into the historic centre. Enjoy a guided walking tour featuring St. Mark’s Square, the magnificent Basilica, and the iconic Rialto Bridge. Afterwards, explore the hidden alleys at your own pace, relax at a waterfront café, or treat yourself to an unforgettable gondola ride before returning to Verona.
Day 4: The Southern Shores of Lake Garda
Spend the day exploring Italy’s largest lake. Begin in Sirmione, where a medieval Scaliger Castle guards a narrow peninsula famous for its thermal waters and stunning lake views. Continue to the fortified town of Peschiera del Garda before ending the day in the colourful lakeside village of Lazise, with its charming harbour and relaxed atmosphere.
Day 5: Milan – Fashion, Finance, and High Culture
Discover Milan, where history, fashion and innovation come together. Admire the magnificent Duomo, stroll through the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and see the legendary La Scala Opera House. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy Milan’s world-renowned shopping streets, cafés and vibrant city life.
Day 6: Cascading Waterfalls & Northern Lake Garda
Today’s adventure combines spectacular nature with lakeside elegance. Visit the impressive Varone Waterfalls, where stunning waterfalls hide inside a stone canyon. Continue to Riva del Garda, one of the lake’s most elegant towns, before visiting the postcard-perfect village of Malcesine, dominated by its medieval castle overlooking the crystal-clear waters.
Day 7: Renaissance Mantua & Fairytale Hamlets
Travel through the peaceful countryside to Borghetto sul Mincio, one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, famous for its ancient watermills and stone bridges spanning the gentle Mincio River. Continue to Mantua, a UNESCO World Heritage city celebrated for its magnificent Renaissance palaces, elegant piazzas, and remarkable artistic heritage.
