From Venice to Bergamo

In May 2023, I embarked on an Italian Adventure which took me to many of the best cities and regions of Northern Italy.

The trip started in the iconic city of Venice where I re-acquainted myself after three decades with this world famous city. I stayed on Venice Lido, a short boat transfer across from the heart of the city and San Marco square.

From Venice I hit the railway tracks and took in the cities of Padua and Vicenza. These lesser known cities are a delight and well worth visiting either in their own right or as part of an Italy tour.

South Tyrol & Beyond

After a lovely stop in Vicenza I travelled into the South Tyrol and the remarkable town of Bolzano which offers a mix of both Italian and German culture and cuisine.

From Bolzano, it was to Lake Garda and the popular lakeside town of Desenzano del Garda. This stop included a day trip by boat to Sirmione.

From Lakes To The Cities

After a few days in Lake Garda, I took the train and bus to the small Lake Iseo which included time spent in the towns of Iseo, Sarnico and Paratico.

From Lake Iseo it was on to Brescia, a surprisingly lovely city and the start and finish of the iconic motor race – the Mille Miglia which is celebrated at the wonderful Mille Miglia Museum.

My final stop was at the medieval city of Bergamo and its incredible Citta Alta.
