1.     Day: Welcome!

Prosecco glass wine upon arrival

2.     Day: Verona… above and under

Today you will discover Verona from a different perspective.
How? Going underground.
Besides the Arena and Juliet's House, you can get in touch with places unknown to the most, where you can find out Roman mosaics, the columns of the Capitol and the bricks used to build the medieval walls. Ritual places and ancient tombs will also not miss.
For the lunch break, you will have free time to find one of the trattorias in the center and to taste one of the homemade and oldest dishes of the Veronese tradition such as the “pastisada de caval with polenta”.
Do not forget to add also a good glass of red wine.

3.     Day: Venice and the music:: the Theatre “Fenice” and Vivaldi in the “Chiesa della Pietà”

If you have already been to Venice, do not worry… today you will see it from another point of view.
A walk with a guide in the historic center will be however necessary... but then the music will become the protagonist.
What do you know about the origin of Opera and what characteristics should a theatre have? In the case of “Fenice”, have you thought about how they had to proceed with its reconstruction after the 1996 fire, which destroyed it almost completely?
Today you will not only listen to theatres, but visiting the Church “Chiesa della Pietà”, also about the famous Ospedaletti, the hospices where young girls were educated by the most famous masters of bel canto and composers.
The most famous was the Red Priest: Vivaldi… and if you do not know the reason for his nickname, you will find it out together with your guide.

4.     Day: Padova: walking and real spritz

Today you will discover Padua… the oldest city in Veneto! Our proposal is to dedicate the first half day to the entire historic center, with the main squares (Piazza Erbe, Piazza dei Signori, Palazzo Bo, Palazzo della Ragione…).
Before lunch, being Padua one of the capitals of spritz, you cannot miss a stop in the famous Pedrocchi Coffee, where, unlike in all the other bars, you can drink the green spritz, invented by them, with a "secret" recipe, a mix based on wormwood and other bitter herbs. In the afternoon, you will move on foot to Prato della Valle, one of the largest squares in Europe. You will visit the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, one of the largest churches, as well as one of the most visited shrines in the world.
Considering that you will be very close, you must visit the Botanical Garden, the oldest in the world. Padua, as you may have noticed, has some world records... ...

5.     Day: Vicenza e Bassano del Grappa

You cannot miss one of the most fascinating tour: the heart of Vicenza!
A walk to discover the masterpieces of the famous architect Andrea Palladio, without a doubt, one of the greatest geniuses of the Italian Renaissance.
You will get to know the Olympic Theater and the masterpieces of Giovanni Bellini and Paolo Veronese in the temple of Santa Corona. You will be amazed in front of the bulk of Palazzo Chiericati and the Palladian palaces of Contra 'Porti.
Finally, you will enter Piazza dei Signori: the main square of Vicenza, with the Loggia del Capitaniato and the Basilica Palladiana.
The square is surrounded by the lively squares where the market takes place, and where the people of Vicenza chill out when it is finally time for their aperitif. We hope there will be some time left ... so we could reach the Berici Hills for a souvenir photo before heading to Bassano del Grappa, where you will walk crossing the Ponte degli Alpini over the Brenta river.
After visiting one of the most famous distilleries, you can taste a good glass of grappa
