Venice & Verona: Day Trip from Milan at Verona and Lake Garda Day Trips from Milan

About Venice & Verona: Day Trip from Milan

Venice and Verona: Day Trip from Milan is a guided day excursion departing from Milan's Piazza Duca d'Aosta, covering two of northern Italy's most visited cities in a single 13-hour-30-minute itinerary. The trip travels by train into Venice, a city built across 118 small islands connected by canals and bridges, before continuing to Verona, a Roman-era city on the Adige River whose medieval centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The bilingual guided tour runs in both Spanish and English, making it accessible to a broad range of travellers. Train tickets are included in the booking, so there is no need to arrange rail travel separately.

What to expect

In Venice, the itinerary takes in St. Mark's Square and St. Mark's Basilica, the Byzantine cathedral begun in the 9th century whose facade features four bronze horses above the central portal. The surrounding square, framed by the Doge's Palace and the Campanile, is the civic heart of the city. From there, the route follows the canal network through the historic centre.

In Verona, the group walks along the Adige River to the Ponte Scaligero, a 14th-century fortified bridge built by the Scaligeri lords, before visiting the courtyard on Via Cappello known as Juliet's balcony. Entry to individual monuments is not included; the tour covers guided access to both city centres with a bilingual guide throughout.

Piazza Duca d'Aosta and getting there

The trip departs from Piazza Duca d'Aosta, the square directly in front of Milano Centrale railway station, one of the main transport hubs for Milan attractions and intercity rail connections. Milano Centrale is served by metro lines M2 and M3 and by regional and high-speed rail. For further options departing from the city, see the Verona and Lake Garda Day Trips from Milan schedule.
