Venice
“Venice is truly one of a kind, with its shimmering canals and charm. I recommend beginning your visit at St. Mark’s Square to take in the stunning Basilica and the Doge’s Palace. Then, hop on a gondola for a ride through the canals. It’s a classic experience that always delights. I also suggest venturing into the quieter neighborhoods, where you’ll find hidden churches and cozy bacari (wine bars). The Gritti Palace on the Grand Canal is an unforgettable place to stay.“

Verona
“Verona is the ultimate city of romance, forever tied to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I recommend starting your visit at the ancient Roman Arena, which still hosts concerts and events. From there, take a stroll through Piazza delle Erbe, where the lively market and historic façades create a vibrant atmosphere. Juliet’s balcony may be touristy, yet it remains a charming stop. I suggest wrapping up your day with a glass of Amarone, the region’s famous red wine. For an overnight stay, the Due Torri Hotel in the historic center is a wonderful choice.”

Bolzano
“Bolzano is the perfect gateway to the Dolomites, where Italian and Tyrolean cultures come together. I recommend starting with a stroll through the charming arcaded streets, dotted with inviting cafés and unique boutiques. The mountains are always in sight, and a cable car ride is a must for the stunning panoramic views. For a stylish stay, I suggest the Parkhotel Laurin, a refined Art Nouveau hotel in the city center.”
