If you’re looking for a scenic and relaxing getaway, this is one for you! On this break, we journey to two of Europe’s most picturesque regions, including one of Italy’s most spectacular lakes – Lake Garda. Known for its breeze-rippled azure waters and pretty lakeside resorts, it’s a wonderful place to unwind. This is combined with time exploring Austria – from snow-dusted peaks to beautiful cities such as Salzburg and Innsbruck, there is plenty to discover. We also have the option to visit the stunning city of Venice.
ITINERARY Day 1 Ferry to Calais and overnight stay in France on a bed and breakfast basis. Day 2 Continue to our hotel in the Lake Garda area, where we stay for the next four nights.

The beautifully-preserved Old Town is overlooked by the Hohensalzburg Castle offering panoramic views over Salzburg. The city is also the birthplace of Mozart and was the setting for parts of the film The Sound of Music.
