Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Welcome to Turin

    Welcome to Turin, the starting point for a journey through Italy’s northern countryside and lakes. Meet your Travel Director and fellow travellers and get to know one another over dinner, sharing your first taste of regional flavours.

  2. 2

    Explore Elegant Turin

    Get your bearings on a city tour of Turin with a Local Specialist, taking in piazzas, wide boulevards and baroque architecture. The afternoon is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Stroll the arcaded streets, sip a rich bicerin at a cafe or join an Optional Experience to an UNESCO-listed palace, built by the Royal House of Savoy as a pleasure palace for entertaining. This evening, perhaps join an Optional Experience for dinner at a local restaurant near Turin.

  3. 3

    Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore

    Start your day at Lago d’Orta, with time for a coffee by the water and views of the island and the Alps beyond. Continue along Lake Maggiore, following the shoreline past pastel villas and wooded hills to Stresa, where you can enjoy free time or join an Optional Experience to the Borromean Islands, group of private isles once home to aristocratic families. Later, arrive in Erba, gateway to the Lombardy countryside, where you may choose to round off the day with an Optional Experience dinner on the shores of Lake Pusiano.

  4. 4

    Admire Beautiful Lake Como

    Spend the day in Como, with plenty of time to explore at your own pace. You might take the funicular up to Brunate for panoramic views, browse local boutiques or relax by the lake with a gelato. For a different perspective, you can join an Optional Experience with a Local Specialist to learn about the history, culture and villas of Lake Como.

  5. 5

    Continue to Lake Garda

    Explore the upper town of Bergamo, where medieval streets lead to Piazza Vecchia, once the heart of civic life. See the Contarini Fountain and Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, built in the 12th century as a tribute to the Virgin Mary. Walk past Renaissance facades before travelling into the Lake Garda area. After checking into your hotel, enjoy some free time to wander around the local area at your own pace or join an Optional Experience to see more of Lake Garda.

  6. 6

    Admire Ferraris in Modena

    Your day starts with an introduction to the gastronomic hub of Modena, home of sparkling Lambrusco, salty prosciutto and the aromas of parmigiano, for an exploration with a Local Specialist. Wander past pastel-hued facades in the heart of the city that was the birthplace of Ferrari, Pavarotti and tortellini. Modena's Old Town and the Piazza Grande with its 12th-century cathedral and Torre Civica, has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the day continues, visit the Enzo Ferrari Museum where you'll Dive into Culture and explore the history of this Italian icon. Enjoy a gourmet interlude at a historic, traditional Acetaia on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience to taste the delicious flavours of some of the world’s best organic and biodynamic balsamic vinegar. Settle in for a leisurely dinner with your travelling companions and Travel Director.

  7. 7

    Explore Verona

    Romance is in the air today as you journey to Verona, the home of Shakespeare’s tragic star-crossed lovers. A walking tour with a Local Specialist introduces you to the city’s remarkable architecture and elegant piazzas, as well as the impressive Roman arena, still in use today. Afterwards, enjoy time at leisure to explore further—admire the medieval towers of Castelvecchio, relax beneath the shady trees of Piazza Bra, or climb Lamberti’s Tower for sweeping views across this beautifully preserved city. Return to your hotel for some rest before continuing to Solferino. Here, you'll enjoy a Be My Guest experience with the Serenelli family at their farm, dining on Lombardy favourites.

  8. 8

    Onwards to Milan

    In search of spires that reach the sky, leave the tranquil lakes behind for the chic northern capital of Milan. Admire the Gothic Duomo, La Scala Opera House and 19th-century Galleria with its glass and iron-domed roof. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure to jostle with the Milanese for your spot in the shopping district of Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga and Via Sant'Andrea. This evening, join your fellow travellers for dinner to celebrate the end of your holiday together.

  9. 9

    Farewell Italy

    Your jaunt through the lakes and countryside of northern Italy has come to an end. Say arrivederci to Italy and your newfound friends.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
