Excursions

Arena di Verona

One of the most powerful cities during the early rule of the Roman Empire, the old city of Verona is one of the best-preserved sections in the country.

Gardaland

Enjoy a fun-filled day out with your team at Italy’s top theme park! Gardaland is often rated one of the best theme parks in the world. There’s certainly plenty to do here, from adrenaline pumping rollercoasters to the more sedate but no less exciting Sea Life Centre.

Boat Trip - Lake Garda

What better to see Lake Garda than from the lake itself. Taking a boat cruise from Riva del Garda to Limone or Malcesine is not only a lovely way to spend an hour or so, but can be used instead of using the coach which you pick up later in the day.

Casa di Giulietta

Are you a fan of Shakespeare? Then you can't miss a visit to Juliet's house while on your school trip to Verona! As well as the famous balcony, there is a small museum with renaissance-era costumes and the bed used in Franco Zeffirelli's film adaptation.

Pro 14 match - Zebre or Benetton Treviso

Take the opportunity to see Pro 14 sides Zebre or Benetton Treviso play on your school rugby tour to Verona!
