Highlights of Northern Italy: Turin, Milan, Venice, and Lake Como Tour

First, you’ll take a private transfer from Milan-Malpensa Airport to Turin, Italy’s fourth-largest city. Once described by Corbusier as “the city with the most beautiful natural location in the world,” Turin sits at the base of the Alps, wooing visitors with its elegant architecture and wide boulevards. It’s a great place to start your tour, as it is quintessentially Italian and has a less touristy vibe compared to other parts of Italy. Turin’s city’s palaces - the Palazzo Reale and the Palazzo Madama - are well worth visiting. 

Next, you’ll travel First Class on the train to Milan, Italy’s economic powerhouse and fashion capital. Your Tourlane Travel Expert will organize a private guided Milan city tour for you, where you’ll discover famous attractions such as the spectacular Duomo cathedral, the chic Galleria shopping arcade (perfect for those looking to shop), and La Scala opera house. If you’re interested in art, visit the Fondazione Prada - an exceptional contemporary art museum just outside the city center. In the evening, the Naviglio area is a great place to look for restaurants and bars. 

Lake Como is one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful locations in Italy - in a country full of natural wonders! You’ll arrive in the lakeside town of Como by train, where your English-speaking guide will begin your private tour of Lake Como. You’ll discover medieval ruins, opulent villas, and quaint villages like Bellagio, while cruising the waters of the lake itself. Once you’re back on dry land, ride the funicular train up the mountain to Brunate for the best views of your entire tour of Italy. 

Made up of 118 islands in a lagoon of the Adriatic Sea, Venice is one of the most astonishing and unique cities in Europe. During your visit, you’ll explore its endless waterways that wind through the city’s Renaissance and Gothic architecture on a private gondola ride. It’s the perfect place to end your tour of northern Italy.
