On a little tourist train, we will travel to the Piazza Dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles), where there will be time to admire one, of the well-known Leaning Tower of Pisa.

It comprises of five villages, almost isolated by road, which live on fishing and tourism. We arrive by train, ticket included, to one of its charming towns (normally VERNAZZA, but on busy tourist dates it could be Manarola or Corniglia, very similar towns that are somewhat less crowded). Time to have lunch. Afterward, we travel by train to LEVANTO, where we take the bus to continue to GENOA. Note: The train to Cinque Terre is a regular local railway service, not a tourist service. Sometimes the trains are full (it is not possible to book places on these trains) so it might be necessary, on occasion, to travel standing and not seated. In these cases, we suggest walking to the monumental site (approximately 900 meters).

Note: Due to weather conditions in winter, sometimes the boat to Portofino does not operate, in which case access will be by urban microbus (poor quality service, sometimes long waiting times).
Day 7

Today we see one of the most beautiful scenic areas of Europe, the region of the Italian lakes. First, we will travel to LAKE ORTA in ORTA DE SAN GIULIO, a well-preserved medieval city. We take a train ride to reach the center of the medieval town, and then a boat to the ISLAND OF SAN GIULIO, a little island on the lake with a monastery. After this we go on to LAKE MAGGIORE, making a stop in STRESA, where we have the option to visit the Borromean Islands, and especially ISOLA BELLA with its gardens and palace (closed in the winter). Time for lunch. After lunch, we go on to VERONA. Note: during the winter months the Orta train does not operate. In that case, you will access the medieval town by walking approximately 800 meters from the bus parking lot.
