Description:

Journey by train to the enchanting city of Mantua. Explore its historic city center—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and learn about the reign of the Gonzaga family. As you cruise by riverboat along the calm waters of the Mincio, admire the towers and domes of the ancient city skyline.

Hop on a train and disembark Mantua just 2 short hours later. Surrounded on 3 sides by serene lakes, Mantua is renowned for its historical and architectural treasures, including the magnificent Baroque Duomo with its lovely rose windows, the noble residence and gardens of the Palazzo Ducale, and the colonnaded courtyards and mannerist frescoes of the Palazzo del Te.

Wander the winding streets of the city’s old town and marvel at its stately Renaissance buildings and charming cobblestone piazzas. Hear about the history of the city during the reign of the Gonzaga family, when Mantua became a significant center of Renaissance art and humanism. Your expert local guide has plenty of interesting facts and little-known anecdotes to share with you.

Next, admire the views from a different perspective with a river cruise along the Mincio, taking in panoramic city views from the water. Spot towers, domes, and stretches of idyllic parkland before returning to Mantua for some free time to explore the city at your leisure. Your return train ticket is open, so you can head back to Milan later in the day.
