Spend the next day roaming the city centre and exploring Marienplatz, the city’s central square since 1158. If you are an art fan, visit the Alte Pinakothek, one of the oldest galleries in the world featuring works of da Vinci, Rubens, Rembrandt, and more.

Sexten

Transfer to the legendary peaks of Sexten Mountain Range. On your journey, consider stopping at the abbey of Abbazia di Novella. Built in the 12th century, the grounds feature a library, chapel, and one of the oldest wineries in the world; cellar tours and tastings are available.

Arrive in Sexten and spend your days embarking on some of the best hikes in the world. Your hotel offers a free guided hiking programme to make planning and coordination effortless. If in need of a break from hiking, consider taking day trips to the many surrounding towns. Travel to the lush town of Cortina if desiring more scenic views, or the medieval town of Lienz. Explore the lovely walled-streets surrounded by the Dolomites, visit Bruck Castle, and enjoy a leisurely kayak along the river.

 
Suggested Accommodation: Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort

Corvara in Badia

Move onwards to the largest town in Alta Badia Valley, Corvara. Enjoy the many hikes and walking tours in the area, including the famous peak of Lagazuoi. This was a major point of conflict in WW1 and offers many hiking and climbing possibilities. The “Frontline Trail” is a large and well signposted path that follows the front line between the Italian and Austrian soldiers during World War 1 on Mount Lagazuoi.

Spend one of your days driving over the Gardena pass to Selva di Val Gardena. Ride the Plan de Gralba cable car into the clouds to have lunch at Rifugio Emilio Comici for seafood with a background of stunning mountain views.

 
Suggested Accommodation: Hotel Marmolada

Venice

After all the hard work from hiking, kick back and relax in the timeless city of Venice. Enjoy a private “behind the scenes” walking tour, learning about the incredible engineering over the centuries required to turn a once marshy lagoon into this stunning island city. Complete the tour by visiting remarkable St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, and see where Casanova was led over the Bridge of Sighs. Spend your final day at your own leisure, but make sure to live like a true Venetian by enjoying a gondola ride through the canals!

 
Suggested Accommodation: Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal

The GHardy team planned the perfect family vacation to Italy for us! The hotels, private tours and excursions were all exceptional and exactly what we were hoping for! We didn’t have to stress over anything - we just showed up and there was always someone to meet us. We also took great comfort knowing if any issue did arise, the G/Hardy Tours team, as well as a 24/7 emergency contact on the ground in Italy were always a message or call away.

Our family vacation to Greece, which included Athens, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos, was unforgettable! The accommodations were lovely and centrally located to maximize our time at all of the hot spot destinations. Our private guides were very informative with all of the history and culture that Greece has to offer. Various transportation needs were met through planes, boats and private transfers which made travel effortless from one destination to the next. Thank you GHardy Tours for putting together a remarkable experience for the whole family to enjoy and providing memories to last a lifetime.
