Just over an hour and a half from the Hotel Villa Florida, you can visit two extraordinary cities of art in northern Italy: Mantua and Bergamo.
Mantua, surrounded by three lakes, is a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.
It was the residence of the Gonzaga family, who enriched it with palaces and works of art: the Ducal Palace, Mantegna’s Camera degli Sposi and Giulio Romano’s Palazzo Te are unmissable destinations.
Bergamo, on the other hand, stands out for its charming Upper Town, enclosed by Venetian walls and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Its medieval streets, squares and ancient churches exude an authentic and timeless charm.
These are two perfect excursions for those staying on Lake Garda who want to combine culture, history and Italian beauty.
