Kuoni Travel   -   City trip Verona
Verona is located on the flat landscape of the Veneto plain, dramatically neighbouring the spectacular Dolomite Mountains and Lake Garda. It is the second biggest city in the Veneto region and the most prosperous in northern Italy. Favoured by the Romans in 89BC, once called "piccola Roma" (little Rome).

Kuoni Travel   -  City trip Venice
Lying in the northeast of Italy in the lush Veneto region, Venice has been the gateway to the Orient for centuries. Historians say that Venice was born of adversity as inhabitants of the Veneto region fled from Attila the Hun to take refuge in the shallow lagoon. Modern Venice is easily accessible on foot, but for the less energetic, or the more romantic, travelling by water on a gondola or convenient (and less expensive) water taxi, is a must to view the various islets and sights this city boasts.
