This is the perfect holiday for travelers who wish to visit a specific region in-depth and learn more about the culture, food, and traditions of this part of Italy. Start your Northern Italy trip in Milan and enjoy guided sightseeing tours in the main cities like Milan and Turin. But this holiday offers much more and to everyone’s taste! For instance, enjoy a balsamic vinegar tasting in Modena, followed by a walk into the lively centre to take pictures of the cathedral where Pavarotti’s funeral was held. Visit the Ferrari Gallery in Maranello and a marble quarry in Carrara, where the marble Michelangelo used for his statues originated. Enjoy an excursion (including boat ride, weather permitting) to the world-famous Cinque Terre area, A UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name dates back to the 15th century and is derived from five medieval little villages standing on stony spurs along the Mediterranean coast. Next, you have an orientation drive in Genoa, Columbus’ birthplace, and a Barbera wine tasting in Asti. Visit a rice factory in Vercelli before ending your tour back in Milan. This is an unforgettable and unique holiday experience in Northern Italy!
