Northern Italy Tour with Turkish Airlines, Winter Season, 3 Nights 4 Days 2026
Day 1: Istanbul – Milan
Meeting at 05:00 in front of the Turkish Airlines counter at Istanbul New Airport international departures terminal. After check-in procedures, we depart for Milan at 08:15 on Turkish Airlines scheduled flight TK 1873. After our arrival at 09:05, we take our bus waiting for us and begin our Milan city tour. More than being attractive, Milan is an elegant city; more than being creative, it is a wealthy city. It is undoubtedly the lifeblood of the Italian economy and one of Italy’s most worth-seeing cities. In our Milan city tour, we will see one of the city’s historical monuments, Milan Castle ‘Castello Sforzesco’, and the ‘Galleria’, which left its mark on the 19th-century Industrial Revolution and is also known as Europe’s first covered shopping arcade. The famous French engineer Gustave Eiffel was inspired by this structure for the construction of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Duomo, where Gothic art can be seen intensively, is the fourth largest church in the world with its exterior façade consisting of more than 2,000 sculptures. On the streets known as the center of fashion, ‘via monte napoleone’ and ‘via la spiga’, you can see the richness of the shop windows. After the tour, our guests who wish may join the Como Lake and Town Tour. Transfer to our hotel and overnight at the hotel.

Day 2 Milan – Pisa – Florence – Montecatini
After breakfast, we depart towards Florence. On the way, our guests who wish may join the Pisa Tour. Known in history as the place where the Renaissance was born, Florence, which shaped the history of European art and thought, is one of the most important cultural centers not only of Italy but of the world. Rising under the patronage of the Medici family, this city was the birthplace and creative center of many geniuses such as Dante Alighieri, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Botticelli. It also played a leading role throughout history in banking, textiles, and art; and for a period served as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. On our city tour, we will see the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo), one of Florence’s masterpieces combining Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and the Baptistery with its impressive exterior façade, Giotto’s Bell Tower, Signoria Square, considered the political center of the city, Palazzo Vecchio (Signoria Palace) in the square, the sculpture-adorned Loggia dei Lanzi, the Uffizi Square hosting world-famous collections, Ponte Vecchio Bridge, notable for its historic and elegant structure over the Arno River, Piazza della Repubblica, which blends the city’s modern and historical texture, and San Lorenzo Market, known for its local products.

Day 3 Florence – Verona & Garda – Venice
After breakfast, we depart towards Venice. Our guests who wish may join the Verona & Lake Garda Tour on the way. After our tour, we continue to Venice. From Tronchetto port, the last transportation point for vehicles, we head to the historic island by vaporetto. After an enjoyable Vaporetto ride, we get off at a point near San Marco Square, the historical center of the city, and begin our tour among the canals. Here, all vehicles we are used to seeing in daily life such as police cars, ambulances, garbage trucks, municipal buses, etc. have been replaced by boats. While walking from the Slaves’ Shore to San Marco Square, you can see the Venice prison and the “Ponte dei Sospiri” Bridge of Sighs connecting the prison and the Doge’s Palace, San Giorgio Island directly opposite the bridge, the twin columns called the city’s gateway in the square on the main façade of the Doge’s Palace, and the sculptures on these columns that symbolize Venice. The square where St. Mark’s Basilica is located was called “the most beautiful square in the world” by Napoleon. Although the construction of the basilica was completed in the 9th century, it took until the 17th century to reach its present form. The 4 bronze horses you will see on the main façade were brought from Istanbul after the Second Crusades. During your free time, you can watch the statues on top of the clock tower strike the bell every hour and climb the bell tower to enjoy a panoramic view of all Venice from above. Also, our guests who wish may join the extra Burano Island Tour. After our tour, free time. Then transfer to our hotel, room distribution, and overnight at our Venice hotel.

Passing through Verona shopping streets paved with marble to show its wealth, we see the palace where Dante Alighieri lived during his exile. After seeing the Scaligero tomb of the family that ruled Verona, we pan out to see the house where Romeo and Juliet, which inspired English playwright William Shakespeare, were born.

In Garda, which enchants with its natural beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and lake view, you can walk along the lakeside, photograph unique landscapes, and enjoy the cool breeze.
