HISTORY AND AMAZING GARDENS

In the morning you’ll leave your hotel to reach this wonderful city on board of an air conditioned coach with the attendance of our tour leader. On arrival in Mantova, emblem of the splendours of Gonzaga’s Family, you will  meet your guide for a walking tour inside the city center to admire the works of three important artists of the Italian Renaissance such as Leon Battista Alberti, Andrea Mantegna and Giulio Romano: Palazzo Ducale, Gonzaga’s Palace, today a museum, Piazza Sordello and Palazzo Tè. Early in the afternoon, departure for Parco Giardino Sigurtà, close to Lake Garda. This park covers an area of 600.000 square meters and offers the visitors flourishing green gardens, an extraordinary labyrinth of hedges made up of trees, pictoresque water gardens, and a great oak, the oldest one in Parco Giardino Sigurtà. Return to your hotel.

The flower is hidden in the grass, but the wind scatters its scent.
