Private Europe Tour (SWS009) Italy - Switzerland - France 6 Days 5 Nights

We will be waiting to welcome you at Milan Airport in Italy, then take you to explore Milan, the fashion capital of the world. You will admire the grandeur of the Duomo Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. Construction began in 1386 and took 427 years to complete. It is built almost entirely of marble, standing 157 meters tall and 92 meters wide. The roof and the outside of the building are decorated with 135 spires topped with statues of various saints, and a 4-meter-tall statue of the Virgin Mary covered entirely in gold stands at the very top.

Stroll through Piazza Duomo, the square in front of the cathedral, where an equestrian statue of King Vittorio Emanuele II (Victor Emmanuel II in English) stands in the middle of the wide plaza. He was the man who founded the country of Italy by uniting the various regions into one nation.

Go shopping at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a luxurious and magnificent building that is the oldest shopping mall in the world. It was built in 1865 and named in honor of King Vittorio Emanuele II. It is an iron-framed building covered in glass, with a dome in the center of the roof. The floor is paved with marble and granite, and the walls are decorated with beautiful mosaics and stucco patterns. There are many fashion shops, especially famous Italian luxury brands, as well as restaurants and cafés.

Then we continue to Lake Como, 84 kilometers from Milan, about 1 hour 40 minutes by road. Lake Como lies in northern Italy and was a filming location for a James Bond movie. It is the third largest lake in Italy and is close to the Swiss border. We will take you to see the most famous charming towns around Lake Como, such as Bellagio and Varenna, and take a water taxi to see the villas in the middle of the lake.
