Holiday Itinerary
DAY 1: UK - Venice area.
Fly to Venice where you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for an overnight stay. (D)
DAY 2: Venice area - Trieste - Postojna - Ljubljana - Bled area.
This morning, leave Venice on your way to Trieste, a historic city close to the Slovenian border, which was once one of Europe's leading centres of music and literature. Enjoy a panoramic drive around this lovely city with its cathedrals, castles and main square before crossing into Slovenia towards Postojna, famed for its spectacular caves. Here, you'll experience a tour of this atmospheric cave system, believed to be 4 million years old and one of the world's most impressive underground networks. Afterwards, head north to the capital Ljubljana, with its charming castle and old quarter, before motoring through majestic countryside into the area around beautiful Lake Bled for a two-night stay. (B, D)
DAY 3: Bled.
Fashionable Bled stands on idyllic Lake Bled, a stunning two kilometre long lake of turquoise waters framed by the snow-capped Karavanke Mountains, which form the natural boundary between Slovenia and Austria. Today, you'll have time to explore this magnificent setting in your own way. Whatever you do, don't miss our optional excursion to soak up the best of your breathtaking surroundings. (B)
DAY 4: Bled area - Villach - Spittal - Salzburg.
Bid farewell to the Bled area this morning to visit Villach a celebrated and pretty spa town scenically set on Austria's Drava river. From here, we pass through even more awe-inspiring mountain scenery to Salzburg, our base for the next two nights, arriving at our hotel in the early evening. (B)
DAY 5: Salzburg.
The place of Mozart's birth and the 'Sound of Music', graceful Salzburg bursts with Baroque splendour and the skyline, composed of medieval spires, is dominated by the imposing 11th century Hohensalzburg Castle. Today, why not take the opportunity to make the most of this charming city on an optional, locally guided tour of its major landmarks? This afternoon, enjoy more spectacular scenery on an excursion to the shores of Lake Wolfgang for an idyllic boat trip over its waters, before returning to your hotel. (B, D)
DAY 6: Salzburg - Grossglockner - Dolomites area.
Another day of scenic wonder as we travel along the spectacular Grossglockner mountain road to the Dolomites. En-route, you'll stop to admire the impossibly romantic Alpine panoramas around you before the scenery gradually changes into the mighty landscapes of the Dolomites. Thanks to the unique geology of this rugged, canyon-filled range, these haunting, hulking mountains turn dusky pink at sunset, giving them a mystical aura and linking them to many an enchanting local legend. Overnight in a hotel in the area. (B, D)
DAY 7: Dolomites area - Cortina - Venice.
Today, enjoy a scenic drive back into Italy to the 'Pearl of the Dolomites', Cortina. One of Italy's top alpine and ski resorts, Cortina lies in a magnificent valley surrounded by meadows, pine woods and the soaring peaks of the Tyrolean Dolomites. After a stop in this picturesque town, we descend to the Venetian plains on our way to the wonder that is Venice. This exquisite city sits on a honeycomb of little canals and makes an unforgettable sight with its entrancing arched bridges, ornate palaces, quiet piazzas, grand churches and legendary gondolas. Relish its elaborate architecture and romantic atmosphere on a canal boat ride to majestic St Mark's Square, the heart of this incredible city. Overnight in the Venice area. (B, D)
DAY 8: Venice - UK.
Transfer to Venice airport for your flight to the UK. (B)
