Compiled by
MelissaItalian Lakes District travel expert at TourRadar
10 Day Italy & Switzerland Itinerary, incl. Venice and Zurich
Two memorable days at Italian Lakes include a full-day Lake Como excursion from Milan. Hop-on/hop-off boats connect charming lakeside villages, with time to visit Como's historic center and local boutiques. Luxuriate at the stylish NYX Hotel Milan.
- Days 1-2
Venice
Plan two full days in this unique city. Book an afternoon arrival to avoid morning cruise ship crowds and take a shared water taxi from the airport to your hotel. Get to St. Mark's Square early on day two before 9 AM to avoid tour groups. The included 30-minute gondola ride through quiet back canals is best enjoyed with the audio commentary app. Download it before you arrive to avoid any connection problems.
- Day 3
Venice to Milan
The high-speed train from Santa Lucia Station to Milan takes about 2.5 hours. Visit the Duomo when you arrive the lines are usually shortest between 2-4 PM. Buy a rooftop ticket for excellent city views. Spend your evening in the Navigli district, where you can join locals enjoying aperitivo along the canals.
- Day 4
Lake Como Day Trip
It's a quick 40-minute regional train ride from Milan to Como. Your hop-on-hop-off boat ticket lets you explore the lake. Start early to see multiple stops. Visit Bellagio first thing when the morning light makes for great photos. Return to Como city by late afternoon with time to visit the silk shops.
- Day 5
Milan to Lugano
Cross the Swiss border to Lugano by morning train (about 1.5 hours). Your Swiss Travel Pass starts today. Take a walk on the flower-lined lakeside promenade and through the old town. Use your pass for a boat trip to Gandria, a small village known for its charming narrow streets.
- Day 6
Lugano to Lucerne
Take the Gotthard Panorama Express route with its mix of rail and boat travel. If your trip falls on a Monday when this route doesn't run, you'll take the regular train instead. Visit the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne at sunset when it's less crowded.
- Day 7
Lucerne
Your Swiss Travel Pass covers mountain trips. Take the first cogwheel train up Mount Pilatus to beat the crowds. If you prefer a quieter experience, Mount Rigi offers similar views with fewer people.
- Days 8-9
Interlaken & Jungfrau Region
The scenic Interlaken Express train takes you from Lucerne. Stay in Interlaken for two nights to explore the Bernese Oberland. On day 9, catch an early train to Grindelwald. Get to the First Cliff Walk before 10 AM to avoid the crowds.
- Day 10
Interlaken to Zurich
The morning train to Zurich takes about 2 hours. Pick a seat on the left side for the best lake views. Spend your final hours walking along Lake Zurich's promenade and exploring the Old Town.
10 Day Europe Football Tour Itinerary, incl. Amsterdam and Milan
San Siro Stadium reveals Italian football heritage as home to AC Milan. Players' tunnels, trophy rooms, and AC Milan Museum await visitors. The tour pairs with Milan highlights including the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.
- Days 1-3
Amsterdam & Johan Cruyff Arena
Land in Amsterdam and get settled at your hotel. The city center isn't huge but can be tricky to navigate. Pick up a free map from your hotel and mark the main tram lines. Start day 2 with a 2.5-hour walking tour from Beursplein. Pack good walking shoes since Amsterdam's cobblestones can be rough on your feet. The tour will help you understand the canal system so you can find your way around better later. On day 3 visit the Johan Cruyff Arena. Take metro line 54 from Centraal Station for a 15-minute ride. A day ticket is better value than single fares. Tours start at 10:30 AM and you'll see the Ajax dressing room, players' tunnel and trophy room. If you want Ajax gear, stop at the museum shop first before the tour crowds arrive.
- Days 4-6
Munich & Allianz Arena
Take the morning train to Munich which takes about 7 hours. Check flight prices too as Lufthansa sometimes offers deals around $120. Munich's public transport works really well. Get a 3-day IsarCard to cover all your trips. Start by exploring Munich's Old Town on foot in the morning. Then spend a full day at the Allianz Arena. Take the U6 subway to Fröttmaning station. You can't miss the stadium with its color-changing walls. A recent visitor said: "The stadium tour feels incredibly intimate - you actually get to sit in the same spots where Bayern's stars prepare for matches. The press room was my highlight."
- Days 7-10
Milan & San Siro
The train ride to Milan takes about 6 hours through beautiful Alpine landscapes. Use your first full day to see the city by hop-on-hop-off bus. It's a good way to understand Milan's circular layout. Plan a full morning for the San Siro stadium. Take the M5 metro to San Siro Stadio station. Get there when it opens at 9:30 AM to beat the crowds. Bring a light jacket to the San Siro even in warm weather since it gets cool inside. Between September and May you might catch a live AC Milan or Inter Milan game. You can buy tickets on the clubs' websites about 2 weeks before matches.
Best of the Italian Lakes

What people love about 10 Day Italian Lakes District Tours
This was actually the first long tour I ever took in my life. So I didn't have any expectations. Overall, I would recommend this itinerary, it was excellent! Accommodations were good, buses were comfy, food wasn't great but average. Tour guide was a lot of fun! You had an opportunity to be active or relax which was nice. And the nature and beauty of the lakes and mountains can't be beat.

We had a fantastic time We had a fantastic time. Everything was organised perfectly. Hotels were in great locations and transport to and from hotels was excellent. Communication through Whatsapp was great. We would like to mention that our local tourguide in Venice (Denise) was the best. All in all a fantastic holiday and we willl book withh Tourradar again.
- Enchanting Waters: Discovering the Lakes of Italy, Self-Drive
Overall this was a lovely holiday. The car and hotels were of a high standard. Some more information about how to use tolls would have been helpful. The hotel in Stresa was excellent and in a great location. The holiday at Lake Garda was lovely but not in a great location as it took much longer to get to Verona as we were a way up the west side of the lake. Overall other than the crowds of people everywhere it was a well organised and great holiday
