Highlights:
A Night of Opera at Arena di Verona
Dating back to the 1st century AD, Verona's historic Roman amphitheatre transforms into a magical open-air stage during the summer opera festival. Join 22,000 spectators to witness captivating performances set against the backdrop of the starlit sky.
The Bernina Red Train
Not only does it bring together the alpine charm of St. Moritz and the green pastures of Chur, it also links the different languages and cultures of Switzerland, one of Europe’s most visually spectacular countries, and Italy, the land of La Dolce Vita. The train ascends one of the highest railways in the mountains, amid shimmering glaciers, before descending to the palm-fringed lakeshores of Italy.
Once you arrive in Tirano, there’s an additional bus service to Lugano, back in Switzerland, passing along the glittering shores of Lake Como and Lake Lugano. This is a shorter journey, so there are no luxury cabins or overnight stops, just a relaxing seat for whistle-stop tour of the Alps and a choice of refreshments on board.
Life on board the Bernina Red Train
Enjoy relaxing seating in a choice of First- or Second-Class coaches, both with vast panoramic windows to enjoy the spectacular views. This unique journey is full of wonderful touches, from the spectacular circular viaduct in Brusio that winds gracefully around 360 degrees to the exclusive Bernina Red Train iced tea and Lindt chocolate hearts in a Bernina Red Train souvenir box that each passenger receives.
