Stretching across the northern section of Italy, the Italian Lakes are a collection of paradisiacal bodies of water nestled among jagged mountains, quaint towns, and vast stretches of verdant grassland.

The temperate year-round climate makes a holiday to the Italian Lakes an ideal year-round choice, and with Newmarket Holidays you can see the very best of this vast, stunning area, from Lake Garda's varied shoreline to stylish Lake Como.

Whether you’re into fine dining, walks along the waterfront, or lounging by lapping lakes with a good book, the Italian Lakes are an ideal travel destination. The spectacular scenery is matched only by a long, storied history, and bettered by the phenomenal cuisine on offer – especially if you’re willing to venture into the small towns and villages that dot the region.

While the Italian Lakes are a prime place to relax, the region is drowning in amazing things to see and do, and an Italian Lakes tour with Newmarket Holidays can show you the best of the region. It doesn’t stop with swimming days and sightseeing, the mountain ranges that cut through the region are home to hikes for walkers of all abilities, and deliver panoramic views of this little slice of Italian heaven.
