Explore Funchal's distinctive Madeiran culture with colourful markets and harbour-front walks. Because sometimes, the best way to discover somewhere new is to see where the day takes you.

Recommended activities

Discover our top recommended culture and sightseeing activities:

Make an evening of it with a trip from Lake Garda to Verona for an unforgettable night at the famous Verona Arena. The spectacular Roman amphitheatre comes alive with opera performances throughout the summer, with the season running from mid June to early September and a programme featuring classics such as Verdi’s Aida and Puccini’s Turandot.

It’s a magical way to experience Verona after dark, with the ancient arena providing an unforgettable backdrop for some of the world’s most famous operas. Whether you’re a lifelong opera fan or simply looking for a memorable evening while staying on Lake Garda, this is one for the bucket list.

Salzburg is a city where culture, history, music and natural beauty converge in perfect harmony. Visit the captivating UNESCO World Heritage City and lose yourself in Mirabel Palace Gardens, wander the historic Getreidegasse street in the old town, or visit Mozart's birthplace. Following some time in the city, you'll take a scenic drive to the Sound of Music Church in Mondsee. Along the way, you see countless castles, buildings of historical importance and picturesque lakes.
