🚗🇮🇹 Ditching Venice & Milan for Verona & Lake Garda!

#summervacay
We decided to skip the crowds and potential pickpockets in Milan and Venice! As soon as we picked up our rental car, we headed straight for Verona, and from there, embarked on an unforgettable journey around Lake Garda.

Driving along the crystal-blue waters was pure bliss! We easily avoided the main tourist hordes, truly soaking in the authentic Italian lake district lifestyle and local vibe. The scenic ring road offered incredible views at every turn, letting us pull over and snap photos whenever we pleased – it was incredibly relaxing! 🏞️📸

Our first stop from Verona was the breathtaking cliffside church, Madonna della Corona. This church is literally embedded into a vertical cliff face – it's an absolutely spectacular sight (as seen in Photo 1)! Getting there involves walking a pilgrimage path, but don't worry, it's not a difficult trek.

If you're looking for an Italian adventure that combines stunning natural beauty with a more local, relaxed pace, the Verona and Lake Garda region is an absolute must-do!
