Let’s face it, after the events of the last 18 months, many of us have found ourselves dreaming of sun, sea and sand. Here at Rayburn Tours we’re all about helping dreams become reality, so with that in mind, could the beautiful Lake Garda in Italy be the perfect destination for your 2022 Youth Music Tour?
We think so…and here’s why!
The Climate
It goes without saying, that the lure of the glorious Mediterranean climate is greater than ever before, and Lake Garda offers it in bucket-loads. The weather, the scenery, the friendly locals, this region has it all.
Picturesque Concert Venues
With long, hot summers, Lake Garda lends itself perfectly to bands and choirs with a light and lively repertoire looking for performances in scenic hilltop towns and historic lakeside piazzas.
Lazise
This pretty lakeside town is home to not one, but two beautiful squares that make the perfect stage for a concert. The main square, Piazza Marconi, sits in the centre of town with the stunning lake as your backdrop.
Gardone
Another lakeside square, but this time in the beautiful town of Gardone. The square is well-known locally for running a fantastic summer calendar of events so locals look forward to being entertained.
Levico Terme
This stunning spa town is a hot-spot for tourists during the summer months and is home to one of our favourite concert venues in the area. Every Tuesday during the summer, the square in front of the church assemble a stage and play host to a concert series. It provides the perfect venue for an atmospheric, outdoor concert that is usually well-attended by an appreciative audience.
Plenty to see and do…
Our top picks include:
- A boat trip on Lake Garda
- Gardaland Theme Park
- Caneva Aquapark
One of our group’s favourites: Verona Day Trip
It’s definitely worth a day trip to this beautiful city. Wander through the streets and simply take in the sights, and be sure to visit Juliet’s House and see the very balcony where Shakespeare set the most famous love scene in literature. Another great experience for groups visiting in July is seeing an Opera at the Arena – often a highlight for groups and a unique experience they’ll always remember.
Jam-packed itinerary or relaxed holiday vibe?
What’s so great about Lake Garda is it’s perfect for everyone, regardless of the type of trip you’re looking for. If you set out to have a jam-packed itinerary with sightseeing, water parks and theme parks galore, then Lake Garda has you covered. Equally, you can opt for a more relaxed vibe where your itinerary will include lots of free time to meander through beautiful towns, have an ice cream (or 5!) and spend some time simply relaxing in the hotel pool. Or somewhere inbetween…the choice is yours!
