Venetia & Lake Garda Music Tours

Nestling at the North end of the Adriatic, magical Venice, formerly the personal fiefdom of the Doges, and the heart of a sea-based empire, is a maze of canals and waterways, churches and crumbling palaces. Founded in the 6th Century, after the Fall of Rome, this most graceful of cities is a living museum of superb architecture which is quite unique in the world.

It has a plethora of beautiful churches including Santa Theresa, Madonna dell Orto, the breathtaking St Marks Cathedral, and St John's and St. Paul's Basilica, which are ideally suited to choirs and orchestras with sacred repertoires. For those groups wishing to explore the Venetian hinterland, we have access to fine venues in Verona, Vicenza, Treviso and San Dona.

We strongly recommend Lido di Jesolo, just 45 kilometres by coach from Venice, as a destination resort for youth music groups. Cosmopolitan and fun, the Lido offers hotels with private beaches, and activities such as mini golf, bowling, pedalos and go karting. It also offers a host of outdoor venues which are particularly suited to concert bands.

Equity Travel also organises high quality music tours to the beautiful resorts along the shores of Lake Garda.
