Where to go after the Dolomites
A friend and I are going to hike the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites in Northern Italy. We will have three extra days before we fly out of Venice. What would be the best use of our extra time?

After the week in the Dolomites (excellent choice) you might want to hop down to Bologna for the remainder of the time. Great food (another recent post on this site regarding it) and a short 3 hour train ride from Tirano to Bologna (with a change in Verona.) The travel time to Venice is 1 1/2 hours on a direct train.
Beautiful little city with much history. I visited twice within one year, both in winter and fall. Or as HappyTrvlr suggested, go on to Venice. Either choice is an excellent one.

I always hit Submit too quickly. Someday we will get an Edit feature here.
In any case, you might think about what you would like: art, architecture, history, food, wine, or water sports and a beautiful lake with nice scenery.
On the one hand, any of the famous towns of the Veneto; on the other, Lake Garda. We had a great time in Riva del Garda, but picked it for our own reasons, which included being on the way from Verona to the Dolomites, parking at a decent hotel with good prices and a pool, and relaxing between city sightseeing and hiking in the Dolomites.
We spent most of our time there swimming, taking boat rides around the lake, and eating.
