Day 1-2: Rome
A true treasure trove of history and romance, Rome is a bucket list-topper for classic European city breaks. Its top sights beg to be discovered - from the epic grounds of Castel Sant'Angelo, to the banks of the Tiber river, to the sprawling vistas from the Belvedere del Gianicolo viewpoint. Don't leave the city without first paying a visit to the lavish Villa Borghese and its grounds, the iconic Pantheon, and the world's most famous gladiator's playground - the Colosseum. As part of your time here, you could opt to enjoy entry to the latter, the Roman Forum museum and Palatine Hill, over a history-packed three-hour duration.
With the nine-night itinerary, you will stay three nights in Rome.
Day 3-4: Florence
Florence, sometimes known as a ‘living museum’, is Tuscany’s unforgettable capital. Once home to Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli, the city has an unrivalled artistic legacy, with famous works such as The Birth of Venus and David on display in the city’s legendary galleries. The rich history of the city is evident in its palatial buildings, none more magnificent than the iconic Duomo.
With the nine-night itinerary, you will stay three nights in Rome.
Day 5-6: Venice
Venice is a living piece of art: must-dos in this cultural gem include visiting St Mark’s Square for the scene-stealing Basilica di San Marco, Doge’s Palace and Torre dell’Orologio, taking a romantic gondola ride along the city’s waterways, watching a glass-blowing demonstration on Murano Island, and admiring arty masterpieces at the Accademia Gallery. Simply wandering through the floating city and getting wonderfully lost on purpose is a great way to see it all, but for the real Venice experience you can opt to include a leisurely gondola ride filled with classic history and romance.
With the nine-night itinerary, you will stay three nights in Rome.
