See three of Italy's most iconic cities on this whistle-stop tour of Rome, Florence and Venice, including flights and inter-city transfers
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.
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.
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. Further thrills include riding to the top of the Campanile for excellent views of the Lido and the whole lagoon (on a clear day), taking a leisurely gondola ride filled with classic history and romance (one of these can optionally be included as part of your time here), and purposely getting wonderfully lost.
