9-Night, Three-City Italian Vacation

Travel by rail between some of Italy's most legendary cities—Rome, Florence, and Venice—on this 9-night vacation. There's no set itinerary, so you can explore the Roman ruins, Renaissance museums, and winding canals at your own pace. This vacation includes the following:

  • Round-trip airfare
  • Alternate departure dates/gateways may be available for additional fee.
  • 3 nights of hotel accommodations in Rome at the Holiday Inn Express San Giovanni (or similar)
  • Second-class rail from Rome to Florence
  • 3 nights of hotel accommodations in Florence at the De La Pace hotel (or similar; Athenaeum Hotel or similar for 5/5/14 departure)
  • Second-class rail from Florence to Venice
  • 3 nights of hotel accommodations in Venice at the Apogia Sirio hotel (or similar; Santa Chiara hotel or similar for 9/15/14 departure)
  • Complimentary breakfast daily

Rome: Ancient Ruins and Dazzling Architecture

Italy's capital is a living museum, from its sacred sites to ancient ruins that include the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.

  • St. Peter's Basilica stands near the site where St. Peter was said to be crucified. Inside, gilded dome ceilings have been painted by Renaissance greats Michelangelo and Raphael.
  • Trevi Fountain: Statues of Neptune adorn this carved stone fountain, which dates back to the 18th century. It's worth seeing after dark when it's lit up. Tradition holds that if you throw a coin into the fountain, you're certain to come back to Rome.

Florence: Renaissance Art in Tuscany

Michelangelo's marble David sculpture is just one of many Renaissance masterpieces you can see in Florence's world-famous galleries.

  • Uffizi Gallery, built in the 16th century, showcases iconic works by Botticelli, Da Vinci, and Giotto.
  • Brunelleshi's Dome: Marble lines the floors of this cathedral, but its centerpiece is the dome—one of the largest in the world. Frescoes here are covered with evocative paintings of heaven and hell.
  • San Lorenzo Market: Browse Tuscan cheeses, souvenir items, and leather accessories.

    Venice: Peaceful Canals and Modern Art

    Venice is pleasantly devoid of screeching tires and honking car horns—instead of roads, there's a network of placid canals where you can travel by gondola.

  • Peggy Guggenheim Collection: sits alongside the Grand Canal and packs in contemporary Cubist, Surrealist, and Abstract pieces by the likes of Picasso and Jackson Pollock.
  • St. Mark's Square: Pigeons and tourists alike flock to this large piazza, home to such landmarks as Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica. Parts of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade were filmed here.

You can't beat these deals. GO TODAY has the same a trip on their site for way more. I have traveled with GO TODAY bf, purchased on their site. The trip package and experience is exactly the same. The hotel is nice with transportation right outside and the bus ride to the city center is really short. Can't wait to see what other trips I can book with GO TODAY and GROUPON.

I've bought Groupon travel deals for years now and travelled before with Go-Today.com. Buying the deal through Groupon has always saved money and booking it with Go-Today.com has always been seamless! Very friendly company- we've loved all the trips we have taken with them!
