Rome

Your trip begins in Rome, also known as the Eternal City. The title nicely encapsulates its ancient history and perpetual energy. Here, cars and Vespas clog the streets, running adjacent to ancient ruins. Must-sees include the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the epicenter of ancient Rome.

  • Getting there: You’ll spend day 1 flying from New York to Rome. The flight takes about 9 hours.
  • Gaze at masterpieces at the Borghese Gallery and Museum, where sculptures and paintings by Bernini, Titian, and Caravaggio fill room after opulent room.
  • Skip the lines during a guided tour on day 3 of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica.
  • Optional tour: Guests can join a 3-hour guided tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum ($40/person).

Florence

Florence is the largest city in the region of Tuscany and one of Italy’s most beautiful locales. Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, admire the statue of David in the Galleria dell’Accademia, and wind down with a bottle of vino on the steps of the Piazzale Michelangelo—the best spot to watch the sun set over the Arno River.

  • Art history lesson: Florence is credited as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance; it was home to influential artists such as Donatello and Michelangelo, as well as wealthy patrons of the arts—primarily the Medici family.
  • Take a walking tour on day 6 to get oriented. Stops include the iconic Duomo.
  • See Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria dell’Accademia. Go on your own or opt into a guided 1-hour tour of the gallery on day 6 ($35/person).

Venice Mestre

On Day 7, you’ll take a high-speed train to Venice Mestre, a portion of Venice just west of the main island. During your time here, you’ll be treated to a walking tour of the city, plus a side trip to Murano, which is famous around the world for its stunning glassware.

  • Say it in Italian: Venezia (Veh-NEET-zee-ah)
  • Take a group gondola ride on day 8 ($34/person). You’ll cruise down the famous Grand Canal, passing under arched bridges as you take in the sights. The gondolier may even serenade you.
  • St. Mark’s Square: Stop to feed the pigeons in Venice’s largest square. Casino Royale and The Italian Job are just a couple movies that were filmed at this famous spot.

Know Before You Go

  • Official language: Italian
  • Currency: euro
  • Drive on the right side of the road.
