9-Day Vacation in Italy 

See Italy’s most notable cities—Venice, Florence, and Rome—on this 9-day vacation from Gate 1 Travel. A walking tour orients you in each city, where you’ll have time to explore major landmarks and sit back with a glass of wine at local trattorias. The loose itinerary includes a tour of Vatican City’s museums and the Sistine Chapel. Each option includes:

Venice

No matter where you go in Venice, you’re hardly ever more than a few feet from the water. The city is built along the Mediterranean coast amid a winding system of canals, and the best way to explore it is by boat. Hop on a water bus to reach the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Square, and other sites along the Grand Canal, but don’t forget to explore the small islands surrounding the city center.

  • Works by Jackson Pollock and Salvador Dali make the Peggy Guggenheim Collection one of the foremost contemporary art museums in the world.
  • Visit Murano: The island is dotted with bright pink, blue, and yellow buildings, reflecting the artistic spirit of its thriving glass-making community. Visit a local shop to watch artisans craft chandeliers and fine glassware.

Florence

Tuscany is known for its undulating hills, sprawling vineyards, and sun-kissed villas. The largest city in the region, Florence, is also one of Italy’s most beautiful. Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, admire Michelangelo’s 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.

  • Museo Galileo displays an eccentric collection of clocks and scientific gadgets from the scientist’s life.
  • Ponte Vecchio: Vendors sell handmade souvenirs and jewelry from stalls along this pedestrian bridge spanning the Arno.

Rome

Rome is chock-full of iconic attractions, from Vatican City to the Colosseum and the crumbling ruins of the Roman Forum, where Marc Antony eulogized Julius Caesar after his assassination. But be sure to pencil some downtime into your itinerary—much of Rome’s charm lies in wandering its winding cobblestone streets and stumbling upon unexpected sights. Don’t forget to toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain; legend has it that doing so guarantees your eventual return to Rome.

  • Palatino is believed to be the place where Rome was founded in 753 BC. You can tour the imperial palace and stroll amid pine trees surrounding ruins of bathhouses and marble fountains.
  • Tour Vatican City to see Michelangelo’s frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and marvel at the architecture of St. Peter’s Basilica.

  • Currency: Euro (USD$1 to €0.73 as of May 2014)
