Days 1–4: 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 coast amid a winding system of canals; it’s worth it to hop on one of the local waterbuses, which travel along the Grand Canal and to the small islands that surround the city center.
Days 5–7: Florence
The city of Florence is considered by many to be the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century, thanks in part to the support of the powerful Medici family. They helped fund some of the country’s most renowned sculptors and painters, including Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Leonardo da Vinci. You can still see many of these artists’ masterpieces today at Uffizi Gallery, one of the city’s best art museums.
Days 8–11: Rome
Rome is one of the oldest cities in Europe—according to its foundational myth, Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus after he killed his twin brother, Remus. It was around this time that a handful of ancient Romans settled along the Tiber River, creating a society that would grow into one of the most prolonged and powerful civilizations in European history. You can still see remnants of ancient Rome today at popular sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Circus Maximus. The hop-on, hop-off double-decker bus tour (included with the deal) covers several routes and the Eternal City's most popular attractions, narrated by a guide.
