8-Day Vacation in Rome and Barcelona with Airfare

This 8-day vacation takes you to two of Europe’s most celebrated cities: Rome and Barcelona. There’s no set itinerary, so you’ll have the chance to see famous architecture, ancient landmarks, and some of the civilization’s greatest artistic treasures at your own pace. This vacation includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from New York City
  • 1-night overnight flight
  • Airline taxes and fuel surcharges
  • 3 nights of standard accommodations at the Hotel Villafranca Rome in Rome
  • 3 nights of standard accommodations at the Novotel Barcelona City in Barcelona
  • Daily breakfast

Days 1–4: Flight and Rome

Italy’s capital city is a treasure-trove of ancient history. The Roman Forum, which served as the center of ancient Rome, is a good spot to begin. From here, you’re just a short walk from the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and Circo Massimo, a crumbling stone and marble arena that once hosted chariot races. Hop on Rome’s easy-to-use subway system to explore attractions outside of the ancient city center, such as the Spanish Steps or the Vatican Museums, which house priceless works by Raphael, Michelangelo, and many others.

  • Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore: Dating back to around AD 430, this large church features mosaics from the 13th century and a Romanesque belfry.
  • Eat like a local: Grab a slice of pizza bianca—fluffy, foldable bread typically topped with oil and seasonings.
  • Optional tours: half-day Vatican Museums (day 3; $73/person), half-day ancient Rome (day 3; $64/person), full-day Naples and Pompeii tour with lunch (day 4; $133/person)

Days 5–8: Barcelona and Departure

While Barcelona has its fair share of museums, many of the city’s best cultural offerings aren’t behind velvet ropes or framed on walls. The city’s renowned modernist architecture stands in full view of passersby, whether they’re walking near historic homes or public spaces. The city’s crown jewel is La Sagrada Família, a church that’s been under construction since 1866. In between marveling at architectural wonders, be sure to sample Barcelona’s fresh seafood and spend time relaxing on the beach.

  • Walk in Picasso’s shoes: See where the artist once lived and visit the Els Quatre Gats restaurant, where he mingled with other artists including Salvador Dalí.
  • Live music takes over the Gothic Quarter after nightfall.
  • Optional tours: full-day Barcelona highlights tour (day 6; $71/person), half-day Montserrat tour (day 7; $54/person)
