Item Description

A Trip for Two to Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan for Eight Days & Seven Nights, Including First Class Train Travel Between Cities (Land Only)

Discover the treasures of Italy! Here's your chance to enjoy the best of Italy with three two-night stays in Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as carefree travel by train from city to city. Experience the wonders of ancient Rome, wander the cobbled streets of Florence, and explore the canals and bridges of Venice.

Rome, the Eternal City, is overflowing with history, ancient structures and landmarks, from the imposing Coliseum, home of great fights, hunts and gladiators, to St. Peter’s Basilica.

In Florence, the Renaissance city, stroll through the streets and explore its art and architecture. You'll find history and culture in every corner. Michelangelo’s David, which stands in the Piazza della Signoria, continues to be celebrated as one of the greatest masterpieces of the Renaissance.

Venice is a place like no other. The only way to get around this 1,500-year-old city is by foot or by water. Relax in Piazza San Marco, visit the basilicas, drink a bellini at Harry's Bar and wander the alleyways and bridges. Venice defies description. The design of the Basilica of San Marco, one of the greatest Venetian monuments, was influenced by a mixture of Byzantine, Roman and Venetian artists and craftsmen.

In Milan, you can behold one of the world's most famous works of art, Da Vinci's The Last Supper in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and visit the Duomo, "one of the mightiest Gothic buildings every created".

Your trip for two includes:
• 2 nights accommodations at the Hotel Ponte Sisto in Rome in a superior room
• 2 nights accommodations at the Hotel Pierre in Florence in a deluxe room
• 2 nights accommodations at the Hotel Savoia E Jolanda located in the historical center of Venice in a classic room
