Covering off three of Italy’s greatest cities, this multicentre takes you to Venice, Florence and Rome. Before boarding a train and travelling north, fly into the capital to experience la dolce vita with designer shops, excellent coffee and the best pizza as well as take in some of the major attractions of old Rome such as the Forum and the Colosseum. The train will then see you in Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, just a few hours later. Explore the Uffizi Gallery, take a stroll over the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge and ascend to the top of Il Duomo at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. You can reach Venice after taking one more short train ride. Admire St. Mark’s Square and then climb on board a famous gondola to glide down the iconic Grand Canal or one of the quieter neighbourhood canals.
This historic city is one of Italy’s loveliest. You’ll need a full day to do Verona justice, so this excursion is the perfect way to get to know the city, with free time to soak up the sights at your leisure.
You’ll start with a guided tour of Verona’s most famous sights, including the Roman Arena (home of the opera festival), Juliet's balcony, the Scaligeri tombs, Piazza dell' Erbe and Piazza Bra.
There will be plenty of free time to wander, too, so you can discover why Shakespeare chose to set so many plays here. Verona is an elegant sprawl of piazzas and picturesque lanes along the banks of the River Adige, and exploring on foot is the best way to see it. Surrounding the city are leafy hills topped with terracotta churches – perfect for a photo op.
We say: “Verona is so close to Lake Garda that a visit here is definitely worth doing. This excursion is a great way to see the city’s sights, including the Roman amphitheatre, one of the best in Italy (where they hold the Verona Opera Festival).” Lara Crowe, Product Executive
