What's this trip about?

    Live out your wildest Italian dreams on this multi-city vacation package! Start off exploring the colorful canals of Venice. Treat yourself to a gondola ride down the Grand Canal, take incredible photos from the Rialto Bridge, and feel like a local in Piazza San Marco. Discover tiny canals and picturesque hidden gems throughout this unique city. While in Venice, why not take a boat ride over to Murano or Burano?  Next, you'll hop on a train to Florence, the "Birthplace of the Renaissance." Roam through medieval streets and meander through local markets. See iconic sites like the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and more! Since Florence is an art capital of the world, you owe it to yourself to visit at least one famous museum. Check out the Uffizi Gallery or the Galleria dell'Accademia - home to Michelangelo's State of David! Last, but certainly not least, take a scenic train ride to the Eternal City of Rome. Travel back in time at the Colosseum and Roman Forum, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, and become awestruck at the sight of St. Peter's Basilica! Indulge in creamy gelato as you walk, and treat yourself to delicious meals of pizza, pasta, and other Italian classics.
