Join the included excursions to Renaissance Florence to experience Piazza Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Duomo complex, and to Pisa to see its famed Leaning Tower. Experience two less-known but equally interesting cities of the Veneto Region—Verona and Padua—as well as magnificent Venice with its maze of canals. Stop in Ravenna, known for its Byzantine mosaics, and overnight in San Marino, one of the smallest countries of the world. Dedicate a day to Italy’s Umbria region with visits of Urbino, Gubbio, Assisi, and Foligno. Cross the Apennines, see the Benedictine Abbey of Montecassino, and spend three nights in Naples.
