JEWELS OF ITALY - 2010

16 days incl. travel, or 15 days from Rome to Rome (6370)

Vacation Overview

This exciting vacation covers the main sights of Italy, but with a special focus on the green, hilly landscapes of Tuscany. Begin with an overnight and free time in Rome, then stop in Orvieto, an Umbrian town with a beautiful cathedral, and reach Poggibonsi, your base for exploring Tuscany. 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. Enjoy included excursions to the beautiful Isle of Capri, the fascinating archaeological site of Pompeii, and the lively resort of Sorrento. Return to Rome for two more night and guided sightseeing of the “Eternal City” that features the Colosseum and the Roman Forum.
