This 11-day vacation does not just include highlight cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice, but also overnight stays in Lucca, and in St. Francis’ Assisi. All major sights have been included, such as St. Peter’s, the Sistine Chapel, and the Colosseum in Rome, Michelangelo’s David in Florence, and in Venice, which you enter by private boat, St. Mark’s, and the Doges’ Palace with the Bridge of Sighs. However, this vacation offers even more: a special welcome dinner in a lively Roman restaurant, visits to San Gimignano and Siena, famous for the biannual, medieval-style horse race, the Palio, and stops at Verrazzano Castle to learn about the famous Chianti wine, and in Verona to take pictures of Juliet’s balcony. You’ll also travel along the picturesque coastline to Ravenna and admire the mosaics in the 6th-century Basilica of St. Apollinaris in Classe, and stop in Orvieto, which you access by riding a funicular right through its ramparts!
