What's this trip about?

Who doesn't want to spend time in Italy? Here is an opportunity to visit three of the most intriguing and iconic cities on this independent package. Spend two nights in each city, Venice, Florence and Rome, and get to know them at your own pace. Travel in comfort between the cities by Italo Rail with reserved seats. Rub shoulders with the people of Italy, and the ancient, the medieval, the Renaissance, and the modern worlds. In Venice, your hotel is conveniently located in Mestre, giving you easy access to the city, where you can explore on foot or by water taxi. Be sure not to miss a gondola ride or a coffee at St. Mark's Square. In Florence, see the birth of the Renaissance, while admiring the Duomo or the statue of David. In Rome, experience the Eternal City and perhaps visit the Vatican and the Colosseum. All this for an amazing price, as irresistible as Italy itself!
