Travel Period
Experience romantic landscapes that have inspired the imagination of poets, artists and writers for centuries, from Lake Como to the lush Tuscan countryside and the timeless treasures of Venice, Florence and Rome.
When you think of Italy... you evoke thoughts of leisurely cruises on picturesque lakes lined with villas against the backdrop of the Italian Alps... the Byzantine grandeur of San Marco and serenades aboard gondolas in the age-old canals of Venice... Florentine art and architecture that sing of life in the Renaissance, and a stroll in the garden where opera was born... a glass of Chianti in a sidewalk café in hilltop Siena... the haunting ruins of Imperial Rome... hand-painted frescoes whose eloquence is most poignantly experienced in the Sistine Chapel... From Michelangelo's masterpieces to the glories of Ancient Rome, the art and drama of the ages inspire our journeys in Italy including Lake Como, Venice, Florence, Siena and Rome. View the inspiring treasures of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel and view the original works of the masters at the Uffizi Gallery and Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. In Venice, stay at a top award-winning hotel on a private island in the Venetian Lagoon, and explore St. Mark's Basilica and Square. Visit the medieval town of Siena in the Tuscan countryside. Take a high-speed train to Florence. And of course, you'll also have ample time to pursue what interests you most in Venice, Florence, and Rome...What's Included
