A Week In... Venice, Florence & Rome
All roads lead to Rome... They wind toward the Eternal City from Venice, labyrinthine city of art, romance, and palazzo-lined waterways... or to Florence, hip center of fashion, finance and culture, where Gucci, da Vinci, the Renaissance, and gold currency were born... They are the backroads that embark on a sojourn through the vineyards of Tuscany, sampling wine and local cuisine... They arrive at the hub of the Ancient World, in the heart of the modern metropolis, to discover the glories of Rome... And in today's modern Italy, the roads are joined by high-speed rail that closes the distance and makes the most of your time... a journey of timeless pleasures...
Traveling by high speed train from Venice to Florence and Rome reveals Italy's history in just one week... etched into art in famed museums... poured in Tuscan wines aged in a 4th-century abbey cellar... sculpted in timeless antiquities and architectural masterpieces... and frescoed with astonishing splendor in Vatican City. Take a walking tour of Venice with a local guide. Attend a wine-pairing lunch, with a taste of locally produced olive oil and cellar-aged Sangiovese wines. And explore these three cities in-depth and in detail, immersing in their incomparable history, intricate architecture, and irresistible cultural charm.
