Start your journey in the Eternal City of Rome, home to iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. Take a stroll through the charming streets of Trastevere, or indulge in some authentic Italian cuisine in the trendy neighborhoods of Monti or Testaccio.

Next, head to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. Admire the art and architecture of the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Ponte Vecchio. Take a day trip to nearby Siena, known for its beautiful medieval architecture and the famous Palio horse race.

In the north of Italy, Venice is a must-see destination. Take a gondola ride through the city's winding canals, visit the magnificent St. Mark's Basilica, and explore the narrow streets and hidden squares. Don't forget to indulge in some Venetian seafood and gelato.
