Rome
Known as the Eternal City, Rome is the most populated city in Italy and dates back over 3,000 years! The birthplace of one of the most important ancient civilizations, influencing culture, religion, art, food, and many of the aspects we know today.
Rome is a must-see stop for all Italy tours, especially for those seeking an enriching and immersive exploration back in time. Visit sites like the Colosseum, to see where many epic gladiator battles, Roman games, and animal fights occurred.
Do you believe in wishes coming true? Be sure to visit the famous Trevi Fountain and toss two coins in it. One coin is to make a wish and the second is to ensure that you’ll return to Rome.
Venice
Located in the Veneto region, the historical center of Venice is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is the largest collection (118 to be exact) of small islands connected by 455 bridges.
A trip to Italy is not complete without a visit to this extraordinary “Floating City” and enjoying a memorable gondola ride on the canal. For a bird's-eye view of the area, make your way to the top of Saint Mark’s Bell Tower—the highest point in the city.
For a true historical experience, stop by St Mark’s Basilica, the cathedral dedicated to the patron saint of the city. Palazzo Ducale is also home to many significant historical sites like the Prisons of Giacomo Casanova and Council Hall.
Florence
For a truly enriching experience, filled with historical and artistic significance, Florence is a popular destination on Italy tours—seeing over 13 million visitors each year. The city played a significant role in the Renaissance art movement, which earned its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you’re an art aficionado, you’ll appreciate the abundance of museums like the National Museum of Bargello and Uffizi Gallery. As home to noteworthy artists like Dante, Raphael, and Michelangelo, there are plenty of significant masterpieces to admire.
