Italia Bella: Rome to Venice


A place where stories come to life. Imagine ancient Rome as you walk inside the Colosseum... the brilliance of the Renaissance, as you gaze up at Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel... the art of 16th-century Florence, while taking in the towering figure of David at the Galleria dell’Accademia... the wealth of medieval Venice, as you cruise past opulent palaces on the Grand Canal... meet a Venetian mask maker, taste the magic of an icy gelato, strike your own pose beside the famed leaning tower of Pisa, and glide along the world’s most famous lagoon waters to O sole mio!


1. ARRIVE ROME: THE CITY OF SEVEN HILLS Tour begins: 2:00 PM, The Westin Excelsior, Rome. A transfer is included from Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci Airport to your hotel. Meet us this afternoon for a guided visit to St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City; inside this amazing church you’ll find the tombs of 91 popes, a Holy Roman Emperor, and a Swedish queen; Michelangelo’s Pieta; and the soaring dome designed by Michelangelo, who did not live to see it completed. Join us this evening for a welcome reception and dinner. Meals D


2. ROMAN RUINS & VATICAN TREASURES Today will give you a sense of what Rome looked like in ancient times starting at the Circus Maximus, where you’ll see the U-shaped arena once used for horse-drawn chariot races
