Rome
Nicknamed the Eternal City, Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city evokes its past so powerfully. Archaeological remains from ancient Rome like the Colosseum, the Palazzo Farnese, an important High Renaissance palace, Baroque fountains such as the Trevi fountain, and the treasures of the Vatican City such as St Peter’s Basilica vie for your attention in this open-air museum.Siena
Siena, a city in central Italy’s Tuscany region, is distinguished by its medieval brick buildings. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo, is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Gothic town hall, and Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th-century tower with sweeping views from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic “contrade” (districts) extend outward from the piazza.Florence
Birthplace of the Renaissance and home to masterpieces of art and architecture – Florence is simply magnetic. Discover the magic of this beautiful city from the “The Gates of Paradise” – the magnificent doors of the Baptistery and the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge, flanked by vintage jewelers. Enjoy this beating heart of Renaissance society and exceptional craft, one of Italy’s most enchanting cities.Bologna
Bologna is the lively, historic capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, in northern Italy. Its Piazza Maggiore is a sprawling plaza lined with arched colonnades, cafes and medieval and Renaissance structures such as City Hall, the Fountain of Neptune and the Basilica di San Petronio. Among the city’s many medieval towers are the Two Towers, leaning Asinelli and Garisenda.Venice
With shimmering water in canals where streets would normally be, Venice is truly magical. At some point you will almost surely end up in Piazza San Marco, the ideal place to enjoy a coffee or an aperitif but along the way you will find the most fascinating architecture, cobblestone passageways and majestic canals flooded with the quaintest of gondolas.
