Italian Favorites: Rome & Florence, Italy

March 21-28, 2009

Italy is a land that flawlessly blends beauty, modernity and history, and nowhere is this more apparent than in its magnificent cities. This is the perfect opportunity to discover and explore two of the great cities that epitomize Italy’s elegance, culture, architecture and historically rich character—Rome and Florence. Rich in art and cultural heritage, unique and timeless, they are two of Italy’s most famous and picturesque cities. Combine these classical cities with the Tuscan countryside of undulating hills filled with olive groves, vineyards and lofty cypresses marching up to medieval hilltop villages for a truly memorable holiday.

Rome
Forever known as the “Eternal City,” Italy’s capital has a wealth of cultural treasures from almost every era of history. Wherever you look in this remarkable city there are reminders of its glorious past. From the monumental Colosseum, where gladiators once fought, to the Spanish Steps and the majestic Vatican City, home of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, the list of attractions in this cultural city is endless.

Florence
Located in the enchanting region of Tuscany, Florence is the undisputed artistic and cultural capital of Europe. Known as the “Cradle of the Renaissance,” it is one of the world’s most exciting and exuberant cities, with architectural treasures around virtually every corner.
