A city whose fascinating history captures the imagination and stirs the soul. Known as 'The Eternal City', Rome numbers among the world's must-see and never-to-be-forgotten destinations and is worthy of at minimum a couple of days' exploration.
We marvel at Roman fora, Baroque squares, temple ruins, intricately carved churches, beautiful basilica and the magnificent Colosseum before we pay a visit to the sovereign state of the Vatican. A trip to Siena allows us to experience a city that, perhaps more than any other Italian city, has preserved its original character and Middle Ages Gothic charm, and journeying to Pisa's Leaning Tower sees us admiring one of the world's most recognizable structures.
Florence, a centre of art and culture, gives us insight into Italian elegance and creativity, where gliding along Venice's picturesque canals in a gondola promises inimitable treasured memories. From the rugged beauty of the island of Sicily and the compelling historical sites of Pompeii and Herculaneum, to the exciting vitality of Rome and the vine-clad Tuscan hills, Italy never fails to impress.
