Valid for travel until 28 October 2025.

Visit the Art Cities of Italy by rail - see the major sites and enjoy plenty of free time to explore these wonderful cities on your own.  The "Eternal City" of Rome is like no other in the world - monuments, squares, fountains, museums of historical and artistic importance.  The Hop on Hop off bus in Rome allows you to not only orientate yourself, but also to explore and discover some of her most famous sights including the Colosseum, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish steps.  Venice is a destination to remember with its narrow, full of life alleys, bridges, canals, historical buildings and idyllic piazzas.  Take in the sights as you sail through the narrow canals on a Venetian gondola.  The historical city of Florence has inspired poets and writers alike.  Visit the Duomo, see Michelangelo's "David" and and stroll across the Ponte Vecchio.  Don't forget to sample the regional dishes along the way....
