Highlights of Italy
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome – the Eternal City for 2,000 years, home to innumerable UNESCO World Heritage sites; discover Venice, one of the north’s Byzantine cities, with its canals and ancient palaces; the museums of Florence with their Renaissance masterpieces; enjoy the stunning Amalfi coastline, one of the world’s most spectacular drives; don’t miss Pompeii, Herculaneum and Vesuvius, all in the Bay of Naples area, the Basilica of St Francis at Assisi and its surrounding Franciscan sites, the Vatican Museum and the breathtaking ceiling of the Sistine Chapel; and Pisa’s iconic Leaning Tower, with a splendid cathedral.
