Day 1 Arrive In Rome
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Arrive In Rome

As your plane touches down in Rome, the anticipation builds. The Eternal City awaits, ready to reveal its lesser-known treasures. Resist the urge to nap after settling into your hotel—Rome’s hidden gems beckon!

Step out onto the cobblestone streets and make your way to the charming neighborhood of Monti. This area, often overlooked by tourists rushing between the Colosseum and the historic center, offers a slice of authentic Roman life. Wander through its narrow, vine-draped alleys, where trendy boutiques sit alongside traditional craftsmen’s workshops.

For your first taste of Roman cuisine, skip the tourist traps and head to the bustling Mercato di Testaccio. This local market is where Romans do their daily shopping. Sample some supplì (fried rice balls) or a slice of pizza al taglio as you watch locals haggle over the freshest produce. The lively atmosphere and mouthwatering aromas will immerse you in Rome’s culinary culture.

As the afternoon wanes, make your way to the Aventine Hill, one of Rome’s seven hills often missed by visitors. Here, you’ll find the Giardino degli Aranci (Orange Garden), a tranquil oasis offering breathtaking views over the city. Watch as the setting sun paints Rome’s rooftops in hues of gold and terracotta.

For a truly unique experience, walk a few steps to the Piazza dei Cavalieri di Malta. Look through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta gateway—you’ll be rewarded with a perfectly framed view of St. Peter’s Basilica, a secret vista that few tourists discover.

As evening falls, descend into the vibrant neighborhood of Trastevere. This area comes alive at night, its twisting alleys filled with the chatter of locals and the enticing aromas of Roman kitchens. Find a cozy trattoria tucked away from the main squares and enjoy your first proper Roman meal. Perhaps try the Cacio e Pepe, a simple yet delicious pasta dish that embodies Roman cuisine.

End your night with a passeggiata (evening stroll) along the banks of the Tiber River. The illuminated Ponte Sisto and the reflection of twinkling lights on the water provide a romantic backdrop to your first night in Rome.

Return to your hotel, your senses alive with the authentic sights, sounds, and flavors of Rome—far from the tourist crowds. Rest well, for tomorrow promises Vatican treasures and more Roman wonders.

Overnight in Rome.

From Renaissance To Romance - Florence To Venice

After a final Florentine breakfast, make your way to the architectural marvel of Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Board the high-speed train to Venice, and watch as the Tuscan hills give way to the Veneto plains during your two-hour journey.

Arriving at Venice’s Santa Lucia Station, you’ll immediately sense the city’s uniqueness as you step out to your first view of the Grand Canal. To reach your hotel, choose between a romantic water taxi ride or an adventurous walk through Venice’s maze-like streets and over its picturesque bridges.

Once settled, begin your Venetian adventure with a leisurely stroll or a quiet moment in a campo, perhaps enjoying your first Venetian spritz. As evening falls, experience the magic of Venice by night - softly lit canals, distant music, and the gentle sounds of water lapping against buildings.

Savor dinner at a cozy bacaro, trying local cicchetti and wine before returning to your hotel. Rest well, surrounded by the subtle sounds of this floating city, ready for tomorrow’s exploration of Venice’s treasures.

Day 7 Venice / Home
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Venice / Home

Arrivederci, Venezia! (Farewell, Venice!)

Wake up to your final morning in Italy, the gentle lapping of canal waters serving as Venice’s unique alarm clock. As you enjoy your last Italian breakfast—perhaps a flaky cornetto and a strong espresso—take a moment to reflect on your whirlwind journey through Italy’s most iconic cities.

With no scheduled activities today, the morning is yours to savor. Why not take one last gondola ride, gliding under bridges and past palazzos, the gondolier’s melodic calls echoing off the water? Or perhaps you’d prefer a final wander through Venice’s labyrinthine streets, discovering hidden campos and tiny artisan workshops that have been crafting Venetian masks and glassware for generations.

For those early risers, a visit to the Rialto Market offers a glimpse into local Venetian life. Watch as restaurateurs and locals alike haggle over the freshest fish and produce, the market’s energy a stark contrast to the serene canals.

As the time for departure nears, gather your belongings—and your memories. The watercolor skies of Venice, the Renaissance masterpieces of Florence, the ancient grandeur of Rome—all have left their indelible mark on your traveler’s soul.

Make your way to the airport or train station, each vaporetto stop or bridge crossing a bittersweet reminder of the beauty you’re leaving behind. But take heart—for as any seasoned traveler knows, to bid farewell to a place as magical as Italy is merely to promise, "I’ll return."
