Description

Day one We leave Milan for La Spezia, the gateway to Cinque Terre. Whether you're drawn to its maritime heritage or vibrant art scene, La Spezia promises an exciting exploration. After settling in, we head to the train station for our journey to the colorful coastal villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza, and Monterosso. The rugged cliffs, winding streets, and picturesque vistas offer endless opportunities for memorable experiences and stunning photographs. Day two We bid farewell to La Spezia and venture to Pietrasanta, dubbed the 'City of Artists' for its rich sculpting tradition. Then, it's off to Pisa to marvel at the Leaning Tower and explore its other treasures like the Piazza dei Miracoli and the banks of the Arno River. Our final stop of the day is the charming walled city of Lucca. Here you’ll find a delightful blend of historical, cultural, and scenic attractions. Maybe you’ll walk along the city walls, visit the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, or Cathedral of St Martin. We then head into the bustling city of Florence, your overnight stay for the next two nights Day three The city of Florence is a treasure trove of art, architectural wonders, culinary delights, historic charm, and cultural richness. After a guided city walk in the morning, you have the rest of the day to explore. Perhaps you’ll go to the Uffizi Gallery or the Accademia Gallery to gaze upon some of the world’s most celebrated pieces of artwork, works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. Maybe you’ll grab your camera and wander the charming, cobbled streets, snapping shots of medieval buildings, hidden squares, and charming locals. You turn a corner and are dwarfed by the Florence Duomo, taken in by its grandeur. Time to wander up to the top for the ultimate view of Florence. One thing that’s been on your list is to explore local markets and restaurants, and stuff your face with local delights like bistecca alla fiorentina (Florentine Steak) and ribollita. Day four We first head to the city of Bologna, where you have plenty of time to explore and grab a bite to eat for lunch. We know what you’re thinking... Bologna... as in Bolognese? Yes, as in rich, delicious Bolognese sauce. Where better to grab a pasta Bolognese than in the place where it was invented? Bologna is a feast for the palette. Wander the winding market streets, pick out some fresh produce to take home with you. Grab a snack and head to the Piazza Maggiore. Take a seat on the steps of impressive buildings like the Basilica di San Petronio and Palazzo Comunale. Next we head to Grazzano Visconti. This picturesque medieval village was designed by Giuseppe Visconti in the 20th century as a way to glimpse into medieval Italian life. The architecture and layout of the village reflect the charm of the past, from cobblestoned streets to stone buildings, and Visconti Castle at its centre. We return to Milan, carrying memories of our Italian adventure with us.
