Flying in and out of Venice:

  • Fly into Venice where you can take the vaporetto (public water bus) to get to any destination in Venice so that you can stroll along the winding streets and the canals and visit piazza San Marco. You can also take a romantic gondola ride. Things to see in Venice include the mightiest of Venetian monuments - the Basilica of San Marco (St. Mark's Square) and Doge's Palace, the city's most famous building. Be sure also to leave enough time to loose yourself in the maze of canals and tiny little lanes.


  • Once you have finished exploring Venice, you can catch a train up to Milan - The metropolis all about worldly pleasures! Make sure you see the breathtaking Duomo, which is one of the world's largest and most striking cathedrals. A visit to the Church and Convent of Santa Maris delle Graziea is well worth the visit too. It is the home of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper" - il Cencolo. Reservations to see the "Last Supper" can be sold out months in advance, so be sure to reserve your tickets.


  • From Milan take a train to Pisa. The main place to go in Pisa is Campo dei Miracoli - 'field of miracles' - which is one of the most famous and admired squares in the world and is home to the Leaning Tower, the Cathedral (Duomo) and the Baptistery, which is the largest of its kind in Italy.


  • You can then make your way down to Rome. You will need at least three days to see the sights and wonders that is the eternal city, Rome (St Peters, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, etc...).


  • After Rome, head to the Amalfi Coast. Catch the train down to Sorrento - changing at Naples. From Sorrento you can visit the ancient villages and majestic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast.


  • You can then either hire a car and explore Tuscany and then visit Florence or the other way around. Don't miss the Uffizi Gallery - which is one of the most famous museums of paintings and sculpture in the world - or the Academia Gallery where Michelangelo's David is housed. Also try set some time aside to see the Duomo and the graceful span of Ponte Vecchio and so much more. Leave yourself at least two days for Florence. To avoid queuing make sure that you book any museums you wish to visit in advance - www.tickitaly.com You should then set aside at least four days for the rest of Tuscany.


  • Depending on which was you went, you can then either catch a train or drive up back to Venice for you flight back home.
