We’re offering you a four-night Venice and Florence trip with train transfers and flights from €219pp, or a six-night trip from just €269pp, saving you up to 29%*!
Venice, 2 or 3 Nights
Your first stop will be the fairytale city of Venice. Hailed as one of the most romantic cities in the world, you’ll soon fall in love with the old city built on water. First, settle into your twin or double room in the Hotel Aaron or Hotel Nuova Mestre, both of which offer sleek accommodation with a modern, minimalist interior that guarantees a crisp, clean stay. Mestre’s railway station is only five minutes away, offering a straight shot to Venezia in no time at all. Wander the streets of this wonderful waterside city and get lost in its narrow Italian lanes and beautiful buildings. Make sure you visit the famous Rialto Bridge, St Mark’s Basilica and sample truly delectable Italian ice cream. With this deal, opt for a superbly romantic Gondola Ride and Serenade from €40pp and experience the authentic Venetian dream. For an extra €25pp you can choose to include a sightseeing tour of three islands in the Venetian Lagoon via boat. You’ll be able to watch glass being blown at a Murano glass factory, see historical cathedrals on Torcello and admire exquisite handmade lace on Burano. Explore enchanting canals and big sights, becoming utterly charmed by the quaint bridges, dramatic architecture and narrow streets promising surprises at every corner…
Florence, 2 or 3 Nights
For the next leg of your trip you will travel to the beautiful Florence and stay at either the Diva Hotel or Albergo Hotel Panorama Firenze. Both offer plenty of comfort with strong transport links and easy access to nearby galleries and exhibits. Be inspired by the Florence cathedral, with its uniquely terracotta-tiled dome and beautiful bell tower, or feast your eyes on Michaelangelo’s 'David' at The Galleria dell'Accademia, one of a plethora of museums and galleries interspersed throughout this cultural hub. For romantics, head to Ponte Vecchio or one of the several other bridges that cross the Arno river for a spectacular sunset view, or amble up to Piazzale Michelangelo to take in the crepuscular panorama from above the city. If you’re after an authentic bite to eat, the Mercato Centrale is perfect. Haggle for the best prices on fresh fruit and vegetables, lose your mind over amazing Italian cuisine within one of the many restaurants, grab a cup of freshly brewed coffee or whip up a cocktail or two! Zip around the city with ease by opting for a City Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour from €25pp or discover the region’s incredible cuisine with a Central Florence Food Tour from €30pp. You’ll walk through the city learning and sampling delicacies like salami, cheese, gelato, cantuccini and vin santo as you go. Florence is overflowing with options!
