A walking holiday in Florence & Rome

Art, history, culture and countryside
Overview

A chance to take in two of the world’s finest cities in one holiday with stays in Florence and Rome for us to take an in-depth look at Italian culture. The Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo’s Statue of David with a few great country walks thrown in, what more could you ask of a holiday?

Rome - a perfect city in which to enjoy the pleasures of travel. No other city has so much art still in the places for which it was pro­duced - family chapels by Bernini, altar paintings by Caravaggio, early Christian Mosaics, interior decoration by Raphael.

Florence is equally stunning. This small and immensely attractive city is a beautiful treasury of art and its setting is no less beautiful. Florence is surrounded by hills and we’ll enjoy two of the best view­points of the city at the Piazzale Michelangelo and Fiesole as well as some strolling in the Tuscan countryside.
