About this Italy trip
Italy is layered — Roman ruins under Renaissance cities under modern café life. This eight-day route runs the classic triangle of Rome, Florence and Venice on high-speed trains, with a day on the cliffside villages of the Cinque Terre that most itineraries skip. Skip-the-line tickets for the Colosseum and Vatican Museums save hours in summer queues, and hotels sit within walking distance of the old centres so evenings belong to gelato and piazzas.
A historic treasure known for its art, architecture, delicious cuisine, and romantic cities.

Frequently asked questions
What visa do I need for Italy?
A Schengen visa applied through the Italian consulate's VFS centre, since Italy is your main destination. We prepare the itinerary, bookings and checklist.
Is there a dress code at the Vatican?
Yes. Shoulders and knees must be covered for both men and women, or you may be refused entry to St Peter's and the Sistine Chapel.
How much walking is involved?
Quite a lot — 12–18 km on some days, and the Cinque Terre involves stairs. That is why this trip is rated moderate. Seniors can skip the Cinque Terre day and rest in Florence.
Will vegetarians manage?
Easily. Margherita pizza, pasta al pomodoro, risotto and gelato are everywhere, and Rome, Florence and Venice all have Indian restaurants.
Can we add the Amalfi Coast?
Yes. Two nights in Sorrento with a Positano and Amalfi day trip is a popular extension from Rome.
