As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal States and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City". One of the world's most elegant capitals the layers of history and the city's sheer excess of beauty can prove overwhelming to the unsuspecting visitor.

This is a city best explored on foot, with every corner offering an overlooked treasure or unforgettable panorama. Roman columns soar up aimlessly next to medieval basilicas, the sound of water splashing in fountains fills the air in front of Renaissance palaces and exuberant Romans jostle through multi-colored markets and winding cobbled streets.

Breathe the air of the Caesars in the Roman forum, stroll through the menacing Colosseum, marvel at the splendors of the Vatican Palace - and you will wonder if this can be the capital of a modern industrial nation or whether you have stepped back into the pages of history. But around these relics of history Rome is still evolving. It's at the cutting edge of fashion and cuisine and is one of the most popular shopping destinations on Earth.

So prepare to soak up history and modernity in equal measure in one of Europe's most fascinating cities.

DAY 8 - DAY 11
Enjoy 4 Full Days at Leisure! 

In the rich cultures of Europe and celebrated cities of Italy, few places capture the imagination as much as Venice. Its fabled canalled thoroughfares and gilded palaces possess a beguiling beauty unsurpassed by anywhere else on Earth.

No one can forget his or her first view along the Grand Canal, Venice's main artery that bisects the city. Grandiose buildings in fabulous colors lean at crazy angles over dark water - at any moment you feel they could collapse into the lagoon, and this most precious of cities disappear forever. Overall there is an atmosphere of carpe diem, Venice is a city for enjoying now, as tomorrow, you feel, it may be gone.

Here the world is turned on its head - priceless art is commonplace and the bland is the exception: in its imperial hey-day Venice spent vast reserves of money on trinkets to augment its already beautiful architecture. Ships flying the flag of the Golden Lion brought back wealth from the Indies and the city shamelessly lavished it on fripperies, becoming famous for its decadence. It is a heritage that tourists now reap unashamedly. Everywhere you go you'll find works of art - in the architecture itself or within the walls of the palaces and basilicas that are liberally sprinkled in every area of the city.

Venice is an ever-changing, living canvas. No other place has such a mutable geography where you can discover delightfully peaceful piazzas and deserted canals seemingly unmarked on any map
Flooded with tourists in summer and with the waters of the lagoon in autumn, Venice endures with the patience of a noble and bejeweled dowager. Teetering on the edge of ruin yet still féted by all who are exposed to its gaudy charms. Simply because there is nowhere else quite the same...

Day 12
