WELCOME TO
THE GRAND TOUR OF ITALY
Italy, the bel paese (beautiful country), is one of Europes great seducers .
Blessed with an unparalleled cultural heritage, food that is imitated the world over and a landscape that combines historic cities, stunning coastlines and remote wildernesses, Italy has been beguiling travellers for centuries, and still casts a powerful spell today.
Follow the trail of bohemians and intellectuals as you wind your way between the countrys star cities, enjoying a wealth of lesser-known historic treasures and artistic masterpieces along the way.

GRAND TOUR OF ITALY HIGHLIGHTS
This elegant beach town has been a favourite holiday spot for European expats for almost 300 years.
While Rome abounds with historic sites (and tourists), many miss one of Italys most compelling and under-appreciated archaeological treasures.
Birthplace of Piero della Francesca, this charming town abounds in historic palazzi and great works of art.
CITY GUIDE
Even in a country of exquisite cities, Rome (Roma) is special. Pulsating, seductive and utterly disarming, its a mesmerising mix of artistic masterpieces and iconic monuments, theatrical piazzas and haunting ruins. If your road leads to Rome, give yourself a couple of days to explore its headline sights.

Driving is not the best way to get around Rome. Traffic can be chaotic and much of the centro storico (historic centre) is closed to nonauthorised traffic on weekdays and weekend evenings. Youre better off using public transport; a day pass is 6.
On-street parking, which is expensive and scarce, is denoted by blue lines. There are some car parks in the centre, which charge about 15 to 20 per day. Some top-end hotels offer parking, usually for an extra charge.
For authentic nose-to-tail Roman cooking check out the trattorias in Testaccio, and for traditional Roman-Jewish cuisine head to the atmospheric Jewish Ghetto.
The most atmospheric, and expensive, place to stay is the centro storico, where youll have everything on your doorstep. Night owls will enjoy Trastevere, while Tridente offers refined accommodation and designer shopping. The Vatican is also popular.

Thrill to the sight of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatino, where Romulus and Remus supposedly founded the city in 753 BC.
File past kilometres of priceless art at the Vatican Museums to arrive at the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelos fabled frescoes. (www.vatican.va)
Head to the Museo e Galleria Borghese to marvel at a series of exhilarating sculptures by baroque maestro Gian Lorenzo Bernini. (www.galleriaborghese.it)
The Pantheon is the best preserved of Romes ancient monuments; its only when you get inside that you get the full measure of the place as its dome soars above you.
Capped by Michelangelos landmark dome, the Vaticans showpiece church is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and baroque decor.
Join the evening crowds in Trastevere to eat earthy Roman food, drink in the many bars and pubs, and parade up and down the streets.
Hanging out on Romes piazzas is part and parcel of Roman life having an ice cream on Piazza Navona, people-watching on Piazza del Popolo and posing on Piazza di Spagna.
An essential stop on every Italian itinerary, Florence (Firenze) is one of the worlds great art cities, boasting Renaissance icons and a wonderfully intact
