Best of Europe Italy

Rome beckons with its ancient treasures and modern pleasures. Rudy makes the most of your visit with stops at Rome's charming cafes and shops, informative historic city walks, and a detour to Vatican City.

In magical Venice, Rudy reveals how to escape the crowds by visiting the neighborhoods of Dorsoduro, Cannaregio and San Polo. Join Rudy for a rousing drink at the city's oldest wine bar, take a dreamy gondola ride, and journey to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello for hand blown glass and lace.

Discover glorious Florence. Visit the great museums - the Uffizi, Bargello, and Accademia, as well as the landmarks of the Renaissance - the Duomo, Bapistery and Giotto's Tower. An excursion outside of town leads to a Medici villa, a sleepy Tuscan town, and a museum with inventions by Leonardo da Vinci.

Deep in the heart of Italy, Naples is the ideal launching point for exploring some of Italy's great historic treasures. Marvel at the ancient city of Pompeii and the devastation of Mount Vesuvius, hop a ferry to the isle of Capri, and drive the spectacular Amalfi coast to take in magnificent views.
