Venezia, Firenze, Roma!

Eight days, three of Italy's most storied cities, one continuous arc through the country's art, history, and daily life — that's the shape of Venezia, Firenze, Roma. Your group arrives on Venice Lido, settles in, and crosses to the main island to take on a city that has no cars, no straight streets, and no real equivalent anywhere else on the planet. By the time you board the train south toward Florence and then Rome, students have a genuine sense of how differently Italians have organized urban space across the centuries.
