Italy by train

Overview

Visit the capital city of Italy - Rome, Florence which is home to Michelangelo's famous statue of David or one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, Venice - famous for its canals and St. Mark's Square.

Get ready to pinch or be pinched. Italy is a place of passion. For a country so renowned for its style it is remarkably unpretentious. The people are great, the food is fantastic and, according to the Vatican, it's God's Own Country. From motor scooters and medieval towns to Renaissance art and Roman ruins, Italy is a place you really can't afford to miss. Its stunning light and sumptuous landscapes will steal your heart away while its good food and wine are only matched by its good-looking people and fashion. Come enjoy la dolce vita.

Miss this and you'll kick yourself:

• The best gelato and pasta ever, and we mean ever!
• The Crypt of the Capuchin Friars Rome which is where they use monks' bones (that's the dead ones) to make tributes and artworks
• The Cinque Terre coastline
• A boat trip to the islands of Burano and Murano whilst in Venice
