Built across 118 islands, the Floating City is an urban wonder of the world, where canals replace streets and gondolas act as the most romantic taxi imaginable. Known affectionately in Italy as La Serenissima (meaning ‘most serene’) Venice is a fantastic place decorated with magnificent architecture that you have to see to believe.
Once you’ve explored St Mark’s Square, gazed upon the Doge’s Palace and taken a gondola ride on the Grand Canal beneath Rialto Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs, it’s time to discover the rest of Venice.
From the iconic leaning tower to the grand and majestic Piazza dei Miracoli, it can be hard to tear yourself away from Pisa’s exciting architecture and history. But you’re not just in Pisa – you’re in Tuscany. As one of Italy’s most scenic and historic regions, Tuscany is home to scores of medieval cities set among rolling countryside, striped with green vineyards and olive groves, and interrupted only by terracotta-hued buildings.
