A three hour train ride from Rome, discover the buried city of Pompeii. Buried by the explosion of Mount Vesuvius, excavations have now made it possible to visit and study the city. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cobbled streets and unique architecture make it a perfect destination.
Step back into the Italy of the Renaissance period. Florence, the capital of Tuscany, still retains its medieval splendour with broad avenues, grand mansions and beautiful churches. A two hour train ride from Rome, and well worth the time.
The eternal city. The Capital of the World. The Threshold of Apostles. Rome has been referred to by many names in its time. Whatever you may want to call the city now, Rome is, undoubtedly, epic. Architectural wonders and religious epicentres co-exist with buzzing cafes and fashion conscious locals. Providing the backdrop for many classic movies, Rome is one of the most picturesque locales in the world. Now the capital of Italy, and once the capital city of the great Roman Empire, the history of Rome spans over two thousand years. A walk down the streets feels like a walk down a museum, with relics of great structures and monumental buildings around every corner. The grand Colosseum, the epic Pantheon and the innumerable cathedrals of the Vatican will take your breath away.
