Travel further south after crossing the border into Italy before arriving in Venice. On arrival, check in at your hotel and enjoy a three-night stay. DAY 9 - VENICE

Venice, ‘the floating city’, still casts its spell on visitors each year as it has done since the 18th century. Discover for yourself with a gondola ride down the Grand Canal or by just sitting in a pavement café and enjoying the spectacular views with a glass of local Prosecco. DAY 10 - VENICE TO ROME

After breakfast in Venice, take the high-speed train across Italy from Venice to the Italian capital - Rome. On arrival, make your way to your hotel and check in for a two-night stay.
