Itinerary
Spend the day exploring Venice on foot. Wander narrow canals and sun-drenched piazzas, watch gondolas glide past historic palazzos, and soak in the unique atmosphere of this UNESCO World Heritage city. Free time lets you visit shops, cafes, and any sights at your own pace.
St. Mark's Square is the heart of Venice and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Admire the magnificent Basilica di San Marco, the soaring Campanile bell tower, and the Doge's Palace from the outside. Watch the world go by from one of the historic cafes lining the square — a quintessential Venetian experience.
Cruise along Venice's iconic Grand Canal aboard a vaporetto water bus. This sweeping S-shaped waterway is lined with Renaissance and Gothic palazzos and is the city's main thoroughfare — the perfect way to see Venice from the water before continuing your day on foot.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
