Let your imagination fly! Do you stroll the<br />
cobble-stoned lanes of an old Italian town?<br />
Sip espresso at a quaint café? Swim crystal<br />
waters off the Isle of Capri? Perhaps Spain’s<br />
bold architecture and fiery flamenco appeal?<br />
Canada’s rugged east coast and the soaring<br />
Rockies out west may beckon you to explore<br />
your own backyard, while a short shopping/<br />
theatre jaunt to New York or Chicago might<br />
offer just the sparkle and jolt of energy you’re<br />
looking for!<br />

Day 3: BORGO SAN LUIGI • FLORENCE •<br />
BORGO SAN LUIGI After breakfast, enjoy<br />
a relaxing drive to Florence, where you will<br />
have free time to explore the “Cradle of<br />
Renaissance.” Based on Etruscan-Roman<br />
origins, the city flourished in the Middle Ages<br />
as a free “commune” and was further refined by<br />
the Renaissance. You will be fascinated by its<br />
numerous monuments, churches, and buildings,<br />
as well as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore,<br />
more commonly referred to as the Duomo. On<br />
your visit, you will be amazed by its magnificent<br />
dome built by Filippo Brunelleschi. Cross a<br />
small piazza to see the campanile tower (partly<br />
designed by Giotto) and the baptistery, with<br />
its bronze doors that Michelangelo dubbed<br />
the “Gates of Paradise.” In the heart of the city,<br />
you will see Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo della<br />
Signoria (also known as Palazzo Vecchio), and<br />
the basilica of Santa Croce. Spend the afternoon<br />
strolling the cobblestone streets of Florence on<br />
your own before returning to Borgo San Luigi.<br />
B D<br />
Day 4: BORGO SAN LUIGI • VOLTERRA • PISA<br />
• ROME After breakfast, we check-out of the<br />
Borgo and depart for Volterra, a fascinating<br />
Tuscan city renowned for its alabaster – the<br />
translucent stone used for centuries to create<br />
vases, lamps and other works of art. Leaving<br />
Volterra, you will next reach Pisa, where you will<br />
have time to explore the Piazza dei Miracoli, the<br />
Leaning Tower (exterior visit), the Baptistery<br />
(exterior visit) and other important monuments.<br />
Choose to have a pleasant walk to Piazza dei<br />
Cavalieri, where you can admire the historic<br />
Scuola Normale, one of the most famous<br />
universities in the world. Spend time at leisure<br />
in this quaint town before returning to Rome,<br />
where your trip will come to an end. B<br />
