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 />

As part of Canada’s Travel Industry 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 />
