ITALY<br />
most beautiful cities in Italy, Florence is like an<br />
open air museum, so the best way to explore is<br />
by walking through the cobbled streets, freely<br />
admiring the piazzas and palazzos which were<br />
designed by illustrious artists such as Brunelleschi<br />
and Michelangelo. You can join our guided tour<br />
to get your bearings and see some of the main<br />
sights, before spending the afternoon at leisure.<br />
Day 6: Lucca & the Italian Coast<br />
Lucca is arguably one of Tuscany’s best-kept<br />
secrets, hidden by ancient ramparts and gardens<br />
that surround the old city. Explore Anfiteatro<br />
Square; climb the Guinigi Tower which has an<br />
ancient oak tree growing on top; wander along<br />
the typical antique dealers’ street; and remember<br />
to try the local Bucellato; sweet bread filled with<br />
raisins and aniseed. In the afternoon we return<br />
to Pisa and take the train to Genoa and a coach<br />
transfers us to Diano Marina for a relaxing fournight<br />
stay in our seafront hotel.<br />
Day 7 to 9: The Italian Riviera of Flowers<br />
For the next three days you can relax and soak<br />
up the sun in Diano Marina. Enjoy miles of sandy<br />
beach, coastal walks and the old town; you can<br />
even visit the nearby medieval village of Cervo –<br />
with its combination of cobbled alleys, terraces,<br />
arches and rooftops, it’s a delightful place to<br />
explore. We also offer an optional excursion to<br />
San Remo and Dolceacqua. San Remo is Italy’s<br />
answer to the French resort of Monte Carlo,<br />
where you can explore the atmospheric old town<br />
and the ports filled with luxurious yachts. The<br />
hilltop village of Dolceacqua enjoys a picture<br />
perfect setting, with the Nervia River running<br />
through its heart and the spectacular medieval<br />
bridge described by Claude Monet as “a jewel of<br />
lightness”.<br />
Day 10: Diano Marina – London<br />
After checking out of our hotel we are taken by<br />
coach to Nice and join the TGV to Lille for our<br />
