Tailor-make your own<br />
multi-centre holiday<br />
A multi-centre holiday combines two or more destinations in one trip, <strong>and</strong><br />
is a great way to experience Italy’s diversity. With the country’s superb rail<br />
network <strong>and</strong> a range of internal flights (both of which we can arrange <strong>and</strong><br />
book for you), creating your dream multi-centre trip has never been easier.<br />
Take a look at some of our favourite multi-centre combinations below or call<br />
our Italy Experts to create your own bespoke itinerary.<br />
Rome & Sorrento<br />
This popular multi-centre itinerary covers two of the most well known locations in Italy <strong>and</strong> is perfect<br />
for first time visitors. Spend a few days in the magnificent capital, home to an overwhelming collection<br />
of historic sights, like the Spanish Steps, St Peter's Basilica <strong>and</strong> the epic Colosseum. Follow this up with a<br />
stay in Sorrento, a beautiful jumble of pastel-shaded buildings flowing down the hillside to the sea <strong>and</strong> the<br />
perfect base for visiting the jewels of the Amalfi Coast.<br />
Verona & Lake Garda<br />
Verona is the setting of Shakespeare's greatest love story Romeo <strong>and</strong> Juliet, <strong>and</strong> provides a wonderful<br />
blend of inspirational architecture, sacred art <strong>and</strong> world-renowned gastronomy. The next part of the trip<br />
is Lake Garda, stretching between the Alps <strong>and</strong> the Dolomites. Italy’s largest lake showcases a diverse<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scape, ranging from low-lying countryside on its southern borders to forest-clad peaks in the north.<br />
During your stay, enjoy the peaceful lake vistas <strong>and</strong> hop along the lake’s edge to the many pictureperfect<br />
towns, such as Sirmione, with its narrow lanes <strong>and</strong> thermal springs, <strong>and</strong> Malcesine, known as the<br />
'botanical garden of Europe'.<br />
Venice, Florence & Rome<br />
Tick off the big three with the ultimate Italian city break. Make Venice your first port of call; travel along<br />
palazzo-edged canals on a gondola, marvel at the golden mosaics of St Mark’s Basilica, <strong>and</strong> perhaps take<br />
a boat out to the isl<strong>and</strong>s. Then travel by train to Florence, where you can spend a couple of days admiring<br />
artworks <strong>and</strong> sipping on Tuscan reds. Another short train journey will l<strong>and</strong> you in Rome for a final few<br />
days of sightseeing. Tour the Colosseum, Roman Forum <strong>and</strong> Pantheon, <strong>and</strong> be sure to throw a coin in the<br />
Trevi Fountain.<br />
