La Dolce Vita – Italy

Fly to Rome, the Eternal City, and lose yourself in the tiny backstreets of the Trastevere district sipping on an Aperol Spritz at sundown before seeking out a neighbourhood restaurant in which to indulge your taste buds. Flit from the striking Spanish Steps, overflowing with florals to the thundering Trevi Fountain and the cavernous ring of the Colosseum, before retiring to your hotel in the heart of the city for a well-earned rest.  Travel north via train to the Renaissance city of Florence, often described as an open air museum thanks to its plethora of architectural gems. Cross the Ponte Vecchio, a bridge that carries its weighty history as well as it does its foot passengers; following in the steps of Dante, Brunelleschi, and Michelangelo. Once you’ve finished marveling at the attractions of the venerable Uffizi Gallery or made eye contact with the famous David, there are plenty of gelaterias to sample; which one will get your pick?  Your next destination is a showstopper: the dreamy canals and gently arching bridges of Venice. Defying both logic and architectural techniques, the city stands as beautiful as it was the day it came into fruition, an incredibly well-preserved network of waterways, grand palazzos and world-class galleries just waiting to be explored.  Lastly, to Milan: here the spires of the grand cathedral pierce the sky and the shopping is second to none, from designer boutiques to quirky, one of a kind shops where you can pick up the perfect souvenir of your trip.
