You will start the day early morning, after breakfast, and go on your own to Termini station, to leave to Florence.

Florence, the capital of the Tuscany Region, used to be the center of the Italian and European artistic culture for centuries, as one might see by its many museums, palaces, churches and monuments. Framed by two hills and crossed by the river Arno, Florence is a city that konws how to take care of its historical heritage and at the same time becoming an emerging focus of modern culture.

Greca Tip: Take advantage of this afternoon to visit the famous Ponte Vecchio and wander around its many jewelery and goldsmith shops.

After a tasty breakfast, we will have a free day in the city of art. We recommend the optional tour to the Accademia Gallery.

Art, history and culture run through the veins of Florence. In 1748, to encourage the study and practice of art, the then Grand Duke Peter Leopold founded the Galleria del'Accademia, known as the Accademia Gallery. The practical teaching school was equipped with a wide variety of art materials, including plaster, paint, models and canvases, along with antique paintings and models.

This movement launched artists such as Jacopo di Cione and Bernardo Daddi into the spotlight, right into the leagues of famous artists such as Michelangelo and Giotto. Today, the Accademia Gallery is one of the most visited museums in Florence.

Greca Tip: Be sure to visit the Palazzo Vecchio which acted as the seat of government when Florence was the capital of the country.

After breakfast, we will board the train to Venice. Once in the city of canals, we will transfer to the hotel on our own. We will have the rest of the day free.

Venice is one of the most romantic cities in the world and it has earned this title in its own right because the charm that its bridges and canals exude have made it one of the most visited destinations in the world. Located in the northeast of Italy, the city stands on a group of islands on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.

Tip Greca: Getting lost is easy and necessary, It is made up of seven neighborhoods, all of them labyrinthine, with more than 3,000 alleys, and narrow streets, some with no exit or simply with access to one of the small canals that come from the great canal.

We will have breakfast at our hotel and have a free day in romantic Venice.

Venice offers us its splendor of past centuries, thanks to its Renaissance palaces such as the Palazzo Ducale, Palazzo Ca'Dario and Palazzo Tiero, among others, and also its quiet streets lined with beautiful canals traveled by gondolas that transport us to other centuries.

The Gondola, that small boat that plies the lagoon waters, is so closely linked to the image of the city that it is part of its own identity and history. The canals would not be the same without the presence of the gondolas that give them that serene, elegant and romantic air.

Greca Tip: Remember that Venice has one of the largest and most chaotic historic centers in the world, it is best to download the map of Venice from the maps.me application.

In the morning, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast, and then, your trip will come to an end.

After spending some fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Bon voyage! Or, as you say yourself: "Buon Viaggio!"
