Itinerary
There are no planned activities until tonight's welcome meeting. Stay: Hotel San Marco Rome
Enjoy a G Adventures supported migrant led walk of Rome before taking public transit to discover the magic of Rome's most iconic Christmas market at Piazza Navona! Built on the site of the 1st century Stadium of Domitian, this ancient site transforms into a colourful paradise boasting merchant stalls selling local handicrafts, toys, and sweets, a classic carousel, and the quintessential Christmas tree. After, walk with your CEO from Navona to Spagna learning the local history of must-see stops along the way. Stay: Hotel San Marco Rome (B)
Montepulciano is famous for producing delectable local pork, cheese, "Pici" pasta, and honey. It is also major wine producing area. Take in the stunning vistas, wander cobbled lanes, or opt to sample the local delicacies in small, family-run establishments. Stay: Albergo Duomo (B)
For those looking to travel further afield, a visit to the thermal springs of Bagni San Filippo is a popular option. Stay: Albergo Duomo (B)
The famous "Weihnachtsmarkten" is Florence's iconic Christmas market, located in the heart of the city on Piazza Santa Croce, in front of Basilica de Santa Croce. Stay: Hotel Meridiana (B)
The afternoon is yours to explore. Check out the Mercato Centrale or any number of cafés and trattorias. If you came to shop, start at one end of the city and just keep going. There's beautiful architecture, famous museums, Renaissance art pieces, and charming cobblestone streets everywhere. If you wish to go further afield, take a wine tasting bike tour up to Fiesole and the vineyards of Chianti. Stay: Hotel Meridiana (B)
Known as the “City of Canals” or “The Floating City,” Venice is one of Italy’s most famous and picturesque destinations. Between the winding canals connecting San Marco with the Santa Chiara church, the bridge of sighs, and the Doge’s Palace, there are no shortage of photo ops and iconic moments. Stay: Albergo Marin (B)
Take advantage of a full free day to experience everything that Venice has to offer including the festive atmosphere of the Christmas markets. Explore Venice’s diverse culinary scene with a food tour, take a gondola ride, or wander along canals and through the maze-like streets; pass world-class museums and incredible architecture in all directions. Regroup in the evening for an optional final dinner out with the group. Stay: Albergo Marin (B)
