Two cities. A thousand years of beauty.
Venice is a city built on water, where the streets are canals and the taxis are boats. Getting lost in its alleys is half the fun, and every turn opens onto a quiet square or a postcard view.
A quick high-speed train ride brings you to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance: Michelangelo’s David, Brunelleschi’s dome and Tuscan wine country just beyond the city walls. Together they are Italy at its most unforgettable.
Six things your team will talk about for years
