Best Time to Visit
April–June and September–October are among the most favourable periods to visit Milan, Florence, Cinque Terre and Venice, offering a good balance of pleasant weather, sightseeing conditions and generally more manageable crowds than the peak summer months.
Arrive in Milan, Italy’s fashion and financial capital. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your centrally located hotel. After check-in, spend the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps enjoy a relaxed evening stroll around Piazza del Duomo or take in the grandeur of the iconic Duomo di Milano, offering a stylish first glimpse of the city.
Overnight in Milan.
Breakfast at the hotel. Today is yours to discover Milan at your own pace: admire the magnificent Duomo di Milano, stroll through the elegant Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, explore the historic Sforza Castle, or visit the iconic Santa Maria delle Grazie (home to The Last Supper, available as an optional add-on). In the evening, we recommend dinner in the lively Navigli District for an authentic Milanese experience.
Overnight in Milan.
After breakfast, check out and make your way to Milano Centrale. Board the train to Florence (approx. 1h 50–2h depending on service). On arrival, transfer to your hotel and settle in before spending the afternoon exploring Florence’s compact historic centre — admire the iconic Duomo di Firenze, stroll across the charming Ponte Vecchio, and wander through the artisan streets of the Oltrarno. Evening at leisure.
Overnight in Florence.
Set off from Florence in a comfortable van, travelling in an intimate group of no more than eight guests accompanied by a knowledgeable tour leader. After a scenic two-hour drive, arrive at Manarola—one of the most picturesque villages of Cinque Terre—where you can admire its colourful cliffside houses and capture stunning photos, with free time to explore at your leisure.
Continue by ferry along the coastline to Vernazza, wandering through its charming streets and discovering its rich history and local character. A short 15-minute train ride then brings you to Riomaggiore, where you can sample regional delicacies, visit the historic defensive tower, experience authentic village life, or even enjoy a refreshing swim.
From here, a brief train journey followed by a 1.5-hour drive takes you to the iconic Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the world-famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and other remarkable monuments within this UNESCO-listed site. After a full day of unforgettable sights and experiences, relax on the drive back to Florence. The itinerary is thoughtfully designed to ensure ease of travel, taking into account the walking challenges typical of the Cinque Terre villages.
Overnight in Florence.
After breakfast check out and get to Florence SMN station for your train to Venice (approx. 2h). Arrive at Venezia Mestre or Venezia Santa Lucia depending on the service; make your way to the hotel. Afternoon at leisure — an early evening vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal is a memorable way to begin your Venice stay.
