DAY 4: ROME

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you are free to relax and explore the city on your own and in the afternoon you will drive towards the Sorrento area.

    Suggested itinerary: Before leaving for Sorrento, we suggest visiting the Vatican Museums, a huge complex of galleries containing some of the most important Italian artworks, from paintings and sculptures to tapestries and classical antiquities. Adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica, the kilometers of corridors in the Vatican Museums connect buildings and courtyards housing the Pinacoteca, the Egyptian Museum, the Tapestry Gallery, the Pio-Clementino Museum, and the Gallery of Maps. But the crown jewels are the Sistine Chapel, famous for Michelangelo's ceiling and The Last Judgment, and the 16th-century frescoes in the Raphael Rooms. Drive to Sorrento. Overnight in the Sorrento area.

DAY 5: AMALFI COAST

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you are free to relax and explore the city on your own or you can choose to spend the day on the Amalfi Coast, one of the most spectacular coasts in Europe.

    Suggested itinerary: Visit the famous towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello to stroll through the beautiful streets, browse boutiques, or do whatever you like. Stop first in Positano to see the beautiful beach and do some shopping. Continue to Amalfi, famous for its colorful cathedral and its paper-making history. Enjoy some free time in Amalfi for lunch (own expenses). Visit the hilltop town of Ravello after lunch to admire the spectacular views. Overnight stay.

In the afternoon, return by car to the Sorrento area. Overnight stay.

DAY 7: POMPEII & CASERTA

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you must drive back to Rome. We suggest visiting Pompeii and/or Caserta.

    Suggested itinerary: Start your day driving to Pompeii. After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii remained buried and forgotten for centuries under lava. Excavations, which began in the 18th century, continue to this day. Walk through some of the ancient streets where you can see the baths, forums, and villas built by wealthy Romans around 80 BC. It is almost incredible how the fabulous frescoes adorning the walls and floors of the villas have been preserved. In the afternoon, drive to Caserta to visit the Royal Palace of Caserta, commissioned in the 18th century by Charles of Bourbon, King of Naples and Sicily, and known as the largest royal residence in the world. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Return to Rome for overnight stay.
