You can devote the last part of your itinerary to visiting Ponte Vecchio and the river flowing beneath it, the Arno. Return and overnight stay in Rome.

DAY 4: ROME

  • Breakfast at the hotel. On this day you are free to relax and explore the city independently and in the afternoon you will drive to the Sorrento area.

    Suggested itinerary: Before heading to Sorrento, we suggest visiting the Vatican Museums, an enormous complex of galleries containing some of the most important Italian works of art, from paintings and sculptures to tapestries and classical antiquities. Adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica, the miles of corridors of the Vatican Museums connect buildings and courtyards that house the Picture Gallery, the Egyptian Museum, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Pio-Clementine Museum, and the Gallery of Maps. But the real 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. On this day you are free to relax and explore the city independently or you may choose to spend the day on the Amalfi Coast, one of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe.

    Suggested itinerary: Visit the famous towns of Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello to stroll through the beautiful streets, browse the boutiques, or do whatever you prefer. Stop first in Positano to see the beautiful beach and do a bit of shopping. Continue to Amalfi, famous for its colorful cathedral and its history tied to paper production. Enjoy some free time in Amalfi for lunch (at your own expense). After lunch, visit the hilltop town of Ravello to admire the spectacular views. Overnight stay.

DAY 6: CAPRI & ANACAPRI

  • Breakfast at the hotel. On this day you are free to relax and explore the city independently or you may choose to spend the day in Capri.

    Suggested itinerary: Breathe in the Mediterranean breeze as you reach the island by boat. Head to the elegant town of Capri and take a walking tour, including a visit to the Augustus Gardens with views of the Faraglioni. Then choose to visit the hilltop village of Anacapri or take the chairlift to Monte Solaro. In the afternoon, return by car to the Sorrento area. 
    Overnight stay.

DAY 7: POMPEII & CASERTA

  • Breakfast at the hotel. On this day you must return by car to Rome. We suggest visiting Pompeii and/or Caserta.

    Suggested itinerary: Begin the day by driving to Pompeii. After the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii remained buried and forgotten for centuries under lava. Excavations, which began as early as the 18th century, continue to this day. Walk along some of the ancient streets where you can see the baths, forums, and villas built by wealthy Romans around 80 BC. It is almost unbelievable how the fabulous frescoes decorating 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.
