Iconic Italy: Rome to Amalfi

Day 1  Rome  
Fly to Rome and transfer to your hotel. Spend the afternoon exploring the City of Seven Hills. Stroll along its bustling streets, stopping to admire the many architectural gems, before spending the evening dining alfresco.

Days 2-3  Rome  
Spend the next two days exploring this fascinating city. Using the priority entry lane to access the Colosseum, you’ll spend less time queuing and more time exploring. Enjoy your guide’s tales on visits to the arena floor and the Gladiator’s Gate. You will also get a further insight into ancient Rome, visiting Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. Spend the rest of your time indulging in mouthwatering pizza, pasta and gelato, admiring Rome’s many timeless landmarks, from the Trevi Fountain to the Pantheon, or by ambling through the city’s maze of back streets.

Days 4-5  Rome to Sorrento  
Leave Italy’s vibrant capital behind on the local southbound train. Soon, you’ll arrive in Naples before taking a private transfer to your hotel in sophisticated Sorrento. Perhaps visit the traditional fishing village of Marina Grande or relax in a café in the central square, soaking up Sorrento’s laidback atmosphere. The following morning, join a group tour to the UNESCO World Heritage listed archaeological site of Pompeii. Wander amongst the ancient city ruins and learn about the infamous eruption of Mount Vesuvius, before climbing to the crater.

Day 6  Sorrento to Positano  
Be whisked away by transfer to your Amalfi Coast hotel in Positano. With Positano as your base, opt to explore the glamorous Amalfi coastline, dotted with quintessential pastel-painted villages. The sprawling cliffs and glittering waters will be your backdrop.

Days 7-9  Positano  
Spend the next three days amidst the mesmerising beauty of the Amalfi Coast. Explore the enchanting towns which cascade down the cliffs, hike along the plethora of coastal walking trails, or simply while away the hours on your hotel’s veranda.
