DESCRIPTION:

If you take NO OTHER trip in 2023 - take this one. An epic 15-day adventure half-way around the world includes the exotic, the extraordinary and the sublime. Take in an exhibition of the world-famous Lippanzer stallions at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, learn the secrets of mouth-watering apple strudel and taste the finished product at Schonbrunn Palace.  Marvel at the impressive facades of Buda Castle in Budapest.  Step back in time to medieval revelry in Prague.  Cruise the Danube from Bratislava. 

 

Following five nights in Vienna, board the Nightjet overnight rail to Italy's fashion capitol: Milan.  For three days and two nights, get up and personal with Michaelangelo's "Last Supper" add a new piece to your wardrobe, check out Milan's hip vibes and soak up the Italian sun. 

 

Wave good-bye to Milan as you travel south, via a stop at the Leaning Tower of Pisa, to Florence.  Four days and three nights in Florence allow plenty of time to explore this art and sculpture treasure trove. Be sure to take home a replica of "The David" before heading on to the birthplace of the genius Leonardo DaVinci.  Encounter working replicas of his inventions you can see and touch, walk his footsteps in his humble dwelling, round out your day with a countryside lunch and wine tasting.

 

Who doesn't enjoy fast cars? Spend a thrilling morning touring the Ferrari factory and Ferrari museum in Modena.  Sample Parmesan cheese in Parma and separate fact from fiction in Verona as your guide recounts facts that may surprise you about Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.  

 

Enjoy four leisurely days in Venice.  Your journey would not be complete without a signature ride down a venetian canal.  But you can also look forward to Venetian mask making, glassblowing and more!  Sure to elevate your spirit and provide new insights on cultural similarities.  Come taste, feel, share & experience a vacation like no other.
