7 nights. France, Italy

Day 1

Civitavecchia (Rome), italy

Departure: 00:00

Modern and ancient, past and present coexist, constantly. Whether you're in Rome for 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months, be ready to step into the world's largest open-air museum. Rome will charm you and it will hardly leave you unaffected. It will astonish you, as it has so much to offer to any visitor, and its beauty has merely been slightly obscured by the passage of time. Rome is one of the world's most photogenic cities - not surprising when you consider what's here - The Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, St Peter's Square, Spanish Steps, Colosseum... Whether you spend your time sightseeing, or lounging in cafes watching the world pass by, it will be your turn to star in your very own Roman Holiday. If you can plan to stay for at least a week, you won't run out of things to do and you'll still feel like you're leaving too soon.

Marseille is the second biggest city in France, the largest port on the Mediterranean, and the economic center of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Marseille is situated in a stunning location, nestled between rugged limestone hills and a vast bay, and is steeped in history, which wasn't always pleasant. Marseille is a favored vacation spot, boasting 300 days of sunshine annually. Today, Marseille still retains remnants of its turbulent past, this ancient city is now very vibrant and appealing. It possesses a potent allure that invites visitors to wander through its old neighborhoods around the Old Port, in the gardens with the ancient ruins or the gardens of Longchamp Palace and, of course, on the esplanade of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Cathedral, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city.

Day 4

nice (villefranche), france

Arrival: 07:30 - Departure: 22:00

Nice endures its annual influx of tourists each summer, offering all the typical features of a Riviera town: relaxed wealth, a generous beach, museums, and flower-lined avenues, but without the pretentious detachment of its neighboring towns. Moreover, Nice boasts excellent public transportation within the city and to all destinations along the Côte d’Azur, making it an ideal base for exploring the Riviera. The city's long, narrow beach and sunbathing guests are the main attractions for most visitors. However, Nice's old town, or vieille ville, is also worth exploring. This historic district is a unique mix of glamour and a Mediterranean medieval quarter with narrow streets and open-air markets. For a breathtaking Riviera view, climb to the top of the castle. The city also houses several exceptional museums, such as the Musée Matisse, which showcases the work of French painter Henri Matisse, and the Musée National Marc Chagall, dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall. The grand Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coast. This pedestrian area is teeming with boutiques, bustling restaurants, and tourists of all kinds. Nice's nightlife is vibrant, with the maze of narrow streets in the vieille ville concealing restaurants and bars, contributing to the city's Mediterranean charm.

Day 5

genoa, italy

Arrival: 07:30 - Departure: 23:00

Genoa is a city of contrasts: it is a city of art as well as an industrial city. It has glass skyscrapers and medieval towers, business centers and untouched historical sites. Genoa is one of Italy’s most significant ports that now houses Europe’s largest aquarium and the biggest maritime history museum in the Mediterranean. Wandering through its narrow, winding lanes, known as caruggi, visitors will uncover architectural treasures, some outstanding museums and art galleries. Porta Soprana, the most famous gate in the ancient Genoa city walls, leads to the Piazza de Ferrari, with its Palace of the Doges and the Opera House. Along the Strade Nuove, a breathtaking avenue listed as a World Heritage Site, is where we find the Palazzi dei Rolli, a list of aristocratic homes that serve as a reminder of the city’s imperial past. Genoa is a mysterious and reserved city, it will guide you to fantastic bars, share its cuisine and offer you a taste of culture, but it’ll need to get to know you first.

Day 6

la spezia, italy

Arrival: 07:30 - Departure: 22:00

The city of La Spezia is situated in the Liguria region of Northern Italy and serves as the capital of the province bearing the same name. It is nestled in the Gulf of La Spezia, also referred to as Golfo dei Poeti (of the poets), as it was once home to renowned English poets such as Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and George Byron (1788-1824). La Spezia is known for its commercial port, one of the most significant in Italy, but it also houses one of the country's largest military industries, OTO Melara. Despite La Spezia's modern appearance (most of its buildings were constructed after 1920), the surrounding area is rich in attractions. The region boasts picturesque villages like Lerici, Portovenere (a traditional fishing village), and the Cinque Terre, where a national Natural Park has been established. Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto have been recognized as world heritage sites by UNESCO.
