The treasures of Italy and a full day performance of the legendary Passion Play, performed every ten years since 1634 in the village of Oberammergau, nestled in the picturesque Bavarian Alps, make this a vacation to remember. Visit Italy’s historic cities of Rome, Florence and Venice; tour Vatican City and St. Peter’s Basilica; and visit the birthplace of St. Francis in Assisi. With Collette, you’ll see all the “must-see” sights along the way like the Sistine Chapel, the famous Trevi Fountain, and the Academy Gallery with Michelangelo’s impressive Statue of David. Italy’s lovely Tuscany region is highlighted by a visit to mystical Siena and a journey through central Italy is where you’ll discover the medieval city of Padua and its impressive six-domed Saints Basilica, dedicated to Saint Anthony. Experiences on tour include a glass making demonstration on Murano Island in the Venetian Lagoon, and a short course in traditional Italian techniques of leather making in Florence. Your journey concludes with a two-night stay in the Oberammergau region where in addition to the Passion Play performance, you’ll have time to explore this lovely village.
