The hidden treasures of Italy are yours to discover on this unforgettable vacation that includes 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. You’ll 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, the Academy Gallery with Michelangelo’s impressive Statue of David, and the Doge’s Palace. In addition, you’ll travel through Italy’s lovely region of Tuscany to the mystical city of Siena. Here narrow Gothic streets lead to the historic Piazza del Campo, ringed with shops and cafés, and renowned for its famous Palio horse race that has taken place every year since 1644. As you journey through central Italy, the medieval city of Padua is where you’ll view the 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.
