Perhaps you will join an optional food tour dinner and taste your way around Rome's bohemian Trastevere district. 

Day 4: Tuesday, April 16, 2024 - Rome: Make the most of a free day in Italy's capital city. Perhaps you will join an optional tour in the morning to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica, taking in world-renowned wonders such as the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo's mural of the Last Judgement. In the afternoon, consider strolling through the Borghese Gardens for views of the city's skyline or meander through Rome's medieval Campo de' Fiori district. 

Day 5: Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - Rome - Montecassino - Amalfi Coast: Journey to the Amalfi Coast, an iconic coastline of rocky beaches and towering cliffs. En route, make a stop at the Benedictine monastery of Montecassino, perched on a mountaintop that played a pivotal role in World War II. Discover its history while exploring the monastery's ornate chapel, courtyards, and museum. In the afternoon, settle into the Amalfi Coast, your new home for the next 5 nights.

Wander through the narrow streets of the city center, perhaps exploring the peaceful courtyard of St. Francis Church or sampling some gelato made with local lemons.

Spend time in the town of Amalfi. A former trading hub, Amalfi is now a quiet coastal town of historic landmarks and a black-and-white marble cathedral. Explore on your own before continuing to Minori, where you'll get to sample local specialties at a family-owned limoncello factory. Savor a traditional Italian afternoon break at a local cafe and pastry shop before an evening at leisure.
