ABOUT THE DESTINATION:

Rome: history, culture and experiences all year round

Rome, the “Eternal City”, combines millennia of history, vibrant culture and a unique atmosphere in every season. Walking through its cobbled streets, discovering the majesty of the Colosseum, the Roman Forum or the Trevi Fountain, and wandering across iconic squares like Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna turns every visit into a true journey through time.

The city is perfect for both couples and families: interactive museums, parks, artisan gelato shops and cultural activities ensure there is always something for everyone. Throughout the year, Rome hosts concerts, festivals, exhibitions and traditional celebrations, creating a lively atmosphere in every season.

For sports lovers, attending a football match at the Stadio Olimpico is an unforgettable experience. These kinds of activities can also be included as part of your trip.

With TUI, you can create your trip your way: choose your package, add excursions, activities and events — even sports tickets — and keep all travel components organised in one place.

ABOUT THE DESTINATION: Florence is as vital and beautiful today as when its wool and silk merchants and bankers revolutionized the economy of 13th century Tuscany, and the art of Dante and Michelangelo stunned the world. Florence was the centre of the Italian Renaissance. The fruits of the city’s rebirth are still evident in its seemingly endless array of museums, churches and palazzi. With its historic centre classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Duomo, the elegant and beautiful cathedral, dominates the city and is an unmistakable reference point in your wanderings. The River Arno, which cuts through the oldest part of the city, is crowned with the Ponte Vecchio bridge lined with shops and held up by stilts. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the only bridge that survived attacks during WWII. Standing by the river at night, when the city is illuminated with a myriad twinkling lights, is unforgettable. But more remains of Florence’s incomparable heritage than stones and paint, the city’s indomitable spirit has also survived the centuries, ensuring Florentine life today its liveliness and sophistication.
