Description
Fall in love with Italy with a 5‑night twin‑city escape for two, taking you from the rich flavours of Bologna to the Renaissance beauty of Florence.
Your adventure begins with 2 nights in Bologna, staying at the perfectly located Mercure Bologna Centro — right opposite the station and moments from the city’s iconic porticoes, trattorias, and medieval towers. Wander through food markets, sip spritzes on sunlit squares, and discover why Bologna is known as La Grassa — the foodie capital of Italy.
Then glide south by high‑speed train to Florence for 3 nights at the stylish Globus Urban Hotel. Just steps from the Duomo, you’ll wake up in the heart of the Renaissance. Explore world‑class galleries, stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, shop the leather markets, and watch golden sunsets melt over terracotta rooftops.
And because Florence is the gateway to Tuscany, drift into the rolling hills for a Chianti wine‑tasting experience — world‑class reds, warm countryside air, and vineyards that look like they were painted just for them. It’s the kind of moment that stays with you long after you’re home.
A perfect blend of culture, cuisine, architecture, and effortless Italian charm.
