Self-guided 7-day Italian rail loop from Milan through Bologna and Venice

Railbookers runs this independent, self-guided rail vacation in a 7-day, 6-night loop from Milan to Bologna to Venice and back, using Trenitalia throughout. Each city gets a two-night stay: Milan includes a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing tour past the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Bologna adds a small-group food tour sampling tortellini and mortadella, and Venice closes the trip with a small-group walking tour taking in the Doges' Palace and the Golden Basilica. The operator's page for this trip does not publish a day-by-day itinerary or hotel names, so exact daily activities and accommodation standard are not detailed here. This trip suits travelers who want an independently paced introduction to northern Italy's food and architecture.
