Florence and Rome

Independent rail trip pairing Florence's art with Rome's ancient sights

Railbookers sells Florence and Rome as an independent rail vacation, meaning travelers make their own way rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 7 days and 6 nights, with three nights in Florence and three nights in Rome, connected by train. In Florence, the days center on Renaissance art at the city's galleries. In Rome, they turn to the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps, and the Vatican City. The operator describes both stops as romantic cities with good food and notable architecture. It suits couples and independent travelers who want two classic Italian cities on one trip, with an even split of time between them rather than a rushed one-night stopover.
