La Dolce Vita

Self-guided rail trip through Rome, Florence, La Spezia and Venice

La Dolce Vita is an 11-day self-guided rail trip operated by Interrailing Packages (Eurailing Packages Ltd) that starts and ends in Rome, with stops in Florence, La Spezia, and Venice. You travel independently between the four cities by train, at your own pace, with all rail transport included. The trip opens with three nights in Rome, where the highlights include standing inside the Colosseum. Three nights in Florence follow, with Michelangelo's David and a day trip to Pisa among the highlights. Two nights in La Spezia give access to the Cinque Terre villages along the coast, and the trip finishes with two nights in Venice, including a gondola ride through the canals at sunset, before a final travel day back to Rome. Interrailing Packages provides a personalised trip-planning app and 24/7 emergency support, and accommodation ranges from a shared hostel dorm to a 3-4 star hotel. This package suits independent, solo, and history-minded travellers who want Italy's major landmarks without a guided schedule.
