Independent Italy rail trip through Milan, Florence, Cinque Terre, and Rome
Railbookers operates this independent rail vacation through Italy over 10 days and 9 nights. It opens with two nights in Milan, near the city's grand Duomo, then continues to Florence for two nights among what the description calls the treasures of the Renaissance. From there, travelers take the train to the Ligurian coast for three nights in Manarola, one of the five villages of Cinque Terre, before the trip ends in Rome, described as the Eternal City. Because most stops run two nights or more, the days move at a relaxed pace rather than a rush of one-night stands. It suits history-minded travelers and those drawn to coastal village scenery, who are comfortable managing their own rail connections. Prices start at $2,449 per person.
