TUESDAY

We will meet at the airport at 5.30 am for our Ryanair flight departing at 8.00 am and arriving in Bologna Airport at 09.50 am. We board our coach and drive to Montecatini Alto which is a characteristic medieval village, situated a few hundred meters above the ‘new’ town. We later proceed to our hotel and in the afternoon, we shall proceed to visit Siena, most famous for the Palio, and the annual horse race held in Piazza del Campo.

WEDNESDAY

Today, we will go on our full-day optional excursion to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance. We shall see, amongst others, the complex of three attractions – the Duomo, the Baptistery, and Giotto’s Steeple. We will visit Piazza Signoria, which is the meeting place of Florentines and tourists, and proceed to nearby Ponte Vecchio noted for the various shops built along it. We will have some time for personal sightseeing and shopping.

THURSDAY

This morning, we will go on another full-day optional excursion which takes us to Pienza and Montepulciano, the two jewels of the Renaissance. Montepulciano is known for its very impressive Renaissance buildings, its beautiful churches, and especially for its “Vino Nobile” (noble wine), one of the most distinguished Italian wines in the world. There is plenty of sightseeing, and the cathedral is well worth a visit. Pienza is a UNESCO-protected town having a world-famous cultural and natural patrimony.

FRIDAY

We leave for La Spezia for a full-day optional excursion. We take a ferry (included – weather permitting) to Cinque Terre, one of the most beautiful areas of the Liguria region. Here, five small villages are nestled in the cliffs overlooking the sea and hills where the land’s finest wines are grown. We make a short stop in the picturesque village of Monterosso.

SATURDAY

Today’s optional excursion will take us to Pisa, in the morning, where we see the “Campo dei Miracoli”, the world-famous Leaning Tower, the Cathedral, and the Baptistery. We will later proceed to Viareggio city which is located on the Ligurian Sea, with 10km of beach. We will have an enjoyable time in this popular renowned worldwide tourist destination.

SUNDAY

Today’s full-day optional excursion takes us to another part of Tuscany visiting Volterra and San Gimignano. We shall make a short stop in Volterra. This city conserves a medieval aspect, not only for the 12th-century city walls, but also because of the urban layout with narrow streets, palaces, tower houses, and churches. Later, we drive to San Gimignano, probably the most famous small town in Italy, which dominates the Val d’Elsa with its breathtaking skyline bristling with towers.

MONDAY

After we check out of our hotel, we proceed to Bologna Center, which is famous for its churches, museums, and gardens, not to mention the delicious cuisine! We will later proceed to Bologna airport for our return flight departing at 4.05 pm and arriving in Malta at 5.55 pm.
