Itinerary

Start Rome
Day 1
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Hotel Genova (or similar)
Welcome to Rome! Once known as the 'capital of the world' this richly historic, passionate and elegant city will steal our hearts as soon as we arrive. We'll meet and greet our Contiki crew at 4pm and enjoy an included dinner this evening.
Rome to Naples
Day 2
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Hotel Real Orto Botanico (or similar)
Today we're headed to another richly historical and cultural city, known for it's naturally beautiful sights and excellent cuisine.  Welcome to Naples, the rough and ready but oh so charming city which encapsulates everything we love about Italy. The home of pizza, a hub of culture, and a bundle of passionate Italian energy, this is also the site of Mt Vesuvius, the infamous active volcano. Today we have the option to check out the ruins of Pompeii, the fascinating Roman town that was destroyed by Vesuvius and then perfectly preserved in volcanic ash. Another option today is to take a tour, learning about the city, it's history and it's food culture.
Naples to Amalfi Coast
Day 3
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Grand Hotel Salerno (or similar)
We're headed to the coast today to check out some of the most glamorous seascapes in Europe. Here you'll have free time to explore Sorrento's cliffs, coasts and cafes, followed by an included lunch at La Sorgente for a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience. On route to our next stop, have you're Camera's at the ready for a quick snap of the stunning Positano as we drive by.  Our last stop-off for today is Salerno, where you'll have a free night to explore the Roman ruins, museums, gardens and sea views.
Amalfi Coast
Day 4
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Grand Hotel Salerno (or similar)
We've got a free day on the Amalfi coast today. Lucky us. We've got plenty of optionals, including two MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experiences. First up, we'll visit a lemon farm to learn how these huge, sunshine-coloured fruits are harvested and turned into limoncello. Next, we're off for a Tastes of Amalfi dinner on an eco-sustainable farm, washed down with... you guessed it... lemon liqueur.
Amalfi Coast to Rome
Day 5
Duration: 1
Accommodation: Hotel Genova (or similar)
We're headed back to Rome today. Time for the Colosseum? Back in Rome we recommend taking our optional Emperors & Gladiators tour, where you'll skip the queues and enter the jaw-dropping Colosseum through the exclusive Emperor's gate. This is the perfect way to learn about this fascinating, blood-stained arena, in which Romans used to flock to watch epic battles between elephants, tigers, and gladiators. Then, we have a free night to check out the nightlife and toast what has been an unforgettable Italian adventure.
End Rome
Day 6

Hold our gelato. Our hearts are melting as we bid a final ‘Ciao’ to our Contiki crew after a trip we’ll never forget.
