Also known as ‘the floating city’, Venice’s labyrinthine canals are best discovered on a romantic gondola ride. Then in the evening, make your way to St. Mark’s Square and enjoy an Italian dinner as classic quarters serenade you.
Explore Trieste on foot
Located on the shores of the Adriatic sea, Trieste’s rich culture and mesmerising architecture is best explored on foot. From the many Austro-Hungarian avenues, Piazza Dell’Unità to the gleaming waterfront, Trieste is truly sublime.
See Cinque Terre

The five, superbly bright fishing villages of Cinque Terre catch eyes from far as they are positioned on the cliffs of the Ligurian coast. It is now enclosed in a UNSECO-recognised national park and is a stunning example of classic Italian architecture. Cinque Terre, too, is best explored on foot.
Lounge away at Capri

Often referred to as “the island of dreams”, Capri is irresistible with its turquoise waters and white cliffs. The island is also enshrined in myth as it was here, in Homer’s Odyssey, that Odysseus resisted the call of the Sirens by lashing himself to his mast. You should also explore the luminous Blue Grotto, a sea cave that is unlike something you will ever see.
Witness the magnificence that is Rome
Take a page out of Malavika’s itinerary and explore Rome in all its majesty. The small cobbled streets to the grand monuments, fountains and unusual shops to the romantic plazas — Rome may be touristy but is most definitely worth a visit. Brave the rush and visit the Colosseum, Basilica, Trevi Fountain and Vatican City. There is a reason why these are some of the most popular attractions in the world.
