Day 1 BOARD YOUR OVERNIGHT TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT.

Day 2 ARRIVE IN ROME, ITALY.
Welcome to Italy! Upon arrival you will be met and transferred to your hotel. The balance of the day is at leisure in the "Eternal City."

Day 3 ROME. "Rome was not built in a day," so the saying goes. The wealth of monuments, statues, buildings, temples and more attests to this observation. With a history dating back at least as far as 753 B.C., the true origins of the city are en - veloped in myth and legend. However, once established, the city quickly grew, with kings and emperors leaving their marks by means of imposing structures, a myriad of which are still standing ± at least in part. See many of these ancient buildings and some of their more modern counter - parts on a city sightseeing tour. Your tour includes all the main attractions: Republic Square, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon,
Piazza Navona, St. Angelo Castle and impressive St. Peter's Basilica. The afternoon and evening are at leisure. Your local host will be available to help you make the most of your time. (B)

Day 4 ROME. A full free day in this historic city. You may want to explore the remains of ancient Rome in more depth, or visit one of the many museums and galleries. Discover Rome's hidden treasures at your own pace or join one of the exciting optional excursions that will be available. The choice is yours ± there is plenty to do and see in the "City of the Seven Hills." (B)

Day 5 ROME / SORRENTO. This morning transfer on your own to the Rome train station for your trip to Naples. Upon arrival here, you will be met and transferred to Sorrento and your selected hotel. The balance of the day is at leisure. (B)

Days 6-7 SORRENTO. Set on the beautiful Gulf of Naples, Sorrento is a historic and elegant resort, surrounded by lemon and orange groves, gardens, green hills and wonderful beaches. Explore the town on your own, viewing centuries-old churches, piazzas, cathedrals, museums and more. You may just want to relax on the beach and enjoy the views. Perhaps join an optional excursion to Pompeii or to the Island of Capri. Ask your Brendan Specialist for ideas and pricing (B daily)
