Why not use this free day to visit the Vatican City to see the incredible architecture, impressive collection of artwork and the famous Sistine Chapel? Another great way to spend your day is to discover one of the things Italy is most famous for - food! Taste a range of authentic local treats just by wandering the city and stopping at a café or two. Alternatively, simply explore and absorb the unique atmosphere of this beautiful city.

It’s time to hit the road and see more of Italy! Travel through the scenic Umbria region which is famous for its produce and beautiful mountain landscapes. Arrive at Orvieto and take a funicular to the historic centre of this city dramatically perched atop a sheer volcanic rock cliff!
