Italy by train in 8 days

Ancient Rome, Renaissance Florence, the canals of Venice and Leonardo's Last Supper in Milan, linked by fast trains.

1. Rome: Rome has been a city for almost three thousand years. See the Colosseum and the Forum, visit the Vatican's art, then have dinner in the lanes of Trastevere.
2. Florence: Florence was home to many famous painters. See Renaissance paintings at the Uffizi, meet Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, and climb the dome for views over the roofs.
3. Venice: Venice sits on a lagoon of canals, with no cars. Take a water bus along the Grand Canal, see St Mark's Square, and visit the Doge's Palace with its Bridge of Sighs.
4. Milan: Milan is a big city for design and business. Climb to the rooftops of the Duomo, book a timed visit to Leonardo's The Last Supper, and walk the glass-roofed Galleria.
