The route starts from Rome, ancient Roman city, and seat of the Vatican to continue towards Siena, reference city of fantastic Tuscany. Later, visit Florence, city of Tuscany, and cultural, historical, administrative, and economic center of the region to reach Pisa, capital of the homonymous Province of Tuscany. Finally, we come to Genoa, a port city of reference for centuries, and of unparalleled beauty.
The most important thing to visit in Rome is the Roman Colosseum, the church of San Pietro in Vincoli, the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon of Agrippa, the St. Peter's Square and Basilica in the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, and the Baths of Caracalla. Keep in mind that it is a fairly large city, with an abundant cultural offer, but you can spend three full days and visit the most important.
