7 nights. Italy, Spain, France

Day 1

genoa, italy

Departure: 18:00

Genoa is a city of contrasts: it is a city of art as well as an industrial city. It has glass skyscrapers and medieval towers, business centers and untouched historical sites. Genoa is one of Italy’s most significant ports that now houses Europe’s largest aquarium and the biggest maritime history museum in the Mediterranean. Wandering through its narrow, winding lanes, known as caruggi, visitors will uncover architectural treasures, some outstanding museums and art galleries. Porta Soprana, the most famous gate in the ancient Genoa city walls, leads to the Piazza de Ferrari, with its Palace of the Doges and the Opera House. Along the Strade Nuove, a breathtaking avenue listed as a World Heritage Site, is where we find the Palazzi dei Rolli, a list of aristocratic homes that serve as a reminder of the city’s imperial past. Genoa is a mysterious and reserved city, it will guide you to fantastic bars, share its cuisine and offer you a taste of culture, but it’ll need to get to know you first.

Day 2

la spezia, italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 18:00

The city of La Spezia is situated in the Liguria region of Northern Italy and serves as the capital of the province bearing the same name. It is nestled in the Gulf of La Spezia, also referred to as Golfo dei Poeti (of the poets), as it was once home to renowned English poets such as Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and George Byron (1788-1824). La Spezia is known for its commercial port, one of the most significant in Italy, but it also houses one of the country's largest military industries, OTO Melara. Despite La Spezia's modern appearance (most of its buildings were constructed after 1920), the surrounding area is rich in attractions. The region boasts picturesque villages like Lerici, Portovenere (a traditional fishing village), and the Cinque Terre, where a national Natural Park has been established. Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto have been recognized as world heritage sites by UNESCO.

Modern and ancient, past and present coexist, constantly. Whether you're in Rome for 3 days, 3 weeks or 3 months, be ready to step into the world's largest open-air museum. Rome will charm you and it will hardly leave you unaffected. It will astonish you, as it has so much to offer to any visitor, and its beauty has merely been slightly obscured by the passage of time. Rome is one of the world's most photogenic cities - not surprising when you consider what's here - The Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, St Peter's Square, Spanish Steps, Colosseum... Whether you spend your time sightseeing, or lounging in cafes watching the world pass by, it will be your turn to star in your very own Roman Holiday. If you can plan to stay for at least a week, you won't run out of things to do and you'll still feel like you're leaving too soon.

Day 5

palma de mallorca, spain

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 21:00

Palma de Mallorca is the only true city on the island. It's a city located on the island of Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain. The city has evolved into a destination in its own right, rather than just a brief stop for vacationers on their way to the island's numerous beach resorts. This is due to its increasingly cosmopolitan vibe, its cutting-edge galleries and museums, a vibrant cultural scene, and a growing number of stylish boutiques, trendy bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. Palma de Mallorca is a fantastic place to visit. The city boasts a rich architectural diversity, with various styles blending together. The remnants of Arab and Jewish cultures, the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture of its churches, convents, and manor houses, along with its comprehensive infrastructure of cultural attractions, make Palma a unique cultural destination. Don't miss the chance to stroll through the narrow streets, take a close look at the interior courtyards, and look up to admire the impressive architecture on the tops of various buildings where Gaudi and his followers left their mark. The city's heritage faithfully reflects the peoples and cultures that have passed through the island over the centuries. As a versatile, cosmopolitan city on the beach, Palma, the capital of the Balearic Islands, has something to offer everyone.

Day 7

cannes, france

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 19:00

Certainly! Here is a translation of your English text into American English (with some minor adjustments for clarity and style, as the original is already in English): Once a small fishing village, Cannes is now a glamorous and expensive seaside town considered one of Europe’s social hotspots. Its time to shine comes in May, when it hosts the Cannes Film Festival and welcomes the rich and famous. During the festival, fans can see actors, celebrities, and directors up close on the iconic steps of the Palais des Festivals at the end of La Croisette. While Cannes’ nightlife, casinos, and upscale restaurants give the city an exclusive vibe, there are also options for every budget. Visitors can explore the beauty and architecture of Le Suquet, with its cobblestone streets and stunning views, or relax at a sidewalk café and enjoy the popular pastime of people-watching along the picturesque marina.
