Espresso Tour

Fly to Venice and join one of our cheap trips to Italy with Unitrips.

This first day, depending on the time of your arrival in Venice, you will be able to have a walk through the city and get to know the streets and squares.

Venice had the honour of being crowned one of the most powerful, rich and populated cities over a period of many years in the past. It dominated trading routes in both the Mediterranean and the Orient. What´s more the art that was fostered here is one of a kind which can clearly be exemplified in the works of Marco Polo.

Did you know…

• The last bridge built in Venice was designed by a Spanish architect: Calatrava.
• Sometimes in Venice there occurs a phenomenon called “Acqua Alta”. This causes a huge rise in water level in the Venice lagoon, which usually lasts about 3–4 hours. Depending on the intensity with which it occurs, most of the old town can flood, with half a metre of water.
• Cars are forbidden in Venice, as well as bicycles. If used, you are fined. The only way to get around the city is on foot or by water.
• Although when strolling through Venice you get the impression that there are many canals, there are only two- the Canal Grande and the Giudecca Canal. The rest of the small canals that flow between the narrow streets are called rivers.

Today we continue one of our cheap trips in Italy and say goodbye to Venice and head directly to Florence.

Florence is a city that is full of life, especially at night! Here you can enjoy the university party in the Santa Croce zone. You will be able to visit many artworks in the Uffizi museum, or if you don’t fancy being in a museum, you can walk through the hills of Florence. From there you can observe the mythical Arch of Brunelleschi, which dominates the whole city.

After admiring this small city with more than 3000 years of history, we will continue on our route through Europe and head to another jewel of Italy, Pisa.

Today, on one of our cheap trips in Italy, we will wake up early to spend a few hours in Pisa, getting to know its small and enchanting steets, and why not enjoy a Tiramisu.

In the afternoon you can join us on our excursion to the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa and the 5 most picturesque towns of the Spezia coast, Cinque Terre. Start thinking of all the original photos you can take with the Tower of Pisa!? Tag us!!

If you decide to come with us, make sure you are well rested! Bring your swimsuit, towel and sun cream, as after so much art we will relax in one of the most unique places in the world: 5 Terre. 5 little villages with houses of all colours, which are among green mountains and which overlook the deep blue of the Ligurian Sea!! A place where pollution has hardly made a dent. There are hardly any cars and the way to go from one village to another is by walking or on a spectacular little train that travels by the sea.

Late night we will head towards the old Capti Mundi to continue our route through Europe.

*Optional Activity:

• Excursion to Pisa + Cinque Terre

Did you know…

• These are five small towns on the Italian coast over ten kilometres of rocky coast enclosed by two cliffs, Punta di Mesco and Punta di Montenero.
• They were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
• It consists of Monterosso Al Mare, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore and Corniglia.
• It is a natural park with a blue sea that will amaze you.
• The most remarkable thing about Pisa is its sloping tower. Millions of tourists flock to her and the typical “holding it” photo every year.
• The Tower of Pisa, is considered, next to the cathedral of which it is part, one of the jewels of Romanesque art, and the government has requested help on several occasions to prevent it from collapsing.

We will drop the anchor in Barcelona!

After a complete day on the ferry, we will arrive in Barcleona late at night and head straight to the hotel.

Little by little our tour through Europe is reaching an end!

Today we will wake up early in Barcelona, eat breakfast and after checking out of the hotel we will start our last day with a guided tour of the city. Enjoy the streets, squares and every corner of the city that makes it the tourist capital of the world: from the Sagrada Familia to the Passeig de Gracia, walking down the mythical Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter with its impressive cathedral.

After an intense day, we will have some free time to eat dinner and in the late evening we will begin our journey back to Madrid, arriving at the hotel late.

Did you know…

• The construction of Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia is endless. The architect stated that “God had all the time on the planet to see it completed”. The cathedral is so big and complex that no one knows when and IF it will ever be finished.
• There is a Statue of Liberty in Barcelona, in fact it’s one of only three originals. The most famous one is in New York, other in Paris and in Barcelona you can find it close to Arch of Triumph, in the Arus Library.
• Passeig de Gracia is an avenue that hosts the main masterpieces of Gaudí, the idol of architecture of the 20th century. You will be amazed by his famous houses Pedrera and Battló.

After arriving late to Madrid late last night you have the morning free to explore the best of Madrid. We will say goodbye to our new friends and return home after travelling and enjoying one of our incredible cheap trips in Italy, on this Espresso tour.
