ROME, ITALY
(Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays Departures)

As capital of the Roman Empire, the Papal States and Italy, Rome truly is the "Eternal City". One of the world's most elegant capitals the layers of history and the city's sheer excess of beauty can prove overwhelming to the unsuspecting visitor.

This is a city best explored on foot, with every corner offering an overlooked treasure or unforgettable panorama. Roman columns soar up aimlessly next to medieval basilicas, the sound of water splashing in fountains fills the air in front of Renaissance palaces and exuberant Romans jostle through multi-colored markets and winding cobbled streets.

Breathe the air of the Caesars in the Roman forum, stroll through the menacing Colosseum, marvel at the splendors of the Vatican Palace - and you will wonder if this can be the capital of a modern industrial nation or whether you have stepped back into the pages of history. But around these relics of history Rome is still evolving. It's at the cutting edge of fashion and cuisine and is one of the most popular shopping destinations on Earth.

So prepare to soak up history and modernity in equal measure in one of Europe's most fascinating cities. 


BOLOGNA, ITALY
(Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays Departures)

Bologna has for a long time been hidden behind Italy's other large northern cities, Milan, Venice and Florence. But now, finally, the city is taking its rightful place on many people's travel itineraries.

It's known as the "red" city to those who come to admire the splendid architecture of brick and tile, and the impressive porticoes (all 40km of them) that define the city - although others claim its Bologna's left-wing politics that are more deserving of the name. Most, though, know it as Bologna La Grassa, "the Fat". Even among the Italians, who are no slouches when it comes to cooking, and more importantly eating, Bologna is considered a feast for gastronomes.

No surprise then that Bologna is famed for its restaurants - and there are simply hundreds of them. Most serve up the Ragu Bolognese sauce, the world's favorite accompaniment to pasta, but you'll also find other cuisines have carved their niche here. The flavors of the Orient mingle with European staples and offerings from the New World.

But food is far from all that Bologna has to offer. It was one of Europe's cities of culture in 2000 and since then has had a burgeoning reputation for the arts, centered on its uniquely magnificent Teatro Comunale. The festivals of classical music, opera and drama that the city celebrates guarantee the very best quality entertainment. Its porticoed buildings are home to several world-class collections of art and around the Piazza Maggiore, the spiritual and physical heart of the city, you'll find all the stylish shopping you'd expect in a major Italian city.
