Itinerary
4 Nights – Florence
3 Nights – Bologna
✈ UK – Florence (4 Nights): First we will fly you from the UK to Florence, and then meet you on arrival to take you to your hotel, where you will be staying for your first 4 Nights.
Situated on the banks of the Arno river, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and is an art-lover’s dream, being home to a number of world-class art galleries such as the Uffizi Gallery which has an amazing collection of Renaissance sculptures and paintings by the likes of da Vinci, Francesca and Botticelli. You can also see famous works of art at the Palatina Gallery and the Accademia Gallery, which has Michelangelo’s masterpiece ‘David’ and many other stunning works of art. A large part of Florence is pedestrianised, so perfect for exploring on foot. Take in the sights of the Piazza della Signoria, the Palazzo Vecchio and the Piazza del Duomo whilst enjoying this beautifully preserved mediaeval city. Another ‘must-see’ is the Basilica di San Miniato al Monte which is situated just outside the city, on the top of a hill, but is well worth the trip for the incredible views and architecture.
🚂 Florence to Bologna (3 Nights): After checking out of your hotel in Florence, you’ll travel by train to Bologna, where you’ll be staying for a further 3 nights.
Bologna is a lively city, claimed by many to be Italy’s gastronomic capital. Wonder the endless arcades, and explore the various boutiques. Take in the cities many medieval and Renaissance buildings, and most of all enjoy the captivating dining experiences on offer.
✈ Bologna to UK: On your final day, we’ll transfer you to Bologna Airport, for your flights to the UK.

From the beginning of the planning period to the end of the holiday Dave was super helpful. He understood our requirements and organised all the travel and accommodation perfectly. Will definitely use Eshores again especially if planning a more complex trip.

We haven't travelled yet, so I am only commenting on the booking process. Emily at eShores has been great, tailoring our holiday to meet our needs, getting back to me on each step promptly. I can't fault my experience with eShores at all. Will put full review after holiday.

Asked for a price on a holiday which was calculated within a day. Every query, online, was answered within hours. Hotels suggested were good quality and value. After being given such a good price I contacted Kadie by phone to book. She was super helpful, very efficient and lovely to chat to and explain some of my choices. This not the 1st time I have booked with this company and it won't be my last
