Classic Italian Cities

This Classic Italian Cities twin centre package offers the chance to discover two of Italy’s most beloved destinations in one seamless journey. Your adventure begins in Rome, the Eternal City, where modern life flows around remnants of a glorious past. Staying at The Guardian Hotel places you within easy reach of the city’s highlights. Spend your days walking through cobbled streets that echo with history, enjoying authentic Roman cuisine, and visiting treasures like the Pantheon and the Vatican.

After soaking in Rome’s grandeur, your journey continues to Venice, the city built on water. Here, you’ll check into the Liassidi Palace Hotel, a boutique property blending Venetian tradition with comfort. From this location, you can explore the city’s maze of canals, ride a vaporetto down the Grand Canal, and marvel at the architecture of Doge’s Palace. Whether it’s sipping coffee in St. Mark’s Square, admiring Renaissance art, or simply watching the sunset over the lagoon, Venice offers an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

This holiday is set for departure on 10 January 2026, making it a wonderful way to start the year with an inspiring city break. January is a quieter time to visit both Rome and Venice, offering a more relaxed experience compared to the busier spring and summer months. You’ll have the chance to explore famous landmarks without the heavy crowds, making sightseeing easier and far more enjoyable.

In Rome, the cooler weather means comfortable walking conditions as you wander from one monument to another. Imagine standing before the Colosseum without long queues, or tossing a coin into the Trevi Fountain with space to truly soak in the moment. Evenings are perfect for hearty Italian meals in cosy trattorias, where authentic dishes warm you after a day of exploring.

In Venice, January casts a calm, misty charm over the canals, creating a truly atmospheric backdrop. The city takes on a slower rhythm, giving you space to enjoy gondola rides, art galleries, and the unique Venetian lifestyle at your own pace. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to shop for Murano glass and local crafts without the usual bustle.

For those who want to immerse themselves in Italy’s most iconic cities while enjoying a quieter, more authentic feel, travelling in January makes perfect sense. Plus, with a package price starting from just £449.00 per person, it’s an excellent value for such a rich cultural escape.
