Or relax at an outdoor café in St. Mark 's Square and enjoy this prime people-watching spot.

Throughout this Italy escorted tour, Globus has arranged VIP access, so rather than waiting in long lines, you 'll get right to the front at all the famous attractions. This gives you more time to experience the sights and more time to taste Italy 's sumptuous cuisine, shop for Italian goods, explore the stunning churches and museums, and participate in optional excursions.
