Head to the Vatican City, the smallest nation in the world! Headed by his holiness the Pope, it
is the administrative and spiritual capital of Roman Catholicism. It boasts a priceless art
collection and is probably per square foot the richest country in the world! The most famous

Christendom.

world.

one another and wild animals while the crowd roared!

monuments of antiquity and then drive through Piazza Venezia, the main square in Rome,

the fountain, you are sure to return to Rome! We at Cox & Kings look forward to that!
After an exciting tour, relax as you drive back to your hotel. (B, L, D)

miniature canals to the Piazza San Marco (St. Marks Square), where you disembark. Napoleon
dubbed the Square the 'finest drawing room in Europe' for its constant carnival atmosphere!
Witness the bronze Moors striking the hour, as they have been doing for the past 500 years!
From there to the Doge's Palace, connected by the 'Bridge of Sighs' to its prisons. It was from
here that the legendary lover Casanova made his famous escape! Time permitting make a
brief visit to a Murano Glass Factory (when open) for a demonstration in glass blowing.
