Things to do in Pisa

Around the 8th century BC, what is today modern Pisa originated with the Etruscan civilization. Later established as the Roman colony of “Pisae,” the city thrived because of its strategic location along the Arno River and ability to facilitate trade and commerce. Like other Italian city-states of the age, Pisa evolved into a flourishing maritime republic during the Medieval Period and grew in textiles and shipbuilding into the 13th century. Throughout this period, the city was home to notable figures, including mathematician Fibonacci and the painter Giotto, while also experiencing a dip in power due to its eventual annexation into Florence. In the 1900s, the Kingdom of Italy absorbed Pisa and supported its modernization and restoration of historic sites. Perhaps best known on the international circuit for its Leaning Tower, Pisa is a cultural gem in its own right and a favorite of travelers worldwide. Experience the best of the city when you book a trip with Gray Line Worldwide today!

Things to do in Capri

Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Capri is a city with an incredibly rich history that dates back thousands of years. Near the southern entrance of the Bay of Naples in Italy, the island was colonized by Greeks in the 8th century BC who dubbed it “Kapros” (“wild boar”). During the early Roman empire, Capri served as a favorite retreat for Roman nobility, particularly Emperors Augustus and Tiberius. Known for its breathtaking landscapes that transformed it into a playground for the wealthy, Capri offers multiple boat tours, excursions to historical landmarks, and access to natural wonders like the Blue Grotto. Experience some of the rest and relaxation enjoyed by those from antiquity and plan your visit with Gray Line Worldwide today!

Things to do in Sorrento

A picturesque coastal town in the Campania region of southern Italy, Sorrento is perched atop cliffs that separate the town from its bustling marinas. Overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento is also nearby the infamous Mount Vesuvius — known for its eruption that destroyed the ancient Roman city of Pompeii — and serves as a gateway to the Amalfi Coast. Initially inhabited by the Oscans in the 6th century BCE, Sorrento eventually became a Greek colony. Later, it flourished as a resort town for the Roman elite. Luxurious villas were constructed along the coastline; their ruins can still be visited today by modern passerby. Sorrento is also known for its exceptionally friendly locals and a relaxed seaside aesthetic. Tourists often report feeling at home in Sorrento, which means that you can too! Travel with Gray Line Worldwide today to get access to the best attractions and landmarks in the Sorrento area.

Things to do in Venice

Founded in the 5th century AD as a refuge for people fleeing barbarian invasions after the fall of the Roman Empire, Venice is a city of islands peppered along the Venetian Lagoon. The natural protection offered by the marshy environment supported Venice’s development into a significant trading power. During the Middle Ages, the city became one of the most powerful maritime republics in the Mediterranean with colonies and trading posts throughout the Adriatic Sea and Aegean Sea. Flourishing during the Italian Renaissance, Venice experienced annexation by the Ottoman and Austrian Empires throughout the 19th century. The city’s unique canal system and beautiful architecture make it a popular tourist destination to this day. Do Venice right and ensure that you don’t miss any of the most popular stops when you travel with Gray Line Worldwide!
