Introduction:

Bridge of Sighs

叹息桥建于1603年,因死囚的叹息声而得名。叹息桥是连结着总督府和威尼斯监狱的一座巴洛克式风格的石桥,是古代由法院向监狱押送死囚的必经之路。相传当犯人在总督府接受审判之后,重罪犯会被带到地牢中,在经过这座密不透气的桥时,通过小窗,看桥外的自由世界,不自主地就会发出叹息之声。电影《情定日落桥》(A Little Romance)曾在此取景的。

Basilica

模仿罗马万神殿而建的保罗圣芳济教堂庄严壮观,两旁呈弧形,走廊耸立一排排巨柱,穹顶有53米高,再加上广场中央查理三世骑马的雕像,相当宏伟。 19世纪初,那不勒斯国王由波拿巴家族的国王若阿尚·缪拉开始建造,他规划了广场及其建筑以献给拿破仑。拿破仑失势后,波旁王朝复辟,斐迪南四世继续完成建筑,但是在1816年建成后归属教会,奉献给16世纪曾在此修道的保罗圣芳济。

Tour Overview:

Spend the morning in the company of a knowledgeable local guide as you explore Venice, the most magical of cities. Begin with a waterbus ride to San Marco Island, a memorable crossing of the lagoon that gives you a real taste of the city's charm as you approach the dreamy spires and distinctive waterside buildings. Once on the island you’ll be led around some of Venice's best-known locations, beginning in the Piazzo with the Basilica di San Marco, a stunning piece of Byzantine architecture. You'll also see the legendary Bridge of Sighs, which appears on many a postcard or picture of Venice and connects the old prison to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. Afterwards you’ll have a chance to see some traditional Venetian craftwork at close quarters with a demonstration by Murano glassblowers; their exquisite creations make excellent souvenirs. Of course, the ultimate Venice activity is to ride through the warren of waterways on a gondola, and for most people this optional excursion is a must. Step aboard, relax and enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Transfer to Rome in the afternoon.

Introduction:

BasilicadiSanPietroinVaticano

Vatican

Vatican City is an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy. Established with the Lateran Treaty (1929), it is distinct from, yet under "full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction" of the Holy See (Latin: Sancta Sedes).With an areaof 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of about 1,000, it is the smallest sovereign state in the world by both area and population.

Colosseum

The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre or Colosseo, is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy.

Arco di Costantino

君士坦丁凯旋门因当年罗马帝国的皇帝君士坦丁而得名,君士坦丁大帝是罗马历史上的一位传奇帝王,他在位时期统一了罗马全境,他也是第一位公开信仰基督教的君王。君士坦丁凯旋门是君士坦丁大帝在战胜了他的强劲对手——马克森提,统一了罗马西部后修建的。这座凯旋门在公元312年后开始建造,用罗马水泥建成,其上的雕塑多为浮雕,且多半是从当时罗马帝国的其他建筑上搜集而来,组合拼装成了君士坦丁凯旋门。众多浮雕中最为著名的是凯旋门顶端的八块浮雕,他们是从马克·奥尔略皇帝纪念碑上拆卸而来,如今珍藏在卡匹托尔博物馆。集合了众多不同时代的罗马雕塑的君士坦丁凯旋门,平衡了众多风格的雕塑风格,在静态中展现了自己的恢宏气质,据说当年,拿破仑·波拿巴来到罗马,见到了这座凯旋门,大为赞赏,而这座凯旋门也成为法国巴黎凯旋门的蓝本。

Tour Overview:

Your day in Rome starts with a visit to the smallest country in the world, The Vatican City, which lies at the heart of the Italian capital. Here you’ll marvel at St Peter's Basilica, home to Pope Francis and arguably the most significant site in Christianity. The exquisitely beautiful Basilica has been present here for almost 1,700 years and contains a bewildering collection of paintings, frescoes and design crafted by some of humanity’s most famous artists, which you can explore. Alternatively, you can choose to add on the optional Sistine Chapel tour to view Michelangelo’s famous painted ceiling. Next you’ll see the famous Trevi Fountain, the lavish Baroque showpiece where people flock to throw coins into the water – an action which is said to ensure that you’ll return to the city again one day. After lunch, take a step even further

back in time as you visit Italy's unrivalled Roman relics. An optional guided tour of the Colosseum, built in AD 72, is highly recommended. History comes to life as you imagine yourself witnessing gladiatorial combat inside the spectacular Amphitheatre, or alternatively you can walk at your leisure around the outside to admire the facade of this ancient wonder. After the Colosseum, get up close to the nearby Arch of Constantine, which dates back to the fourth century AD, then spend some further free time enjoying Rome, sampling the rich and creamy delights of “gelato” Italian ice cream. Next, you can visit the magnificent Basilique Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri near Piazza della Repubblica before transferring to Arezzo in the late evening for stay.
