DAY 5: FRANKFURT to salzburg
FRANKFURT to salzburg
This morning onwards we go - it's time for the mountain ranges that made the Sound of Music famous. Also home to Mozart, you can be pretty certain this place knows a beat. Today we'll also see the largest preserved fortress in Central Europe - Hohensalzburg- and have a chance to partake in the Sights and Sounds of Salzburg. Never a dull moment! This evening join our Make Travel Matter Experience (subject to availability) and venture off the beaten path visiting a farming family in the hills above Salzburg who invite us into their home to eat, drink and learn about their lives. The family have lived on this farm for many generations and now look to tourism to help support them and their local community. The ribs you will eat come from the next door neighbour, the fruit from the schnapps from the village and the service from the locals.
DAY 6: salzburg TO VENICE
salzburg TO VENICE
Benvenuto in Italia! Our Unleashed adventure continues as we enter Italy. Austria, you are an overwhelming beauty. Although it would be nice to stay forever, it's time for us to cross the border and prepare to stuff ourselves full of all things pizza and pasta. You'll think you've seen enough beauty for one day after taking in the Central Austrian Alps, and then we'll arrive in Venice and your jaw will hit the floor over hidden lanes, story book bridges and a private canal boat ride.
DAY 7: VENICE TO ROME
VENICE TO ROME
Farewell floating city, but Italy, we're not done with you yet! Our next destination, the Eternal City of Rome, is just around the corner. But first, we have an epic, including Make Travel Matter Experience to enjoy (subject to availability). Casale Polegri is set within the gorgeous town of Baschi, where we'll meet the Polegri family These guys have run their vineyard and olive orchard for generations, and after giving us the grand tour, will serve us lunch under the Veranda. As we overlook the Tiber Valley, enjoying some of the most authentic Italian food we've ever tasted (topped off with the Polegri's very own wine naturally), we might reflect that we've never had it so good. It's the kind of local travel experience you don't encounter every day (you're welcome). Then, all roads leave to Rome as we uncover Italian icons in the countries capital and get a glimpse of it's glory at night. Gelato, pizza and ancient monuments - perfecto!
DAY 8: ROME
ROME
When in Rome.... Rome wasn't built in a day - so get up and get going early to make the most of this ancient city. When in Rome... a chance to visit the Vatican Museums, including Sistine Chapel. Religious or not, the Vatican's Italian Renaissance church will send shivers down your spine. This is also the day to visit the Colosseum and do a bit of your own exploring. Then hit the streets for your own discoveries. Snap pink azaleas by the Colosseum, throw coins in fountains and sip espresso in a pretty street watching Italian life float by.
DAY 9: ROME TO FLORENCE
ROME TO FLORENCE
We may be hitting the road again, but we're not done with Italy just yet. We have one more city to lust over....

No trip around Europe is complete without seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa and getting that famous shot. Once you've got the perfect snap of you holding the thing up like you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be on the fast- track to the Italian Riviera. Hello Beautiful! The 'Five Lands' or Cinque Terre is completely breathtaking - the stunning colours, washing hanging out windows and picture perfect setting. Perched on a cliff and overlooking the Ligurian Sea this is 100% bucket list worthy destination, use the included day pass to explore this colourful heaven, stopping for an Aperol Spritz on the way too as a refreshment, all in the name of culture of course.
