Itinerary

Day 1 München

Ankunft zu jeder Zeit. Such dir im Hostel einen gemütlichen Platz zum Chillen oder erkunde ein wenig die Stadt, bis du am Abend die anderen Roamies triffst

Day 2 München nach Innsbruck

Get this adventure started with a CEO-led walk in Munich, followed by a train ride to Innsbruck in the afternoon. Nestled snugly in a picturesque valley with panoramic views of the alps, Innsbruck won't disappoint. Get your bearings on a short orientation walk and spend some time becoming familiar with your hostel and surroundings. Opt to wander along Maria Theresien Street, explore the Grassmayr Bell Foundry, or check out Ambras Castle, famous for its renaissance gardens. Get ready to fill your camera roll!

Day 3 Innsbruck nach Venedig

Check out the Imperial Palace of Innsbruck before piling back onto the train to head into epic scenery of the Dolomites. Think filling your feed with crystal clear mountain lakes and snow-capped peaks. Don't forget that Venice is the end goal of today so pump yourself up for the famous canal city on the horizon. Tonight join your CEO for a nice cold beverage and see where the night takes you

Day 4 Venedig

“Oh what a night, what a beautiful night…” This tends to be the song stuck in our heads whenever a visit to Venice is on the table. Can’t you just hear that accordion? After becoming acquainted with Venice's cuisine on a CEO-led food tour, and learning of ghostly legends, the day is yours, no judgments here on what you decide to do. From canals to gondola rides, and inspiring architecture, what’s not to love?

The main city is small enough that you can walk it in several hours with the added bonus of getting those steps in. Explore the canals, relax in the small squares, and go cafe-hopping for coffee, pastries, wine, or all three, because why not? See Venice from the water on a gondola ride through the canals, run through the pigeons or people watch in St. Mark’s Square, take an elevator ride up to the top of the Campanile Di San Marco for panoramic views of the city below. Your only real job today is to have a blast!!

Day 5 Venedig nach Florenz

We promise your tastebuds will thank you and rejoice with what’s on the menu for today’s adventure. All aboard the train from Venice to Florence. Being one of Italy’s most sought after food capitals, make sure you stuff your face while here. Eat the city’s signature pasta and venture out of those comfort zones to sample any specialty dishes you may stumble upon. Your CEO will point you in the right direction on CEO-led food and market tour.

This evening happens to be perfect if you are looking to relax, eat some more (if you can), or recover from those food comas in your hostel before a quick highlight tour of the city

Day 6 Florenz

Genieße einen freien Tag in Florenz in vollen Zügen! Erkunde mit deinen neuen Freunden die Stadt und habt einfach eine gute Zeit. Sieh dir die berühmten Kunstwerke in den Uffizien und der Galleria dell’Accademia an. Bewundere legendäre Meisterwerke der Baukunst wie die Kathedrale und den Palazzo Pitti und rieche an den Blumen im Boboli-Garten. Oder willst du lieber ganz entspannt das Flair der Stadt aufsaugen? Auch kein Problem: Schlendere einfach am Arno entlang und über den Ponte Vecchio und besuche dann die vielen Cafés, Ristorantes und Gelato-Läden der Stadt

Day 7 Florenz nach Rom

Leave Florence behind and catch the train to Rome. Upon arrival grab your travel mates and enjoy a walking your before letting your appetites run wild on an afternoon food tour; cue those Italian fantasies. Sample pizza, gelato and more as you learn about the heart and soul behind Italian cooking.

The night is yours! Did someone say dance party?

Day 8 Rom

Depart at any time, or keep the adventure going across the Adriatic Sea on the next leg of this epic adventure
