Alumni Trips » 2009 » Great Journeys More Trips for 2009: Best of Tuscany & Italian Riviera Only a few destinations in the world are so steeped in history that the past comes alive the moment you arrive. Italy is one of them. Step back in time as you wander the ancient, winding streets of Tuscany's quaint hillside towns and savour the atmosphere of enchanting coastal cities along the sparkling Mediterranean. MONTECATINI, TUSCANY Tuscany is a region infused with good fortune where a generously temperate climate and an untold wealth of artistic treasures await you. Immerse yourself amid the unspoiled beauty of Tuscany with its shaded olive groves punctuated by tall cypress, parasol pines and bright green rows of vineyards. Montecatini, the best known of all Italian spas, is ideally situated in the heart of Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. Located in a valley of olive trees and surrounded by the exquisite beauty of the Tuscan landscape, it enjoys a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere yet its tree-lined avenues offer a variety of fashionable shops, cafés and restaurants. The elegance and beauty of Montecatini are yours to experience! SAN REMO, ITALIAN RIVIERA The Italian Riviera is renowned for its fine sandy beaches, sparkling seas, cosmopolitan resorts and traditional Italian hospitality. Sheltered by the Ligurian Alps, the coastal region benefits from a warm climate and equally warm waters, providing the perfect environment for a memorable visit. The seaside resort of San Remo basks in the wonderful climate of the sun-drenched Italian Riviera, where late 19th century aristocrats first discovered its pleasures. Known as the City of Flowers, for its profusion of flower-decked homes and luxuriant gardens, it grew from a small fishing village to an elegant resort town. Its superb climate, famous Casino and old town (La Pigna) with its narrow lanes and medieval houses, as well as its elegant palm-fringed promenade, all contribute to San Remo's allure. |
