London, Paris, Venice and Rome
It’s only about 1,700 kilometres from London to Rome – or less than the distance from Halifax to Toronto – but in that span you will experience an unmeasurable amount of history, art, architecture and culture. Begin with the grandeur of Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, and continue to the breathtaking beauty of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Then explore Venice, a floating city like no other, before concluding your journey in Rome.
