Rome, Paris, with extension to London
The significance of Ancient Rome cannot be overstated. See the roots of its influence in the arches of the Colosseum and the remains of the Roman Forum. Then stand beneath Michelangelo’s masterpiece—the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. From there it’s on to Paris, where great philosophers inspired the Age of Enlightenment.
