Rugby in Rome & Tuscany

Rugby in Rome and Tuscany 

7 days 

With its rolling hills, world-class wine and claims that it was the birthplace of the Renaissance and all things Italian culture, Tuscany is one of the most idyllic and iconic regions of Italy.  Located in its heart and famed for being the largest of Tuscany’s spa towns, Montecatini is the perfect vibrant base from which to explore the major cities whilst allowing the opportunity to enjoy the elegant buildings, leafy parks and picturesque hillside views from the funicular railway of this tranquil town has to offer. 

Rome may be known for its football prowess, but in recent years, rugby has been creeping up the sporting ladder to carve out a name for Italy and is ranked the 13^th most popular sport in the country. Hosted at the iconic Olympic Stadium in Rome, this tour allows you to see the two sporting nations of Italy and Wales come together in the Six Nations and enjoy the electric atmosphere and knife-edge rivalry – just be sure to cheer the home team! 

One of the most beautiful things about Italy is that you don’t have to be a history or art buff to appreciate the architecture, art and history of the country – it simply comes alive in the streets.  The cities of Pisa and Lucca are blessed with a diverse array of historical buildings – both upright and at a famously casual 3.99Ú and offer unique scenery that celebrates their past along with a modern feel.  Get a real feel for the sights, sounds and atmosphere of these cities, coupled with local insight from your tour guide, and you really will see the best that the region has to offer and experience Italian hospitality at its finest.
