Dwa serca, dwa światy

Rome • Vatican • Tivoli • Anzio • Naples • Pompeii • Sorrento • Caserta • Sperlonga

The country's capital - Rome and the symbol of the Italian south - Naples, are two cities with different souls and faces. Subdued, majestic Rome with the Vatican is a completely different world than Naples, where the streets and squares are perpetually confused and buzzing, and the laundry, as before, is dried on the balconies. However, they have a lot in common - tasty pizza baked in a traditional way, the aromatic aroma of espresso in bars, countless pastes, i.e. pastas prepared in many ways and with many additives, and ice cream in many flavors. This is a trip for those who want to visit the capital of Italy, admire monumental sculptures and paintings in the Vatican, and also taste a margherita in Naples - its birthplace. A variety for the 2 bustling cities will be: sleepy Sorrento, known for Italian song festivals, royal gardens in Caserta and the sandy beaches of Anzio and Sperlongi. Route in Italy: approx. 700 km.
