City breaks for Italy’s music festivals

The International Opera Festival at the Arena di Verona and the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino – one of the oldest traditional cultural events in Florence – are just two examples of music festivals within the Italian cultural calendar during 2010.

For those who’d like to take in one or more of these festivals, city break specialist, Cities Direct is highlighting a selection of its multi-centre breaks to some of Italy’s finest cultural cities.

For example, enjoy three nights in both Rome & Florence staying at a central three-star hotel from £689 inclusive of return flights (outward to Rome, returning from Pisa), six nights’ hotel and rail travel between Venice and Florence.

Or a six-night break – with three nights each in central three-star hotels in Florence and Venice – also costs from £689 inclusive of return flights (outward to Pisa, returning from Venice) and rail travel between Florence and Venice.

Alternatively, a week’s holiday combining three nights in Venice, two in Verona and two in Milan costs from £699 inclusive of return flights (outward to Venice, returning from Milan), seven nights’ accommodation in central three-star hotels and rail travel between cities (Venice to Verona and Verona to Milan).

All prices quoted are valid between April and October and are per person, twin-share, inclusive of breakfast, airport taxes and one piece of checked luggage per person. Extra nights and hotel upgrades are available at a supplement.
