Navigating Popular Venice, Florence, and Rome with Colleen Schaffer

Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on November 6, 2023.
A trip to Italy's city trifecta - sun-speckled Venice, Renaissance Florence, and eternal Rome - can be an experience overflowing with history, culture, art, and fun. However, smart travel planning is required for a truly enriching, enjoyable visit to these busy destinations. Join tour guide Colleen Schaffer as she takes us to many must-see sights and lesser-known gems, including the stunning Santa Maria Della Salute in Venice, the historic Oltrarno quarter of Florence, and Rome's lively Trastevere neighborhood. Along the way, she shares her extensive travel tips to help you avoid the crowds, make smart reservations, and get the most out of your visit. Take a glass of full-bodied chianti and hearty Tuscan "ribollita" for these highlights of urban Italy!

Have followed you and loved your videos always. Just noticed that your world map at the start of video is showing the Northern part of India as Pakistan. Is it an oversight ?
