Discover how to make the most of a long weekend in London, Florence and Rome, pairing celebrated landmarks with experiences beyond the city. A few days offers just enough time to settle into a destination’s rhythm, while still leaving space for a thoughtfully chosen day trip further afield.
To understand Baroque, you have to understand its ambition. To fully appreciate it, you have to go to southern Italy. Emerging from the Counter-Reformation in early 17th-century Italy, the movement harnessed drama, ornamentation and light in service of devotion – art designed to engage the senses as much as the intellect.
Some travellers fall in love with a city all at once. Others come to know it gradually, season by season, until they understand not just where to go, but, perhaps more vitally, when. London, with its Royal parks and cobbled courtyards, layers of heritage and history, rewards the latter handsomely.
