Sometimes the best way to introduce yourself to a new country is to book a package tour of the highlights so you can check those off your list and then, next time you visit, spend more time getting off the beaten path. If that sounds like the kind of introduction you’re looking for, then look no further than this incredible deal on a six-night trip through the three biggest tourist destinations in Italy for as low as $635 - and that includes round-trip airfare.

Here’s what you get for your money:

• International round-trip airfare (the lowest prices are from New York, but many cities are available)
• Train transportation within Italy on the Eurostar Italia
• 2 hotel nights each in Rome, Florence, and Venice
• All hotel taxes
• Breakfast daily (in the hotels which include breakfast)

The price for this package will vary depending on when you want to take the trip, but the lowest price available at the moment is that amazing $635, including round-trip airfare from New York, for some dates in Spring 2009. Because there are lots of departure dates available, this deal doesn’t need to be booked by a particular date - except that the best prices will be the ones that go most quickly. So if this trip sounds like the one you want to take, you’d better get on it quickly. Read all the rules before you book, remember!
