MSB Picks | Top 3 Italian Cities to Take Your Flero M

Step back in time to the beginning of your Maxwell-Scott journey: travel to Italy, the birthplace of The Flero M. Read on to discover our top cities in Italy to travel to with your Flero M…

The Flero M

First things first – here’s a quick run-down of the Flero M if you don’t own it already. Most of all, it’s the perfect travel bag. Long-haul flights are no problem with The Flero M. It’s sophisticated and tough in design, allowing you to travel anywhere, anytime without your travel luggage letting you down. There’s no wear and tear with this sturdy leather holdall, as opposed to cheaper, inferior options on the market. It’s lined with faux leather material – one of the toughest linings available for travel luggage.

Rome, Italy

 

We recommend taking your luxury leather companion to Rome, home to striking ruins, the iconic Trevi Fountain, the Vatican and much more. Rome is a cultural hotspot in every sense of the word, with rich artistic heritage: cue myriad museums, art galleries and striking ruins. The cityscape is a journey to be explored – make sure you plan your trip well in advance so not to miss anything out.

Treat yourself to fresh pizza, pasta and endless gelato in-between seeing the sights (“when in Rome…”). If you’re feeling up to it after the flight, take on the challenge of the steps at St. Peter’s Basilica. The building itself is beautiful, with high detailed ceilings, but it’s the view at the top that is the most breathtaking.

 Venice, Italy

Amongst the array of pastel-painted buildings, opulent marble structures and Renaissance culture, you’ll find Venice: recently ranked as the most beautiful city in the world. It’s such a uniquely designed city, doing away with busy roads and replacing them with its signature waterway. Gondolas stand in the place of cars: beautiful floating relics along the canal.

 

The winding alleyways and paths harbor cuisine hotspots, with hidden gems at every turn. If you want to stray off the traditional sight-seeing path of Venice, head over to the island of Burano, situated in the Venetian lagoon. You’ll be greeted with pops of neon color, reflecting into the emerald waters of the channels: all of the houses are painted bright yellows, pinks, green, blues and reds, with a truly striking effect.

5* Stay: The Gritti Palace from $604 

Florence

The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is utterly romantic and aesthetically stunning. With the sheer scale of art and architecture within it, Florence is unrivalled in Italy for its cultural masterpieces. But it’s not just renowned for its artistic status – Florence also boasts boutique shopping, tasty cuisine and fine wine: shop until you drop and eat your fill of traditional Italian pasta dishes.

Soak in the atmosphere of Renaissance beauty at the Uffizi gallery, one of the most famous museums in the world. The Uffizi holds the work of some of the greatest Italian artists, including Botticelli, Leonardo de Vinci and Raffaello. If you’re into your arts, Florence is the Italian city for you.

5* Stay: Villa Cora from $423
