5. Best of the Via Francigena




 

The Via Francigena is Italy's answer to Spain's Camino de Santiago. The Via Francigena is a famous pilgrimage route that you can walk with a small group of other pilgrims. The Best of the Via Francigena tour covers an epic distance - from St Bernard's Pass in Switzerland to Rome in Italy - but fortunately it is completed in just 13 days. Each day you'll experience the most scenic walking sections before a transfer vehicle takes you directly to your accommodation so you can explore the local surrounds. 

This tour is the best way to experience the entire length of the Via Francigena without actually walking it, which would take 50 days! Finishing in the Eternal City of Rome and walking the final steps to St Peters Basilica is truly remarkable, and you'll be glad to reminisce your journey with your fellow walkers.
