Explanation:
I would not translate it literally; it seems a common formula in this kind of copy, to point to content of brochure/booklet/book in a nutshell, and suggest as much as possible with the fewest words.

taking in monuments and landscapes


Explanation:
I prefer "taking in" rather than "between" because for me the Italian seems to give the idea of including these elements, as in "Taking in monuments and landscapes, this Grand Tour uncovers Italy's true masters..."

An alternative you might like to consider. Happy new Year!!!
