Itinerary

Day 1: ROME

  • Arrival at Rome airport/railway station. Group transfer to the hotel. Overnight in Rome.

Day 2: COLOSSEUM, ROMAN FORUM & PALATINE HILL (INCLUDED)

  • Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before embarking on a day of exploration. Today you will visit the COLOSSEUM, THE ROMAN FORUM AND PALATINE HILL. Transfer to the meeting point is included, where you will meet your guide, receive your headphones, and have access to the Colosseum without waiting in line. Inside the Colosseum, you will walk through the places where ancient Romans gathered to watch various events, such as gladiator fights and animal hunts. You will also learn how the Romans spent their free time. Afterwards, you will explore Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome and the ancient residence of the Roman emperors, which offers a spectacular view. Then you will visit the Roman Forum, the lively center of life in ancient Rome, where well-preserved ruins from that era can still be admired. Overnight at the hotel.

*For Colosseum bookings, it is mandatory to provide each guest's date of birth.

Day 3: VATICAN MUSEUMS* (OPTIONAL)

  • Breakfast at the hotel. Today you are free to visit Rome, or, if you prefer, you can book an OPTIONAL excursion to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica. In this case, enjoy a guided tour with an expert guide, skipping the line thanks to a fast-track ticket for the Vatican Complex.

  • Optional excursion: VATICAN MUSEUMS with guide. Optional transfer from the hotel to the meeting point. After meeting the guide, you will be given headphones and escorted to the entrance of the Vatican Museums. You will visit the gallery, admiring all the main places you have heard about, such as the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Borgia Apartments. The guide will provide information about the Raphael Rooms and their extraordinary frescoes, including the School of Athens. Afterwards, you will be led to the Sistine Chapel, where the ceiling is considered one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. The visit would not be complete without a stop at St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world, which houses numerous works of art, such as the baldachin designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Michelangelo's Pietà. To conclude the visit, you will have the opportunity to admire the majestic St. Peter's Square, an open space redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, considered an architectural masterpiece of the Baroque era. Afternoon at leisure.

    In the afternoon, we suggest a walk, starting with a visit to the parks of Villa Borghese and the Pincio Terrace, which offers a fantastic view of Rome. After a photo stop, continue to Piazza del Popolo and Via Margutta (famous for appearing in the film 'Roman Holiday' with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn), then continue to Piazza di Spagna until you reach the Trevi Fountain. It is also worth visiting the Colonna Gallery, as well as the inner courtyard of the Sciarra Gallery, the Church of Sant'Ignazio, the Elephant Obelisk in Piazza della Minerva, and the Pantheon. Next to the Pantheon, the Giolitti family has been making artisanal gelato for three generations, which I highly recommend trying. Then head to Piazza Navona, famous for Bernini's fountain, and Ponte Sant'Angelo, adorned with 10 angel statues that point the way to Castel Sant'Angelo. Finally, walk along Via della Conciliazione to the majestic and immense St. Peter's Square. Overnight at the hotel.

*For Vatican Museums bookings, it is mandatory to provide each guest's date of birth.
