Day 1: ROME
Day 2: COLOSSEUM, ROMAN FORUM & PALATINE HILL (INCLUDED)
*For Colosseum bookings, it is mandatory to provide the date of birth of each guest.
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 a headset and accompanied 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 Tapestry Gallery, and the Borgia Apartments. The guide will provide information about the Raphael Rooms and their extraordinary frescoes, including The School of Athens. Next, 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 canopy 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 walking tour, starting with a visit to the parks of Villa Borghese and up to the Pincian Terrace, which offers a fantastic view of Rome. After a photo stop, continue towards Piazza del Popolo and Via Margutta (famous for being featured in the film 'Roman Holiday' with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn), then proceed 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 producing artisanal gelato for three generations, which I highly recommend you try. Then, head to Piazza Navona, famous for Bernini's fountain, and Ponte Sant'Angelo, adorned with 10 statues of angels pointing the way to Castel Sant'Angelo. Finally, stroll along Via della Conciliazione to the majestic and immense St. Peter's Square. Overnight at the hotel.
