Itinerary

Standing proudly in the heart of Rome, the Colosseum is a monumental symbol of the city’s ancient glory. This iconic amphitheater, once the stage for thrilling gladiator battles, is an awe-inspiring sight with its massive stone arches and intricate exterior. As you step inside, the atmosphere changes, and you’re transported back to the Roman Empire’s heyday. Walking through its ancient halls, you’ll imagine the roar of the crowds and the fierce battles that once took place here. Whether you're exploring the inner chambers or capturing the perfect photo of its remarkable exterior, the Colosseum offers a truly immersive experience that brings Rome's past to life.
Explore the Roman Forum, a vast complex of ancient squares and ruins that was once the center of Roman political and public life. As you step inside, you’ll be surrounded by the remains of grand temples, basilicas, and triumphal arches, each telling a story of the city’s glory. Walk through the Via Sacra, the main street of the Roman Empire, and imagine the hustle and bustle of ancient Rome. From the ruins of the Senate House to the Temple of Saturn, the Forum offers an incredible glimpse into the heart of ancient Roman civilization. It’s a journey through time that brings history to life.
The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most famous landmarks, a breathtaking display of Baroque art and engineering. Standing tall against the backdrop of the Palazzo Poli, the fountain features a dramatic scene with Neptune, god of the sea, riding his chariot pulled by seahorses. The crystal-clear waters and ornate sculptures make it an unforgettable sight. Don’t forget to toss a coin into the fountain for good luck, a timeless tradition that promises your return to the Eternal City.
Stand in awe of the Pantheon, an architectural marvel of ancient Rome, with its grand portico featuring towering columns and the impressive bronze doors. From the outside, its perfect symmetry and massive dome, which was once the largest of its kind in the world, evoke a sense of timeless grandeur. The Pantheon’s classical design has withstood centuries, offering a glimpse into the brilliance of ancient Roman engineering. As you gaze upon this iconic structure, you’ll feel the weight of history and the legacy of the Roman Empire right before your eyes.
Take in the striking beauty of Piazza Venezia, a bustling square at the heart of Rome, where the grand Altare della Patria stands tall, commanding attention with its neoclassical design. This monumental structure, dedicated to Italy's first king, is surrounded by historic buildings, creating a perfect blend of modern vibrancy and ancient charm. The square is not only a key focal point for visitors but also a place where you can soak in the essence of Rome’s history, with its blend of impressive architecture and lively atmosphere.
Step into the heart of Vatican City, the world’s smallest country, where history, art, and spirituality come together. As you explore the Vatican Museums, you’ll encounter some of the most extraordinary art collections in the world, from ancient sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces. Walk through the stunning halls, where every corner reveals treasures created by legendary artists like Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. The highlight of your visit will be the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes, including the iconic "Creation of Adam," captivate visitors from around the globe. This is a journey through art and history you won’t forget.

Travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level
A dress code is required to enter places of worship and select museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements.
Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during your Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
At the moment the Basilica is not accessible from the Vatican Museums because of the Jubilee.
We recommend taking a 1-hour lunch break before entering the Vatican Museums and suggest using a taxi to cover distances more easily. Please note that lunch and transportation are not included. The tour operates daily, except Sundays, regardless of weather conditions.
