Itinerary

Piazza Venezia

20 min

There is no way you can miss the imposing white marble monument dedicated to King Vittorio Emanuele II!

Nicknamed the “wedding cake”, the monument is one of the most recognizable buildings in Rome and the designated place for the eternal flame of the tomb of the unknown soldier.
Piazza del Campidoglio

25 min

A stop at the Capitoline Hill will provide one of the most spectacular views of the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Coliseum in the distance. This spot is one of the most picturesque in Rome, so be sure to have your camera ready!

.
Spanish Steps

15 min

Climb the 18th-century stairs to reach the French Church of Trinità dei Monti or hang out on the steps for some people-watch as the locals do.

An exquisite feature of the piazza at the foot of the stairs is the Fountain of the "Bracaccia" which, despite its name "old an ugly boat" is a beautiful fountain designed by Bernini's father.
Trevi Fountain

15 min

From La Dolce Vita to Three Coins In A Fountain, the Trevi Fountain has been featured in so many films that it’s one of the most distinguished fountains in Rome! No visit to Rome is complete without a visit to the Trevi Fountain.

People crowd around the gushing Baroque fountain and its nautical statues for the opportunity to throw a coin over their shoulder and wish for a return visit to Rome.

After it will be time for lunch!
Piazza Della Rotonda

15 min Admission not included

One of the oldest and best-preserved ancient monuments built in 126 AD, it’s been in continuous use throughout history and converted into the church dedicated to Saint Mary and the Martyrs in the 7th century.

Some of history’s most distinguished figures are buried here: Kings Vittorio Emanuele II, Umberto I, Queen Margherita, and the celebrated artist Raphael. The oculus in the center of the coffered dome above provides light and ventilation, and when it rains the water drains below the floor through a drainage system.

NOTE that it is possible that the Pantheon might start charging admission tickets. There is no information made available yet.
Basilica Papale Di San Paolo Fuori le Mura

30 min

Amidst the ancient beauty of Rome, Saint Paul Outside the Walls Basilica stands as a majestic testament to faith and history. Its grandeur beckons visitors with open arms, inviting them to explore a world where art, spirituality, and awe-inspiring architecture converge. From the moment you step inside, you are embraced by a serene atmosphere that whispers tales of devotion, showcasing the splendor of mosaics, intricate details, and the hallowed ground that has witnessed centuries of pilgrimage. Saint Paul Outside the Walls Basilica is a sanctuary where time stands still, allowing you to immerse yourself in a realm of profound reverence and contemplation.
