  3. Spanish Steps

    30 min

    The Spanish Steps are a set of steps dating from 1723, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna (one of the most famous squares in Rome) and the top dominated by Trinita dei Monti Church.

  4. Colosseum

    45 min Admission not included

    Is there a more famous Italian monument in the world? Is there anybody that hasn’t heard of it? Its history, its spaces, the atmosphere and emotions it stirs in all those that visit it are the very symbol and essence of this city and its great past.

  5. Arch of Constantine

    Passing by

    The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal Ancient Roman arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill

  6. Roman Forum

    For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Ancient Rome

  7. Colonna Traiana

    Passing by

    Trajan's Column is a Roman triumphal column, located in north sided of the Roman Forum, that commemorates Roman Emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars.

    Completed in AD 113, the freestanding column is most famous for its spiral bas relief, which depicts the wars between the Romans and Dacians

  8. Circo Massimo

    Passing by

    The Circus Maximus is an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue.

  9. Palatine Hill

    Passing by

    The Palatine Hill, which relative to the seven hills of Rome is the centremost, is one of the most ancient parts of the city; it has been called "the first nucleus of the Roman Empire".

  10. Stop 10

    Passing by

    The Temple of Hercules Victor, dating from the later 2nd century BC, is a Roman temple, the former Forum Boarium, in Rome, Italy. It is a tholos, a round temple of Greek 'peripteral' design completely surrounded by a colonnade.

  11. Stop 11

    Passing by

    The Temple of Portunus is an ancient Roman temple located beside the Forum Boarium, the Roman cattle market associated with Hercules, which was adjacent to Rome's oldest river port. It was probably dedicated to the gateway god Portunus. The temple is one of the best preserved of all Roman temples.

  12. Teatro di Marcello

    The Theatre of Marcellus is an ancient open-air theatre built in the closing years of the Roman Republic (17 BC). At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song.

  13. Stop 13

    45 min

    The Capitolium or Capitoline Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome.

    The Capitoline Hill contains few ancient ground-level ruins, as they are almost entirely covered up by Medieval and Renaissance palazzi (now housing the Capitoline Museums) that surround a Piazza, an urban plan designed by Michelangelo.

  14. Stop 14

    Passing by

    Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome. One side of the Piazza is the monumental site of Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Altare della Patria, part of the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, first King of Italy.

    The Piazza Campo de'Fiori is a square with the most famous daily open market in the old center of Rome. Free time for a Typical Roman Lunch (your own expense).

  17. Piazza Farnese

    15 min

    Immediately behind the lively Campo de’ Fiori, from which it differs both in origin and tradition, it is one of the city’s most elegant squares, aristocratically isolated and dominated by two large fountains that lead the eye to the palace that has been home to the French Embassy since 1874.

    It is precisely to the imposing Palazzo Farnese that the history of the square is connected, starting from the 16th century when Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (the future Pope Paul III) purchased several houses in this area to demolish them and create a space suitable for a new refined residence. Its building history involved some of the most prominent Italian architects of the time, including Michelangelo.

  18. Stop 18

    Passing by

    The Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as Castel Sant'Angelo, is a cylindrical building.

    It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Popes later used the building as a fortress and castle, and it is now a museum. The structure was once the tallest building in Rome.

    Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world.
