A Day in Rome

A taste of eternity in the monuments, in the streets and in the squares of one of the most beautiful cities of the world.

A journey through history, from the origins of western civilization to our days, in a fabric of the city, UNESCO world heritage, which preserves exceptional testimonies from every age, from the imposing monuments of the old town to the paleochristian basilicas and to the masterpieces inherited from the Byzantine and Renaissance periods, from the artistic and monumental heritage of Papal Rome and of the Baroque period to the lively cultural dynamism of the modern city. Live the unique atmosphere of this city, which has been the melting pot of races, and the meeting place of cultures for millenniums. For this reason, the city has always been considered the emblematic capital of the Mediterranean. On your arrival in Rome you will be greeted by an expert local Guide who will lead you on an unforgettable walk to the discovery of the heart of the city. Be enwrapped by liveliness of Piazza di Spagna, with the splendid Spanish Steps (18th century) and Trinit dei Monti, admire the famous streets of luxury shopping surrounding the centre and then you reach the enchanting Trevi Fountain, always swarmed with tourists who desire to visit the place that is the symbol of the "dolce vita", the sweet life. Then, walking along the characteristic streets of the old centre you will reach the ancient Pantheon Temple (II century BC.) with the amazing open dome that is still the largest in the world. Finally enjoy the splendour of Piazza Navona, raised in the area of the ancient stadium of the Emperor Domitian, with, at the centre, the perfectly preserved wonderful "Fountain of the four rivers", a masterpiece by Bernini. At the end of the tour you will have free time to appreciate, among many other things, the famous Roman cuisine by having lunch in one of inviting restaurants of the city centre. Your driver will then take you for a wonderful panoramic tour during which you can admire the most important monuments of Imperial Rome: the Colosseum (72 AD), symbol of the city, the archaeological area of the Roman Forum, Piazza Venezia, with the impressive monument named Vittoriano and finally, on the other side of the River Tiber, you will reach Saint Peter's Square, the centre of Christianity, with the splendid Basilica dominated by the dome designed by Michelangelo and surrounded by Bernini's monumental colonnade. At the end of the visit, you will say goodbye to the city from the splendid panoramic terrace of the Gianicolo Park with a suggestive and warm embrace.
