Rome wasn’t built in a day, but that’s plenty of time for you to get under the skin of the Eternal City.
During this definitive journey through the Italian capital, you’ll have fast-track access to the Vatican – avoiding the bulk of the crowds and queues – where you’ll behold the spellbinding Sistine Chapel in all its glory. Fall in love with the ornate Renaissance and Baroque stylings of St Peter’s Basilica and settle down in a local restaurant to savour a hearty Italian lunch with a glass of wine.
Toss a coin into the beautiful Baroque Trevi Fountain (right hand over your left shoulder) and step inside the Colosseum. Surrounded by the crumbling columns of this infamous arena, walk in the footsteps of the Gladiators and hear terrifying tales of their life-or-death battles. And as your day of discovery nears its end, capture some more treasured holiday photos at the historic Forum.
