Itinerary

Piazza del Colosseo
Admission not included30 min

Admission NOT included. You can see the Colosseum from the outside.

Piazza Venezia / Ancient City
Pass by

Piazza Venezia, Vittoriano

Trevi Fountain
15 min

Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the city. Legend has it that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they will be assured a return to Rome. The current interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. Another current version of this legend is that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the fountain.

Spanish Steps
Admission not included15 min

The Spanish Steps is where you will find the famous 18th-century winding steps that connect the square below to the French church of Trinita dei Monti above. Below is the early 1600’s Baroque fountain, “Fontana Della Barcaccia”, or “The Fountain of the Old Boat”, a type of shallow boat popular for carrying wine to the port of Ripetta. The unique fountain is credited to Pietro Bernini, the father of the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Entry is € 2 per person to be paid upon entrance.

Piazza Della Rotonda
Admission not included15 min

Once an ancient pagan temple of all Roman gods. Several centuries later it became a Christian church and burial place for Italy's kings and notable artists such as Raphael. It is the best preserved of all ancient Roman buildings, and perhaps the best-preserved building of its age in the world. Reservation required during Weekends

Piazza Navona
15 min

Piazza Navona

Colle del Gianicolo
15 min

What better way to say “Arrivederci Roma” and bid the Eternal City a farewell than a stop on top of Janiculum Hill to enjoy the splendid panoramic view of Rome sprawled before you, sprinkled with characteristic rooftops, ancient monuments, and church domes.
