Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and the largest fountain in the city. Completed in 1762, it depicts Neptune, the god of the sea, riding a chariot pulled by sea horses. Legend has it that tossing a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain ensures your return to Rome. This breathtaking monument is not only a masterpiece of art but also a symbol of the city’s rich history and tradition. Take a moment to admire the intricate sculptures and listen to the soothing sound of cascading water as you immerse yourself in the heart of Rome.

Stop 2

Piazza di Spagna, one of Rome’s most famous squares, is renowned for the iconic Spanish Steps, a grand staircase of 135 steps connecting the square to the Trinità dei Monti Church above. Built in the 18th century, the steps have long been a popular meeting spot for both locals and visitors. At the center of the square lies the Barcaccia Fountain, a charming early Baroque fountain designed by Pietro Bernini and his son Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Surrounded by elegant boutiques and historic cafés, Piazza di Spagna embodies the charm and sophistication of Rome, making it a perfect place to soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

Stop 3

The Pantheon, one of Rome’s best-preserved ancient monuments, was originally built as a temple to all Roman gods in 27 BC and later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian around 125 AD. This architectural masterpiece is renowned for its massive dome, featuring a central oculus that opens to the sky, providing natural light and a symbolic connection between the heavens and the temple. The Pantheon’s perfect proportions and engineering marvel continue to inspire architects worldwide. Today, it serves as a church and houses the tombs of notable figures, including the painter Raphael and several Italian kings. Standing before its grand columns and stepping inside its vast rotunda offers a breathtaking glimpse into Rome’s rich history and architectural brilliance.

Stop 4

Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most beautiful and lively squares, was built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian and retains its elongated shape. This stunning Baroque square is famous for its three magnificent fountains, with the centerpiece being the Fountain of the Four Rivers, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The fountain represents the four major rivers of the known continents in the 17th century: the Nile, Ganges, Danube, and Rio de la Plata. Surrounding the piazza are charming cafés, restaurants, and the impressive Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, designed by Francesco Borromini. Piazza Navona is a vibrant hub where history, art, and Roman life come together, offering a perfect spot to admire breathtaking architecture and soak in the lively atmosphere.
