Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The building was originally called Porta Flaminia, but it is now officially known as Porta del Popolo. Pope Pius IV commissioned the famous artist Michelangelo to design it in 1562. However, Michelangelo delegated the task to the architect Nanni di Baccio Bigio who completed the construction in three years, and it was finished in 1565.

Stop 2

Dating back to 1723, the Spanish Steps are a series of steps that ascend a steep slope connecting the Piazza di Spagna at the base of the hill to the Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the summit. Even today, the Spanish Steps remain a popular attraction for artists, painters, and poets, just as they were in the past.

Stop 3

Trevi Fountain is an essential destination for anyone visiting Rome. Considered to be the most beautiful fountain in the world, it is a breathtaking sight to behold. The fountain's origins date back to 19BC when it was built as the endpoint of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The fountain we see today, however, was constructed during the Renaissance era under the guidance of Pope Nicolas V. The fountain's grandeur, intricate details, and awe-inspiring beauty make it a must-visit attraction for tourists and locals alike.

Stop 4 Pass by

The Pantheon is one of the most remarkable ancient buildings in Rome, Italy. Constructed between 25 and 27 BC as a temple for pagan gods, it has stood the test of time and remains nearly intact to this day. The temple was completed by Hadrian in 126 AD, and since the 7th century, it has been used as a church dedicated to St. Mary and Martyrs. The Pantheon is a fascinating architectural feat, boasting a massive dome with a central opening called an oculus that allows natural light to filter in. Its impressive structure has influenced countless buildings over the centuries and is a must-see for anyone interested in ancient Roman history.

Stop 5

Piazza Navona is the quintessential elegant showcase square of Rome, replete with stunning fountains and baroque Palazzi. Its origins date back to the 1st century when it was known as the Stadio di Domiziano. However, by the 15th century, the site had been paved over and turned into a bustling marketplace, serving as the city's main commercial hub for nearly 300 years. Today, Piazza Navona stands as a testament to Rome's rich history and timeless elegance, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at its architectural beauty and cultural significance.
