Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

One of the most unique and impressive heritage sites in the city, the Capuchin Crypt is also sometimes called the 'Bone Church of Rome'.
The crypt is divided into six pocket-sized chapels, decorated with the bones of 4,000 Capuchin friars who died between 1528 and 1870.

Stop 2

One of the most famous, elegant and expensive streets of Rome, named after the Battle of Vittorio Veneto. The fame of this street is linked to the Dolce Vita, a period in which its clubs, restaurants, and hotels were animated by the wildness of Hollywood actors and other celebrities chased by paparazzi, always in search of the latest scoop.

Villa Borghese of Rome is one of the largest urban parks in Europe. What differentiates Villa Borghese from other large parks such as Hyde Park or Central Park is the perfect combination between nature and Roman art. Villa Borghese is home to interesting architectural elements, sculptures, monuments and fountains created at different times by famous artists.

Stop 4

Piazza del Popolo is a very well-known square in Rome. In Italian the name means ‘People's Square’, but the name is actually derived from the poplars that surrounded the oval square. The original function of this square was to welcome visitors and pilgrims who entered Rome from the north over the Via Flaminia.
Here you will discover the 2 twin churches Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto.

Stop 5

The main attraction of this church are the 12 side chapels, such as the Cerasi chapel with paintings by Caravaggio; the ‘conversion of Paul’ and the ‘crucifixion of Peter’. The Chigi chapel with mosaics representing creation were designed by Raphael.
