Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Palazzo Massimo alle Terme is one of Rome’s most important archaeological museums, showcasing exceptional masterpieces from the Roman world. Housed in a 19th-century palace near Termini Station, the museum features exquisitely preserved frescoes, mosaics, sculptures, and everyday objects that illustrate the evolution of Roman art and society. Highlights include the stunning frescoes from the Villa of Livia, the bronze statue of the Pugile a Riposo (Boxer at Rest), and intricate mosaics that offer a vivid glimpse into ancient Roman life and aesthetics.

Stop 2

The Baths of Diocletian are the largest and most monumental bathing complex ever built in ancient Rome. Constructed between 298 and 306 AD, they could accommodate up to 3,000 people at once and served as a grand social, cultural, and recreational hub for the city. Today, the site forms part of the National Roman Museum and preserves impressive architectural remains, including vast halls, courtyards, and galleries that reveal the scale and sophistication of Roman engineering. Highlights include the Michelangelo-designed basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, ancient inscriptions, sculptures, and artifacts that offer a remarkable window into daily life during the Roman Empire.

Stop 3

Palazzo Altemps is a Renaissance palace located just steps from Piazza Navona and is part of the National Roman Museum. It houses an extraordinary collection of classical sculptures, many of which belonged to noble Roman families such as the Ludovisi. The palace beautifully combines elegant 16th-century architecture with masterpieces of ancient art, including the famous Ludovisi Throne, the Gaul Killing Himself and His Wife, and finely restored Greek and Roman statues. Its quiet courtyards, frescoed rooms, and refined atmosphere make it one of Rome’s most evocative and less-crowded museum experiences.
