Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Colosseum, Rome’s most iconic monument, is an awe-inspiring symbol of the ancient Roman Empire. Once the stage for gladiatorial combats, wild animal hunts, and grand spectacles, this massive amphitheater could host over 50,000 spectators. Today, its imposing arches and timeless ruins offer a fascinating journey through history, architecture, and the power of Rome’s glorious past.

Stop 2

The Palatine Hill, one of the Seven Hills of Rome, is the legendary birthplace of the Eternal City. Overlooking the Roman Forum and the Circus Maximus, it was once the residence of emperors and aristocrats. Amidst ancient ruins, lush gardens, and imperial palaces, visitors can walk where Augustus, Tiberius, and Domitian once lived, and enjoy breathtaking views of Rome’s historic heart. A must-see to experience the origins and grandeur of ancient Rome.

The Imperial Forum is a grand complex of squares and temples built by Rome’s greatest emperors, including Caesar, Augustus, and Trajan. Once the political and commercial heart of the Empire, it showcases majestic columns, triumphal arches, and ruins that narrate centuries of Roman power and glory. Walking through its remains means stepping back into the golden age of ancient Rome.

Rome, the Eternal City, blends history, art, and vibrant life in a timeless embrace. Walking its streets feels like exploring an open-air museum, where ancient ruins sit beside lively piazzas, Renaissance palaces, and cobblestone alleys.

Piazzas like Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps are open-air living rooms, while tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain is a must. From ancient ruins to buzzing cafes and artisan shops, Rome’s charm lies in its contrasts. Every corner invites you to slow down, explore, and feel part of a city whose story continues.
