What To Expect
Itinerary
Stop At:
St. Peter's Square
St. Peter’s Square
Meet at the heart of the Catholic Church – St. Peter’s Square – replete with artworks such as Michelangelo’s Pieta, as well as the Pope’s Altar, completed by Bernini. The monumental façade, with a dome that stretches above, can only lift the spirit as it towers over Bernini’s wondrous double-colonnade.
Castel Sant’Angelo
Take a stroll along Via Della Conciliazione – the connecting route between The Vatican and the city – and arrive at Castel Sant’Angelo: an ancient archaeological site, once fortress and prison, as well as a Papal residence; it is now a museum. This monument is an ethereal setting to enjoy.
Sant’Angelo Bridge
Cross the magnificent Sant’Angelo bridge and continue the tour along the famed Via Dei Coronari, which takes its name from the sacred items on sale from the innumerable vendors who line the streets. With antique shops on all sides that peddle all sorts of things, be careful not to lose yourself in its charm.
Piazza Navona
Continue to the Piazza Navona, one of the largest squares in all of Rome. The space is incredibly popular among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent the Nile, The Ganges, The Danube, and Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares daily.
The Pantheon & Adrian's Temple
The next masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it is difficult to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front - a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16thcentury fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk.
Just beyond lies Adrian's Temple – somewhat overshadowed by its towering neighbor but impressive nonetheless. Built to honor the Emperor, it has once been the Temple of Neptune.
The Spanish Steps
To round off your magical day, proceed to the Spanish Steps and admire the Church of Trinitàdei Monti, which sits at the top of a famous 135-step stairwell with the Fontana Della Barcaccia at its foot.
Trevi Fountain
Hidden down the narrow backstreets of the city, Trevi Fountain is the most spectacular fountain in Rome and the most photographed in the world.
Home to Fellini’s inimitable “La Dolce Vita,” it is the iconic setting that many visitors seek out. According to the legend, tossing a coin into its waters, they ensure their safe return to Rome.
