The Colosseum

The most popular tourist spot in Rome, attracting an average of 16,000 to 19,000 visitors per day. A fascinating monument, not only because of its sheer size but also because it brings to mind its violent history.

This was the site of the bloodiest games in human history. Gladiators fought each other to the death, and condemned individuals faced wild beasts. The monument is open from 8:30 AM until sunset, and tickets cost 12€.

 

Roman Forum

Right next to the Colosseum lies the Ancient Forum, once the beating heart of the city. A complex of marble temples, colossal basilicas, and bustling public spaces.

Pantheon

This is a temple dedicated to the gods of classical times (today it has been converted into a church). It is the best-preserved ancient monument in the city.

 

Vatican City

This is the smallest independent state in terms of area and population. Visit St. Peter's Basilica, built over the burial site of St. Peter the Apostle.

A vast and imposing Christian church – the largest in the world – richly decorated. Arm yourself with plenty of stamina and patience and experience an unforgettable journey through the Vatican Museums, to enjoy one of the world's finest museum complexes.

 

Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain is Rome's most beautiful and famous fountain. Located in the Quirinale district, it marks the end of the Aqua Virgo, an aqueduct that supplies water to Rome's fountains.

The central figure of the fountain is Neptune, god of the sea. Legend has it that anyone who throws a coin into the water will return to Rome.

 

Piazza di Spagna

Piazza di Spagna is one of the most popular meeting points in Rome. The Spanish Steps (Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti) connect Piazza di Spagna with the Trinita dei Monti church and were designed by Francesco de Sanctis.

Very close to Piazza di Spagna are the city's most famous shopping streets. Do your shopping on Via del Corso or Via Condotti, where you'll find major brands as well as small shops with authentic Italian products.

 

Borghese Gallery and Museum

An excellent art exhibition, ideal for an introduction to Renaissance and Baroque art. It houses masterpieces by Caravaggio, Botticelli, Raphael, sculptures by Bernini, and other Renaissance artworks collected by Cardinal Borghese.
