Villa Adriana is the most beautiful Imperial Villa, designed and built by Emperor Hadrian at the beginning of the 2nd century AD.C. in a unique setting of gardens and swimming pools. Customers will visit the Villa with a map and a book explaining this wonderful Roman Villa. The driver will wait for guests at the Villa exit and then accompany them to their hotel.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
