Itinerary
Rome's most iconic symbol stands as a testament to ancient engineering brilliance and brutal entertainment. This massive amphitheater held 50,000 spectators who watched gladiators battle through an intricate system of underground chambers and elevators. Walking past its weathered walls, you can almost hear the roar of crowds from epic spectacles that defined Roman culture.
Step into the heart of ancient Rome where emperors walked and senators debated the empire's fate. This sprawling complex of temple ruins, basilicas, and government buildings formed the center of Roman political and commercial life. Walk the ancient Via Sacra and explore remains of the Temple of Vesta and Arch of Titus.
Built on Emperor Domitian's ancient stadium, this elongated square represents the pinnacle of Baroque architecture. Three magnificent fountains include Bernini's masterpiece Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi depicting world rivers through dramatic sculptures. Street artists and musicians create vibrant atmosphere among surrounding palaces and cafes.
Ancient Rome's most perfectly preserved building features the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome with an open oculus. This 2,000-year-old architectural marvel continues to inspire engineers worldwide with its mathematical precision. Inside, pay respects at Renaissance master Raphael's tomb while marveling at the dramatic light effects.
This magnificent park combines world-class art at the Borghese Gallery with landscaped gardens and panoramic city views. The 80-hectare grounds feature neoclassical temples, peaceful lakes, and tree-lined paths perfect for strolling. End at the romantic Pincio Terrace for sweeping sunset vistas over the historic center.

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.
