Start your Roman cultural experience at the iconic Colosseum, where gladiators once fought to the death. Witness the grandeur of this ancient amphitheatre and the bloody events that took place here. After immersing yourself in the Colosseum, visit the Roman Forum, the centre of public life in ancient Rome. Here, you can see the remains of temples, arches and government buildings that were once the heart of the Roman Empire.
Embark on a spiritual journey through the soaring Vatican City, the smallest city-state in the world. Explore the numerous museums, galleries and halls, marvel at the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Raphael, and visit the Saint Peter's Basilica. End the day with the Sistine Chapel, renowned for its ceiling frescoes painted by Michelangelo - a task he reluctantly took on when he was commissioned by Pope Julius II in 1508.
On your final day, stand in awe at the Pantheon, among the most revered and well-preserved ancient buildings of Rome. Originally built as a temple to all gods, the Pantheon is now a place of contemplation and reflection. End your Roman cultural immersion at the iconic Trevi Fountain, which stands at 26 metres high and 49 metres wide. Legend has it that tossing a coin into the fountain guarantees a return visit to Rome.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Borghese Gallery, the Capitoline Museums, the Catacombs of Rome and the Trastevere neighbourhood. If you have less time, prioritize your visits according to your interests, and use public transportation to save time. Don't forget to try authentic Italian pasta, pizza, and gelato, and to take a stroll around the picturesque Campo de' Fiori market and the charming Piazza Navona.
