Itinerary
1
Fontana di Trevi
We will start our tour at your hotel and go early to the most famous fountain in the world, the Trevi Fountain, while there are not a huge number of people there. Trevi is a hidden treasure, created in the 18th century and still powered by an ancient Roman aqueduct that has been running for 2,000 years. Prepare some coins to throw into the fountain and be sure to return to Rome, as the Roman tradition says. If you wish, next to the fountain you can try the most delicious Roman ice cream.
Duration: 30 minutes

Pantheon
You can enjoy one of the greatest creations of ancient architecture. The Pantheon was created by the Emperor Hadrian, a man for whom architecture was his main passion in life. The Pantheon united Roman religion under one huge dome, which to this day is the largest in the world. Because of the metal detectors set up in Covid period, there can be a long line to the Pantheon, so perhaps we will enjoy its view from the outside.

Piazza Navona
It is impossible to imagine visiting Rome without Piazza Navona. It was created on the site of an ancient Roman stadium and today is one of the most striking examples of Roman Baroque. In the center of the square is the second most beautiful Roman fountain created by Lorenzo Bernini, the "Fountain of the Four Rivers", depicting the symbols of the largest rivers of the four continents: Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio della Plata.

Circo Massimo
You will see the largest arena of the ancient period, designed for chariot races, accommodating 250,000 spectators, located on the slopes of the two Roman hills - Palantine and Aventine, as well as the imperial palace on Palatine Hill, from which the emperor himself watched the race. The chariot races had not only the function of entertainment, but also had an important aspect of socialization and propaganda of power. This is why the horse-racing arenas were much larger than the amphitheaters.
Duration: 30 minutes

Giardino degli Aranci
It is the favorite place of all Romans and many visitors to the city, where everyone always wants to return.

The English word for "capital" comes from the name of Rome's most important historical hill, the Capitoline Hill, which tells us of the exceptional importance of this place in the ancient period.
