About this experience

Immerse yourself for a whole day in the ancient and fascinating history of Rome. Explore the eternal city with the help of a qualified guide. In the morning, visit the impressive Colosseum, almost 2,000 years old, where you can experience the majesty of a unique amphitheater in real life. Afterwards, you will visit the heart of Rome where the ancient city was first developed: the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forums. After a walk through the archaeological remains you will take a short break to enjoy a typical Roman lunch in a characteristic restaurant, and then dedicate yourself to the Vatican Museums in the second part of the day. Your professional guide will take you on a journey to discover the most famous masterpieces housed in the many rooms of this museum. You will pass through the suggestive Gallery of the Geographical Maps, the Gallery of the Tapestries, the rooms of Raphael and many others. You can see works such as the statue of Lacoonte, the Sarcophagus of Santa Elena and the Torso del Belvedere. You will then reach the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire the famous frescoes by Michelangelo which contribute to the majestic atmosphere of the space. The day will end with a visit to Saint Peter’s Basilica. There, you can closely observe the famous Pietà by Michelangelo, the Baldacchino by Bernini, with its tortile columns and finally the grandiose colonnade of Piazza di San Pietro, made up of 284 columns arranged according to a singular elliptical shape.
