Tour Description
We will enter into the ancient city through the Porta San Paolo gate, which is one of the principal gates of Roman Aurelian Walls. From here we will pass Circus Maximus and see a spectacular view of Palatine Hill with its Ancient Palaces. This Hill is one of the most important hills because 2700 years ago it led to Rome’s foundation with its first king Romulus. Here we will precede to the celebrated Piazza Venezia, situated at the base of Capitoline Hill which meets one of the most important streets of the center of the capital, Via Fori Imperiali. Following this road, you will be able to admire Colosseum, originally known as Flavian Ampitheater, which is probably the most famous one in the world. It had a capacity to sit about 50,000 spectators that would marvel at the gladiator competitions.
|
|
The next stop will be Spanish Steps so you can regard the amazing staircase that consists of 135 steps that was built to connect Spanish Embassy (where the square takes its name from) to Church of the SS. Trinita’dei Monti. At the magical Trevi Fountain good luck is to be acquired by throwing in a coin to this enormous and most noted fountain from the 17th century.
|
|
After a break for lunch the tour will allow you to visit the Ancient Roman Temple of Phanteon and Piazza Navona.
We will then drive to the Vatican area where you will spend the rest of our excursion. You may visit St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest Catholic Church ever built.
