Itinerary
1
Pickup at Civitavecchia Port
Your private driver meets you directly at the port, which has served as a gateway to Rome since Emperor Trajan commissioned it and architect Apollodorus of Damascus designed its layout. The drive to Rome takes approximately one hour along the coast road.
2
Janiculum Hill and Vatican Area
Arrive at the Janiculum, Rome's eighth hill and its premier panoramic viewpoint, before descending to Saint Peter's Square for a close look at Bernini's celebrated colonnade. Castel Sant'Angelo, the cylindrical mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, is visited nearby along the banks of the Tiber.
3
Historic Centre: Piazza Navona and the Pantheon
Move into the heart of Rome to discover Piazza Navona, the most important Baroque square in the city, and then the Pantheon, a Roman temple dating to antiquity that remains the most intact ancient building in Rome. Both sites sit within easy walking distance of each other in the historic centro storico.
4
Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps
Continue to the Trevi Fountain, a monumental late Baroque composition that marks the terminal point of the ancient Acqua Vergine aqueduct. Nearby, the Spanish Steps connect Piazza di Spagna with the church of Trinita dei Monti via one of Rome's most photographed staircases, built in the early eighteenth century.
5
Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum
Piazza Venezia, named after Cardinal Venezia who ordered his palace built here in 1455, serves as the geographic and symbolic center of Rome. From there, the route continues to the Colosseum, the great Flavian amphitheater that remains the largest ancient amphitheater ever constructed.
