Itinerary

1. 1

   Castel Sant'Angelo

   Pass by

   Castel Sant'Angelo is one of Rome's most iconic fortresses, built as the mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian and later transformed into a papal residence. It dominates the Tiber with its imposing circular silhouette, connected to the Vatican by the famous Passetto.

2. 2

   St. Peter's Square

   10min

   The heart of Vatican City, St. Peter’s Square was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create a grand and welcoming space for pilgrims. The colonnades, arranged in an embracing semicircle, symbolize the Church’s arms open to the world. At its center stands an ancient Egyptian obelisk, flanked by two beautiful fountains. The square leads directly to St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church, home to masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s Pietà and the majestic dome designed by the artist himself.

3. 3

   Colle del Gianicolo

   10min

   One of the highest hills in Rome, the Gianicolo offers one of the best panoramic views of the city. It is known for its historical significance, as it was the site of battles led by the Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi during the fight for Italian unification. A tradition dating back to 1847 continues today: every day at noon, a cannon is fired from the hill, a practice started by Pope Pius IX to standardize the city’s clocks.

4. 4

   Stop 4

   15min

   In the heart of Trastevere, the Peroni Store celebrates the historic Italian beer founded in 1846. A space where tradition and design meet, perfect for a short stop combining shopping with the story of an iconic Made in Italy brand.

5. 5

   Buco della Serratura

   10min

   (OPTIONAL) he Aventine Keyhole is one of Rome's most fascinating secrets: through the keyhole of the Knights of Malta's door you can glimpse St. Peter's dome perfectly framed. A magical and surprising view.

6. 6

   Circo Massimo

   Pass by

   The Circus Maximus was the largest arena for chariot races in ancient Rome, with capacity for up to 250,000 spectators. Today a vast green valley that evokes the spectacle and passion of the original Ben Hur.

7. 7

   Colosseum

   10min

   The Colosseum is the most iconic symbol of Rome and one of the greatest architectural wonders of the ancient world. Built in the 1st century AD, it was the largest amphitheater ever constructed, hosting gladiator battles, animal hunts, and public spectacles for over 50,000 spectators. Despite centuries of damage from earthquakes and looting, it remains an awe-inspiring testament to the engineering and grandeur of the Roman Empire.

8. 8

   Piazza Venezia / Ancient City

   Pass by

   Piazza Venezia is one of Rome’s busiest squares, located at the intersection of several major roads. It is dominated by the grand Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, also known as the ‘Altar of the Fatherland,’ built in honor of Italy’s first king. The square is also home to Palazzo Venezia, once the residence of popes and later the headquarters of Mussolini during World War II. This historic location connects the modern city to the heart of ancient Rome
