   Marvel at the size of the largest political and commercial hub of the Ancient Roman Empire, as you drive by the ruins of grandiose temples, basilicas, and public spaces leading to the Colosseum.

3. 3

   Appian Way (Via Appia Antica)

   Pass by

   See the most important road of Ancient Rome, which was essential in transporting troops and goods in and out of Rome. Today, part of a splendid national archeological park.

4. 4

   Step inside the most ancient building in Rome to marvel at the "Oculus" in the center of the dome and the opulence of the marbles and the exquisite details of the statues all around you.

5. 5

   Piazza Navona

   1h

   Rome is for real an open-air museum, as testified by this awesome square where you can admire the best example of Baroque art in its exquisite fountains. Why not enjoy a nice gelato as you stroll around the piazza?

6. 6

   Spanish Steps

   15min

   Climb the 138 steps that lead to the church of Trinità dei Monti for a spectacular view of the square below, or just walk around the square to enjoy one of the most acclaimed spots in the Eternal City.

7. 7

   Trevi Fountain

   1h

   Time to throw your coin in the Trevi Fountain for good luck and a safe return to Rome, but you need to do it right! Turn your back to the fountain, hold the coin in your right hand and toss it over your left shoulder!

8. 8

   Catacombe di San Callisto

   1h

   Ancient Roman law prohibited the burial of the deceased inside the city walls, so they were built along the Appian Way, which was outside the walls. They are a network of passageways that can stretch for over 15 miles underground, so visiting them is only permitted with the aid of a catacomb guide provided by the site.
