The Journey

Its dynamic sculptures and intricate details capture the essence of the era's artistic innovation and ambition. This fountain is not just a visual spectacle; it's a celebration of papal power and artistic genius.
Spanish Steps and Barcaccia Fountain
Ascend the iconic Spanish Steps, a monumental stairway linking the Piazza di Spagna with the Trinità dei Monti church. A symbol of Roman elegance, the steps offer stunning views and a perfect spot to soak in the city's vibrant atmosphere. At the foot of the steps, admire the Barcaccia Fountain, a charming Baroque fountain said to have been inspired by a flood of the Tiber River. The steps are a perfect location for experiencing the heart of Rome.
Trevi Fountain
Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain, Rome's largest Baroque fountain and a legendary wishing well. Legend says that throwing a coin into the fountain ensures a return to Rome. Marvel at the fountain's opulent design and sculptures, particularly the central figure of Oceanus, the god of all water. The sound of rushing water and the throngs of visitors create an unforgettable Roman experience.
Vatican Museums
Delve into the vast collection of the Vatican Museums, a treasure trove of art and artifacts spanning centuries. Wander through halls filled with masterpieces from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including works by Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci. From ancient Roman sculptures to exquisite tapestries, the Vatican Museums offer a profound insight into the history of art and the Catholic Church.
Sistine Chapel
Behold Michelangelo's awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel, a pinnacle of Renaissance art. Gaze upon the iconic ceiling frescoes, including 'The Creation of Adam,' and experience the sheer scale and beauty of Michelangelo's vision. The Sistine Chapel is not just a chapel; it is a testament to human creativity and devotion, a space that leaves visitors in awe of its artistry.
St. Peter's Square
Stand in awe at St. Peter's Square, a vast and impressive public space designed by Bernini. From the square, your guide will explain the history and significance of St. Peter's Basilica.
