The Journey
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain, an iconic masterpiece of Baroque art, stands as Rome's most famous and largest fountain. Completed in 1762, its dazzling display of sculpted figures, cascading water, and shimmering travertine stone is a sight to behold. Toss a coin into its turquoise waters to ensure your return to the Eternal City, a tradition that has captivated visitors for generations.
Ponte Sant'Angelo
Ponte Sant'Angelo, once known as the Pons Aelius or Hadrian's Bridge, offers a dramatic approach to Castel Sant'Angelo. Built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD to connect his mausoleum to the city, the bridge is adorned with angel statues designed by Bernini and his workshop. Stroll across this historic bridge and admire the views of the Tiber River and the imposing fortress ahead.
St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter's Basilica, a towering symbol of the Vatican City and one of the holiest sites in Christendom, is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Marvel at Michelangelo's dome, Bernini's elaborate baldachin, and countless works of art within its awe-inspiring interior. Whether you're a devout pilgrim or an admirer of art and history, a visit to St. Peter's is an unforgettable experience.
Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II
Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, a graceful bridge spanning the Tiber, offers stunning views of Castel Sant'Angelo and St. Peter's Basilica. Decorated with winged Victories and symbolic sculptural groups, this bridge was inaugurated in 1911 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Italian Unification. It provides a picturesque crossing point and a prime vantage point for capturing iconic Roman landmarks.
Campus Martius
The Campus Martius, or Field of Mars, was once a military training ground and gathering place in ancient Rome. Today, the area is home to a mix of ancient ruins, Renaissance palaces, and bustling streets. Explore the remains of the Theater of Marcellus and the Portico of Octavia, and imagine the legions that once marched across this historic plain.
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona, a vibrant Baroque square built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian, pulsates with life and energy. Admire Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers, Borromini's Sant'Agnese in Agone church, and the lively street performers and artists who fill the square. This is the perfect place to soak in the atmosphere of Rome, enjoy a gelato, and watch the world go by.
Castel Sant'Angelo
Originally built as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, Castel Sant'Angelo has served as a fortress, papal residence, and prison throughout its long history. Explore its ramparts, climb its spiral staircase, and discover the secret passageway that connects it to the Vatican. The panoramic views from the top are simply breathtaking.
Pantheon
The Pantheon, a marvel of Roman engineering, stands as one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome. Originally a temple dedicated to all the gods, it was later converted into a Catholic church. Stand beneath its massive dome and marvel at the oculus, which allows natural light to flood the interior. The Pantheon's timeless beauty and architectural genius make it a must-see destination.
Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta (PASA Bridge)
The Ponte Principe Amedeo Savoia Aosta, often shortened to PASA Bridge, elegantly connects Lungotevere dei Sangallo with Piazza Della Rovere. This functional bridge offers pedestrian and vehicle access, providing scenic views along the Tiber River. While not as ornate as some other Roman bridges, its central location makes it a convenient crossing point for exploring the Ponte, Trastevere, and Borgo districts.
Ponte Sisto
Ponte Sisto, built by Pope Sixtus IV in the 15th century, is a picturesque pedestrian bridge that spans the Tiber River, connecting Via del Pettinari with Piazza Trilussa in Trastevere. Stroll across this charming bridge and enjoy the views of the river and the surrounding neighborhoods. It is a popular spot for romantic walks and sunset viewing.
Ponte Cestio
Ponte Cestio, originally built in the 1st century BC, connects the right bank of the Tiber to Tiber Island. Rebuilt and extended in the 19th century, it provides a historic crossing point to the island and its attractions. Walk across the bridge and imagine the ancient Romans who once used it to reach the Temple of Asclepius.
Trastevere
Trastevere, a charming and bohemian neighborhood on the west bank of the Tiber, is known for its narrow cobblestone streets, ivy-covered buildings, and vibrant nightlife. Explore its hidden alleys, dine in traditional trattorias, and soak in the authentic Roman atmosphere. Once a working-class district, Trastevere is now a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Ponte Fabricio
Ponte Fabricio, also known as Ponte dei Quattro Capi, is the oldest Roman bridge in Rome still standing in its original state. Built in 62 BC, it connects the Campus Martius to Tiber Island. Admire the bridge's ancient arches and the two-faced Janus herms that adorn its parapet. This is a tangible link to Rome's ancient past.
Fabullus Wine Cellar
Descend into the depths of Rome's most secret wine cellar, Fabullus, located in the heart of Trastevere. Housed in the basement of an 18th-century building and built on the remains of a 1st-century Roman cistern, this authentic underground cellar offers a unique wine-tasting experience. Sample excellent Italian wines and gourmet foods in a setting adorned with ancient Roman artifacts and antique furnishings.
Janiculum Promenade
Ascend to the Janiculum Hill for breathtaking panoramic views of Rome's historic center. Stroll along the tree-lined promenade, admire the busts of Garibaldi's soldiers, and visit the equestrian monuments dedicated to Garibaldi and his wife, Anita. The Janiculum is a perfect place to escape the crowds and enjoy a peaceful moment with stunning vistas.
Tiber Island
Tiber Island, the only river island in the Roman Tiber, is a boat-shaped oasis of tranquility in the heart of the city. Connected to both banks by ancient bridges, the island has been associated with medicine and healing since ancient times. Visit the Fatebenefratelli Hospital and the Church of San Bartolomeo all'Isola, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere of this unique island.
