Religious spot
Pantheon
The Pantheon, an architectural marvel of ancient Rome, was originally a temple dedicated to all the gods. Its iconic dome, featuring five rings of sunken panels, is illuminated by the oculus, the only natural source of light. Built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and later rebuilt, the present building was consecrated by Pope Boniface IV as Santa Maria ad Martyres, transforming it into a church.
This monument blends Greek and Roman architecture with a grand portico, a Greek pediment, and a sophisticated drainage system. Inside, circles and squares form a unifying theme, highlighting the tombs of kings and Renaissance artist Raphael. The Pantheon remains one of the most beautifully preserved relics in Italy, offering a glimpse into Roman expertise. Whether exploring its interior design, admiring the friezes, or experiencing a religious service, this basilica continues to captivate visitors worldwide.
Park
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain in Rome, also known as Fontana di Trevi, is one of the most famous fountains in the world, drawing millions of visitors to the Eternal City each year. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and later completed by Giuseppe Pannini after Salvi's death, this grand fountain stands at the meeting point of three streets (tre vie), symbolizing an ancient Roman water source connected to the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which once supplied water to Roman soldiers.
Carved from travertine stone, the Trevi Fountain features allegorical figures, including Oceanus, the Roman god of the sea, riding a shell chariot pulled by sea horses. Behind the statues, the grand façade of Palazzo Poli enhances its majestic presence. Immortalized in films like La Dolce Vita and Roman Holiday, Trevi Fountain is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a must-visit landmark, totally worth braving the packed crowds to witness its beauty.
Museum
Borghese Gallery
The Borghese Gallery is one of the most important art museums in Rome, located inside the former Villa Borghese. It's home to the famous Borghese collection, which includes paintings and sculptures from masters like Caravaggio, Raphael, and Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Built in the 17th century, the museum was created by Cardinal Scipione Borghese, a major art collector and nephew of Pope Paul V.
When you visit, you can explore rooms filled with Renaissance and Baroque art, admire the sculpture of David, or see the painting Sacred and Profane Love. Don't miss the archaeological collection that features ancient Roman antiquities. After your visit, take a walk through the surrounding gardens of Villa Borghese, one of the largest parks in Rome.

Natural landmark
Palatine Hill
Palatine Hill is one of the most ancient parts of Rome! Standing 40 meters above the Roman Forum, this hill is not like any other—it's one of Rome's famous seven hills and holds a lot of history.
People have believed that Palatine Hill, known as the first nucleus of the Roman Empire, has been around since 1000 B.C. Legends say that Rome's founder, Romulus, started the ancient city here, and later on, the rich and powerful emperors of ancient Rome lived in luxury on this hill.
Palatine Hill was once the center of Rome, where important buildings like the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the House of the Vestals stood. Walking around the ruins today, you can see majestic ruins and remnants of imperial palaces like the Flavian Palace, the House of Livia, and the Palatine Museum. These palaces were made for the wealthy and upper-class people of the ancient Roman Empire. With its fascinating history and ancient Roman artifacts, Palatine Hill is a must-visit attraction on your Rome itinerary. Book your Palatine Hill tickets today!

Historical site
Catacombe di San Callisto
The Catacombe di San Callisto, also known as the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus in Rome, is an ancient underground cemetery that was the official burial place for the early Christian community in the third century. Around half a million Christians, including martyrs and 16 popes like Pope Damasus, found their final resting place here.
The catacombs are named after Deacon St. Callixtus, whom Pope Zephyrinus put in charge of managing the cemetery in the early third century. Later on, the site gained even more historical importance when Giovanni Battista de Rossi, the founder of sacred archaeology, rediscovered and studied these catacombs in the 19th century.
Today, it's a popular spot to learn more about early Roman Christian history. As you walk through the dark, damp passageways, you’ll discover early Christian tombs, beautiful frescoes, and even the burial sites of popes and martyrs. Book your Catacombs of San Callisto tour on Klook for a unique Roman adventure!

The e-voucher provided by the Klook platform cannot be used directly. Please remember to refer to the email sent by the tour operator and go to the designated meeting point at the specified time to check in with the staff. After checking in, the tour guide will distribute tickets and audio guides to the group members (please keep your tickets safe, as they will be checked at least twice after entering the Vatican). Our tour guide was very responsible and knowledgeable, providing us with detailed explanations of the historical background and interesting facts about the Vatican and its architecture, which was very enriching. Please note that once you leave a building within the Vatican, you cannot re-enter it. If you wish to visit again, you will need to purchase another ticket (for example, once you leave the museum for the chapel, you cannot return to the museum). Also, this tour does not include Raphael's Rooms. Tickets to climb the dome must be purchased separately. The dome has two levels: the first level has 300 steps (with an elevator), and the second level to the very top has 200 steps (no elevator). From the highest building in Rome, you can overlook the entire city.

Despite the severe heat, our guide was extremely good in providing us a great experience! It started with a courtesy call to confirm our arrival at the designated area, followed by a tour with a plethora of knowledge sharing and information to make our experience a memorable. I feel terrible about not being sure of his name, but I’ve included a photo of him… and to him I say thank you!

Great tour guide which helped us through the entrance to the colosseum then towards palantine hill. He held up pictures to fill up some context in different parts of the colosseum and roman forum which really helped learning the history.

The dates we chose for our trip unfortunately coincided with a cycling event in Italy, which prevented us from visiting downtown Naples. We received a notification email three days before our trip, which also mentioned the option to change our dates. At the time, we thought we could still visit Pompeii, so we didn't reply. However, the staff member even called us specifically to follow up, and we are truly grateful for their diligence and responsibility. We initially thought everyone had received advance notice, but upon gathering on the day of the tour, we discovered that many participants who booked through other platforms had not been informed and only learned from the guide on the day of check-in that they couldn't go to Naples. We were really glad we booked our tour through Klook. Our Italian guide was very professional and passionate about the region, providing us with fluent English and Spanish commentary on the unique scenery, famous attractions, and historical stories along the way. They also offered many suggestions for visiting Pompeii to those who didn't participate in the group tour and provided practical information for our dessert time in modern Pompeii, which was very enriching! Many thanks to our responsible and friendly guide and driver!

What to know before visiting Rome
Discover Rome’s rhythm and top experiences
Rome’s visitor season peaks in early summer, with Historical sites, Tours and Attraction passes leading Klook bookings through the year. Demand builds from spring into a clear June high, while museums and cultural experiences remain steady parts of the mix.
When to visit for crowds and prices
According to Klook booking data, June is the busiest month and February the quietest. Prices drift through the year: they’re typically lowest around March and rise toward a peak in December. If you want smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for March or the quieter late-winter months; for the full peak‑season atmosphere, visit in June. Note that demand and prices don’t move in perfect lockstep — June shows the biggest demand spike while December is the priciest month on average.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia typically book about a month in advance, with many locking things in earlier for peak periods and some last‑minute options available about 20 days out. For a flexible short trip you can often book a few weeks ahead, but if you’re travelling in June consider arranging key experiences earlier on Klook to secure preferred times.
