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.

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.

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.

Rome feels like one giant open-air museum—absolutely amazing! I managed to visit all the major tourist spots, and getting around was easy with the many hop-on hop-off buses available. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes, because you’ll be doing a lot of walking!

You created Maximus Kim, Spartacus Kim, and Flamma Kim for us. It was a wonderful time for the children to train and learn about Roman soldiers and gladiators. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the fighting. This will be a very memorable time for the children.

What a great experience we had with our five and eight-year-old at the mosaic workshop. Nadia and her team were excellent to work with, and my kids had so much fun. It was three hours, but they completed a mosaic, (we are a family of 4 and one of us helped and the other participated too), as well as the teachers there. It was just a great experience.

We truly enjoyed this full day excursion even if it was short as the travel time was lenghtly. Our guide on that day was great and made sure that we are together even if it was such a big group. People stick with the timeline so it was timely in transitioning to the next area.

Our Vatican Museums tour was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and attentive throughout the entire experience. She made sure everyone stayed together and never felt lost, which we really appreciated given how busy it can be. Her explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight, bringing the history and artwork to life. She guided us seamlessly through the museums—truly a magnificent experience from start to finish.

Great tour, Favio was such an amazing tour guide, full of stories and very knowledgeable. The only thing is the meeting spot can be a bit confusing, we got lost but did managed to turn up just in time. Otherwise, enjoyable tour.
