Tourist attraction
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.
The Galleria Borghese offers a more intimate experience with world-class art. If you're in Italy, this museum is a must-see for anyone who loves history, sculpture, and beautiful spaces.
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.
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!
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. Book your Catacombs of San Callisto tour on Klook for a unique Roman adventure!

Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

Everything went very smoothly. Departures are very frequent from Termini Station, and there are 2 more stops in the city before arriving at the airport.

Great time and saved a lot. Airport is far from the main city, hence, better to book a shared transport to the city and my hotel is walkable from Rome Termini. Thanks and I booked return ticket.

The bus from Ciampino Airport runs about once an hour, so you can probably just buy a ticket on the spot when you arrive. The bus driver got into an accident on the way to the station, which made us about 15 minutes late and it was frustrating.

Such a great experience from start to finish! The class was fun and engaging. There was never a dull moment. Fernanda, the chef was very knowledgeable and explained each step clearly, making it easy and fun to follow along. She also gave amazing local tips from how to spot the best authentic gelato to great restaurants worth trying.
We had such a good time creating pasta from scratch, and it actually turned out super delicious! The best puttanesca. We also got to make gelato from scratch, which was the perfect sweet ending to the class.
Overall, an incredibly fun and informative activity. Highly recommended for anyone visiting and wanting a hands-on Italian cooking experience! 🇮🇹🍝🍦
