It remains a symbol of the Flavian dynasty and continues to be one of the most awe-inspiring structures of the ancient world.
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.

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.

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 St. Callixtus in Rome, is the 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. Extending nearly 20 kilometers long and 20 meters deep with four levels, covering about 37 hectares, these Roman catacombs are a significant part of Rome's early Christian history.
Back then, Christians in Rome struggled to find proper burial grounds. They either had to bury their loved ones in Pagan cemeteries or on private land. To solve this, with the help of volunteers and donations, they started building the Catacombs of St. Callixtus, gradually expanding the official cemetery over time.
Explore this sacred site, where the history of the early Christian faith comes alive. Check out these tours and discover the stories of these Roman martyrs and the legacy they left behind in the Eternal City during early Christian Rome.

A visit to Rome can never be complete without stopping by at the Roman colosseum, Roman forum and the Palatine hill. Not only an engineering marvel, it's rich in culture. The trip would take about 3 hours and our guide was passionately explaining the history and culture behind all the buildings. I find the lesser known Roman forum and Palatine Hill a slightly better place to spend time and gawk at all the wonders that is Rome.

I’d wanted to do the underground tour for a long time and this holiday I finally did . Our tour Guide Margarita was excellent , clear and extremely professional. this is my third time visiting the Coliseum but I had never learned so much as with your tour . . I have to mention her style involves walking backwards as she keeps eye contact with the group as possible . that’s amazing 3 hour effort !

Best first access tour guide ever for vatican experience in the early morning with lesser crowd and quick security check. We chose th small group of 8 where we could truly experience the journey and asked as many questions as we could. Credit to our guide, Lora, where she explained the artpieces and history of Vatican Museums, Sistine chapel, courtyard and Basilica in very slow and detail manner.

What can I say except, Ivana is the best tour guide!! She gave our group a very nice stroll along the ruins of the Roman Forum, explained what we see in a way that will be easy for us to understand. She led us to spots where we can see the best spots in Rome and to top that, she is just simply fabulous and classyyyy.

The trip originally included a train transfer, but perhaps the large number of people and considering the traffic that day, it ended up taking a tourist car to the pier and then boarding the shuttle boat. The itinerary is compact, with a longer stay in Positano and later to Amalfi. It is recommended to do information gathering before departure to select or book a restaurant in Positano, as this tour is not included. We had asked the tour guide which restaurant to recommend, but she suggested we find it ourselves. Hotel accommodation in these two places is expensive, but the scenery is excellent and worth the trip. We were afraid that there would be problems if we arranged our own transportation for a day trip, so we joined this tour. The traffic arrangement is very smooth, and there is nothing to be picky about this, but it is best to do some homework on your own to view the sights, because it is all free time when you get to shore.
