Overview

Ready to make your day in the city a fun experience for the whole family? Begin by seeing the National Monument to Victor Emanuel II in Piazza Venezia. At the back of the monument lies the Ancient Roman area of the city, the Roman Forum, and the Colosseum.

Then it will be time to drive by the Baths of Caracalla until you reach the glorious Pantheon, where you will have time to explore the square and enter the site to marvel at the inlaid marble floors and beautiful statues.

Walk around Piazza Navona with its stunning monumental fountains and climb the stairs at the Spanish Steps for a view of the lively square below before you head to Trevi Fountain to toss a coin in for good luck and a safe return to Rome.

There will be also time for a traditional Italian lunch before moving on to the Appian Way area where you will spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the underground catacombs with a guided tour offered by the Catacomb staff, before returning to your hotel in the city.

Ancient Roman law prohibited the burial of the deceased inside the city walls, so they were built along the Appian Way, which was outside the walls. They are a network of passageways that can stretch for over 15 miles underground, so visiting them is only permitted with the aid of a catacomb guide provided by the site.
