    Vatican City (pass by)

    As we cruise through the heart of Rome in our Vespa sidecar, one of the most iconic landmarks we pass—though not enter—is the Vatican City. This tiny independent city-state, the spiritual center of the Roman Catholic Church, is home to St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. While our tour doesn’t include a stop inside, you’ll get a unique street-level view of the Vatican’s majestic walls and bustling surroundings. It’s a perfect photo moment and a chance to take in the grandeur of the world’s smallest country—right from your seat in the sidecar!

    Fontana dell'Acqua Paola

    Just a bit further along Janiculum Hill, we’ll pause at the majestic Fontana dell'Acqua Paola—often called “Fontanone” by locals. This grand baroque fountain, with its cascading water and panoramic backdrop of Rome, is one of the city's hidden gems. It’s a perfect place for photos and to soak in the peaceful beauty of the Eternal City from above.
