4. Sites and visits in Rome
Guided Sightseeing Tour
A sightseeing tour of Rome will
offer your group the opportunity
to see the city's main attractions.
A professional, experienced,
English-speaking guide will give an
insight into the history and culture
of the city and will be able to
answer any questions you may
have.

5. Sites and visits in Rome
The Colosseum
Rome’s great gladiatorial arena is
the most thrilling of the city's
ancient sights. A monument to
raw, merciless power. It is not just
the amazing completeness of the
place, or its size, but the sense of
violent history that resonates. Two
thousand years on it is Italy's top
tourist attraction.

6. Sites and visits in Rome
The Vatican City
The Vatican City is situated entirely
within the city of Rome, sprawling
over a hill west of the River Tiber,
and separated from the rest of the
city by a wall. Vatican City comprises
St Peter’s Church, St Peter’s Square,
the Vatican and the Vatican Gardens.
The Vatican City is best known to
tourists and students of architecture
for the magnificent St Peter’s
Basilica.

7. Sites and visits in Rome
The Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain stands 85 feet
high and 65 feet wide, it is the
largest Baroque fountain in Rome.
A traditional legend holds that if
visitors throw a coin into the
fountain, they are ensured a
return to Rome.

8. Sites and visits in Rome
Borghese Gallery
The Borghese villa and its small
palace were constructed at the
beginning of the 17th century in an
area then occupied by orchards
and vineyards, evidence of which
can still be seen today. It
exemplifies the style of villa owned
by a great Roman family at that
period. The Gallery contains works
by Raffaello, Canova, Bernini and
Romano.
