Description

Take a full-day tour to Rome from Florence by fast train. Admire the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and Piazza Navona. Enjoy a typical Italian lunch and visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Begin your tour from the Spanish Steps and Trinità dei Monti. Admire the iconic Spanish Steps that connect the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti Church. The church's twin bell towers rise gracefully, and its facade gleams in creamy travertine. Trinità dei Monti offers breathtaking views of Rome, a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. Continue to the Trevi Fountain, a masterpiece of Baroque art, depicting Neptune, flanked by Tritons and sea creatures. Tradition whispers that tossing a coin over your shoulder into the fountain ensures your return to Rome. Continue to 'Piazza della Rotonda', where you can admire the Mighty Pantheon, a marvel of engineering and spirituality. This ancient temple, dedicated to all the gods, stands as a testament to Roman ingenuity. Its massive dome, with an oculus at its center, bathes the interior in celestial light. Walk along the narrow charming streets, crossing hidden courtyards, reaching Piazza Navona, Bernini's Masterpiece. This lively square was once the Stadium of Domitian, where chariot races and athletic contests unfolded. Today, it's adorned with Bernini's Fountain of Four Rivers a grand centerpiece featuring allegorical figures representing the world's great rivers. The square buzzes with life, artists, and street performers. Enjoy a typical Italian lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel to admire Michelangelo’s famous masterpieces. Stroll along the corridors to admire the world’s largest private art collection, once intended exclusively for the Pope. Pass through Raphael’s Rooms, four interconnecting chambers adorned with paintings by Raphael and his pupils, to reach the beautiful breathtaking Sistine Chapel, considered the Holy Chapel of the Pope. Admire one of the most sacred sites of the Vatican where you will have the occasion to appreciate Michelangelo's amazing frescoes (“The Creation of the world” and the “Last Judgment”) and other works painted by famous artists such as Perugino, Botticelli, and Ghirlandaio. At the end of the tour, transfer to the train station for the return to Florence.
