Piazza Navona

The Piazza Navona is the hub of Rome that cultivates a community filled with food lovers, art and stunning architecture. Your guide will walk you through the history behind the Egyptian Obelisk and the Fountain of Four Rivers, which never goes unnoticed due to its brilliant and intricate architecture. Underneath the piazza lies the Stadium of Domitian, an ancient stadium that was used for competitive games in ancient Rome. Today, the stadium is covered up by the Piazza and the markets that fill it.

Pantheon

The next stop on this tour is Rome’s most well-preserved Ancient landmark, the Pantheon. The construction of the building draws upon the architecture of the Ancient Greeks, as the rectangular vestibule filters into a vast rotunda. What used to be a temple for some of Rome’s priceless works of art, now, the Pantheon is considered a church. Be sure to ask your guide about the Pantheon oculus, a circular opening in the structure's dome that lets in beautiful natural light.

Spanish Steps

Located in the heart of Rome’s higher-end shopping market, the breathtaking Spanish Steps lead up to the exquisite church, Trinità dei Monti. At the bottom of all 174 steps is Fontana della Barcaccia, or “Fountain of the Longboat”, one of Rome’s beautiful fountains. If you are up to the challenge of climbing all of the Spanish Steps, the Borghese Gardens will be waiting for you at the top with some of the most incredible views of the Eternal City.

Trevi Fountain

The Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous fountains on Earth, serves as another one of Rome’s cultural and social hubs. Known for its striking baroque style architecture, the fountain serves as both a famous staple in Rome as well as a source of charity. The coins thrown into the Trevi Fountain are donated to a local Catholic charity and used to benefit the homeless community in Rome. Tourists throw in coins in hopes of returning to Rome, new romance or marital bliss.
