Top 10 Sights of Rome
From St. Peter’s Square to the Colosseum, take in Rome’s defining landmarks on a guided walk and panoramic drive.
Rome doesn’t ease in—it puts it all on display. St. Peter’s Square sets the tone, then the walk unfolds—Castel Sant’Angelo, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain—with time to stop for lunch or wander a little. Then it shifts. The Roman Forum and the Colosseum bring the scale, before you board for a panoramic drive past Circus Maximus, the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, and St. Paul Outside the Walls. You’ll be on your feet for stretches—but that’s Rome.
