Saturday, September 21st Day 3 Rome Touring

Enjoy a complimentary breakfast and meet with your

Tour Director. This morning we will embark on a

walking tour of the historical centre of Rome. We

start this enchanting walk from the Quirinal, the

highest of Rome's 7 hills and the one where ancient

Romans and later the Popes built their residences. We

reach the Trevi Fountain, the most majestic of the

Roman fountains. We will also see the Spanish Steps.

This square is named after the Palace, the seat of the first European Embassy established in the

city permanently, and the famous flight of steps. Walk around the most elegant shopping

streets in Rome and reach Piazza Navona, the most Baroque of the Roman squares. We

continue to the Pantheon, dating back to the II century a.d.. Our last stop will be in Piazza

Campo de' Fiori, the popular centre of the city and Piazza Farnese with its twin fountains made

of two marble basins from Caracalla Baths.

This afternoon we will have a tour of Ancient Rome.

Step back into antiquity during a 3-hours stroll through

the archaeological sites. Visit the Roman Forum, the

forum of Caesar Augustus and Trajan, the Capitol,

Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Let the magic of ancient

Rome archaeological marvels cast its spell. Marc

Antony on the rostra, the stones of Caesar's cremation

site , assembled senators in the Curia, vestal virgins

meditating in the romantic surroundings of their home

and the eternal fire burning in Vesta's temple. Also see Rome’s most cherished shrine, Cicero's

flaming oratory in the Rome's basilicas and the wild atmosphere of gladiator games in the

Colosseum, will all seem to materialize. Easy to let imagination carry you through an exciting

archaeological journey to history.

This evening we will enjoy an included dinner at a local restaurant and afterwards you are free

to explore Rome on your own or relax back at the hotel.
