Day 1 - Depart from your city to Rome

Day 2 - Rome - Arrive at Fiumicino airport and transfer to our first class Grand Hotel**** Olympic. A welcome cocktail will be served upon arrival. Rome (the Eternal, Capital of the World, The City), capital city of Italy, will be our home away from home. Legend has it that Rome was founded by the twins Romulus and Remus and is definitively unique with its rich history and fervent vitality of its citizens. We encourage you to savor your first Roman dinner at nearby typical and well known restaurants and enjoy your meal with a glass or two of “er vino de‘ Castelli“, typical regional wine. Around the corner from our hotel you will find the typical and affordable restaurant “Zi’ Gaetana”.

Day 3 - Rome - Today is at leisure. Our hotel is centrally located in the city center of Rome near the Vatican and within easy reach of all major sights and shops of Rome. You will have ample time to explore the “Eternal City”. (B)

Day 4 - Rome - Morning at leisure. This afternoon we offer an “optional” tour with a professional guide (approximately 3 hours) of Imperial Rome.One of the symbols of Rome is the Coliseum, the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire and used for gladiatorial combat. The Roman Forum was the central area around which ancient Rome developed.

The Spanish Steps is a set of steps climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Trinità dei Monti. It is named after the nearby Embassy of Spain (1653). The famous Scalinata is without a doubt the longest and widest staircase in Europe. The Trevi Fountain is the largest and most ambitious of the Baroque fountains in Rome. This fountain was immortalized by films such as “Three coins in the Fountain, Roman Vacation, and La Dolce Vita“. (B)

Day 5 - Rome - Another full day at leisure. Places of interest worth visiting today are: Piazza del Popolo with the church of Santa Maria where masterpieces of Pinturicchio, Raphael, Caravaggio and Bernini can be admired; Piazza Navona it is considered the most beautiful baroque square in Rome; The Pantheon is still the biggest concrete dome in the world (27 B.C.); Borghese Museum and Gallery with Bernini’s masterpieces “Apollo and Daphne”, “The Rape of Persephone“; Piazza Venezia with the monument to Italy‘s king Vittorio Emanuele (The Wedding Cake); Trastevere where the locals enjoy their favorite dishes of “abbacchio and spaghetti a’ matriciana”. (B)

Day 6 - Thu - Rome - Today we offer an “optional” morning tour with a professional guide (approximately 3 hours) of Vatican City. The story of the “Vatican” started about two thousand years ago when the Apostle Peter was buried across the Tiber River in 67 A.D. The Basilica of Saint Peter is one of the four major basilicas of Rome. It is the most prominent building inside the Vatican City and built on the ruins of Old Saint Peter's Basilica. As you enter, to your right, Michelangelo’s “Pieta’” is displayed. The “Colonnade” was built by Bernini (1656-1666).The Vatican Museums display works from the extensive collection of the Roman Catholic Church. The Sistine Chapel is in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope. Its fame rests in its decoration, frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists including Michelangelo. The ceiling is legendary and it is in the Sistine Chapel that every new Pope is selected. (B)
