After setting an appointment for our return, we leave the bus and we are immediately immersed in the magical atmosphere of
the Eternal City, where, at every turn, we encounter evidence of many centuries of history that have contributed to make the
city what it is today, from pagan times through the long earthly reign of the Popes up to the present.
Along elegant streets and in the narrow alleys, in the large and small squares, up and down the gentle slopes of the seven hills,
wandering around Rome is an unforgettable experience for everyone because this city offers a concentration of sublime art,
entertainment and shopping like very few other cities in the world.
The day is all ours to see, visit, buy and enjoy all that Rome has to offer, as we wish.
In the late afternoon, we return to the meeting point as agreed with our local guide at the agreed time to return on board.

We will get off the coach near the only access point: a long, pedestrianised bridge made from reinforced concrete, built to
benefit the few remaining residents and the tourists that come to visit the citadel from all over the world.
That is how we will enter this attractive Medieval town, known as "the City of Death" due to the gradual erosion of the tufa
foundations on which it was built.
We will walk around the tiny centre where time seems to have stood still, treating us to a truly surreal and unforgettable

and eye-opening attractions of the eternal city.
Our adventure begins with a sightseeing coach tour of Rome’s ancient ruins, which even today lend the centre of the city an
air of majesty and prestige.
Our route takes us past such wonders as the Pyramid of Cestius, a funeral monument built in the Egyptian style in the 1st
century BC, the Baths of Caracalla, the grandest thermal complex of the imperial age, the Circus Maximus, where the crowds
once flocked to watch the chariot races.
We leave our coach for a guided tour of the church of San Pietro in Vincoli (Saint Peter in Chains), which is home to a
Michelangelo masterpiece, a statue of Moses.
Next, we stop to take a photo or two at the Colosseum, perhaps the most famous monument in Rome and an absolute must-
see on our visit to the city. From there, we begin a walking tour along the via dei Fori Imperiali, where the ancient imperial
capital seems to come back to life. This leads us to the feet of the Capitoline Hill and Piazza Venezia, on whose southern side
towers “Il Vittoriano” the imposing monument to King Victor Emanuel II.
At this point, we may be beginning to feel a little languorous, so what better time to take a seat for some deliciously authentic
Italian cooking with lunch at a local restaurant?
Suitably restored, we head back out on foot, this time focusing on the treasures of Baroque Rome: we pass the Trevi Fountain
, with the ever-present throngs of tourists, and the Palazzo Montecitorio, a glorious example of Roman Baroque, which
overlooks the piazza of the same name, and which is now the seat of the Chamber of Deputies, one of the two houses of the
Italian Parliament. Finally, we reach Piazza Navona, with the splendid fountain designed by the great sculptor and architect
Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Our last stop is the Vatican City, where the two semi-circles of the colonnade designed by Bernini embrace the circular piazza
and frame the façade and huge dome of the magnificent St. Peter’s Basilica.
The transfer to Rome takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
The guide will join the excursion group once we reach Rome.
This excursion involves about 2 hours of walking. Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended.
This excursion is not available to passengers who are leaving the ship at Civitavecchia.
This excursion is not recommended for guests with lmited mobility.
We recommend that you book early as only a limited number of places are available.
Due to new security control procedures many tourist sites may have long queues, even for pre-booked groups.

immense historical, artistic and spiritual wealth.
What we will see

What we will do
When we arrive in Rome, we begin our visit with a sightseeing tour of the city (by coach) that takes us to some of Rome's most
famous monuments including the magnificent Colosseum, built by the Emperors of the Flavian dynasty for public
entertainment. We leave the coach to admire this symbolic monument of ancient Rome from the exterior and we continue on
foot.
Our itinerary takes us to the Trevi Fountain, a magnificent Baroque monument that attracts visitors to the Eternal City and is
also famous for the custom of throwing coins into the water with your back to the fountain: one to make sure you return to
Rome and a second one to make a wish.
The tour proceeds to the Pantheon, one of the best preserved monuments of Antiquity, built by the Emperor Hadrian in
honour of all the gods.
Our next stop is Piazza Navona, one of the landmarks of the city, which is still steeped in the atmosphere of the times when it
was the scene of circus games in 17th century Rome. Here we have free time for lunch.
Our main destination awaits us in the afternoon: St. Peter's Square with its magnificent Basilica. We stop to observe the
colonnade designed by Bernini that embraces the circular area of the square framing the façade of the Basilica and its huge
dome.
In our free time we can visit St. Peter's Basilica, the symbol of the Vatican State, built on the tomb of St. Peter. Inside there are
priceless treasures of art including the Pietà, the magnificent marble statue by Michelangelo.
After a last look at the heart of Christianity and after taking another few photos with which to remember it we return to the
coach that takes us back to the ship.
