Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Rome - The Greatness of Rome
Rome is Italy’s vibrant capital city, evoking a powerful ancient empire and a strong connection to legendary popes and artists. Cathedral domes add to the historic skyline. Narrow cobblestone lanes open up to hidden piazzas. The aroma of fresh pasta filters through a charming local restaurant specializing in family recipes passed down for generations. Ancient wonders lead to Baroque beauty. Your private transfer greets you at Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport upon your arrival. Soon you find yourself in a luxurious hotel near the heart of the city.
The Arch of Constantine stands between the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. The 4th-century structure frames the Via Triumphalis; the pathway emperors took to enter the city after a military triumph. The arch stands more than 68 feet tall and 84 feet wide. It is the perfect image to welcome you to the city, flouting the grandeur of the ancient empire in the well-preserved friezes detailing the triumphs of the past.
