"To start your first day in Rome and getting to know the city, we advise you to go in the archaeological district close to the pantheon. Located in the middle of the city center, you will discover all the history of this city and all the myth around it by the Trevis Fountain before enjoying a walk through the “Terazza del Piccio” and the piazza novana.

During the afternoon, you can continue to walk through the beautiful streets in this district or lay down on the villa Borghese park with a coffee by the villa medicis.
The second day in this amazing city, we recommend you to go more in the south of this city to visit the Colosseum, one of the seven wonders of the modern world on the morning and enjoy the afternoon to go to the roman forum and palatine hill.
The third day in Rome, you should consider it entirely to visit the famous Vatican City and the huge district around from the St Peter’s square to the Sistine Chapel. We advise you to bring some snacks with you for the visit because the restaurants near will be more expensive and less typical."
