Features of Rome Airport Transfer + 1 Hour Sightseeing:
Your private English-speaking driver will be waiting for you just as you
come out of baggage claim. After a
30-minute drive you will arrive in Rome’s business district, EUR, an acronym for Esposizione
Universale di Roma. The esposizione
was a world’s fair that was supposed to take place in 1942 but never happened
due to the onset of the Second World War.
San Paolo Fuori Le Mura (St. Paul Outside the Walls) is one of the four papal basilicas in
Rome, second in size only to St. Peter's.
Built in the 4th Century AD on the site of Paul the Apostle’s tomb, it
has been reconstructed a couple of times, rising to fame for its collection of
Paleo-Christian, Byzantine and Gothic art treasures, as well as a long series
of medallions that depicts the popes throughout history. Time will be given to admire its impressive
architecture, as well as the lovely rose garden and 13th-century cloister.
Your tour will continue with a drive-by of some of the city's highlights:
The Pyramid of Cestius, a funerary monument built in the 1st
century BC, when Egyptian things were all the rage in Rome. The tomb was built for Gaius Cestius, a
magistrate who had very likely served in the Roman campaigns against Egypt.
As you regard the Emperors' Palace on the Palatine Hill
let your imagination drift back a couple thousand years to a time when the
chariot races took place in Circus Maximus.
The Colosseum will afterward show
itself in all its greatness. The most
iconic monument in Rome, this amphitheater from the 1st Century AD is a place
where 50.000 people watched cruel battles between gladiators and wild beasts.
In Piazza Venezia, the central hub of the city, you’ll see the
massive monument to Victor Emmanuel, the first king of united Italy, and
the palazzo that was Mussolini's headquarters, where he gave many of his
legendary speeches from the balcony facing the piazza.
Cruising down the Via dei Fori Imperiali (Road of the Imperial
Forums), lined with bronze statues of the greatest Roman emperors, you’ll get a
glimpse of (surprise!) the ruins of the Roman forums on both sides of the
street.
No tour would be complete without a quick stop at Trevi fountain,
the largest and most famous baroque fountain in the city. Throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain
and be part of the ritual that has become famous amongst the throngs of
visitors who want to ensure their return to Rome.
