Augustus, Tiberius, Maxentius and many others decided to build their Palaces here, among the remains of Romulus wall and the huts dating back to 4.000 years. His panoramic position, still offers amazing views on the Eternal City! Just the view of the Circus Maximum from the Palatine Hill is worth the tour.

    Piazza Navona

    No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Piazza Navona, one of the largest squares in the city. The space is incredibly popular among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube and Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares on a daily basis.

    Hidden down the narrow backstreets of the city, Trevi Fountain is a secretive masterpiece and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome. Built at the end of one of the famed aqueducts that supplied the Roman empire with water, this iconic setting attracts many visitors if only for them to toss a coin into its waters to ensure their safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.

    St. Peter's Basilica

    Then, move onwards to the enchanting St. Peter’s Square, set within Vatican City in front of the famed St. Peter’s Basilica.
