The Pantheon united Roman religion under one huge dome, which to this day is the largest in the world. Because of the metal detectors set up in Covid period, there can be a long line to the Pantheon, so perhaps we will enjoy its view from the outside.

    Trevi Fountain

    We will start our tour at your hotel and go early to the most famous fountain in the world, the Trevi Fountain, while there are not a huge number of people there.

Prepare some coins to throw into the fountain and be sure to return to Rome, as the Roman tradition says. If you wish, next to the fountain you can try the most delicious Roman ice cream.

    The English word for "capital" comes from the name of Rome's most important historical hill, the Capitoline Hill, which tells us of the exceptional importance of this place in the ancient period. Here was the seat of administration of the city and the empire, the main temple of Jupiter, and today there is the Roman City Hall, the oldest museum in the world, as well as the symbol of the city - the Capitoline Wolf, about whose history you will learn. The Capitoline Hill offers the most beautiful view of the center of ancient Rome - the Roman Forum.

    You will see the largest arena of the ancient period, designed for chariot races, accommodating 250,000 spectators, located on the slopes of the two Roman hills - Palantine and Aventine, as well as the imperial palace on Palatine Hill, from which the emperor himself watched the race. The chariot races had not only the function of entertainment, but also had an important aspect of socialization and propaganda of power. This is why the horse-racing arenas were much larger than the amphitheaters.
