Because it says that 'all roads lead to Rome', it would be appropriate to choose the Eternal City as the next tourist destination! You will enjoy both a legendary cuisine and a magical ancient history ... Visiting Rome will leave you full of magical memories and historical ... And you'll want - to return to Italy soon!
Day 1 - Getting around Rome
You will have no problem getting around in Rome, options abound! If you want to rest, so opt for a tour of the capital in open top bus and multi-stop and consider it as your taxi and private guide! (The bus provides a commentary in no less than 6 different languages) ... If you want a more youthful and dynamic, you can walk aboard the Segway gyroscope ... Or if you want to simplify your life, then wander off ! There are various hikes that will make you discover either the classical or the Middle Ages or the Renaissance ...
Once completed your first ride, go take a look at the Colosseum, one of the most famous monuments around the world! With Viator, book your tickets in advance and enjoy unrestricted access as well as privileged ... A good plan to arrange for you to discover this marvel as they did a Roman.
Then go visit the Roman catacombs, a site a little sinister, it is true, and that is ... The underground burial chambers dating from the Roman Empire will make you dream or maybe nightmares ... If you like this side dark tourism, continue your weekend by a circuit ghosts and mysteries (a family activity that will delight young and old).
To keep going throughout this beautiful day, you will eat, and luckily, Rome is a gustatory delight for all lovers of Italian cuisine. Head to one of the typical town, as Testaccio or the Jewish Ghetto. For dinner, you can choose a nice restaurant, then take a romantic cruise on the Tiber to Rome to enjoy a night incredibly beautiful.
Day 2: Centro Storico - the historic center of Rome
Start your second day with the Pantheon. Once entered in, be sure to admire the famous opening in the center of the latter, the oculus, which, at the right time of day, lets in a luminous halo of the most magical.
Of course, you need to buy some souvenirs for your family and friends back home ... Instead of bringing a plastic breastplate, head to Via del Corso. The latter, a shopping district among the busiest of Rome, will offer options for some nice little thoughts. Proceed through the Trevi Fountain to throw a coin or two (according to myth, this ensures that you will return to Rome one day! So please ...). Come back, finally, on Via del Corso, making a detour through Via dei Condotti, the most expensive shopping street in Rome (but that will make you dream!). The latter leads directly to the famous Spanish Steps. If you are active, the climb up and head to the Pincio Hill, where you can soak up magnificent views of the Eternal City.
Day 3: Vatican or the smallest country in the world!
Of course you will not need a passport to visit the 1 / 2 square kilometer in Vatican City. It is recommended to see the Vatican Museum with a guided tour to avoid queues during your stay. Once outside, follow the wall housing the secret passage of the pope to St. Peter's Square, then along the Via della Conciliazione to St Peter's Basilica. You can admire its interiors and (at a cost quite affordable) to reach the top of the dome. The views from the top are truly unique and you can admire the gardens of the Vatican as well.
You have a bit of energy? Then hop on the Gianicolo Hill where you can admire the horizon before the Roman fountain dell'Acqua Paola, which the Romans call "Fontanone" (the big fountain). If you decided to leave in the summer you can even attend an evening outdoor concert!
In three days you will have seen a lot! But Rome is a city worth several visits. So plan to come back to see what the Eternal City can offer more ... Ciao!
