Itinerary

  • Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    San Giovanni in Laterano is the oldest of the four main basilicas of the eternal city. It is the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome and the official ecclesiastical seat of the Pope. San Giovanni in Laterano is the first of the four major basilicas in Rome and the oldest in Christianity. The Basilica, which stands near Mount Celio, was built on the same site as the basilica built by Constantine, around 314, on land already owned by the noble Lateran family, from which the whole area takes its name.
  • Case Romane del Celio

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    On the slopes of the Celio, below the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, there is the extraordinary archaeological complex which contains over four centuries of history and testifies to the passage and coexistence between paganism and Christianity. Access opens from the Clivo di Scauro, an ancient Roman road and main axis of the Celio, which has preserved part of its original route. The Domus, discovered in 1887 by Father Germano di San Stanislao, rector of the Basilica at the time, represent one of the most fascinating places in underground Rome due to the extraordinary state of conservation of the rooms and the very high artistic value and religious interest of the site.
  • Park Colle Oppio

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Colle Oppio is one of the three mountains of the Esquiline Hill, the southernmost of it, immediately north-east of the Colosseum. Its public park preserves vestiges such as the important Domus Aurea or the remains of the baths of Trajan and Titus. It was furnished around 1930 by the architect Raffaele di Vico, after an old project of an English-style park from 1870, enriched with fountains and water features. At the foot of the hill, you can see the ruins of the main ancient gladiator school, the Ludus Magnus. On the hill we discover splendid views of the Colosseum and the Palatine.
  • Parco Savello

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    The Savello Park or Orange Garden is located on the Aventine hill, in the area of the ancient fortress built by the Savelli family towards the end of the 13th century near the church of Santa Sabina; the fortress was built on a pre-existing 10th century castle belonging to the Crescenzi family. The large medieval walls of the fortress now surround the small rectangular garden, very popular because from the belvedere overlooking the river you can enjoy a splendid view of Rome which goes from the bend of the Tiber to St. Peter's Basilica.
  • Aventino

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Aventine owes its name to one of the seven Roman hills on which it stands and extends in the southern part of the capital, between the Tiber river and the Baths of Caracalla. It is an exclusive hilly area rich in history, thanks to the presence of numerous historic and valuable buildings. The story sees the Aventine Hill as the protagonist since the foundation of the city, when Remus chose it as the ideal point in the famous dispute with his brother Romulus over the place where the city should be built. Remus lost the dispute and the city was built in the Palatine area, but the Aventine (which stood in front of it) remained a fundamental point for Rome and its citizens. It transformed into a mostly mercantile neighborhood starting from 650 BC, thanks to the nearby river port, an area frequented mainly by foreigners and close to the pomerium. In 400 BC. it was the scene of plebeian struggles and it was the latter who became its owners, starting the construction of popular housing.
  • Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Not Included
    One of the four papal basilicas of Rome, the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore stands on the top of the Esquiline Hill and is the only one to have preserved the original early Christian structure, albeit enriched by later additions. Legend has it that the rich Roman patrician John and his wife, having no children, decided to dedicate a church to the Virgin Mary, who appeared to them in a dream one August night in 352 AD. In the dream, the Madonna informed them that a miracle would indicated to them the place on which to build the church.
  • Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri stands on the remains of the monumental Baths of Diocletian, an imposing construction that flaunted the grandeur of the Roman Empire. The project to transform the complex into a church is due to Michelangelo, who limited himself to a "conservative" restoration and is the only Renaissance church in Rome. On the floor you can admire the meridian line drawn by Francesco Bianchini in 1703, which indicates midday and the arrival of the solstice and equinox, as well as functioning as a calendar. The church has a monumental organ with 5,400 pipes, capable of leaving visitors speechless who are lucky enough to listen to its melodies inside the immense temple.
  • Villa Borghese

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Villa Borghese is one of the largest parks in Rome. Built at the behest of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, it houses prestigious neoclassical and nineteenth-century buildings. The beauty of the picturesque gardens, wonderful fountains and park attractions make it one of the most attractive green spaces in Europe. Villa Borghese (also called Villa Pinciana) is an English-style public park in the center of Rome full of monuments, gardens, statues and exciting views, the park extends over one of the most famous hills of Rome within the Aurelian walls: the Pincio. Today this hill is a fantastic garden intersected by wide avenues and tree-lined walks surrounded by busts of internationally renowned artists. The Pincio terrace, which overlooks Piazza del Popolo, offers a spectacular view of Rome, which extends from Piazza del Popolo to the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, a unique panorama in the world.
