Suggested Itinerary

If you want an in-depth look at Rome’s most popular landmarks and historical sites in a single day, the “Best of Rome” tour is the ideal option. Your Welcome Driver will pick you up directly from 1Port of Civitavecchia and take you on a tailor-made journey through the city’s most iconic, historically significant, and beautiful locations. Although the tour is fully customizable, the following itinerary is suggested as a base.

Begin your day at 2Janiculum Hill, one of Rome’s finest panoramic terraces, offering sweeping views over domes and rooftops—a stunning introduction to the Eternal City.

Continue downhill to 3St Peter's Square , the heart of Vatican City. Arriving early provides a calmer atmosphere and an excellent opportunity to appreciate its vast piazza and Bernini’s impressive colonnades.

Your driver will then take you along the Tiber River to reach 4Castel Sant’Angelo, originally built as a Roman mausoleum and later transformed into a papal fortress. This striking circular monument perfectly reflects Rome’s layered and evolving history.

Next, enter the historic center and visit 5Piazza Navona, known for Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers and its lively surroundings filled with cafés and street artists.

A short walk brings you to 6Pantheon, the ancient temple-turned-church famous for its extraordinary domed ceiling and oculus, still perfectly preserved after nearly two millennia.

Continue on to the 7Trevi Fountain, where legend says tossing a coin into the fountain ensures your return to Rome. Just a few minutes away lies the 8Spanish Steps, perfect for a quick stroll, memorable photos, or a relaxing coffee break.

Your exploration continues at 9Piazza Venezia, a lively and historically important square at the base of Capitoline Hill, where you can appreciate the imposing Altare della Patria monument.

Finally, step into ancient Rome with a visit to the legendary [ride_stop:10]. As the largest amphitheater of the ancient world, it once hosted gladiator battles and public spectacles, and today remains one of the most famous symbols of Rome.

After a full day of discovering the Eternal City, your driver will take you back comfortably to 1Port of Civitavecchia.
