ROME IN ONE DAY: THE MASTERPIECES OF THE VATICAN
If you stay in Rome one day you can’t make the complete tour of the Vatican Museums, but you can admire the most important works of art, including the Sistine Chapel.
Visiting the Vatican Museums means entering the smallest Country in the world but with the highest concentration of works of art on the planet.
The secret of not missing the most beautiful works is to be accompanied by an expert tour guide, who in only 2 and a half hours will lead you in front of the masterpieces of the Vatican Museums, will reveal you the meaning and history of the Sistine Chapel and the Last Judgement by Michelangelo, and will show you the inner part of St. Peter’s Basilica.
ROME IN ONE DAY: THE COLOSSEUM
You can’t leave Rome without seeing the Colosseum.
It’s the symbol of the city and Italy in the world, but is also the considerable remains of the greatness of Ancient Rome, because is the largest amphitheatre ever built. Buying the ticket for the Colosseum you’ll have also the opportunity to visit the nearby Roman Forum, which is what remains of the political, administrative, religious and economic centre of the ancient city of Rome.
A visit to these places is a dive into the past!
