Rome in two days

DAY 1

VATICAN GARDENS

We begin our adventure in the Vatican Gardens, a sublime example of an Italian garden, which covers almost half the territory of Vatican City.
These gardens were created during the Renaissance, reworked during the Baroque period and are a true oasis of peace.
As you stroll among elaborate fountains, ancient sculptures and meticulously manicured flower beds, you will feel the history and spirituality that permeate this place.

PONTIFICAL GARDENS AND APOSTOLIC PALACE

After exploring the Vatican Gardens, explore the Pontifical Gardens. These gardens offer a breathtaking view of the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Pope.
The Apostolic Palace is not just a building but a complex of history, art and religion. The architecture is majestic and the interiors are decorated with priceless works of art, making it a true jewel of the city of Rome.

DAY 2

COLOSSEO

The second day begins with a visit to the Colosseo, the undisputed symbol of Rome.
This ancient amphitheatre, one of the largest ever built, has witnessed gladiator fights, spectacles and historical dramas.
As you walk through its imposing ruins, you will feel transported back in time, imagining your own sphere and the emotions of those ancient spectacles.

FORO ROMANO AND PALATINO
