An easily accessible location, it is situated to the south west of the main terminus train station. Formerly a location for forms of entertainment which included gladiator tournaments, the Colosseum was regularly attended by Roman Emperors.

Trevi Fountain

The lavishly decorated Trevi fountain was constructed by Nicola Salvi in 1762 to pay tribute to the Roman God Oceanus whose sculpture is the centre of this beautiful creation. A true work of art, the fountain is located nearby Quirinale palace and the Pantheon.

It is tradition to throw coins over one’s shoulder into the water for good luck.

Sistine Chapel

With stunning detail and iconography, the Sistine Chapel, which is part of the Vatican museum complex, is one of the most iconic religious chapels in the world.

It is the location of the papal enclave, where the new pope is selected each time. Famous for such decorations as intricate ceiling artwork and the Last Judgement fresco by Michelangelo, this astonishing structure was much restored in the 1400’s and holds limitless treasures within.
