Avoid the crowds with an early year visit to Rome and even meet the Pope himself! Steeped in history, breathtaking views, food and culture, what's not to love.
What better way to start your trip to Rome than on a food tour? Start the tour outside an eye-catching pyramid and hear about the city’s third-century city gate and Aurelian walls. Learn about the ancient routes of Via Ostiensis and the River Tiber as you delve into the eating habits of Ancient Rome. Try fresh artichokes, fruits, drinks such as Chicchi and Lettere, pasta and of course pizza! Book your place on “Discover Testaccio” here.
Get early access to the papal audience ceremony, and witness the Pope in action! It's not every day you get to see a figure of such importance up close, watch the Pope make his way to the stage, and join the weekly gathering which includes prayers, blessings, and a homily. After the ceremony, you'll have a guided tour of the iconic Basilica of St. Peter. Tour the Renaissance-style church, with its famous dome added by Michelangelo. Once inside witness the lavishly decorated marble and gilding. There are also a number of sculptures, including Michelangelo’s Pietà.

With so many historical buildings to see such as the Colosseum, Castel Sant'Angelo and of course the Sistine Chapel, you’ll be spoilt for choice but if you want to take in “Rome from the Sky”, take the glass elevator ride at the Vittoriano monument, which offers stunning panoramic views over the city.
For nightlife, there is plenty going on, usually starting with an aperitif, then take your pick from an abundance of cafes, gelaterias, trattorias, pizzerias and osterias, before heading onto more lively areas such as Monte, Testaccio and Ostiense districts.
So are you ready to make a wish at the Trevi Fountain? Book your trip today!
