Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy

Your driver will greet you directly below the gangway of your ship with a sign with your name. You will enter the Vatican Museums. The Vatican Museums feature one of the world’s largest art collections, including Renaissance masterpieces and stunning classical sculptures.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Colosseum, Piazza del Colosseo, 00184 Rome Italy

The Coliseum is the main symbol of Rome. It is an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years of history, will bring you back in time to discover the way of life in the Roman Empire. During the Roman Empire and under the motto of “Bread and Circuses” the Roman Colosseum (known then as Flavian Amphitheatre) allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, executions of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept the Roman people entertained for years.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Piazza Navona, 00186 Rome Italy

Piazza Navona is one of the largest squares in the city. The space is incredibly popular among tourists for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube and Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares on a daily basis.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Pantheon, Piazza della Rotonda, 00186 Rome Italy

A true masterpiece to admire on your tour of Rome: The Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it is difficult to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front – a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16thcentury fountain sitting beneath the Egyptian obelisk.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Trevi, 00187 Rome Italy

The Trevi Fountain is the largest and one of the most famous fountains in Rome. Hidden down the narrow backstreets of the city, Trevi Fountain is a secretive masterpiece, and perhaps the most spectacular fountain in Rome. Built at the end of one of the famed aqueducts that supplied the Roman Empire with water, this iconic setting attracts many visitors. Toss a coin into its waters to ensure a safe return to Rome at some stage in the future.

Duration: 20 minutes
