Explore the Vatican City

1.

No trip to Rome is complete without visiting the Pope’s house. Tip: Head there early on a Sunday morning and you might just spot him in the top right window.

Enjoy the Sistine Chapel & Saint Peter’s Basilica

2.

Alright, I know I gave you a little teaser of the Sistine Chapel above – but I think we can all agree that it totally deserves its own entry, along with the stunning Saint Peter’s Basilica.

Spend the Day Around the Trevi Fountain

Another must on your list of things to see in Rome, it would be easy to dismiss the Trevi Fountain as just another overblown tourist trap… until you lay eyes on it.

3.

Explore Rome’s Catacombs

Get ready to delve a little bit deeper underneath the streets of Rome, where you can explore centuries-old catacombs that were once ancient burial sites.

4.

Tour the Iconic Colosseum & Roman Forum

5.
