Exploring Rome On Foot
Rome is a destination best explored on foot, where every cobbled street reveals centuries of art and architecture. When planning city breaks to Rome, you can easily connect the capital's top highlights in a single, memorable weekend:
- Vatican City & St Peter’s Basilica: Start at the largest church in the world, taking the 551 steps to the top of the cupola for a wondrous view across the skyline. Step back to 100 A.D., when this sprawling city was Caput Mundi—the central heart of the ancient world.
- The Sistine Chapel: Located next to St. Peter’s, this artistic masterpiece is adorned with Michelangelo’s painted ceiling and frescoes, representing a true pinnacle of the High Renaissance.
- Piazza Navona & The Pantheon: Cross the River Tiber at Castel Sant’Angelo (Hadrian’s Mausoleum) to sip an espresso or enjoy a gelato in Piazza Navona. Admire street artists and grand architecture before visiting the nearby Pantheon.
- Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps: Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to guarantee your return, then scale the 138 steps to the summit of the Spanish Steps at Trinita dei Monti for awe-inspiring city views.
- The Colosseum: As sunset beckons, visit the ancient amphitheatre that once seated 55,000 spectators for gladiatorial spectacles—now one of the most iconic architectural landmarks on Earth.
