ROME - Vatican

The capital of Italy, Rome is an amalgamation of history, sanctity, art, and architecture. Known for its glorious past, visitors can see reflections of ancient Roman history in iconic sites such as the Colosseum and Pantheon. Devotees come from all over the world to visit the Vatican City and pray at St. Peter’s Basilica. Regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines, the church is a spectacular representation of Renaissance architecture and is the burial site of Saint Peter. Art and architecture take centre stage in beautiful Roma; awe-inspiring masterpieces adorn every street corner and tourists have a gala time taking snapshots of these artistic wonders. A visit to the Spanish Steps makes the list of every Rome itinerary. Built in 1723-1725, the stairway of 135 steps is a stunning creation located in between the Piazza di Spagna and the Trinità dei Monti church. The Eternal city is also home to numerous archaic fountains, influenced by different architectural styles. The Trevi fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in the region and simply gorgeous to look at. The fountain was said to be the meeting point of three streets and therefore derives its name from Tre Vie meaning three ways. Offering a culturally-rich experience like no other, the city teaches you to appreciate beauty in all its forms. And when you take a break from the endless sightseeing, Rome lures you with heavenly pizzas, pastas and gelatos.
