Day 2 - Rome
Morning guided sightseeing and orientation, including headset,
takes you to the Vatican museums to view some of its amazing
treasures. See the Sistine Chapel, with Michelangelo's famous
ceiling paintings and The Last Judgement. Visit monumental St.
Peter's Square and Basilica, originally built in 313 AD above St.
Peter the Apostle's tomb. From 1506, the Basilica was reconstructed
by great artists and sculptors, and it has the largest interior of
all Christian churches. Cross the Tiber River and continue your
immersion in history at the iconic Colosseum, built for 50,000
spectators, and the Roman Forum, where the oldest structures of the
ancient city are located. (Please note the Vatican Museums are
closed on Wednesdays and Sundays, therefore if your included
sightseeing falls on those days, your alternate sightseeing will
include Trevi Fountain, a true masterpiece and icon of Rome,
Palazzo Chigi, the heart of Italian political life, an inside visit
of the Pantheon, and world-renowned Piazza Navona. Your tour
concludes with a visit of the Colosseum and Roman Forum.)
