Rome is among the cities that attract the most tourists in the world. After our arrival, we will start our walking city tour at the Colosseum, the most magnificent work of the Roman Empire, originally called the Flavian Amphitheater. Previously, the place where the Colosseum stands was Emperor Nero's palace. Nero’s lavish palace led to a rebellion from the public. After Nero's death, Rome experienced bloody wars, and the palace was burned. The succeeding emperor Vespasian built the Colosseum in the same area where the palace stood. The construction took over 10 years and hosted many important events in Roman history, including gladiatorial fights. After our panoramic visit to the Colosseum, we will see one of the largest archaeological sites, the Roman Forum. Our visit continues with the magnificent Spanish Steps, known for their architectural features. The design of the stairs shows influences from the Baroque and Rococo styles. With a total of 138 steps, the steps offer a view of the Trinita Dei Monti Church. At the bottom of the stairs is the boat-shaped Fontana della Barcaccia, one of Rome's famous fountains. The design of the Spanish Steps has been a major source of inspiration for artists, painters, and poets of that era, becoming a popular spot. Our next stop is the famous Trevi Fountain. Afterwards, we continue our tour with Vatican City, the only country that is the smallest in the world and governed by an absolute monarchy. We will visit St. Peter's Cathedral.
