The Quirinal and the Baroque style

A stroll on the Aventine hill, and its Basilica of Santa Sabina

The Aventine hill is peppered with convents, peaceful gardens and private homes. Its pace is almost rural, yet it exudes typical Roman charm.

St. Peter's square and basilica

The Vatican - About 2 hours

St. Peter’s basilica and its square, the Piazza San Pietro, are emblematic of Rome. Representing the epicentre of Catholicism, they were built on the original site of the apostle Peter’s martyrdom. Who hasn’t read Christ’s words, “Upon this rock I shall build my church”?
Here we shall also discover masterpieces by some of the greatest artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods: Michelangelo, Bramante and Bernini. An essential and unforgettable experience.

The collections of the Villa Borghese

The Borghese Gallery is one of Rome most prestigious museums. A Renaissance villa built in the heart of a magnificent park, it contains a world-class collection of statues, including some of Bernini’s most famous works, such as The Rape of Proserpina. The second floor is devoted to painting, and here we discover dramatic paintings by Caravaggio, as well as marvellous works by Raphael and Titian. Without doubt, this is one of the most memorable museums to see during a visit to Rome.

The Esquiline hill - About 1h30

This church is one the most important monuments in the history of the Catholic Church. It was built in the 4th century and was the first church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
