Rome in 6 pieces

Ancient ruins, baroque fountains and the Vatican.

The Eternal City layers 3,000 years into a single walk — Colosseum to Trevi to St Peter's — between long lunches and gelato in the shade.

The Colosseum stands majestically amidst bustling Rome, an iconic remnant of ancient architecture.
