With its basilicas, archaeological sites, and winding alleyways that open up into cozy squares, you will never cease to be amazed in Rome.

What sights are there in Rome?

Colosseum

Step into the most iconic arena of the ancient world. The Colosseum once hosted gladiator battles and spectacles for more than 50,000 roaring spectators. Completed in 80 AD, this architectural wonder brings ancient Rome vividly to life. Walk the underground chambers and upper tiers for a true sense of its scale—and its drama.More...

Pantheon

A miracle of Roman engineering, the Pantheon’s perfectly symmetrical design and soaring concrete dome have stood for nearly 2,000 years. Once a temple to all Roman gods, it is now a church and final resting place of artists like Raphael. The oculus at its center opens to the sky, illuminating the space in a soft, celestial glow.

Trevi Fountain

Toss a coin, make a wish, and promise to return. The Trevi Fountain is more than just a monument—it's a ritual. This baroque masterpiece bursts with movement, mythological figures, and water flowing from the ancient Aqua Virgo aqueduct. Visit early morning or after dark for a more intimate experience.

St. Peter’s Basilica

At the heart of Vatican City, St. Peter’s Basilica is an architectural and spiritual marvel. Marvel at Michelangelo’s Pietà, walk beneath the massive dome he designed, and stand in the center of the largest church in Christendom. Climb to the top for breathtaking views across Rome and Vatican Square.

Sistine Chapel

A quiet space with an unmatched ceiling, the Sistine Chapel is home to Michelangelo’s greatest masterpiece. His vibrant frescoes, from The Creation of Adam to the Last Judgment, are rich with color and complexity. Every inch of the chapel tells a story—make sure you look up and take your time.

Roman Forum

Wander through the ruins where the Roman Republic came to life. The Forum was the center of politics, religion, and daily affairs in ancient Rome. You’ll walk past remnants of basilicas, temples, and triumphal arches as you imagine life here 2,000 years ago. Pair your visit with Palatine Hill for a complete experience.

Palatine Hill

Overlooking the Roman Forum and Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill is where Rome was born—literally. According to legend, Romulus founded the city here. Explore the remains of imperial palaces and gardens, and enjoy some of the best panoramic views in all of Rome.

Piazza Navona

One of the most beautiful squares in Italy, Piazza Navona captures the elegance of baroque Rome. Built over an ancient stadium, it’s home to Bernini’s famed Fountain of the Four Rivers. Surrounded by palaces, street artists, and cafés, it’s the perfect place to sit with a coffee and watch the city move around you.

Castel Sant’Angelo

Originally built as Emperor Hadrian’s mausoleum, this riverside fortress has had many lives—as a castle, papal refuge, and now a museum. Climb to the terrace for panoramic views of the city and Tiber River. Inside, wander through centuries of artifacts, frescoes, and passages used by popes seeking sanctuary.

Capitoline Hill and Museums

Redesigned by Michelangelo, Capitoline Hill is one of Rome’s most historic locations. Its museums hold masterpieces like the Dying Gaul and Capitoline Wolf, alongside treasures from ancient temples and the early Republic. The surrounding square and terrace offer incredible views over the Forum.Less
