Our first stop will be Vatican City!
Vatican City is a landlocked, sovereign state which is entirely surrounded by Rome.
We will be stopping by St. Peter's Basilica, which has the largest interior of any church in the world. It is regarded as one of the holiest sites by Roman Catholics, and is a popular site for Catholic pilgrimages.
We will then proceed to the Colosseum in Rome, formerly known as the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is considered one of the greatest products of Roman engineering and architecture.
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles like re-enacted sea battles, hunts, executions, and dramas.
Over the years it has been partially ruined by earthquakes, but it still remains an iconic symbol of Rome.
We will also see the Trevi Fountain. Standing at 26 metres high and 20 metres wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous in the world.
The Spanish Steps are also found in Rome, Italy. These steps climb a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and the Piazza Trinita dei Monti.
The 138 steps are commonly used on special occasions for several purposes. During the Christmas period a 19th-century crib is displayed on the stairs, and it is also used as a venue for a flower market. People ate forbidden to stop by the steps for their meals, but these steps are still almost always crowded.
