Itinerary

Crossing the Piazza della Repubblica and viewing the Fountain of the Naiads, we follow via Nazionale to the Piazza Venezia, with the Monument to Victor Emanuel II, the "Vittoriano."

Then it's off to the Colosseum and the Arches of Constantine and Titus before walking through the Roman Forum. From the forum, we travel to the Capitoline Hill; from the piazza(designed by Michelangelo) there is an extraordinary view of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill.

It's a short walk to the Theater of Marcellus, where a bus goes to St. Paul's-outside-the-walls, a grand basilica to the south of the city where the apostle Paul is buried. From the basilica, buses return to hotels and the Vastours Terminal.
