Experience one high-profile attraction in Rome after another beginning with the ruins of the Roman Forum and the ancient government buildings around it. Not far away, you will find the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater in antiquity. It opened in the 1st century with 100 days of games, gladiatorial combats and animal fights. Other highlights from that general time period include the Pantheon temple that emperor Hadrian completed and his mausoleum, known as Castel Sant’Angelo. The Trevi Fountain is just as iconic, whether from being the city’s largest baroque fountain or from being featured in movies such as “Roman Holiday.” You will also see several famed piazzas. A Bernini fountain with an Egyptian obelisk is at the center of the elegant Piazza Navona. The Piazza di Spagna offers the best bottom-up view of the Spanish Steps. Since their construction in the early 18th century, the wide travertine steps have been one of Rome’s most popular meeting places.
