LANDAUSFLÜGE

Bewundern Sie die üppige Landschaft mit historischen Städten, Bauernhöfen und prächtigen Palazzi. Sie fahren zum Albaner See, dem Kratersee eines erloschenen Vulkans, und zu der auf dem Hügel liegenden Stadt Castel Gandolfo. Dieses bezaubernde Örtchen hat sich um den päpstlichen Palast angesiedelt, denn hier haben die Päpste seit Jahrhunderten ihre Sommerresidenz. Genießen Sie einen Spaziergang durch den mittelalterlichen Ort und bestaunen Sie die Außenansicht des Palastes.

Sie fahren weiter durch die sanften Hügel von Roms Weinanbaugebiet und legen an einem Bauernhof eine Pause ein. Ein Mitglied der Familie wird Sie begrüßen und Ihnen das Gut zeigen. La Mamma höchstpersönlich zeigt Ihnen, wie man frische Pasta zubereitet und wenn Sie möchten, können Sie Ihr Geschick gleich selbst ausprobieren. Dann nehmen Sie zu einem hausgemachten, italienischen Mittagessen mit Weinen aus der Region Platz.

Eine Panoramafahrt führt Sie nach dem Mittagessen in Roms Zentrum. Lehnen Sie sich zurück und erleben Sie die Höhepunkte der Stadt – dazu gehört auch ein Zwischenstopp am Kolosseum. Sie besichtigen die Außenansichten des Kolosseums, Forum Romanum und weiteren Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt.

OVERVIEW

See icons that define Rome during several transformative time periods and come away with a deeper understanding of Italy's capital.

If you toss a coin in the fountain - ensuring a return to Rome according to legend - it will be collected later that day and donated to charity. Standing on the terrace overlooking the Roman Forum will offer a perspective of ancient times as this public space was used for events ranging from religious ceremonies to secular spectacles. Similarly, an outside look at the massive Colosseum will add insight, especially through the guide's enlightening commentary. The amphitheater held as many as 50,000 spectators that come to watch everything from gladiatorial games to public executions.
