Breve itinerario a Roma

Questo breve itinerario copre i luoghi imprescindibili del centro storico e del Vaticano, combinando monumenti antichi, capolavori artistici e piazze vivaci. Inizia dal Colosseo e dal Foro Romano per immergerti nella storia antica, poi visita il Pantheon e passeggia tra le strade barocche fino a Piazza Navona e alla Fontana di Trevi. Dedica mezza giornata ai Musei Vaticani e a San Pietro per ammirare la Sistina e le opere più famose dell’arte occidentale. Non perdere una sosta a Castel Sant'Angelo per le viste sul Tevere e una visita alla Galleria Borghese per sculture e dipinti di livello mondiale. Con un budget flessibile, puoi aggiungere tour guidati o salta-fila per ottimizzare i tempi e includere esperienze gastronomiche gourmet alla sera.
