｜ Recommended Attractions
01 Trevi Fountain
One of Rome’s landmarks featured in many films like "Roman Holiday," the Trevi Fountain is the largest baroque fountain in Rome. Visitors often toss coins into the fountain, believing that it grants wishes or ensures a return visit to Rome. The coins thrown are used for the restoration and preservation of Rome’s cultural heritage, so why not make a wish at the Trevi Fountain?
02 Roman Forum
Located in the heart of ancient Rome, the Roman Forum was the center of politics, economics, and religion during the Roman Empire. Although now in ruins with only a few remnants of columns and debris, the site still vividly reflects the grandeur of the Roman Empire. The view from the Palatine Hill is breathtaking, so grab a gelato and take a stroll up the hill for a beautiful panorama.
03 Vatican City
The smallest independent city-state in the world, Vatican City is located within Rome. Despite its small size, it houses the renowned Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s famous ceiling frescoes, and St. Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world. It’s always crowded with tourists, so planning your visit carefully is essential.
