Venture into the historically and culturally rich city of Rome for an exciting vacation in Italy. One of the world’s greatest art collections can be found in this great city via the Vatican Museums. Stroll along a total of 7 kilometers of halls with various works of art, where one of the features is the work of Michelangelo at the Sistine Chapel. The Capitoline Museum, first founded in 1471, is the oldest public museum in the world and will blow your mind with a permanent collection of crowd-pleasers like the famous Lupa capitolina. Explore a true treasure trove at the Muzeum Nazaionale Romano Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, which is home to gorgeous collections of classical art like a Greek piece in bronze from the second century BC.
There’s no way you can go to Rome and miss out on visiting the Pantheon, a 200-year-old temple and one of the best preserved ancient Roman monuments. Alongside the Pantheon is the impressive and massive gladiatorial arena, the Colosseum. Established in 80 AD, the Colosseum is arguably one of the most thrilling sites in the city and will certainly leave you awe inspired. Of course, not to be missed either are the sprawling ruins of the Roman Forum, a grand district with various temples, basilicas, and other public areas of ancient Rome.
