Darby Rome Trip

Modern and old, past and present go side-by-side in Rome, a city rich with history and culture. Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world and is an absolute must-see while in Italy.

Rome wasn't built in a day so you won't be able to see it all in one, but you can certainly try! In Rome Express you will be free to explore the historic city on your own. You get to choose which sites to visit and tours to take so you can do as much — or as little — as you please! This trip is a great way to get a taste of Rome.

Here's some of what you can enjoy:

• St. Peter’s Basilica
  The largest church in the world, this great building with Michelangelo’s impressive dome is the center of Christianity.
• Vatican Museum
  This museum complex houses one of the world’s most important collections brought together by popes over a period of four centuries, with the famous Sistine Chapel.
• Coliseum
  Probably the most famous building of the Roman Empire, it accommodated more than 55.000 spectators and was home to many games featuring gladiators and wild animals.
• Circus Maximus
  It was an area specially built for the wildly popular chariot races. The largest stadium in ancient Rome, it had a seating capacity of over 250,000 people.
• Trevi Fountain
  The most famous fountain in all of Rome. It is said that if you throw a coin into this fountain, you will eventually return to Rome.
• Piazza Navona
  The long Navona square follows the oval shape of the former Domitian stadium. It contains three beautiful and famous fountains built during the 16th and 17th century.
