WHAT TO DO ON YOUR ROME VACATION

Sightseeing: Ancient Roman sites include the Coloseum, Trajan’s Market, the Palatine Hill, the Imperial Forum, the Pantheon, Nero’s Palace and the Appian Way. Visit Vatican City to tour St. Peter’s Basilica, schedule an audience with the Pope, tour the incredible holdings of the Vatican Museums, including the Raphael rooms and the dazzling Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo’s most famous frescoes. The city’s other major basilicas also beckon: St. Paul’s, Santa Maria Maggiore and San Giovanni in Laterano; nearby, pilgrims climb the Sacred Steps, said to be the ones Christ climbed. Around town, churches range from Medieval to Baroque, an incredible collection of sacred art and architecture. Explore the endless museums, from the Capitoline Museums to the Villa Borghese, the Vatican Museums to the Castel Sant’Angelo. Stroll through some of Rome’s most famous squares and linger before its beautiful fountains: The Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, the Piazza del Popolo to name just a few. Day trips: Just outside the city you can visit the Catacombes. On easy daytrips you can explore the Ancient Roman port town of Ostia Antica or visit old Ancient Roman villa in lovely Tivoli. Relax on the beach in Lido di Ostia. Or take more ambitious excursions to Naples and Pompeii!

Off-the beaten track treasures that can’t be beat: Linger over a cappuccino or window shop in the charming old Trastevere. Explore the historic Jewish ghetto. Stroll along the Tiber River or among the Umbrella pines of the ancient Aventino Park grounds. Picnic in the Borghese Gardens. Smaller museums showcase Etruscan and Roman artifacts, modern art, Roman history and the art of specific eras. Shop for produce at the morning market in Campo dei Fiori.

Here's what our customers say about how much there is to do in Rome:

"We loved Rome. We enjoyed some of the recommended restaurants. Marilina gave us some good recommendations on combinations of sites for daily sightseeing. We liked the location of the apartment (especially all the little shops on our street) amd Nicolo was very accommodating. All in all, it was a wonderful trip... We will definitely do more Untours trips." Mary Lynn Ferry

"Marilina Noto is excellent and readily available for questions. Her tour of the Vatican was very informative. She was very complete in all her information regarding aspects of the Untour experience...We really appreciated having a ride to and from the airport. We could have handled it ourselves, but it was wonderful not having to think about it at all." Vivian & Robert Santibanez

"We liked having Untours get us a nice apartment, drive us to and from the airport, have a local contact we could rely on, getting us to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel, good ground transportation and having a well-stocked apartment waiting for us.” William & Marilyn Dudrow
