Your Itinerary
Scala Santa and Chapel of San Lorenzo
According to an ancient Christian tradition, Saint Helena (†335), the mother of Constantine, had the stairs transported from Pontius Pilate’s palace in Jerusalem to Rome.
Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore
The Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major reigns as an authentic jewel in the crown of Roman churches. Its beautiful treasures are of inestimable value, and represent the Church's role as the cradle of Christian artistic civilization in Rome.
Catacombe San Sebastiano
The catacombs originated in Rome between the end of the second and the beginning of the third centuries. Admission Included.
Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura
The place where Christians venerated the memory of Saint Paul the Apostle, beheaded under Nero around 65-67 A.D. Above his grave, located along the Ostiense Way, Emperor Constantine built a Basilica.
Campo de' Fiori
Lunch Time: Lunch included only on Private Tour Option in a typical Roman Restaurant.
St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter’s Basilica (if and when open): The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican is the papal enclave within the city of Rome. St. Peter’s Basilica is a working church – the largest in the world – and is therefore free to enter. It’s inside the borders of Vatican City but the public are allowed just walk into it from Rome’s streets. Lines to get in to Michelangelo’s famous basilica, which snake round the grand cloisters around the outside of the square, can be extremely long, and though they move fast can appear rather daunting.
