Why this trip
Anyone who walks along the Via Sacra in Rome stands on the ground over which triumphal processions passed two thousand years ago. The Roman Forum and the Colosseum lie so close together that you see both in one morning, and yet each demands its own attention. Rome is a destination for travellers who want to celebrate an occasion in a city with weight. The Pantheon surprises with its dome and the circle of light that moves across the floor.
Castel Sant'Angelo on the Tiber invites a look over the roofs, and anyone who stands there in the evening sees the city in golden light. Admissions to the big sites are often limited, so reservation is one of the first steps. April to June and September to October are the favourable times. The flight time is about one to one and a half hours, which allows short stays.
As accommodation, the Hotel Maalot and the St. Regis Rome come into question. Venice lies within reach as a neighbouring destination. Precisely because the trip is short, it is worth not filling it.
In the video call Once in a Lifetime helps you build an itinerary with a few strong stops.
