0115 9404 303School Art trip to Rome
A visit to Rome is a step back in time from the giant that is the Colosseum, one of Rome’s great architectural achievements to the feeling of centuries of turbulent history under your feet. A visit to the Eternal City is not complete without experiencing the opulence of the Vatican with its vast museums, dark tombs and of course Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel where you can gaze upon one of the most renowned artworks of the high Renaissance. Another must see is The Trevi Fountain, the most famous and beautiful in all of Rome and the throwing of your Euros will ensure you will once again return.

Suggested Activities
Sample Itinerary
Example AccommodationColosseum (Flavian Amphitheatre)
Echoing the giant stadiums of today, the Colosseum is the largest amphitheatre ever built by the Romans. Built by the Emperor Vespasian at the end of the first century AD, it could accommodate as many as 87,000 spectators, who gathered for a peculiarly bloody form of Roman entertainment, as gladiators fought wild animals, and each other, to the death.
St. Peter's Basilica
St. Peter's draws pilgrims and tourists alike from all over the world. This vast sixteenth-century Italian renaissance cathedral replaced an earlier structure dating from the fourth century - it's still the world's largest religious building.

Pantheon
