Shore Excursion: Day Trip of the Ancient Rome from Civitavecchia Port

Disembark from your ship and meet your driver in the port of Civitavecchia at 9:00 am to drive to Rome.

The first stop is in front of St. Peter's Basilica, where you can admire the beauty of this center of world Catholicism. Traveling along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, named in honor of the last king of Italy, you will reach Piazza Navona (the former Stadium of Domitian). There, in addition to enjoying works of art by Bernini and Borromini, you can sample local specialties in the many bars and restaurants on the square.

Visit the Pantheon and then continue on to the Colosseum, where you'll go back in time walking towards the Arch of Constantine and Roman Forum.

From there the tour will go up on one of the seven hills where Rome was colonized (the Aventino hill) for a short stop in one of the most atmospheric parts of the city. Next, you'll go to the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, where you can see the famous Mouth of Truth. Moving on to Piazza Venezia, you can reach Piazza Colonna to see the column of Marco Aurelio. Sample delicious Italian gelato. Stop at the Trevi Fountain, where, of course, you can throw coins into the water as a good omen to return to Rome.

Moving next to Piazza di Spagna to see the famous Spanish Steps, you'll then travel to the final stop on the tour in Piazza del Popolo before being returned to Civitavecchia around 2:00-2:30 pm.

Please note: Guided tours inside St. Peter's Basilica and the Colosseum are not included.
