Excursion from Civitavecchia to Rome: Vatican, Colosseum, Roman Forum + Lunch

Your private driver will wait for you where the ship disembarks and will drive you to visit the best attractions in Roma: Vatican Museums, Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill.

Your private driver will take you to the Vatican Museums, you will meet your guide and, thanks to our ‘skip the line’ ticket, you will avoid the long museum queues The Vatican Museums are considered among the most beautiful museum complexes in the world. Endowed with one of the finest art collections on the planet, they are rich in priceless works of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Etruscan antiquity and house a valuable collection of paintings, ranging from the 12th to the 19th century, with works by Raphael, Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci. The museums also include some beautifully frescoed rooms: Raphael's Rooms, four rooms decorated by Raphael; the picture gallery with paintings by Giotto, Leonardo, Caravaggio and Bellini; classical art sculptures and masterpieces by Bernini; tapestries and mosaics; and the famous Sistine Chapel, which Michelangelo's extraordinary genius made into one of the world's most famous artistic treasures, visited by 20,000 visitors every day.

After lunch, your private driver will take you to the Colosseum. Known as Flavian Amphitheatre, the Colosseum is one of the capital's most remarkable monument. It is an imposing construction that, with almost 2,000 years of history, will bring you back in time to discover the way of life in the Roman Empire. During that period, the Colosseum allowed more than 50,000 people to enjoy its finest spectacles. The exhibitions of exotic animals, execution of prisoners, recreations of battles and gladiator fights kept Roman people entertained for years.

After the Colosseum, you will visit an impressive sprawl of ruins, the Roman Forum. It was ancient Rome's showpiece centre, a grandiose district of temples, basilicas and vibrant public spaces. The site, originally a marshy burial ground, was first developed in the 7th century BC, growing over time to become the social, political and commercial hub of the Roman empire. Signature sights include the Arch of Septimius Severus, the Curia, the Temple of Saturn and the Arch of Titus.

Located 40 meters above the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill is the most central of seven hills of Rome. In the Palatine Hill, you can see hundreds of ruins of the imposing buildings that were created for high Roman society in ancient. For a fresh perspective on Rome and its history, there’s no better place than the Palatine!

Your private driver will take you back to the port in time for your boarding ship.
