You can spend an entire day exploring the treasures of the Vatican City, including Renaissance-era architecture and beautiful ceiling frescoes. It’s also home to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, famous for its incredible ceiling artwork painted by Michelangelo.

Hang out at the Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain, where it's tradition to throw in two coins over your left shoulder. Can’t get enough of the city’s history? Explore ancient Rome with a walk through the Roman Forum.

Tickle your taste buds with an authentic Italian cooking class, where you’ll use local ingredients to gain insight on an important piece of Italian culture, their food. Don’t miss out on indulging in Rome’s culinary delights, as pile-high plates of pasta, freshly brewed espressos and dollops of sweet gelato are on every corner.
