ISTANBUL – ROME – (Rome Icons and Vatican Tour)
After completing your baggage check-in, ticket, and passport control procedures at Istanbul Airport International Terminal 3 hours before departure, we fly to Rome on Turkish Airlines flight TK1861 at 09:10. Arriving at Rome Fiumicino Airport at 09:50 local time, we proceed to the city center with our private vehicle and begin our panoramic city tour of Rome. During our city tour in Rome, we will see the Pyramid of Cestius, a white marble structure standing 37 meters high, the Via Cristoforo Colombo which is one of the widest and longest boulevards in Rome, the magnificent Terme di Caracalla (Caracalla Baths), Circo Massimo, the largest hippodrome in Rome that now hosts concerts and events, Tiber Island known for its healing tradition, and the colorful neighborhood of Trastevere which brings the medieval atmosphere to the present day. After the city tour, during the free time offered, our guests may choose to participate in the optional Rome Icons and Vatican Tour (70 Euro). The tour will begin with Castel Sant'Angelo – the Castle of the Angels and the Navona Square, and we will visit the Vatican / St. Peter's, the center of the Catholic branch of Christianity and the smallest country in the world in terms of area. St. Peter’s Square, where thousands of Catholics gather for worship and during special occasions the Pope greets the public from his residence, and the Basilica of St. Peter, which has 140 statues of saints and is the largest cathedral in the world, will be available for free time. Guests who wish may visit the cathedral part “free of charge” depending on availability. After the free time, we continue our historical journey through the Rome Icons filled with art, history, music, shopping, sun, and food. The works of architects competing to showcase their creations attract thousands of tourists every season, while Rome can accommodate this crowd without overwhelming the visitor with its beauty and aesthetics. During our tour in the imperial city of Rome, which has witnessed 23 centuries of history and shaped European civilization, we will visit the iconic Colosseum, a symbol of the city and host of gladiator battles during the Roman Empire, the Roman Forum, the political center during the imperial times, the Trevi Fountain, where it is believed that tossing a coin into it ensures your return to Rome, the famous Spanish Steps with street performers, and the Piazza Pietra and Piazza Popolo.
