Day 1: Explore Rome
Morning/Afternoon
Step off the plane and hop on the Terravision bus to your accommodation in Termini. Check into the hotel and make your way out to explore all of Rome’s must-sees. Marvel at the historic Trevi fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps.
Evening
Feast on a welcome dinner and come together for a trip briefing to get you prepped for the week’s adventures.
Day 2: The Colosseum and Michelangelo Statue
Morning
Stop off at a local Roman’s house. Learn about how mosaics were used in the past and make a mosaic souvenir for yourself!
Afternoon
Relax with a scenic lunch near the magnificent Colosseum. Squeeze in a visit to see the Michelangelo statue at the Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli, too. Enjoy a guided visit to the Colosseum and Roman Forum and take part in the Learning Adventure photo competition. There are so many interesting facts about these ancient sites – did you know the Colosseum was used to stage ‘naumachia’? They’d fill the theatre up with water and hold real naval battles.
Evening
After dinner, walk down the Via del Circo Massimo for beautiful views of the Palatine Hill before visiting the Garden of Oranges for superb views of the Vatican.
