Day 1: Take to 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’s Tourism & the River Tiber’s Forces of Water
Morning
You’ve seen the photos – now it’s time to live it. Go on a guided visit to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and take part in a tourism survey. 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.
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. Walk off lunch with a stroll along the River Tiber. On your way, collect geography fieldwork evidence of erosion, transport and deposition.
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.
