The Leonardo Express is the fastest way to reach the city center. Enjoy the transition from coastal plains to the urban sprawl of Rome.
32 min journey.
Monti is Rome's first ward, a bohemian maze of ivy-clad streets and artisan workshops. It’s the perfect base for a weekend explorer.
15 min walk.
A downhill stroll towards the world's most famous amphitheater. The scale of the ruins appearing between buildings is breathtaking.
The ultimate symbol of Roman engineering. While the interior is grand, the exterior reveals the "skeleton" of the arena where 50,000 spectators once roared. The Colosseum was once covered in marble and decorated with 160 bronze statues.
Exterior viewing is free. Easter Egg: Look for the small holes in the stones; they were made by medieval looters to steal the iron clamps holding the blocks together.
A massive white marble monument often called the "Wedding Cake." It offers a commanding view of the city's chaotic traffic and ancient heart. It houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, guarded 24/7 by two sentinels.
A hidden Art Nouveau masterpiece. This private courtyard is covered in frescoes celebrating "The Virtues of Women" in stunning Liberty style. It was built to connect the offices of a wealthy newspaper owner in the 1880s.
The pinnacle of Baroque theatricality. Water gushes from the rocks beneath Neptune’s feet into a basin that holds roughly $1.5 million in tossed coins annually. The fountain is built at the terminus of an ancient aqueduct that still functions today.
End your night at Rome's most elegant square, built over an ancient stadium. The fountains by Bernini look ethereal under the night lights. The Pantheon’s dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome, 2000 years later.
