The route
Where it stops
Each stop is free to stand in front of, whatever the tour costs.
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome, wedged into the side of a palazzo at the end of a narrow street. Free, always accessible, and always crowded.
Pantheon
The Pantheon is the best-preserved building from ancient Rome, nearly two thousand years old, and entry is free. The unreinforced concrete dome is still the largest of its kind, with the oculus at its center open to the sky.
Piazza Navona
Piazza Navona is Rome's most theatrical public square, built on the footprint of a 1st-century stadium. Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers anchors the center, flanked by two smaller fountains and ringed by Baroque facades.
Everything else Rome costs.
