| In order to get a feeling for the city, we offered a 3-hour tour of the city on Monday, June 6, from 14:00 to 17:00. You will be picked up by coach and an English-speaking guide from the Marriott Rome Park Hotel. Rome is a rich and wondrous city, full of secrets that hide many of her treasures. Walking has always been the way to discover those treasures, and so, today, we follow the age-old adage and we "do as the Romans do!“ With our expert guide we go off the beaten track to discover charming squares, beautiful fountains, ancient bridges, medieval quarters and architectural surprises. We stroll to the curious and picturesque Tiber island on the Tiber River, through the historic ghetto, and then, only minutes away, the unique Piazza Farnese to see the most splendid Renaissance palace in all Italy, one that Michelangelo himself decorated. Our next stop is the very elegant Piazza Navona with its 17th-century baroque trimmings. The fountains and churches and residential palaces, the artists and caricaturists and the sidewalk cafes make this square the theatre of Rome." We continue to the 1900-year-old Pantheon, a pagan temple built by Agrippa in 27 BC and redesigned by Emperor Hadrian in about 118 before reaching the Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in the city and the most beautiful in the world. A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. After the tour, you will be taken back to the Marriott Rome Park Hotel in time for our welcome reception in the exhibition. Fee: 53.25€ per person. Registration is available as part of our online event registration. | |
