Colosseum
A true architectural heavyweight, the 2,000-year-old Colosseum is often considered one of the seven “modern” wonders of the world.

Rome is a city abundant in world-class water features, but none more stunning, or more famous, than the Trevi Fountain.
Spanish Steps

Vatican Museums
Forget the Louvre, the Met or the Hermitage, some of the world’s greatest collections of art can be found in the Vatican Museums.
