Vatican City

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

One of ancient Rome’s greatest achievements combines momentous history and inspired architecture.

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

A monumental stairway with a monumental past, the Spanish Steps are literally and figuratively at the heart of Rome.

The old papal buildings have altered little over the centuries, but still act as an open-air hub for cafés and street entertainers.

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