You can reach the top of the Vittoriano either via the stairs or the panoramic elevator (for the latter, you must purchase a ticket); the view from <\/span><b>the terrace at the top is breathtaking.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Remember that it is forbidden to sit on the steps and this is strictly enforced. <\/span><b>The Vittoriano is open every day from 9.30 am to 7.30 pm <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the last entrance is at 6.45 pm.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing of the guard at the <\/span><b>Tomb of the Unknown Soldier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> takes place every hour.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Descend the stairs, and in the vicinity of the Vittoriano, on your right, admire the <\/span><b>Trajan Column <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with its engravings depicting the military victories of the Emperor Trajan.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remind you that several streets, such as<\/span><b> Via Del Corso,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> start from the square, allowing you to reach the city\u2019s main tourist attractions. Still, it\u2019s getting close to dinner time, and if you want to take another little break before your next destination, here\u2019s our guide to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/en\/italian-food\/where-to-have-brunch-in-rome\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best brunches in and around central Rome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"bocca\"><\/a>&nbsp;The Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verit\u00e0) and the Circus Maximus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now you could go to the Circus Maximus!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use public transport, <\/span><b>take tram no. 628 or 160 from Piazza Venezia,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and in less than 10 minutes, you will reach your destination.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to take the <\/span><b>subway instead<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, go back to the Colosseum metro station and <\/span><b>get off at the Circo Massimo stop.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You can reach it on foot in less than 20 minutes, and I recommend it because you can admire other monuments of Imperial Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready? Walk<\/span><b> from Piazza Venezia via Del Teatro Marcello<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and on your right, you will find Teatro Marcello.

Here you can have a truly unique experience:<\/span><b> insert your hand into the Mouth of Truth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an ancient marble mask built into the wall of the portico of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin. Legend has it that he could <\/span><b>bite the hand of anyone who said the falsehood<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and put it in his mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After this experience, <\/span><b>continue on Via Della Greca<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and you finally arrive at the Circus Maximus.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span><b> Circus Maximus is the largest spectator structure of antiquity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and one of the largest of all time. It has a length of 600 meters and a width of 140 meters, and legend links it to the very origins of the city: this is where the mythical episode of the <\/span><b>Rape of the Sabine Women took place<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the games convened by Romulus in honor of the god Consus. Today it is home to numerous events and concerts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Caracalla\"><\/a>Baths of Caracalla<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Baths of Caracalla in Rome, <\/span><b>constructed between AD 212 and 217<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under the reign of Emperor Caracalla, are among the most magnificent examples of <\/span><b>ancient Roman public baths, or thermae<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that have survived to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprawling over<\/span><b> approximately 33 acres,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this grand complex was not just a place for bathing but a multifunctional leisure center that included libraries, lecture rooms, gymnasiums, and gardens, reflecting the sophisticated social and cultural life of ancient Rome. The baths could accommodate over <\/span><b>1,600 bathers simultaneously<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, offering hot, tepid, and cold baths, along with steam rooms and saunas, showcasing Roman engineering prowess through its advanced heating and plumbing systems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>elaborate mosaics, sculptures, and columns <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that once adorned its halls have significantly influenced Renaissance and modern architects. Although now in ruins, the Baths of Caracalla still captivate visitors with their sheer scale and the glimpse they offer into the daily life and architectural ingenuity of ancient Rome.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pyramid of Caius Cestius<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pyramid of Caius Cestius is an <\/span><b>ancient pyramid in Rome<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a unique testament to the <\/span><b>Roman fascination with Egyptian culture. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built between 18-12 BCE as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a Roman magistrate and member of one of the religious corporations in Rome, the pyramid stands out for its distinctive shape amidst the city&#8217;s classical ruins.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Located near the Porta San Paolo and the Protestant Cemetery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it is constructed of brick-faced concrete covered with white <\/span><b>Carrara marble<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, measuring about 100 Roman feet (approximately 30 meters) square at the base and standing 125 Roman feet (approximately 37 meters) high. The interior houses a burial chamber, which was originally adorned with frescoes. Although smaller than the great pyramids of Egypt, the Pyramid of Caius Cestius is a <\/span><b>fascinating example of the spread of Egyptian influence into Roman culture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and remains one of the best-preserved ancient buildings in Rome, offering a glimpse into the eclectic architectural styles that flourished in the city during the first century BCE.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The end of this first day has come and, to close the evening, we recommend a visit to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/en\/italian-food\/jewish-ghetto-in-rome-what-to-see-and-where-to-eat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish Ghetto of Rome where you can take a walk and stop for dinner<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"roma2\"><\/a>2ND DAY IN ROME<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Itinerary<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have recovered some of the energy expended in the first 24 hours, you should be aware that, on this second day of the tour, you will need even more!

This allows you to cover the essential sights without rushing and to soak in the city&#8217;s atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you&#8217;re<\/span><b> passionate about art, history,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or want to discover Rome&#8217;s lesser-known gems, extending your stay to <\/span><b>a week would be beneficial<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This longer duration enables deeper exploration, such as visiting its many museums at a leisurely pace, wandering through the different neighborhoods like Trastevere and Monti, and perhaps taking a day trip to nearby sites like Ostia Antica or Tivoli.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rome is a city rich in layers of history, where even a short walk can reveal wonders from different epochs.
