The experience
The first thing you notice is the light. Monuments that look ordinary by day turn golden once the lights come on, and the car carries you from one to the next in cool, air-conditioned comfort, with bottled water at hand. At the Colosseum you think of the Flavian Emperors, who built it in the first century after Christ to entertain citizens with gladiator combats. Then the Trevi Fountain appears, its water flowing in a spectacular display fed by a Roman aqueduct, where the old tradition says that whoever tosses a coin will return to Rome.
Next comes St. Peter's Square, so spacious that you can take in the beautiful façade of the Basilica without hurry. The Spanish Steps bring a change of pace, elegant and lively, a place artists and writers have long frequented. At the Pantheon, the dome is the highlight: the biggest concrete dome ever built in the world, rising over the most beautiful temple to survive from ancient times.
The evening ends on Janiculum Hill, the viewing place of Rome, where you can see the best known monuments and their surroundings in one sweep. Your photos from up there will look like a lovely postcard. Your guide explains every site along the way, so by the end you will finally understand what "Eternal Rome" means.
