4 Do you wonder what you can do or see in this city? The Colosseum The Colosseum The Trevi Fountain The Trevi Fountain The Pantheon The Pantheon The Gardens of the Villa Borghese

5 The Colosseum The Colosseum is a monument of epic proportions. Stories of gory battles between gladiators, slaves, prisoners and wild animals have emerged from this Flavian amphitheatre, which dates from AD 72.

6 The Trevi Fountain Tucked away in a tiny piazza and surrounded by jostling crowds, the fountains' creamy travertine gleams beneath torrents of water and camera flashes. It's a rococo extravaganza of rearing sea horses, conch-blowing Tritons and craggy rocks, erupting in front of the Palazzo Poli.
