ROCS Guided Holidays Bella Roma 2024

DAY 1 MALTA - ROME

Meet the Tour Leader at Malta International Airport for your flight to Rome. Proceed to a City tour of Rome visiting Republic Square, Barberini Square, Veneto Street, Villa Borghese, Ripetta Street, Mausoleo di Augusto, Pietra and Parliamento Square. Later proceed to The Catacombs which are spread over 17 kilometres of underground caves, some of which are inaccessible. They are laid out on four levels – one on top of another. The catacombs of the Eternal City offer one of the most complete and eloquent pictures of the Christian community in Imperial Rome, and of Catholicism in the city between the 2nd and 9th centuries. Until the 2nd century, in fact, the early Christians didn’t have their own cemeteries but were buried alongside the pagans in communal burial grounds outside the city along the main consular roads. The Apostle Peter was buried on the Vatican Hill and St. Paul along the road to Ostia. Transfer to your 4* La Griffe Hotel.
