Rome is such an exciting destination for school groups to visit, with religion, food and style so intrinsic to its culture. Walking through the city, it's impossible not to catch a glimpse of one of its 900 churches. It's easy for your students to imagine just what a profound impact the Catholic Church has had on the people of Rome and how religion has shaped the Roman way of life for thousands of years. Visit classic sites, world-famous landmarks and monuments, and collections of art unparalleled in any other city on earth.
We'll build you the best itinerary to suit your group, making sure you cover all the must-see attractions in one trip. Visit Vatican City and its museums to get a greater understanding of Roman Catholicism, explore the Colosseum and other classic sites like the Roman Forum to learn about the Roman Empire and cross off some sightseeing along the way with a photo stop at the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.
The impressive Colosseum is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman monuments and certainly one of the most recognisable. It was built to host 50,000 spectators and today your students can go inside and explore the site for themselves.
A trip to Palatine Hill is usually combined with a visit to to the Colosseum and Forum. It offers amazing views of Rome and was home to ancient figures such as Augustus, Cicero and Marc Antony.
The jaw-dropping Sistine Chapel is the most famous chapel in the world, not least because of its grandiose decorated interior. It's worth visiting just to see Italian master Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment" on the altar walls.
Within Vatican City, there is a complex of Christian art museums that display some of the most important collections of Roman sculptures and Renaissance-era masterpieces anywhere in the world. The works have been collected by popes throughout the centuries.
