Enjoy a tour that will include the most beautiful parts not only inside but outside as well like the Courtyard with its monumental sculptures made by different artists during different centuries – the same style as the courtyard itself which is a masterpiece within itself – late 15th-century early 16th-century Northern Renaissance style with perfect geometrical harmony between proportions creating sophisticated rhythm while playing light against shade simultaneously evoking a sense of feeling harmony living grace freedom – something we do not see often today anymore even if just looking back a couple of generations back can quickly notice the lack of such beauty tranquility simplicity nowadays everywhere around us due to our fast-paced industrialized globalized consumer-driven competitive self-centered materialistic society trying desperately to keep up with something constantly changing leaving behind a dust trail of destruction along the way.The list goes on! A journey through history awaits once more upon arrival at the last resting place of Emperor Hadrian—an impressive fortress built over the River Tiber in-between legendary cities on both sides bordering Italy peninsula making them easily accessible via either side meaning there’s no need to worry about time zone differences since both sites share the same Central European Time Zone CET making planning your trip even easier than ever before when distances mattered more importantly a quick overview about archaeological findings documenting centuries-old struggle between forces of nature human ingenuity due to topography quite a complex task might seem impractical to others whose limited knowledge and sole exposure to these wonders have been seen on television screen documentaries never actually visited themselves firsthand whether virtual reality headset telepresence robots would serve their purpose better proving this statement false turning the reader into a jaded cynic skeptic leaning towards disbelief assumption thereby effectively nullifying everything written herein!

Know before you go

• The ability of a person to walk steadily without difficulty is expected to be a fundamental element of his or her functioning. This means that those who are disabled or depend on wheelchairs have difficulties with walking.
• Based on certain circumstances, there are times when the Colosseum has to be shut down. If possible, we would like to make any necessary arrangements and inform you about these before your arrival. But sometimes it happens unexpectedly, and we have to reorganize things quickly, so there might be a few details that you learn only after your tour begins.
• Some of the places might require the use of masks or proof of vaccination upon entry. You should consider visiting the Italian government websites to obtain further information. The Vatican is located in Central Rome, and it takes about a 10-15 minute bus ride to get there to start the tour.
