Rome
Cradle of Western civilisation and Christian culture
Days seven and eight are all about immersing yourself in the city of Rome, beginning with your luxurious accommodation at Hotel de Russie Rome, a Rocco Forte Hotel.

And if that is not enough Rome for you, then day eight will certainly impress! You will begin with a private transfer from your hotel to the infamous Colosseum and Roman Forum where you will enjoy a private tour, learn some interesting facts, and engross yourself in the fascinating history of this site.
