More Rome Experiences

An abundance of sketching and photography opportunities, and a strong historical influence, make Rome the ideal setting to inspire your group.

St Peter’s Basilica

This is the most prominent building inside the Vatican City, its dome being a dominant feature of the Roman skyline. Papal ceremonies take place here due to its size, proximity to the Papal residence, and location within the Vatican City walls.

Trevi Fountain

Take your students to throw two coins into the fountain, standing with their back to it: one for a happy return, the second for the fulfilment of a wish!

Colosseum

This, the largest monument of Ancient Rome, seated more than 50,000 spectators in its day. Your students will see the location where fights between men and beasts, gladiatorial contests, races and simulated naval battles took place.

Roman Forum

Take your group to witness the civic and political heart of the Roman Empire, a site which now holds the remains of many temples and public buildings.
