More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the cruise ship into the brisk Mediterranean air of Civitavecchia and the city of Rome seems to pull you forward like a story with a strong opening. In a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle you cross the coastal plain, arriving at Saint Peter’s Square where Bernini’s colonnade seems to reach out and shepherd visitors toward the basilica. From there the day unfolds in quick, vivid chapters: a courtyard view of the Pantheon’s oculus, the roar of history at the Colosseum’s outer walls, the baroque choreography of Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona.
