This amazing archeological site offers a rare glimpse into ancient Roman life – an immersive travel experience unlike any other in the world.
Spanish Steps (Rome): This elegant yet lively square is a popular attraction located in the very heart of Rome. The steps themselves are made up of 12 flights that lead to the beautiful Franciscan Church of Trinita dei Monti. Surrounding the square are 18th-century buildings and the shops of high-end fashion brands offering plenty to see as you wander around the area.
Canals and Bridges of Venice, Italy: Floating in a gondola down Venice’s Grand Canal is perhaps one of the most romantic travel dreams out there. Whether you choose to take that iconic ride or simply wander along the picturesque bridges that crisscross the waterways, there’s no wrong way to experience the city. Be sure to visit the famous Bridge of Sighs that connects Doge’s Palace with the old prison, and the Rialto Bridge, the beautiful main pedestrian crossing over the Grand Canal.
