3. Drive through the historic city center and see Piazza Colonna with the magnificent Column of Marcus Aurelius, one of only 2 preserved triumphal columns in the city and is 1800 years old!
4. Stop at the Trevi Fountain and throw in a coin... or three! Possibly the most famous fountain in the world, after it appeared in Roman Holiday, the Trevi Fountain is designed by architect Nicolo Salvi its name derives from its predecessor Aqua Virgo, which was constructed by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC.
5. Admire the famed Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna. The 138 steps were originally built to link the Spanish embassy to the Holy See at the base, to the church of Trinità dei Monti at the top.
6. Reach Piazza del Popolo the northern gateway of the city. This was the starting point of the Via Flaminia, the road to Ariminum (modern-day Rimini) and the most important route to the north.
7. Drive past the Mausoleum of Augustus. The Mausoleum of Augustus (Italian: Mausoleo di Augusto) is a large tomb built by the Roman Emperor Augustus in 28 BC on the Campus Martius in Rome, Italy.
8. Take in the magnificent Piazza Navona. Piazza Navona is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in the 1st century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium. The ancient Romans went there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as "Circus Agonalis" ("competition arena"). It is believed that over time the name changed to in avone to navone and eventually to navona.
9. Drive through Rome's historic center cobblestone streets. The We will drive along via Giulia, a street of historical and architectural importance in Rome, which is about 1 kilometer long and connects the Regola and Ponte Rioni
10. See the ancient Roman temples of Largo di Torre Argentina. Between 1926 and 1929, the demolition of an old neighborhood within Via del Teatro Argentina, Via Florida, Via San Nicola de 'Cesarini, and Corso Vittorio Emanuele II for the construction of new buildings, unexpectedly brought to light one of the most important archaeological sites of the city: a large paved square with the remains of four temples from the Republican era.
11. Brief Stop in front of the Campidoglio grand staircase. The first square to be built following Michelangelo’s criteria of a uniform design, in modern Rome, stands on Capitoline Hill (Capitolium), where a very ancient village was located and where numerous temples were dedicated to Roman gods.
12. Take in Piazza Venezia with the impressive monument to Victor Emmanuel II, known as the Altar of the Fatherland. The square takes its name from Palazzo Venezia, the 15th-century Palace built by Cardinal Pietro Barbo, then donated in 1560 by Pius IV to the Republic of Venice to make it the seat of the embassy.
13. Drive through the charming Monti Neighborhood. Rione Monti, Rome’s first ward (rione). The neighborhood for the cool and young, the old and vintage. For those who want a serving of cobblestone, antiques and artisans, with a side order of beauty, great food and some of the bars in Rome.
