Travel

Site Visits

In order to offer the student a comprehensive understanding of the city of Rome, site visits are organized and included within the educational programs of the different courses. During the semester, there are various one-day tours to sites within the vicinity of Rome.

Traditionally we plan the following visits: Vatican Museum / Sistine Chapel / St. Peter’s, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Circus Maximus, Spanish Steps and many more!

Didactic Tours

Although the program is based in Rome, the Rome Center arranges several excursions which are considered part of the program and curriculum. These are day trips within the Lazio region. The excursions include transportation, entrance fees to museums and the participation of a Rome Center professor who leads the group.

Traditionally we plan the following visits

  • Hadrian’s Villa and Villa d'Este;
  • Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola and Villa Lante in Bagnaia;
