Itinerary

The driver will be waiting for you in front of your vacation rental, apartment, or agreed location with the vintage Fiat 500 gleaming and ready. You can choose from different vintage Cinquecento models: classic red, elegant white, or pastel blue - all meticulously restored. The driver will welcome you, introduce you to the legendary car explaining its history and period features, and invite you to settle into the original leather seats. You will take a first commemorative photo in front of the Fiat 500 before setting off on the vintage adventure through Rome. The driver will explain the proposed itinerary but will be flexible to adapt it to your wishes.

The driver will steer the Cinquecento along Via dei Fori Imperiali with a spectacular view of the Colosseum, Rome's most iconic monument; an essential photo stop in front of the Flavian Amphitheater for the perfect shot: you in the vintage Fiat 500 with the Colosseum in the background - a postcard image that will make all your friends envious. The driver knows the best camera angles and will also take professional photos of you. You will pass by the Imperial Forums, the political heart of ancient Rome, and the Circus Maximus, the ancient chariot racing stadium that held 250,000 spectators.

Climb to Aventine Hill, one of Rome's seven hills - an aristocratic and tranquil neighborhood with elegant villas and orange-scented gardens. Stop at the famous Keyhole of the Knights of Malta Priory: peering through the keyhole you will see a perfectly framed view of the Dome of St. Peter's in the distance, a magical perspective created by architect Piranesi. Visit the Orange Garden (Parco Savello) for a romantic panorama over Rome with domes and rooftops stretching to the horizon. The Fiat 500 parked among the orange trees creates dream-worthy photos.

Descend to Trastevere, Rome's most authentic, bohemian, and photographed neighborhood. The little Fiat 500 moves nimbly through the narrow cobblestoned alleyways, impossible to navigate with modern cars. You will pass between colorful houses with laundry hanging out to dry, typical trattorias with outdoor tables, artisan workshops, and street art murals. The atmosphere of an Italian neorealist film. Stop at Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere with its early Christian basilica and central fountain, the beating heart of the neighborhood where Romans gather in the evening. The vintage Cinquecento among the cobblestones and colorful facades creates perfect vintage photos.

Climb to the Gianicolo, Rome's highest and most spectacular central viewpoint. You'll have a breathtaking 360-degree view over the Eternal City: the dome of St. Peter's, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon, the Altare della Patria, the entire historic center at your feet! The vintage Fiat 500 in the foreground with Rome in the background creates the most beautiful panoramic photo of your trip. Time for photos, selfies, and videos. The driver will point out all the visible monuments and share anecdotes about Rome's history. If the tour takes place at sunset, you will watch the city turn golden as the sun sets behind St. Peter's - a magical and deeply romantic moment.

Drive through the heart of the historic center along Rome's elegant shopping streets. Pass near Trevi Fountain (the Cinquecento stops nearby since the square is pedestrian-only) where you can briefly get out to toss a coin and take photos. Continue to Piazza della Rotonda to admire the Pantheon, the best-preserved Roman temple with the largest dome of the ancient world. Drive past the Spanish Steps with the famous Trinità dei Monti staircase and Bernini's Barcaccia fountain. The vintage Fiat 500 along the elegant streets of the historic center is an iconic image that captures the essence of the Roman Dolce Vita.
