Believe me - with Polyglot, personal acquaintance with Rome in the "eternal city" will leave you a million times more impressed than a standard excursion with a guide in a mixed crowd of tourists; after all, you can explore everything at your leisure, at your own pace.
"Rome can replace everything for a time," wrote Ivan Turgenev. After all, it is the only city in the world that earned the title "Eternal City" as early as the 1st century BC. And also "City on Seven Hills", "Mother of Cities" - what names and epithets have not been bestowed upon it over almost three thousand years of existence. Time holds no power over it. Its winding streets, ancient temples, cobbled streets, and majestic monuments still preserve legends of a heroic past…
Rome is full of attractions, and Polyglot will undoubtedly not overlook classic landmarks, picturesque ancient ruins, exquisite baroque palaces, and legendary basilicas, famous fountains and squares. But with Polyglot, you will also get to little-known unusual places that are interesting, including those that not everyone knows about. For example, a walk from the historic center between the hills of Pincio and Celio will appeal not only to connoisseurs of art but also to nature lovers.
Moreover, there is a fascinating keyhole in Rome through which you can see three states: Italy itself, the tiny enclave state, the residence of the supreme spiritual leadership of the Roman Catholic Church, Vatican, and the smallest state in the world - the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (Most of it is located in Rome in just two buildings - the Magistral Villa on Aventine and the Magistral Palace on Via dei Condotti). This "panoramic" peephole was invented by architect Piranesi in the 18th century. He implemented his idea in a massive door on the Malta Piazza. Romans simply call this amazing hole "The Keyhole" (Il buco della serratura) or Buco di Roma. To see it, one must reach the beautiful Aventine Hill.
