Rick Steves' Rome

54m 59s

Rick Steves explores the "Eternal City" of Rome, a grand and ancient metropolis rich with exquisite art, vibrant culture and centuries of history. Rick traces the rise and fall of classical Rome, meanders through the heart of Bernini's Baroque Rome and makes a pilgrimage to the Vatican. He uncovers the charms of hidden neighborhoods, enjoys a Roman feast, and mingles with the locals.
