Step into the heart of Catholicism with a visit to Vatican City, the world’s smallest country and spiritual centre of the Roman Catholic Church. Students will explore the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, marvel at the artistic treasures of the Vatican Museums, and witness Michelangelo’s breathtaking masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. It’s a profound and unforgettable experience, rich in religious symbolism, history and art.

Visit two of Rome’s most important churches after St. Peter’s — the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the official cathedral of the Pope, and the Basilica of St. Mary Major, dedicated to the Virgin Mary and filled with early Christian mosaics. These sacred spaces give students a deeper understanding of Church authority, religious art and the development of Christian worship in the Western world.

Journey underground into the Catacombs, where early Christians worshipped, buried their dead, and expressed their faith in secret during times of persecution. With intricate frescoes, symbols and ancient inscriptions, the catacombs offer a moving insight into the lives and beliefs of the early Church, making history and theology feel immediate and real.

Explore the history of Judaism in Rome with a visit to the city’s historic Jewish Ghetto and the Great Synagogue Museum. Students will learn about the struggles, resilience and cultural contributions of Rome’s Jewish community, gaining valuable context for interfaith dialogue and a deeper understanding of religious tolerance and coexistence.

Take in some of Rome’s most famous landmarks — the ancient Pantheon, originally a Roman temple later converted into a Christian church; the iconic Trevi Fountain, where tradition invites visitors to toss a coin and wish for return; and the lively Spanish Steps, a classic gathering spot in the Eternal City. These stops offer cultural context, stunning architecture and a lighter way to end the day’s discoveries.
Staying in central Rome means your group is within walking distance of some of the most significant religious and cultural sites in the world, providing a truly immersive experience.

School groups stay in centrally located 3* and 4* hotels such as Hotel Noto or Hotel San Giovanni, offering safe, comfortable accommodation with easy access to both religious and cultural landmarks throughout the Eternal City.
