Itinerary
Rome is the capital and largest city of Italy, as well as the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center of the country. It has a history of over 2500 years and is a world-renowned historical and cultural city. It was the birthplace of the ancient Roman Empire and was nicknamed the “Eternal City” due to its long history of construction.
Visit the Spanish Square, Wishing Pool, Pantheon, Colosseum (exterior), and visit the ruins of ancient Rome.
Go to Sky City – the authentic version of “Sky City” inspired by Hayao Miyazaki in Bailu Riccio, Italy. Built 2500 years ago and located on the mountaintop, it is connected to the outside world only by a narrow and long bridge. From a distance, it looks like a castle in the air, hence it is called the “City of the Sky”. This city was abandoned for hundreds of years and is also known as the Ghost City. The inspiration of the famous animated film “City of Sky” produced by Hayao Miyazaki, the master of Anime, comes from this castle.
