During the summer months, this excursion permits us to leave the Capital and spend some time with The Pope at his summer residence.

Leaving Rome we pass by the enormous ruins of the Terme di Caracalla before taking the Ancient Appian Way and passing the Chapel of "Domine Quo Vadis?". The tour will then proceed through the characteristic hills to the south of Rome, many of which are of volcanic origin. The area known as the `Colli Albani' houses many picturesque villages such as Frascati with the splendid Villa Aldobrandini, Nemi, Genzano and Ariccia. The Pope's summer residence is very near the volcanic lake of Albano and the Papal Blessing will take place in the square facing the Papal palace of Castelgandolfo. At the end of the blessing return to Rome and to, or nearby your hotel.
