Atlantic to the Mediterranean

The last hop east. Three thousand years, stacked, and the best street food of the trip.

23 days

Camino & Sacred Europe

South to the city everything else was measured against, and the necropolis under the basilica.

15 days

The Classical Mediterranean

The obvious beginning, and still the right one.

18 days

The Mediterranean Arc

Inland briefly, because it would be absurd not to.

21 days

Arctic to Mediterranean

South through Italy to the city everything else was measured against.

34 days

Roman Europe

The Pantheon's dome: still the largest unreinforced concrete span ever built.

Theme

Renaissance Europe

Where the popes outspent the bankers, and Michelangelo worked for both.

Theme

The Grand Tour

The point of the whole thing, and where the drawings were made.

Theme

This page exists because Rome has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Rome.
