Leaving the port, an approx. 1.5-hour coach drive will take you to Rome, one of the world’s greatest cities and unique in its eclectic blend of charm, history and art. Your tour guide will meet you on arrival to lead you around the city on a varied itinerary that includes external visits at the Colosseum and Roman Forum. You can even attend the Pope’s weekly Angelus on St. Peter’s Square and admire the splendid Bernini Column. You will have time to explore on your own and, if you like, visit the Basilica. Your guide will be happy to provide information on the site beforehand. A break will be made for lunch in a restaurant, after which the excursion continues with a walking tour to Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and around the elegant Piazza Navona. On taking leave of your Roman guide, you will return to the port. Please note: the excursion includes a long walking tour. The possibility of attending the “Angelus” will be reconfirmed on board as it depends on the Vatican’s programmes and is foreseen only during Sunday calls. During the autumn and the winter, it may be dusk when we visit some of the sites. The restaurant lunch may be earlier or later depending on the day of call. Conservative attire is recommended for visiting sites of religious importance.

  A short coach drive will take you to the Hippie Market of Es Canar, located on the premises of a popular tourist destination. It all began in 1973 when the resort management decided it would be a good idea to give the local hippies a chance to peddle their goods to a small resident population of tourists spending a few days on holiday in Club Punta Arabi. From the initial 6 stands in 1973, with Maggie selling her wonderful cakes, a lady coming from Formentera offering warm woolly sweaters, another person hawking Indian jewellery and children swapping toys to the rhythm of violins, guitars and jam sessions, the so-called "mercadillo" has since developed into a real tourist attraction on Ibiza. You will have 2 hours to explore the colourful market and the stands that sell every item you can imagine before returning to your ship. Please note: this tour is available only for guests onboard MSC Orchestra.
