Accompanying Persons Tours
The Gala Dinner will conclude the technical tour back to Rome, where we will join the guests taking part to the leisure program in Rome. Rome offers a huge number of different tours, and the will be booked according to individual needs right at the conference Desk, thanks to an agreement with a local tour operator. Tour options will include: Christian Rome (half day), Imperial Rome (half day), and Historical Appia Antica Tour (full day).
Our international conferences form an amazing legacy since our first meeting in 1962 in Turin, Italy — ISTVS is a connected group of professionals from industry, universities, and research institutions who have been meeting over five decades to share research findings. See the full history and order proceedings.
The 13th European Conference of the ISTVS will provide you a place where you can exchange ideas and information on the current research and technology developments in the field of terramechanics and terrain-machine systems.

ABOUT ROME
Rome is the Eternal city. Rome is without doubt one the most beautiful cities in the world; every year millions of visitors come from around the world to admire the treasures and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture.
The many monuments and attractions of Rome cannot be described in a short paragraph, but many websites give information on travel, lodging, visiting, dining, and enjoying Rome.
If possible, plan to stay after the Conference, and join one of the many guided tours conveniently provided by the many tour operators available.
After all, Rome wasn't built in a day — it can’t be seen in one, either!
