A city of refined beauty and head-spinning history, Rome is a treasure trove to delve into
‘The Eternal City’ captures the great, century-spanning history of Rome, which is displayed like a living museum throughout its piazzas, museums and ruins. From the iconic Colosseum to the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain to the Vatican City, Rome is filled with architectural marvels that will leave your mouth agape and your camera full. And yet, Rome effortlessly blends the past and the present, its vibrant culture breathing new life into the cobblestone streets. As you wander through Italy’s capital city, you’ll get to know its unique charms, which include more than a few bowls of carbonara and a boatload of gelato. One thing’s for certain, Rome always leaves you wanting more.
Rome simply cannot be exaggerated. From the masterpieces of the Vatican Museums and ancient architecture, it's enough to amaze even the most stoic travellers.
Off the beaten track
While Rome's iconic landmarks are always on our list, a detour here and there will provide a more intimate glimpse into the city's soul. Wander down the Appian Way, an original Roman road lined with ancient tombs, or take in breathtaking views of Rome from the Orange Garden atop Aventine Hill.
Something to think about
When it comes to making the most of your time, planning ahead is key, especially when you're visiting sights like the Vatican and the Colosseum.
