Discover Rome

Rome is a city where history seems to appear around every corner. Known as the Eternal City, Italy's magnificent capital is an extraordinary open-air museum, where ancient Roman ruins, Renaissance palaces, magnificent fountains and beautiful piazzas sit alongside bustling cafés and lively neighbourhood restaurants. Wandering through its historic streets, it's almost impossible not to stumble upon another world-famous landmark, whether it's the breathtaking Pantheon, the spectacular Trevi Fountain or the elegant Spanish Steps.

At the heart of ancient Rome stands the mighty Colosseum, where gladiators once fought before enormous crowds, while the nearby Roman Forum offers a fascinating glimpse into the political and commercial centre of the Roman Empire. For something different, guided tours incorporating virtual reality reconstructions can bring the ancient city vividly back to life, revealing how its temples, monuments and public spaces might have appeared nearly 2,000 years ago. Across the Tiber, Vatican City is home to St Peter's Basilica and the extraordinary Sistine Chapel, with Michelangelo's celebrated ceiling.

Rome's food scene is another reason to fall in love with the city. Italian cuisine is exceptional, and Rome has its own irresistible specialities, from authentic carbonara and cacio e pepe to crispy supplì and freshly baked pizza al taglio. Head to the cobbled streets of Trastevere, where traditional trattorias, atmospheric wine bars and lively piazzas create a wonderful setting for an evening meal. Afterwards, enjoy a gelato while strolling through the illuminated streets.

Perhaps Rome's greatest attraction is the city itself. Whether you're admiring the architecture, enjoying an espresso in a sun-drenched piazza or discovering another ancient monument hidden among modern buildings, Rome offers an unforgettable combination of history, culture and Italian la dolce vita.
