HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
The Pantheon - the world's best-preserved ancient monument > A passeggiata (early-evening stroll) along the banks of the Tiber, savouring a gelato > The floodlit Forum from Piazza del Campidoglio.

Words alone cannot do justice to Rome. Those who haven’t been should do so as a matter of priority, while those who have will need little or no persuading to return.

The city is, of course, famous for its thousands of years of history, but it combines its status as the world’s greatest open-air museum with being one of the most alluring and vibrant of modern cities.

Rome has so much to offer that it is hard to know where to begin. From the sublime Pantheon, built by the emperor Hadrian, to the bustle of the food market at Campo de' Fiori, Rome bristles with memorable sights.

Walk back in time through the Forum of ancient Rome to the Colosseum, witness the staggering opulence of St. Peter’s Basilica, or take a twilight stroll in the Pincio Gardens above the Piazza del Populo for a spectacular view over the city. Everyone from Caesar Augustus to Michelangelo and Mussolini has left their mark on this extraordinary city.

From the evocative Appian Way, where Spartacus’ men were crucified, to Bernini’s fountains and Fellini’s film La Dolce Vita, Rome is a phenomenal concentration of history, legend and artistic masterpieces. And of course the Italian capital has wonderful restaurants to sustain you in your sight-seeing.

Relax in one of the many trattorias or pizzerias of the Trastevere district, or enjoy an aperitif at one of Rome's legendary cafés and watch the world go by.

Rome is timeless - one of the epicentres of Western civilization and a strong contender for the world’s greatest city.

Stay at the five-star Hotel de Russie, with its spa, beautiful gardens and ideal location just off Piazza del Populo. Alternatively, choose the modernist Hotel Es, a design hotel with a rooftop pool located in the Esquiline district.
