Travel Advice & Information
The city is, of course, famous for its thousands of years of history and 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, a holiday in Rome bristles with memorable sights. With 400 churches, 300 fountains and countless ruins and museums, historical gems are scattered throughout Rome like a big handful of confetti thrown into the wind. Visit the mighty Colosseum, ancient Palatine Hill, crumbling Roman Forum and chic Capitol square. Throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain (legend has it that this ensures you’ll return to the city) and admire the magnificent Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona. Take a tour of the Vatican City and admire the artistry of the Sistine chapel where you’ll see Michelangelo’s world-famous frescoes. Continue your art-gazing in the Borghese Gallery, an opulent villa which houses a vast collection of paintings from world-famous artists such as Caravaggio and Botticelli. For awe-inspiring architecture, check out the ancient Golden House and grand Basilica of St. John Lateran or head underground to explore the eerie warrens of the Catacombs. Cool down with a gelato while strolling through the iconic Piazza di Spagna and the edgy streets of Trastevere.
Rome is perfect for urban dwellers, history buffs and culture vultures. For anyone who wants a taste of la dolce vita and a taste for some of the country’s most tongue-tantalising flavours.
Head to Rome for a long weekend or slower-paced week-long escape and explore on foot to see the many Roman sites across the city.
- Visit the richly-ornate 18th-century Cafe Greco where famous figures such as Casanova, Keats and Byron sat to enjoy a steaming cup of coffee
- Rambling through this utterly romantic city at night is a key ingredient of the Dolce Vita
- 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.
