About Rome

Discover Rome

Why visit Rome?
Rome combines grand avenues, lively piazzas, and millennia of history in a compact, walkable city. You can wander from ancient ruins to elegant cafés, then end your day on a terrace overlooking terracotta rooftops and busy neighbourhood streets.

What to expect
The city is shaped by iconic areas such as the Colosseum and Roman Forum district, the baroque lanes around Piazza Navona, and the chic boutiques of Via Condotti. Expect busy streets, late dinners, and a relaxed pace where long strolls and people-watching are part of everyday life.

Plan your trip
Rome is a rewarding first stop in Italy and a natural gateway to regions such as Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, and the lakes of central Italy. With strong rail links and domestic flights, you can easily combine a stay in the capital with time in coastal towns, wine regions, or hilltop villages.

Experience Rome’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Rome is best explored on foot, with the metro and buses useful for longer hops between major districts. Taxis and app-based rides are handy late at night or with luggage, while simple neighbourhood walks reveal hidden courtyards, small piazzas, and local cafés.

Local life & culture
Daily life in Rome revolves around neighbourhood squares, pavement cafés, and lively conversations that stretch well into the evening. You will notice a strong café culture, a love of fashion and design, and a tradition of taking time over an espresso or an evening stroll with friends and family.

Where to unwind
Green spaces such as Villa Borghese and the gardens around the Baths of Caracalla offer calm corners away from city traffic. Early mornings bring softer light and quieter paths, while late afternoons are ideal for a relaxed walk followed by a viewpoint over the domes and rooftops.

A taste of Rome

Street food & local specialties
You can try Roman classics such as thin, crispy pizza by the slice, supplì rice croquettes, and simple pasta dishes in traditional trattorias. Areas around Trastevere and Testaccio are known for casual eateries that highlight seasonal produce and long-standing local recipes.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Throughout central Rome you will find modern bistros, wine bars, and food courts inside historic buildings or updated markets. Menus often feature sharing plates and smaller portions, encouraging you to sample several dishes, from vegetable-focused antipasti to contemporary twists on regional favourites.

Signature & scenic dining
For special occasions, rooftop terraces and restaurants near viewpoints such as the Pincian Terrace or around the historic centre provide memorable city panoramas. You can enjoy refined versions of Roman cuisine, paired with views of domes, monuments, and softly lit streets after sunset.

Retail therapy in Rome

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Central streets near Via del Corso and the surrounding area offer a mix of international brands, Italian labels, and department stores. These shopping zones often combine fashion, bookshops, and cafés, turning a shopping trip into a leisurely part of your sightseeing day.

Markets & local crafts
Neighbourhood markets and side streets in areas such as Campo de' Fiori, Monti, and Trastevere showcase local designers, accessories, and homeware. Here you can look for handmade items, leather goods, and design pieces that reflect the city’s blend of tradition and modern style.

Evening retail scene
In the evening, main shopping streets and central squares remain pleasantly busy, with window displays illuminated and cafés spilling onto pavements. Night-time strolls through these areas combine browsing with people-watching, and frequent public transport makes it easy to return to your hotel afterwards.
