About Rome

Discover Rome

Why visit Rome?
Rome blends ancient landmarks, elegant boulevards, and lively neighbourhood squares into one memorable city. You can wander past iconic ruins, people-watch over an espresso, and feel layers of history at every turn.

What to expect
The historic centre is compact and walkable, framed by sights such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and grand piazzas. Modern Rome offers leafy districts, busy shopping streets, and a relaxed café culture that invites you to linger late into the evening.

Plan your trip
Rome works well for a focused city break or as the first stop on a longer Italian journey. High-speed trains and regional links make it easy to continue to Florence, Naples, or the coast, using the capital as a convenient gateway to the rest of the country.

Experience Rome's everyday rhythm

Getting around
You can move easily between major sights using Rome's metro, buses, and trams, with many attractions also linked by pleasant walking routes. For a different perspective, follow the Tiber riverside paths, then use taxis or app-based rides for late-night or longer cross-town journeys.

Local life & culture
Daily life in Rome plays out in piazzas, neighbourhood cafés, and local markets. You will see residents gather for a morning coffee, an early evening stroll, and open-air conversations that stretch into the night, giving the city a sociable and unhurried rhythm.

Where to unwind
Green spaces such as Villa Borghese, Villa Doria Pamphilj, and the Orto Botanico offer shade, views, and quiet corners close to the centre. Early mornings and late afternoons are especially pleasant times to enjoy a relaxed walk, boat ride, or picnic away from the busier streets.

A taste of Rome

Street food & local specialties
You can sample Roman favourites such as thin, crisp pizza by the slice, freshly made pasta, and seasonal vegetable dishes in simple trattorias and takeaway counters. Areas around Trastevere, Testaccio, and Campo de' Fiori are known for casual spots serving regional recipes.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Across the city, you will find contemporary bistros, food halls, and cafés offering everything from traditional Italian fare to international flavours. Dining is often relaxed and social, with portions sized so you can try antipasti, a main course, and something sweet if you wish.

Signature & scenic dining
For a memorable evening, look for rooftop terraces, garden courtyards, or riverfront venues with views of domes and historic façades. Many restaurants near central landmarks offer outdoor tables, where you can enjoy a lingering meal while watching the city lights gradually come on.

Retail therapy in Rome

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Rome combines historic streets with modern shopping centres that bring together international brands, Italian labels, and entertainment. These lifestyle hubs often feature cafés and cinemas, making them convenient places to spend a few relaxed hours between sightseeing.

Markets & local crafts
Smaller markets and neighbourhood shops are good places to look for leather goods, accessories, and design pieces. Districts such as Monti, Trastevere, and the streets around Campo de' Fiori showcase independent boutiques and stalls with a distinctly Roman character.

Evening retail scene
After dark, streets near Via del Corso, Via Condotti, and around Piazza di Spagna stay lively with illuminated windows and a steady flow of evening strollers. Many shops open late, and public transport and taxis make it straightforward to return to your hotel once you have finished exploring.
