Why visit Rome?
Rome is a city where ancient streets, grand piazzas, and lively cafés come together in one compact, walkable capital. You will find iconic landmarks at almost every turn, framed by elegant palaces and everyday neighbourhood life.
What to expect
You can explore layers of history, from the Colosseum and Roman Forum to Renaissance squares and Baroque fountains. Busy thoroughfares sit beside quiet side streets, with neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Monti offering a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere.
Plan your trip
Rome is an ideal starting point for journeys across Italy, with fast rail links to Florence, Naples, and Milan, and connections to coastal regions. Plan time to wander on foot, then use the city as a gateway to explore surrounding countryside, lakes, and historic hill towns.
