About Rome

Discover Rome

Why visit Rome?
Rome is a city where ancient landmarks, elegant piazzas, and lively neighbourhoods sit side by side. You can wander past ruins, sip coffee in busy squares, and discover small streets filled with local character in a single afternoon.

What to expect
The city is shaped by its historic centre around the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Pantheon, with graceful districts such as Trastevere and Prati offering riverside views and leafy boulevards. Expect compact streets, a relaxed walking pace, and a café culture that encourages you to slow down and take in the surroundings.

Plan your trip
Rome works well as both a standalone city break and a gateway to the rest of Italy. From here you can continue by rail or road to Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, or northern cities, making it an ideal starting point for a wider journey through the country.

Top sights in Rome

Explore the iconic amphitheatre and imagine the grand spectacles that once filled its vast arena.

Walk among the ruins of temples, arches, and public buildings that formed the heart of ancient civic life.

Trevi Fountain

Visit Rome’s most famous fountain, framed by sculpted figures and lively streets, especially atmospheric in the evening.

Experience Rome’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Rome’s historic centre is best explored on foot, with many major sights within walking distance of each other. For longer journeys, the metro, buses, and trams link key districts, while taxis and app-based rides help with late-night or door-to-door travel.

Local life & culture
You will notice the city’s rhythm shift through the day, from quiet morning streets to busy evening passeggiata strolls. Neighbourhoods such as Monti and Testaccio showcase independent boutiques, local cafés, and small galleries that reveal a more everyday side of Rome.

Where to unwind
When you need a break from sightseeing, city parks and shaded squares offer calm spaces to sit and recharge. Early mornings and late afternoons are especially pleasant times to enjoy green areas and riverside paths as the light softens and the air cools.

A taste of Rome

Street food & local specialties
In Rome you can try thin-based pizza by the slice, freshly made pasta dishes, and crisp fried bites from small neighbourhood spots. Areas near Campo de’ Fiori and Trastevere are known for casual eateries and simple menus that highlight local flavours.

Casual & modern dining hubs
Across the city you will find relaxed trattorias, wine bars, and contemporary bistros that make it easy to stop for a meal between sights. Food halls and modern districts gather different kitchens under one roof, so you can share dishes and sample several styles in one sitting.

Signature & scenic dining
For a memorable evening, seek out restaurants with rooftop terraces or views over historic squares and landmarks. Dining with a backdrop of domes, bell towers, or busy cobbled streets adds a special setting to classic Roman dishes and carefully chosen wines.

Retail therapy in Rome

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Rome offers a mix of central streets and modern shopping centres where you can find international fashion brands and Italian labels. These areas often combine shops with cafés and cinemas, making them convenient places to spend a relaxed afternoon.

Markets & local crafts
Smaller markets and side streets are ideal for discovering leather goods, handmade accessories, and design pieces. Neighbourhoods such as Monti, Trastevere, and the streets around Campo de’ Fiori showcase independent stores where you can pick up distinctive items.

Evening retail scene
After sunset, many of Rome’s main shopping streets remain lively, with illuminated windows and busy pavements. Night-time strolls along central avenues are a pleasant way to browse, and public transport and taxis make it straightforward to return to your hotel.

Best time to visit Rome

Primavera (spring, March to May, 10–22°C / 50–72°F, shoulder season)
Spring brings mild temperatures, blooming parks, and comfortable conditions for walking between sights. Days are longer, outdoor terraces begin to fill, and you can explore the city before the warmest months arrive.

Estate (summer, June to August, 20–32°C / 68–90°F, peak season)
Summer is warm and lively, with long daylight hours and an energetic atmosphere in squares and streets. It is a popular time to combine Rome with coastal destinations, and early mornings or evenings are ideal for exploring landmarks.

Autunno e inverno (autumn and winter, September to February, 4–20°C / 39–68°F, low season)
The cooler months bring a softer light, quieter attractions, and a slower pace around major sights. It is a good period if you prefer lighter crowds and enjoy museum visits, leisurely meals, and unhurried walks through historic districts.
