Why visit Rome?
Rome is a city where ancient monuments, grand piazzas, and lively streets come together in a compact historic centre. You can wander between ruins, elegant fountains, and leafy neighbourhoods, with something remarkable at almost every turn.
What to expect
You will find a walkable core centred around landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Trevi Fountain, framed by stately boulevards and narrow cobbled lanes. Cafes spill out onto squares, while neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Monti offer a more local atmosphere with small boutiques and relaxed streets.
Plan your trip
Rome works well as both a short city break and the starting point for a longer Italian journey. High-speed trains link the city with Florence, Naples, and Milan, and regional lines connect to coastal towns and hilltop villages, making it an ideal base for exploring central Italy.
