Rome, Italy’s capital, is a sprawling, cosmopolitan city with nearly 3,000 years of globally influential art, architecture and culture on display. Undoubtedly, Rome, is one of the most beautiful cities of the world.
Lose yourself in the tangled lanes of the historic centre and neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Monti. A heady mix of haunting sights, awe-inspiring art and vibrant street life, Italy's Eternal City is one of the world's most beautiful and inspiring capitals.
Why rome:
Few cities can rival Rome's astonishing artistic heritage. Ancient statues adorn world-class museums, Byzantine mosaics and Renaissance frescoes dazzle in the city's art-rich churches, baroque facades flank medieval piazzas. Every year millions of tourists come from around the world to admire the treasures and masterpieces of Roman art and architecture.
A trip to Rome is as much about lapping up the dolce vita lifestyle as gorging on art and culture. It's about relaxing into the city's Mediterranean rhythms and idling around the picturesque streets. Whiling away hours at streetside cafes is an integral part of Roman experience. The fashionably dressed crowd descends on the city cafes.
Eating out is one of Rome's great pleasures and the combination of romantic al fresco settings and superlative food is a guarantee of good times. For contemporary fine dining and five-star wine there are any number of refined restaurants, but for a truly Roman meal search out the city's boisterous pizzerias and convivial neighbourhood trattorias for thin, crispy pizzas, humble but delicious pastas, and cool white wine.
