Rome, known as the Eternal City, is a captivating blend of ancient wonders, baroque beauty and everyday Italian glamour. Like so much of Italy, Rome is a living museum—where golden light spills over glittering fountains, centuries-old cobblestones and corners humming with history. Beyond its ancient monuments and sacred art, this timeless city offers an irresistible blend of culture, cuisine and history. Whether it’s your first time or a nostalgic return, Rome never fails to enchant.

Ancient Roma

Begin where history carved its name in travertine limestone at the Colosseo. This iconic amphitheatre still echoes with the sounds of gladiators in their battles for fame and glory. Just steps away, the Roman Forum and Palatino Hill offer immersive glimpses into the social and political heartbeat of the ancient Roman empire. Art and architecture lovers will find endless inspiration in the Pantheon’s majestic and miraculously intact dome. Cross the Tevere river to the Vatican City to gaze at Michelangelo’s tantalising Sistine Chapel ceiling. For those seeking serenity and beauty, wander up to the leafy hilltops of Gianicolo or Villa Borghese. Here the Renaissance statues and secret gardens with sweeping panoramic terraces offer a softer side to the city’s magnificence.

A Taste of Roma

If Rome is a feast for the eyes, its culinary scene is a love letter to the soul. Birthplace of carbonara, amatriciana and the silky simplicity of cacio e pepe, the city is a paradise for pasta lovers. Testaccio Market spills over with fragrant cheeses and Roman artichokes. Just across the river, Trastevere’s trattorias buzz with the clink of wine glasses and lively piazzas. No visit to Rome is complete without artisanal gelato—hand-scooped straight from a stainless steel canister at Gelateria del Teatro, or a freshly pulled espresso standing at the counter. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain at sunset to secure a safe return to the City of Echoes—just be sure to do it right hand over left shoulder.
