Rome, Italy

Overview

Rome, the Eternal City, is a breathtaking open-air museum where every corner reveals a layer of history stretching back more than 2,500 years. As the former capital of the Roman Empire and the heart of the Catholic Church, Rome is a city where the past and present merge in spectacular fashion—ancient ruins, Renaissance art, and vibrant modern life coexist in a seamless, captivating rhythm.

At the heart of the city lies the Colosseum, once the grand arena of gladiators, and the Roman Forum, where the political and commercial life of ancient Rome once thrived. Just a short stroll away is Vatican City, the world’s smallest country and spiritual center of Catholicism, home to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s legendary ceiling continues to inspire awe.

Yet Rome’s magic doesn’t end with its monuments. Life here moves with a passionate energy—whether it’s sipping espresso at a sidewalk café, sharing a bottle of wine over carbonara in Trastevere, or enjoying a passeggiata (leisurely evening stroll) as the city glows under golden lamplight. The city’s piazzas, fountains, and baroque churches make even the simplest walks feel cinematic.

Each of Rome’s neighborhoods offers its own mood and treasures. The Centro Storico pulses with energy and grandeur, while Monti balances boho style with hidden ruins. Testaccio serves up culinary delights where locals dine, and Trastevere enchants with ivy-draped balconies, artisan shops, and late-night buzz.

Rome isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience of living history, wrapped in beauty, passion, and la dolce vita. Every visit reveals new layers, ensuring that no two trips are ever the same.
