About Rome

Rome (Roma) has endured for over 2,700 years.  Rooted in centuries of history and culture, it is Italy's capital and largest city. In this city an exceptional concentration of history, legend, and monuments coexist with an equally exceptional concentration of people busily going about their everyday life.

Here the ancient world is integrated with the modern. The Roman Forum and the Pantheon exist alongside Baroque palazzos and Renaissance villas, with the modernism of Mussolini’s redesign of the capital providing additional architectural contrast.  You can drive along a busy Roman street and see the Colosseum rising in front of you.  Rome means history—Etruscan tombs, Republican meeting rooms, imperial temples, early Christian churches, medieval bell towers, Renaissance palaces, and baroque basilicas. As you stroll through this remarkable city you are walking in the footsteps of the Caesars, St. Peter, Charlemagne, the Popes, and Michelangelo. 

And amidst all this history, a modern city lives and  breathes. Rome has wonderful restaurants, pizzerias, trattorias, bars, and clubs. See the art and architecture of the ages, shop for the latest fashions, or sit in a sidewalk café and drink in the atmosphere. There are chic designer stores, traditional street markets and, blessedly unchanged areas such as Trastevere, where you can do as the natives do—visit the old shops and trattorias popular with the locals.
