ROME
Rome is a living canvas where ancient history, monumental architecture, and a vibrant modern lifestyle seamlessly merge.
Known as the “Eternal City,” is the Capital and the most populated city in Italy with almost 3 million residents.
Rome has served for centuries as a global crossroads of ideas, culture, and innovation. Walking through the city is like exploring a living museum with different historical eras layered directly on top of one another. The city transitions from the massive concrete arches of antiquity to the symmetry and classical proportions of the Renaissance. A strong signature is given by the 17th-century Baroque style, with its dramatic curves and public fountains. This complex evolution concludes in the with the addition of the stark, geometric white marble buildings characteristic of the 20th century Rationalism.
There is an endless amount of things to see and do throughout the city. Visitors can walk through the ruins of the Roman Forum, step inside the Colosseum, or cross the river into the Vatican to see the spectacular Sistine Chapel. For a taste of local life, you can wander through the narrow cobblestone alleys of the lively Trastevere neighbourhood or relax in the peaceful green gardens of Villa Borghese.
No trip is complete without sitting down at a local trattoria to enjoy Rome’s famous traditional dishes.
