Introducing Rome
Lovers of history, lovers of food and those simply in love have been coming to Rome for centuries. The most important city of the ancient world is still very visible in Rome’s astonishing archaeology and architecture. The modern world’s very present too, and Rome is one of the top designer shopping and fashion destinations in the world. Your itinerary is bound to include world-famous landmarks like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s, but will also have time for unscheduled pit stops for perfect pasta and pizza or inspiring ice cream. The weather is Mediterranean, just a couple of hours’ flight from the UK. After a day’s sightseeing, sit back and admire the sunsets from a pavement café or head to some very trendy bars and clubs to party the night away.
