Italy's ancient capital is an architectural wonderland, with its many ruins depicting the stories of its vast empire which once spanned three continents. This open-air museum includes must-see monuments like the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum. This former gladiator arena is the city's centrepiece, and conjures up dramatic images of the games once held here through its huge underground complex and multi-tiered seating. It's also worth a visit to the impeccably preserved Pantheon, which further portrays the Eternal City's golden age.
With over 900 churches and many breathtaking basilicas among them, Rome is also home to the city-state of the Vatican, the seat of the Catholic Church. St. Peter's Basilica is undoubtedly the tourism hotspot, but many treasures such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and countless other masterpieces can be found inside the Vatican's captivating museums.
As with any city in Italy, the local cuisine varies from region to region. In Rome, the trademark dishes are 'cacio e pepe' – a simple but delicious pecorino cheese and pepper pasta recipe – and 'spaghetti carbonara'.
Other points of interest include the iconic Trevi Fountain, the Borghese Gallery, and the popular squares of Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna. When the weather is at its best between April and June, take a stroll through Villa Borghese park or hire a bike.

I've been to the Eternal City many times and still haven't seen everything. A glorious place to visit. Its very crowded and very noisy - sometimes as it has always been for the past 2000+ years.

Attenzione - beware of pickpockets, especially inside Termini-Metro station! As a Muslim, other than eating at Kebab shops, and going vegetarian (but can eat egg, seafood, not alcohol), it would be great if I could enjoy the local food (pizza, pasta and such) without worrying whether those are prepared correctly. My experience was - those vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes/snacks were served on the same plate!

25 April 2024
Museums, galleries and historical sites were very interesting. But most sites were much too crowded. Generally we find that the first week or two of April is less crowded in western Europe but this is not the case in Rome. We wonder if part of it is cruise ship crowds being bused in from the coast. Old city centers aren't designed for that amount of people.

Rome is a city that embodies history, culture, and incredible food, making it a must-visit destination for travelers. I recently had the pleasure of exploring the city's iconic landmarks, including the Vatican Basilica and the stunning Vatican Museums. The sheer grandeur of these places is breathtaking, and the art collections are unparalleled. The Colosseum is another highlight—stepping inside feels like a journey back in time to the days of gladiators. Castel Sant'Angelo offers a unique perspective on the city's history and has amazing views from the top. The Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon are iconic spots that simply cannot be missed. For a touch of elegance, stroll through Villa Borghese's gardens and visit the art gallery within. Piazza Navona, with its vibrant atmosphere and beautiful fountains, is perfect for people-watching and soaking in the Roman charm. Rome's food scene is a feast for the senses. From delicious pasta and pizza to creamy ice cream and delectable desserts, every meal was a delight. There are countless restaurants serving authentic Italian cuisine, making it easy to find a great meal no matter where you are. I strongly recommend taking a guided tour to get the most out of your visit to the main attractions. It adds a lot of value, providing insights and stories that bring the history to life. Rome has so much to offer, and I'm already planning my next visit!

If you want to visit any tourist attractions, book them before you arrive in Rome. We tried to book things like the Coliseum and the Vatican the night before we wanted to go, and there were no tickets available. The main way we got around the city was by walking...there is definitely lots to do and lots to see. There are a lot of tourists, so it can sometimes take a bit longer to get around. We had a few recommendations for restaurants, which were great, but we also checked restaurants via google maps and the reviews that people had left...there are so many great dining options and you certainly won't go hungry while you're there!
The flat was in a really good location.
