Rome is probably the most interesting and vibrant city in the world. It is a city where the rich past is still very much alive and visible in everyday life. Awesome sights such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon and the Vatican with the newly restored Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo really take your breath away and you really need at least 3 nights in Rome to explore and appreciateall the city has to offer. The romans are justly proud of their cuisine and no trip to Rome would be complete unless you experience an authentic Italian meal at a pavement trattoria followed by tiramisu and cappuccino... heaven! It is no wonder then that Rome is referred to as the 'External City'.
There are many attractions that can be visited on your short break / city breaks to Rome these include The Trevi, that is one of the most popular fountains in Rome where many people meet up with loved ones or sit down for a rest.
The Vatican is another major tourist attraction, which is one of the most attractive buildings in the world, with many Catholics visiting each year. The Piazza Novana was built on the ruins of an ancient stadium and has superb fountains and baroque palaces. |
