Rome

Italy’s capital is known as the “The Eternal City” for good reason. Founded in 753 B.C., Rome is now a modern metropolis that continuously pays homage to its ancient roots. Rome is a mecca of architectural and artistic treasures, boasting marvels from ancient times and the Renaissance.

The historic center of the city, while relatively small in area, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in all of Europe. Ancient ruins and relics, magnificent statues, and opulent cathedrals coincide gracefully with world-famous restaurants, narrow, tree-lined streets, and open-air markets. Here you will find the impressive Pantheon, which now functions as a Catholic church, and the enormous ancient Colosseum, where gladiators fought to the death and Christians were were executed by Romans.

Rome’s more modern side offers visitors a wealth of nightlife, dining, and shopping opportunities. Because of the city’s Mediterranean climate the weather is pleasant most of the year, so outdoor eating and shopping is commonplace. There is so much to do and see in Rome that no matter how long you stay, you’ll have trouble trying to fit it all in. Just be sure to watch how much pasta and pizza you consume, lest you have trouble being able to fit in your pants also..
