Overview

Take a trip to Rome on your Italy Vacation

Rome stands as The Eternal City, a living, breathing museum of epic proportions. This legendary metropolis on the Tiber River has a history unfolding over nearly the past 3,000 years, and its ancient roots have gifted the world with unparalleled architectural marvels. Walk through the Roman Forum, where the voices of ancient senators once echoed in the ruins of temples and government buildings. Visit the awe-inspiring Colosseum, where gladiators once battled. Wander through the grandeur of the Pantheon, a testament to Roman engineering and architecture. 

Immerse yourself in the vibrant and good-humoured culture of Romans, who believe life is meant to be savoured, a philosophy most evident in the city's eateries. Rome is a gastronomic paradise, with restaurants, trattorias, pizzerias, enotecas, cafés, bars, and gelato parlors at every corner. Sip on a rich espresso in a bustling piazza, indulge in classic Roman pasta dishes, and raise a glass of local wine to salute la dolce vita. 

Looming over this remarkable city is the Vatican, a city-state within Rome where spirituality meets grandeur. St. Peter's Basilica stands as an architectural marvel, and a visit to the Vatican Museums reveals a staggering collection of art, including Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

One unforgettable tradition travelers should try to experience is a sagra—a local food festival that celebrates a specific dish, ingredient, or harvest. These are often held in small towns, especially in the summer and fall, and they offer an amazing window into real Italian life

Italy is not just Rome, Venice, Florence and Amalfi Coast... Every region or small town has its own history, art, traditions, culture, peculiarity

Most tourists don’t realize just how deeply regional Italy is. Not just in terms of food, but also in language, traditions, and identity. Italian culture is really a patchwork of local cultures
