Rome Overview

The Eternal City. The Capital of the World. The Threshold of Apostles. Rome has been referred to by many names in its time. Whatever you may want to call the city now, Rome is, undoubtedly, epic. Architectural wonders and religious epicentres co-exist with buzzing cafes and fashion conscious locals. Providing the backdrop for many classic movies, Rome is one of the most picturesque locales in the world. Now the capital of Italy, and once the capital city of the great Roman Empire, the history of Rome spans over two thousand years. A walk down the streets feels like a walk down a museum, with relics of great structures and monumental buildings around every corner. The grand Colosseum, the epic Pantheon and the innumerable cathedrals of the Vatican will take your breath away. Situated on the River Tiber, the city is divided into several districts. The ancient centre, the modern centre, the Vatican and the Trastevere are the most popular and frequented ones. A city with rich historical heritage, warm people, great cuisine, influential personalities and cosmopolitan atmosphere, it is safe to say that Rome will always be The Eternal City.
