Walk among ancient ruins of the Roman Empire or drop a coin in the Trevi Fountain. Buy Italian leather goods in the market and order fresh gnocchi at dinner.
Ancient history
Don’t forget to charge your camera as you’ll be needing all of its battery power with the incredible attractions you’ll find in Rome. Immerse yourself in Rome’s ancient history and gaze up at incredible structures that have stood the test of time, before stepping inside famous landmarks like the Colosseum and imagining the throngs of people that used to watch the shows there in the past.
Great sightseeing
If you’re planning to do lots of sightseeing, consider getting a Roma Pass. This will give you unlimited travel on public transport, along with free entry to your first two museums and a discount on any more you visit. If you want to add in the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel, fast track entry to St. Peter’s Basilica and access to bus tours, go for the OMNIA Vatican and Rome card.
Vibrant nightlife
In addition to the fabulous tourist attractions that define the city, Rome can also give you a great night out. Start off with a meal out at one of the city’s countless restaurants where you can have Michelin-starred dishes or homely traditional fare. Don’t fill yourself up too much before having a few glasses of prosecco and uncovering the more modern side of Rome that comes alive once the sun goes down.
