Hallo, rome

Rome has attracted visitors for over 2,000 years, a city where ancient ruins, grand piazzas, and Baroque fountains sit alongside charming cafés and trattorias. From the Colosseum and Roman Forum to the Pantheon and hidden alleyways, the city brims with history, art, and everyday life. Sip a frothy cappuccino, savour fresh pasta or a creamy gelato, and linger over a glass of wine, Rome invites you to step into the Italian “Dolce Vita.”

Villa Farnesina

Villa Farnesina, considered one of the most magnificent creations of the Italian Renaissance, was built by Baldassare Peruzzi for the wealthy Sienese banker Agostino Chigi, known as the "Magnifico". He lived the splendid life of a Renaissance merchant in a setting of pomp and splendour, entertaining artists, poets, and noblemen with sumptuous banquets. The interior is richly decorated with frescoes by great masters, such as Raphael, Sebastiano del Piombo, Giovanni Antonio Bazzi, known as Sodoma, and Peruzzi himself.

Trevi Fountain

Designed by Salvi and completed by Pannini in 1762, the striking Fontana di Trevi amazes onlookers with its 26.3-metre height and 49.15-metre width, making it the largest Baroque fountain in the city and the most famous one in the world. Famous on screen in films such as Roman Holiday and Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, it remains a magnet for visitors who toss coins over their shoulders for luck.

Wax Museum

While a wax museum might not be among the Eternal City's top attractions, it will probably interest second and third-time visitors with its curious collection of well-known Italian and international figures, from former Popes and ancient Romans to Pavarotti and Winston Churchill, plus a waxworks laboratory open to guests.

Vatican City

Headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and home to the Pope, the Vatican City is an ecclesiastical state and the smallest state in Europe, both in dimension and population. Though teeny tiny, the state holds 11 noteworthy museums, including the Michelangelo-decorated Sistine Chapel (perhaps the greatest gem), St Peter's Basilica, and St Peter's Square. Marvel at the Vatican's treasures with your booked-ahead tour and avoid lining up in notoriously slow-moving queues.
