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.”

Borghese Gallery & Museum

Rome falls short of Venice and Florence when it comes to art, but this gallery is an exception. The bi-level art gallery, housed in the former Villa Borghese Pinciana, displays masterpieces by renowned artists such as Botticelli, Raphael, Caravaggio, Rubens and Tiziano. The adjacent gardens are as breathtaking as the artwork showcased in the gallery.

Baths of Caracalla

Built under the reigns of Emperors Septimius Severus and his son Caracalla, the Terme di Caracalla is what remains of once functioning ancient public baths. It is, as of today, one of the best (and largest) remaining examples of a similar structure.

Domus Aurea — Nero’s Golden House

In the year 64 AD, Emperor Nero built a palace almost one mile long — stretching from Palatine Hill all the way to Oppio Hill. Some parts were covered in gold, precious stones and featured splendid decor. After Nero’s death, it was filled in with earth to obliterate the tyrant’s memory. It was accidentally rediscovered in the 15th century, and today, you can walk through 30 of Nero’s 150 underground rooms.

Piazza Navona

The elongated Piazza Navona with its three impressive fountains, including the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi with the Egyptian obelisk at its centre, is Rome's most famous and vibrant square. Built in the 1st century AD, the square used to be a stadium for athletic competitions and could accommodate over 20,000 spectators. The backdrop of Baroque architecture, tourists, street artists, restaurants, and bars makes it the perfect setting to cherish the moment.
