Roma, capital of modern Italy and one of Europe's
key capitals, is one of those unforgettable cities
that allows you to straddle time. Visiting such
landmarks as the well-preserved Colosseum, you
can travel back two and a half thousand years
to the dawn of Western Civilization; wandering
its lively streets and talking with its passionate
residents and discovering its delectable cuisine,
you will become blissfully lost in the present
moment.
Rome is a must-see for anyone interested in
the evolution of Western Civilization. Its artists,
politicians and philosophers have made an indelible
mark on Western society, government and culture
– and continue to do so. Rome also holds a significant
place in the story of Christianity up to the
present day, for it endures as the seat of the
papacy. The Roman Catholic Church is administered
from the Vatican City, the world's smallest sovereign
state.
While greater Rome is quite modern and cosmopolitan,
the historic city center remains essentially
Renaissance and Baroque in character, as Rome
was one of the few major European cities that
escaped World War II relatively unscathed.
According to City Brands Index, Rome is thought
to be the second most exciting and attractive
city in the world. Click here to visit our Tours
