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 section and explore this gateway to Italy further!
