Exploring Rome

You can spend an entire week in Rome realizing that you only have skimmed the surface. And this only because there are so many top attractions in Rome and almost every corner you turn you'll find something to visit: starting from the Colosseum, the Pantheon or the Roman Forum. And this is not all: the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps at Piazza di Spagna represent also a must see when you are in Rome. And of course no visit to Rome would be complete without a trip to the top attractions of the Vatican City like St. Peter's Basilica, St. Peter's Square, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums.

A dinner cruise on the River Tiber is highly recommended and also the tour of the city by night in order to see it all light up. You can also go to the St. Peter's Square to experience an audience with the Pope which takes place usually on Wednesday's. If you're here during the hot summer months you can take a short train ride out to Ostia beach which is just about 24km from the city centre. In conclusion, Rome is full of interesting places for you to see.

But it is not all of attractions when you are visiting this beautiful city. You have also to find some great hotels in Rome, in order to fully enjoy the trip. From budget to luxury, you can find more hotels in Rome that are centrally located: you can stay near Piazza di Spagna, one of the most beautiful square in Rome, and the famous Spanish steps, one of Rome’s most famous sights; or you can choose to be guest in one of the Town House Suites or hotels in the Vatican area, which will surprise you with its unique charm, thanks to the majesty of S. Peter Square and its Basilica, the Vatican Museums, the Raphael Rooms, the Vatican Gardens and the Sistine Chapel.
