Visit the Eternal City of Rome

19th September 2008

Rome provides visitors with a myriad of sightseeing options, from the Colosseum and the Apostolic Palace, with its celebrated Sistine Chapel – make sure to marvel at the frescoes by Michelangelo - to the Arch of Constantine and the Pantheon.

The destination is also a key centre for Renaissance and Baroque architecture, which can be viewed in its many palazzos and piazzas.

Stop off at the Piazza Navona or Piazza Campo de Fiori for a break over an espresso and a pastry.

In addition to the city's all-year-round attractions, Rome offers a wealth of events throughout the year.

These include the Roma Jazz Festival in October and the open-air Christmas Eve Vigil in St Peter's Square with the Pope himself delivering mass.

Why not combine your break in the city with visits by train to Venice and Florence to get the most of Italian culture?

Enjoy the atmosphere in Rome.
