Welcome to
Rome
Italy
Rome is the Eternal City for good reason — nowhere else on earth can you wander from a 2,000-year-old amphitheatre to a Renaissance piazza to a Baroque fountain in a single afternoon stroll. The layers of history are staggering: ancient forums, early Christian catacombs, Vatican masterpieces, and the café culture of a living, breathing modern capital all occupy the same streets. Romans eat extraordinarily well — cacio e pepe, supplì, gelato — and the combination of beauty, history, and food makes Rome one of the most deeply satisfying cities to visit.
