Attractions
Imbued with a kaleidoscope of architectural marvels, divine piazzas, and populous haunts of a glorious past, the "City of Seven Hills" promises an endless array of things to see and do. Here are some handpicked spectacles that would make your Roman holiday an odyssey of discovery.
March into the Roman Forum
Prepare to be dazzled by the Roman Forum, the political, commercial, and religious centre during the times of Ancient Rome. Steeped in the echoes of gladiatorial combat, triumphal processions and venerable temples, the ruins offer a tangible taste of imperial splendour for history buffs and casual tourists alike.
Ascend the Pincio Hill
Beyond the picturesque Piazza del Popolo with its alluring fountains and ancient Egyptian obelisk, embark on a climb up the Pincio Hill. The breathtaking view of the square and beyond serves a panoramic feast to the eyes that lasts long after the descent.
Marvel at the Basilica Papale di Santa Maria Maggiore
Dedicate some time to the largest basilica dedicated to Mary in Rome, where centuries of history blend with awe-inspiring artistry. Witness well-preserved ancient mosaics, marvel at the towering bell, and truly breathe in the spiritual aura pervading this revered place of worship.
Saunter through Villa Borghese
Getaway from the urban humdrum and surrender to nature's charm at the expansive Villa Borghese. Available to the public since the 1900s, this leafy oasis houses several museums, a zoo, and plenty of verdant spots for a laid-back picnic.
Stand in awe at the Vatican City
No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to Vatican City, the world's smallest independent nation. Be it the unrivalled grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica, the sublime beauty of the Sistine Chapel, or the unrivalled artistic treasures housed in Vatican Museums, this tiny enclave offers an unforgettable journey through art, history, and religion.
City Essentials
A visit to Rome is an enthralling experience at any time of the year. However, for a blend of pleasant climate, manageable crowd, and advantageous hotel deals, the late spring and early autumn are considered most auspicious for exploration.
While the Italian summers, especially between June and September, can be quite hot and bustling with tourists, the neighbourhoods away from the popular attractions provide a charming respite. Meanwhile, the months of January and February offer a quieter Rome, with the added advantage of shorter queues at renowned museums and significant savings on accommodation.
Nightlife
Rome is as vivacious at night as it is historically abundant by day. From cocktail bars and nightclubs to cosy wine bars, the city has entertainment to suit every temperament.
The historic district of Trastevere, with its quaint alleyways and vibrant squares, transforms into a nightlife hotspot with endless bars and restaurants serving delicious Roman fare and fine wines.
If you're seeking a late-night spectacle under the stars, the Testaccio neighbourhood pulsates with dance clubs, live-music venues and cocktail bars – all ensuring an unforgettable evening of fun.
High-end cocktail aficionados should head to the fashionable district of Pigneto, known for its cutting-edge mixology. Stop by Co.So. Cocktail & Social for something experimental, or Bar Necci for a classic aperitif.
Regardless of the tempo of the night you're after, the nightlife in Rome is filled with possibilities to enjoy the city well beyond sunset.
