For thousands of years tourists, merchants and pilgrims have made their way towards the town on seven hills on Tiber.  Rome has unarguably the richest, fullest history of any town on earth. Its unique position as the world's greatest Empire, its significance as a religious and cultural centre, its turbulent centuries of aristocratic and papal rivalries and upheaval. and all the while incorporating some of the finest architecture still surviving.

Rome “the eternal city” spills over with art, ancient history, high fashion, and all the food and drink Italy is famous for . Rome is far from being a museum: it's a colourful and vibrant living city which is still an appealing destination for those with a phobia of history. The food, the culture, the ambience and the surrounding scenery make a great visit even if you don't see a single ruin or statue!
