The central Roma Termini train station is a kilometre away, and the nearest underground station is Colosseo.
There is something for everyone to enjoy when you holiday in Rome, whether its history and culture, renaissance art and architecture, music and opera, food and fashion or simply the joy of sipping a cappuccino in a street side café, the Eternal City has got the lot. Walk in the steps of the Caesars, poets, and philosophers as you stroll down the stone street of the Via dei Fori Imperiali, and follow the route from the ancient Roman Forum to the arena of the iconic Colosseum. Everywhere you go, there are ornate churches, rich with decorative icons, don't miss a visit to the nearby Church of Saints Quirico and Giulietta, with its impressive Romanesque Bell Tower.
No visit to Rome is complete without a walk through the Vatican Museum and its magnificent art collection. Look up and admire Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, then take the double helix staircase to the glory of the Basilica of St Peter. For some fine art, go to the Borghese Gallery, set in a gorgeous garden, housing an incredible collection of Canova marble sculptures.
On the stroll back, stop at Harry's Bar for a Bellini, then walk down the Spanish steps and visit the Romantic poet Keat's house before sampling English muffins at the famous Babington's Tea Rooms, established in 1893. Saunter down the iconic Via dei Condotti and window shop for fabulous fashion designer brand labels and must-have handcrafted leather handbags. Enjoy the bustling squares of Piazza Barberini and Navona, and marvel at the famous marble masterpiece, the Trevi fountain. See the light at the Pantheon; aim for noon for maximum illumination. Go to the city's outskirts and across the Old Appian Way to discover the hidden treasures of the catacombs.
If you fancy a day trip out of Rome, the town of Tivoli is just thirty kilometres away, where you can visit Hadrian's Villa and the exquisite Villa D'Este. During the day, dine on freshly made pizza and pasta and homemade ice cream, eat alfresco in one of the many squares, and sit back and watch as the world and the beautiful people pass by. In the evening, take a trip to the foodie heaven of Trastevere, and taste the delights of Italian cooking in one of its traditional tavernas, just like Nonna used to make!
