All roads lead to Rome!
For thousands of years, merchants and
pilgrims and now tourists have wended their way towards the city built
on the seven hills on the Tiber.
Rome wasn’t built in a day! Rome has unarguably the richest, fullest
history of any city 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. All this while incorporating some of the finest surviving
architecture in the world.
When in Rome!. 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 holiday even if you don't see a single
ruin or statue!.
Renowned for its stunning art and architecture, chaotic traffic,
frenetic lifestyle and the happy-go-lucky attitude of its people, Rome
is a city like no other.
A living museum 2,500 years in the making, the city well deserves the
nickname "the Eternal City".
Roman Holiday or Angels and Demons?. Retrace Audrey Hepburn’s steps
around the Forum to the Spanish steps and throw a coin in the Trevi
Fountain. Be amazed by Berninis magnificent piazza in front of St Peters
tracing the route to the Pantheon via Piazza Navona, Castel St Angelo
and Piazza del Popolo following Robert Langdon's clues in Angels and
Demons. Stand in the Forum and imagine the sight of the legions marching
through on the way to conquer Europe and turn to the Victor Emmanuel II
monument to see the modern day equivalent of Roman Architecture.
La Dolce Vita! From small noisy rooms where you can concentrate on
steaming plates of pasta, to designer spaces for seeing and being seen!.
Rome's restaurants probably out number any other type of business in the
city. From Roof Top grandeur over looking the Colosseum to the tavernas
in Trastevere you’ll experience food as it was intended. Come early
evening all over Rome the old streets come alive with the clatter of
service young and old alike spending a relaxing evening over traditional
and modern Roman fayre.
To experience life at its best there really is no place like Rome!
