Rome accommodation, flights and sightseeing

Rome was once the centre of an empire that stretched from the Iberian Peninsular in the west to Mesopotamia in the east, and from North Africa to Northern England and is one of the best-known cities in the world.

The city is hugely popular as a tourist destination, with history, ruins, monuments and art treasures to satisfy the most avid sightseer. Rome was not built in a day, and any visitor to the city will find that a day is certainly not enough time to appreciate its sights more than superficially.

The classical city shows why the Roman's were famed for their architecture, with many structures standing in whole or in part, and make you wonder how many of today's architects constructions will be standing in two thousand years. In addition to Rome itself, the city-state of The Vatican lies to the west of the Tiber and serves as both a tourist destination as well as a place of pilgrimage.

While taking a rest from the culture on show in the city, visitors to Rome can choose to enjoy a quick shot of espresso in one of the numerous piazzas, or enjoy some of the Italian cuisine. Italy is of course home to pizza and pasta and renowned for its ice cream and although Milan is Italy's fashion centre, Romans match the rest of Italy for flair, exuberance and dress sense.
