Visiting Rome

Rome is not only the capital of Italy but one of the most popular and most visited cities in the country. There is much to see and do here making it an ideal vacation destination. Rome is one of the few cities that has retained much of the glories of medieval Rome as is evidenced in its buildings, especially the museums. There is also an incredible selection of restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs.

Because of the tremendous history surrounding this city, you will want to take advantage of visiting the historic district of Rome. It's small enough to walk around, even though the actual city is quite vast. Some of the most popular historic monuments are the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Catacombs, the Roman Forum, the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch of Constantine, Trajan's Column and Market, and various Basilicas to simply name a few.

There are architecturally wondrous cathedrals to be viewed in Vatican City. You definitely don't want to miss a trip to the Sistine Chapel. Fountains, statues, art galleries, and beautifully landscaped parks are also in abundance. The most famous fountain, Fontana di Trevi has a legend that if you throw a coin in the water over your left shoulder you will be guaranteed to soon return to this lovely city.

Even though there is rich history here, there is also a lot of modern culture to experience as well. Throughout the year various fashion shows are held at the Piazza di Spagna, home of the Spanish Steps (which are used as the catwalk). There is also great shopping to be found here.

The Piazza Navona is another favorite shopping area, especially during the Christmas season. It's known for selling toys, sweets, and Christmas decorations. Fountains, statues, and sculptures are very plentiful in this area. Other shopping areas to check out are Piazza del Popolo, Via del Corso, Trastevere, Porta Portese, Viale Marconi, Piazza Vittorio, and Via del Governo Vecchio.

While naturally the cuisine of choice in Rome would be Italian, there are enough restaurants to choose from that will please any palate. There are also plenty of nightclubs that keep the nightlife in Rome hopping. Some of the most popular are Piper Club, Gilda, BigMama (blues, jazz), Alien Disco Club, and Classico Village (art exhibits, live concerts, very multi-cultural).
