It’s so easy to fall in love with
Rome, the fabled
Eternal City. No
other city has been the focal point of the
world for such a long period of time and few
have such a long and turbulent history as
has Roma. Lavished with architectural
jewellery from republican to imperial to
early-Christian to medieval to renaissance
to baroque to modern times by history's
greatest artists. Rome has also experienced
sieges and raids that left their scars; but
each time the Eternal City recovered from
her injuries in glorious form.
Be certain not to miss the Trevi Fountain,
the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Piazza del
Popolo, the Pantheon, the Colosseum and the
Forum Romanum. Be sure to visit a few of her
world-famous churches, such as San Giovanni
in Laterano and Sta. Maria Maggiore; and the
Vatican, which features the incredibly huge
St. Peter's Basilica. Shop along its
magnificent streets, eat absolutely
wonderful Italian meals and always leave
room for gelato, the Italian ice-cream.
