It has managed to harmoniously combine its historic center and keep it alive over the years and this is one of the key elements that enchant the visitor.
Rome is easy to get around on foot but also has means of transport that will make your trip even more comfortable. But we suggest you walk it, get lost in its alleys, taste its delicacies and smell its genuine aromas.
Historical center
For its historic center, there is probably no need for introductions as it gathers famous squares, sights and many fountains. The Colosseo located at its southeastern end takes you back to the classical era with the epic duels that took place back then. Continuing, at Foro Romano & Palatino in today‘s Roman Forum which is a large area with ruins of marble structures, columns and floor plans. On the hill of the Capitol located next to the Roman forum are the 3 imposing buildings the Palazzo Senatorio, the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo and in front of them is the famous Piazza Venezia, which through the via del Corso is connected to the historic Piazza del Popolo in a series of shops, churches, monuments and picturesque buildings. In the middle of this route you will also find the famous steps of Piazza di Spagna, a meeting point and flirting, since the young Romans used to offer roses to the girls sitting on the steps, the Pantheon the famous temple that is dedicated to all the Gods and is considered an architectural “miracle“ that even today its geometry impresses. Also you should not miss visiting the Fontana di Trevi throw a coin and make a wish! The Italians say that with a coin you return to the eternal city.
