Rome city breaks
From the Romans to the Renaissance, Rome has played a starring role in many mega moments in time. It's also the reason behind its extensive fine collection of ancient sites and artistic masterpieces. Long known as the 'Eternal City', a Rome holiday is certain to leave a lasting impression on you.
Explore classical Rome
Be transported back in time to the days of ‘Gladiator’ when you visit Rome’s epic monuments. Go to the Colosseum and imagine what it was like standing in the arena and hearing the roar of the crowd. Or follow in Julius Caesar’s tracks when you stroll around the magnificent marble Pantheon and Roman Forum.
Hang out in a piazza
Soak up the atmosphere as you sip an espresso in one of the city’s squares. Hang out in Piazza Navona and you’ll be entertained by street performers while you admire the ornate buildings and fountains. The Piazza di Spagna has the Spanish Steps at the top – the perfect place for a photo op.
Visit the Vatican City
The smallest state in the world is in the heart of Rome and packed with must-sees. St Peter’s Basilica and St Peter’s Square, where the Pope holds his audiences, is here. So is Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel with its fabulous frescoes. You can enjoy peace and quiet in the cool greenery of the gardens.

Rome City Breaks
From the awe-inspiring setting of St Peter’s Basilica to the iconic sight of the Colosseum dominating the skyline, there's nothing quite like the culture-rich experience of Rome. While a short weekend break might not be enough to see it all, a Rome city break gives you a glimpse into the glorious golden age of classical Rome and the Vatican City with the Sistine Chapel. So enjoy a slice of life at the fabulous restaurants in the original 'City of Love'.
Eating and drinking
The quieter, less travelled streets of the Trastevere district allow you to try Roman delicacies such as bruschetta and spaghetti carbonara in atmospheric surroundings. You’ll also find fine dining restaurants clustered around the Via Nazionale and Via Veneto, serving delights like the crisp white wines of Lazio and artichokes soaked in fragrant olive oil.

Shopping
A classy shopping destination, Rome’s most upmarket area for fashion is the Piazza Spagna at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Via del Corso is also a central street featuring international brands in the historic centre of Rome. Alternatively, Campo de Fiore is the city’s oldest market, offering an array of fresh produce and souvenirs.

Getting around
Rome’s Metropolitana system is well developed and travels around all of the main sights. It’s well worth considering a Roma Pass too – this includes free admission to attractions, along with access to public transport. You can also hop on the city’s electric buses, with six different tramlines to take you through the narrow streets.
