city breaks

Rome stands out against other European cities wealthy in ancient remnants which can be easily visited by travellers; it has distinguished itself as home to some of the grandest, most well-preserved and awe-inspiring feats of historic European civilisations. Not only does it have these, but the combination of these ancient Roman structures strewn throughout the city with the vivacious activity and personality of the shops and restaurants give the city that scintillating atmosphere which brings back the same travellers again and again. Short term Rome Rentals are all you need for the perfect tour around the Rome Culture, essential for anyone travelling around Europe. Roman Sights First, you'll probably make your way through the most popular ancient ruins, from the Colosseum, to the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the Piazza Navona through to the Spanish Steps, all which are within walking distance from each other. Of course you'll be stopping along the way at some of the many Piazzas and countless ice cream shops, allegedly selling some of the world's best ice cream. The Colosseum dominates the area it surrounds with three monumental stories of superimposed arcades around its entire façade. Inside, it is just as impressive, with different tiers for different wealth classes being still in-tact, and the two-level subterranean network of tunnels and cages for the gladiators known as the hypogeum is fully visible, as the arena floor has long since disintegrated. The Pantheon is another must-see; a temple to all the gods of ancient Rome and fronted by ranks of gigantic, superb granite Corinthian columns, which by themselves are enough to dazzle any traveller. The dome has a central spherical opening, allowing the Roman sun to blaze into a small area inside the temple, acting in a sundial fashion and giving enough light to marvel at the images and statues of the gods and the unique ceiling of sunken panels. Explore the Culture The Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona and Spanish Steps are further exhibitions of Rome's glorious past, and the many piazzas and cobbled, winding and cosy streets are the perfect places to explore the commercial side of the city. The piazzas are full of Roman artists showing off their art for visitors to purchase, the shops providing a unique array of quality clothes, crafts, jewellery and food and the restaurants and cafes provide the opportunity to have a luxurious meal or drink in the fantastic setting of the Trevi Fountain or Pantheon, or to enjoy a cheap and tasty pizza. The best ice-cream in the world has been reported to be found at the Gelato di San Crispino, right next to the Trevi Fountain. Other incredible sights which by far surpass the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps include the Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, the San Giovanni in Laterano and many other churches and cathedrals scattered throughout the city. The abundance of these astounding buildings truly make this an ancient city brought to life. With plenty of nightlife, exhibitions and events to make any trip to Rome unique, this is a city which never fails to astound. Book your Rome City Break now and start planning your trip!
