Rome arguably has one of the fullest and richest histories of any city on the planet. The Eternal City has something to offer everyone: the food, the culture, the ambience and the surrounding scenery make a great first stop for any Italian vacation.

History
Rome is not only the capital but also the religious, architectural, and artistic center of Italy. Over two thousand years of history are waiting to be explored in and around Rome. Explore the famous Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Castle Sant'Angelo, or the Catacombs of San Callisto, you really can't go wrong.

Recreation
The elegant Roman street Via Giulia is occasionally the site of art shows and special evenings. At such times antique shops and art galleries remain open late into the evening, offering refreshments to visitors.

Food and Drink
Roman cooking is not excessively sophisticated but it is among the most flavorful in Italy. The Ristorante Cesare is a fine choice for Roman and Tuscan cuisine or Ristorante Ciao Bella, which offers grilled meat, vegetables, and fresh fish daily.
