Rome Overview

The history of Rome spans 2,800 years of the existence of a city that grew from a small Italian village in the 9th century BC into the centre of a vast civilisation that dominated the Mediterranean region for centuries. Its political power was eventually replaced by that of peoples of mostly Germanic origin, marking the beginning of the Middle Ages. Rome became the seat of the Roman Catholic Church and the home of a sovereign state, the Vatican City. Today it is the capital of Italy, and the country's largest and most populated city and commune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1,285.3 km2.

An international worldwide political and cultural centre, Rome, is the only city in the world to host an entire foreign state within its confines, the enclave of the Vatican City, and it is for this reason that it is often referred to as the capital of two States.

Rome, the city, contains the highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world. Its historical centre, outlined by the enclosing Aurelian Walls, layers nearly three thousand years of antiquity. It is an invaluable testimony to the European western world’s cultural, artistic and historical legacy and in 1980, together with the Holy See’s property and the St. Paul Basilica Outside the Walls, was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Don´t stay just in Rome but rent a car and go out of the city. The whole Lazio is full of many places value to visit. E.g. town TIVOLI is a real treasure. There are 3 historical fabulous "villas" (parks) - Villa Gregoriana with waterfalls, Villa d´Este and villa Adriana. It is possible to go there also by bus from metro station Ponte Mamolo.
Then very remarkable place is the ETRUSCAN cemetery from 9th to 1st century BC located near town CERVETERY.
Also monastery San Benedetto built in the rocks in town Subiaco is something amazing and special what you should see.

I love Rome! It isn´t a good city for living (very crowded, noisy, chaotical) but for 100% it is a paradise for lovers of a history. You can go there many times and you will always discover something new. Just be careful at the railway station Termini, there are a lot of strange people - pickpokets.

I live nearby Roma, so partially, at least, I should know the city. I thought what I could add with my comments. The first thing I thought about is food, these are my suggestions...
In Italy you, IMHO, will find the best food in world any many many pleasant surprises. But not in Rome, so you need to be carefull about your choises.My point is the Roma is too turistic, therefore the everage trattoria and restaurants offer very basic food in particular close to the main turistic places. Spaghetti alla bolognese are something that a real roman never ever will order in Roma.
I was never pleasantly surprised by a restaurant which I did not know or was not reccomanded to me. So my strong suggestion to you is to rearch for suggestions and opinions.
That's also why this BTF site is doing a great job by collection opinions and suggestions about food in the main cities. In Roma there are also many good pizzerias and trattoria, do not get me wrong, but study before you go. The offer is so big that chances you are lucky are minimal.
All the places listed here are good places, I know most of them, please add more to the list.....

In my opinion it's one of the nicest cities which I have seen! Their historical monuments, buildings etc were simply charming. I fully recommend to visit fontaine Di Trevi and Coloseum. It's full of people everytime but so amazing!

Food? I love Italian food, so for it was like a paradise!

Don't wait and go to buy your flight tickets to Roma. You woun't regret!

Rome is great! and its history is so strong everywhere that also today if you go there in middle season, you can easy imagine to be 2000 years in the past even if many cars could be around you. A week in Rome is a must!
