Rome is more than a fascinating European capital
city; it is a spectacular encyclopedia of living history. Rome is halfway down
Italy's western coast, about 12 miles inland. It has been said that every road
in Rome leads to eternity. The city is vast, though the historic center is quite
small. The whole experience of Rome is so powerful as to be almost overwhelming
at times. The best way to prepare for a visit is to study a little of the
history of the region, to be as well rested as possible, and to arrange an
itinerary that allows time to explore, rest, and reflect on the magnificence of
it all.
There is a steady stream of spectacular festivals, exhibits and
events for the whole family.
Guided walking tours and bus
tours for every energy level and budget provide great assistance in becoming
acquainted with the past and present of this amazing city. Rome is a city in
which it is recommended that driving and walking anywhere near areas of traffic
be avoided if possible. The streets are extremely congested, and drivers are
not considered to be responsible for watching out for pedestrians. The public
transportation is excellent and offers the convenience of buses and subways at
a nominal cost.
Whether the visitor is seeking a quiet, romantic café on the Campo de' Fiori;
a fast food McDonald's with air conditioning on the Piazza della Repubblica or
a cozyand intimate family operated restaurant with one or two exquisitely
prepared selections of the day on the Piazza Santa Maria, there is great food
for every taste.
