There is a certain romanticism that has been associated with the city of Rome ever since Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck zipped through its streets aboard a Vespa in the memorable film,.
That same romanticism still exists today as the city has evolved into a wonderful sun-drenched metropolis buzzing with Italian passion and culture. While there are many things to see and do in Rome, there are two things in particular that you should try not to miss.
The food:
While there are many restaurants and trattorias offering the ‘authentic’ Italian experience, some of the best dining experiences in Rome can be found away from the tourist hubs in unassuming locales in the tiny backstreets of the city. A sign that it’s a great place to eat is if the locale is filled with Italians!
The architecture:
Within the streets of Rome lie some of the world’s most iconic feats of architecture. From The Colosseum and the Pantheon to the Trevi Fountain and the Mouth of Truth, a walking tour of Rome’s architecture is a great way to experience fascinating journey through history.

Be very careful of thieves in Rome. They are quicker and more clever than you can believe. Our holiday there was totally spoilt after a robbery of hand luggage in the train station.
