Visit Rome, the Italian capital elected as a UNESCO World Heritage site. With its great beauty, Rome is one of the most visited cities in the world. A weekend in Rome offers numerous must-see destinations, including the Imperial Forums and the Colosseum, which evoke the glorious Roman era. The Vatican City also attracts tourists from around the world with the Basilica of St. Peter and the Vatican Museums, where masterpieces such as Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel can be admired. Don't forget to take a walk in the historic center to visit the monument of the Pantheon, which you can marvel at for free, and make a stop at the Trevi Fountain, which has been restored thanks to investments from the historic Italian fashion house Fendi.
If you want to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city, climb up Gianicolo. Here you can admire the rooftops of Rome and enjoy a spectacular panorama. To truly experience Roman life, visit the Testaccio neighborhood, frequented by locals, or seek out the hidden gems of the Coppedè neighborhood or the charming Orange Garden. In the evening, I recommend getting lost in the narrow streets of Monti and taking a break in one of the osterie (traditional eateries) in Trastevere to savor the authentic atmosphere of the city.
Rome is also an ideal shopping destination. Around the Spanish Steps, you will find some of the most beautiful streets in the world, such as via Condotti and via del Babuino, where you can purchase luxury items Made in Italy, such as Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada. If you prefer the best of international chains, Via del Corso is a true shopping mecca, stretching from Piazza Venezia to Piazzale Flaminio.
When it comes to food, Rome never disappoints. Here you can taste typical dishes from the Lazio region, such as cacio e pepe or amatriciana, which will make you fall in love with authentic flavors. If you want to try authentic Jewish cuisine, I recommend visiting the Ghetto neighborhood. For trendy and fashionable venues, as well as affordable dinners in trattorias, the neighborhoods of Pigneto and San Lorenzo, or the new area between Garbatella and Ostiense, offer a wide selection, from good wine from the Castelli Romani to Japanese sushi.
Rome is also a city that hosts major events. Don't miss the opening of the extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy on December 8th, as desired by Pope Francesco. Taking the train to Rome to attend papal audiences will be the right choice.
To reach Rome conveniently and quickly, I recommend choosing Italo train. Italo offers a high-quality service with modern and comfortable trains that will allow you to reach the city with ease. Book your Italo ticket now and get ready to live an unforgettable experience in Rome!"
