Rome is Italy’s capital, a city of roughly 2.8 million people with origins traditionally dated to 753 BC and a historic centre recognised by UNESCO. Classical landmarks—the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Palatine and the still-majestic Pantheon—sit alongside Baroque showpieces such as Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, while across the Tiber, Vatican City concentrates St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. Neighbourhoods like Trastevere and Monti mix trattorie, wine bars and late cafés with cobbled lanes and small churches; big-hit museums include the Capitoline Museums and the Galleria Borghese. Getting in and around is straightforward via Roma Termini’s rail hub, the Metro (A/B/C) and buses/trams; international access is through Fiumicino (FCO) and Ciampino (CIA).
