You’ll find a dizzying array of historic basilicas, cathedrals, beautiful palaces, ancient ruins, statues, sculptures, and fountains to explore. Soak up the cosmpolitan atmosphere and sip an espresso at the famous Piazza Navona, and for nightlife start your journey at the Spanish Steps Church. As well as its famously iconic sights, Rome also serves up plenty of essential experiences, like sampling the fantastic cuisine, exquisite wines and spending an afternoon (or two) visiting the city’s incredible fashion stores.

Drive Around Rome

All roads may lead to Rome, but once you get there you might start to wish they all led out of there. Rome isn’t the easiest city to drive in, with so many ancient narrow streets winding their way around seemingly endlessly, and some pretty colourful language from local drivers along the way. Non-locals aren’t allowed to drive in the historical city centre (which is probably for the best!) so remember to park outwith this area to avoid a penalty. Umbria, Lazio, Tuscany and Naples are all within easy reach by hire car if you’re looking for a bit of escape from the hustle and bustle of the city too.
