Rome – The Eternal City

Rome, The Eternal City, is a living archive where the grandeur of antiquity and modern Italian daily life coexist side by side. The city is an open-air museum with over 2,000 years of history visible in everything from the ruins of the Roman Forum to monumental triumphal arches and imperial palaces. The Colosseum still dominates the cityscape, bearing witness to the Roman Empire's power, gladiatorial battles, and dramatic stories that have shaped Europe's history. In Vatican City, some of the world's most iconic artworks converge – St. Peter's Basilica with Michelangelo's dome, the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, and the unrivaled collections of the Vatican Museums make the area an absolute highlight. Across the Tiber lies Trastevere, where Rome reveals its more intimate and local side with winding cobblestone streets, laundry hanging between houses, and small piazzas brimming with life after sunset. Here, Romans gather over a glass of wine and classic dishes like cacio e pepe and amatriciana. Rome is experienced as much with the senses as with the eyes – the sound of fountains, the aroma of coffee at the bar, and the feeling that history is never far away.
