Chronicles of Rome
Rome is a city with a rich history dating back to 753 BC, when it was founded by Romulus and Remus. Over the centuries, the city has been ruled by the Etruscans, the Romans, the Goths, and the Holy Roman Empire. Today, Rome is a cosmopolitan city with a unique blend of ancient and modern architecture, from the Colosseum to the Castel Sant'Angelo. The city's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its art, architecture, and cuisine, with the Vatican City, an independent city-state within Rome, being a major draw for visitors. Rome's history is a testament to its enduring influence on Western culture.
Best Time to Visit
Full Rome guide →Best months
The ideal months to visit Rome are May and June, as the weather is pleasant, with average highs of 25°C, and the crowds are smaller than in the peak summer months. September is also a great option, with warm weather and fewer tourists.
Peak / festival surge
July is the peak tourist month in Rome, with the city hosting the Rock in Roma festival, a major rock music event that attracts thousands of visitors. Hotel prices soar during this month, and it's essential to book well in advance. The high season also means larger crowds at popular attractions like the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums.
Budget shoulder season
April and November are the best budget shoulder months, with mild weather and fewer tourists. These months offer discounts on hotel prices and a more relaxed atmosphere, making them ideal for those on a budget.
Weather & packing
Rome's climate is known for its unpredictable rain showers, so it's essential to pack an umbrella or a waterproof jacket. Be prepared for sudden heatwaves in the summer, and pack lightweight, breathable clothing for warm weather.

Your Perfect Room

Top Attractions in Rome
💡 Go at 8.30am just after opening to avoid 45-minute queues. Mass at 9am is a quieter way in.
💡 Skip the main Piazza Trilussa at night—packed with tourists. Instead walk up Via della Scala to Via dell'Arco di San Calisto for good wine bars and fewer crowds.
💡 Take a book and a sandwich to the Giardino degli Aranci across the road at sunset—the view over the dome is better than any rooftop bar.
💡 Book tickets online at least 72 hours ahead — the Colosseum is one of the most visited sites in the world and same-day tickets are rarely available. The Forum–Palatine side entrance on Via Sacra has shorter queues.
💡 The natural spring in the lowest level can make steps slippery. Wear sturdy shoes and bring a small torch to read the dark inscriptions.
💡 Book online to skip the queue — the combined ticket includes the Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Best visited early morning before tour groups arrive. The elevated view from the Capitoline Hill gives the best overview of the Forum.
💡 Buy a combined ticket for €12 to also see the Musei Capitolini within two days. The cafeteria has cheap coffee and a terrace overlooked by a 4-metre turbine.
