Chronicles of Rome
Rome was founded in 753 BC by Romulus and Remus, making it one of the world's oldest continuously occupied cities. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its rich history, with ancient ruins like the Colosseum and Roman Forum standing alongside Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces like the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona. Contemporary Rome is a vibrant cultural hub, with world-class museums like the Vatican Museums and National Etruscan Museum showcasing its artistic and historical heritage. Rome's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its Catholic faith, with the Pope's residence in the Vatican City a prominent symbol of the city's significance. Today, Rome is a cosmopolitan city, with a thriving food scene, lively markets, and a passion for la dolce vita.

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.
