City Spotlight: ROME
CULTURE: Art and history are woven through the entire city of Rome. Called the “Eternal City” by the ancient Romans, it was believed that Rome would last forever - and it certainly has stood the test of time! The Italian capital’s impressive monuments and colossal remains attracts tens of millions of tourists every year.
ACCOMMODATIONS: Basic hotels close to the most popular attractions run $150-$200/night, while 4-and 5-star hotels in the heart of the city average $300+/night. Rome’s public transportation system is affordable and user-friendly - making it easy save money staying further out and still accessing top tourist stops.
WHEN TO VISIT: The best time to visit Rome is in the spring or fall, when temperatures are ideal for walking tours. Summers are very hot and crowded with lots of visitors.
WHY VISIT: Rome is one of the most popular cities in the world, with unparalleled art and history around every corner. The city is brimming with beauty and religion - from The Vatican and the Sistine Chapel to the Pantheon, Colosseum and so much more. And a visit to any city in Italy wouldn’t be complete without trying as much pasta, wine and gelato as possible. Situated in the middle of the country, Rome is a popular base for day trips to Naples, Pompeii or Tuscany - and can easily be enjoyed during a tour of other major Italian cities.
