Rome is the capital city of the Lazio region and of Italy. The city is built on the River Tiber on the Seven Hills of Rome - the Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, Palatine, Aventine, and Caelian. From the 6th century it has been the centre for Christianity

PLACES TO SEE

St Peter`s Cathedral - No matter what your beliefs it is still an amazing sight to see. Remember to dress appropriately. No shorts or strappy tops.

The Colosseum - Imagine the days of gladiatorial fighting with the Christians thrown amongst the lions. If you`ve seen the film Gladiator, you can imagine the occurrences within the arena.

The Trevi Fountain - The fountain has been world famous by the Fellini film La Dolce Vita. It is one of the most famous spots in Rome. Legend has it that whoever throws a coin into the fountain will one day return to Rome.

Castel Sant`Angelo - Emperor Hadrian had it built in 130 A.D. as his mausoleum.

There are many more sights well worth visiting in the city, these are just a few.

EATING OUT

There are a wide variety of restaurants to eat in. Choose a place with Italians eating. They certainly know the best places. The best option value wise is to choose the set menu.

GETTING AROUND

There is a very good underground network though you will probably choose to go on foot so that you can see everything.

The best time to visit the city is in the spring months or autumn months. The heat can be unbearable in the height of summer.
