Why you'll love it
Rome is Italy's capital, a city where ancient ruins, Renaissance art and everyday life sit side by side. It gets Triptakeo's top score for food and culture, and 9 out of 10 for romance, making it one of the richest city breaks in Europe.
The best time to visit Rome is April to June or September to October, with warm days that suit long walks between sights. Summer is hot and crowded.
The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Pantheon are the essentials, and the Vatican Museums and St Peter's Basilica need a full morning. Book timed entry ahead for the big sights. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, then eat your way through Trastevere and Testaccio, with carbonara, cacio e pepe and gelato.
Rome suits couples, history lovers, food lovers and families.
