Often called the Eternal City, Rome stands alone as Italy's most visited destination. The third most populated city in the European Union, Rome boasts ancient sites, yet has a modern flair — an exhilarating mix of the Old World and the new.
Rome's must-see attractions include the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, and St. Peter's Basilica. Of course, within the city limits of Rome lies an independent country: Vatican City, the Roman Catholic Church headquarters and the only current example of a country inside a city.
Did you know Rome is home to over 2,000 fountains?
Ranging from grand masterpieces to small, tucked-away drinking fountains known as nasoni, there’s beauty (and a photo op) around every corner. It’s one of the many reasons the city feels so alive!
With its Renaissance architecture, ancient ruins, and works by Michelangelo, Rome is a vibrant destination offering spectacular examples of human achievement. Visitors wandering through this glorious city have so much to discover!

Colosseum
This iconic, ancient arena was once the domain of gladiators. Nearly 7 million people per year visit the Colosseum to enjoy the history of this famous arena, as well as to enjoy panoramic views of the Eternal City from the 110-foot high upper seats.
St. Peter's Basilica
The largest Christian basilica in the world.

Pantheon
Previously a Roman temple, Pantheon is a Catholic church with historic tombs and is one of the most well-preserved buildings in Rome. Often called the "temple of all the gods", it's an example of ancient Roman engineering and design since its construction in 126 AD.
Trevi Fountain
A sculpted fountain dating back to the 18th century. Legend has it that if you throw a coin into Trevi Fountain, it will guarantee that you will return to Rome. This tradition goes back to the ancient Romans, who believed if they threw a coin into water, the water gods would ensure their safe journey home.

Roman Forum
This historic piazza was the social center of Rome for more than 1,200 years. The Roman Forum has been referred to as the most celebrated meeting place in the world, in all of history.
Piazza Farnese
Did you know that the two fountains in the center of Piazza Farnese in Rome are made from granite bathtubs taken from the ancient Baths of Caracalla?
Transportation
For transportation into Rome from Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO), the Leonardo Express train is a widely-recommended non-stop service between FCO and Rome Termini (the main station). Trains leave every half hour, and the trip takes 32 minutes.
Rome has an extensive underground railway system that will get visitors to several major attractions. The Roman Metro has three lines - A, B and C. The metro system is reasonably-priced and quick, and metro maps are easy to navigate.
Rome also has trams and buses that visitors are well-advised to use; as it's a large city, trying to see everything by walking is not possible.
Other Popular Destinations in Italy
Welcome to Venice, with its network of canals, rich history and composition of over 100 small islands in the Adriatic Sea. Fine art, stunning architecture, white limestone bridges, moving about via watercraft... Venice is a singular experience and an astonishing masterpiece of civilization.
This pleasant port town provides a nice, calmer contrast to bustling Rome, so travelers are advised to not simply pass through, but linger and discover more of Civitavecchia. Explore Forte Michelangelo, shop at Corso Centocelle, see the neoclassical Trajan Theatre, and delve into the therapeutic Taurine Baths of Civitavecchia.
