The Eternal City, where emperors once walked triumphantly, is an amazing experience in the truest sense of the word. It is a modern city that displays its glorious past with pride and exudes an unforgettable beauty, dynamic contrast and appreciation for life. Whichever way you turn, you're destined to see something that will leave you breathless. You can almost picture the gladiator fights of 2,000 years ago in the magnificent Coliseum. Caesar's orations still echo from the ruins of the Roman Forum. The splendid Pantheon will impress you with its perfectly preserved aura of hushed awe. When visiting the lovely Spanish Steps, a masterpiece of Baroque design, you'll see why the irresistible charm of Rome fills the imaginations of so many admirers. Nestled between the palaces of the historic centers lies the aweinspiring Trevi Fountain, a magnificent jewel of water and stone where travelers join in the curious tradition of tossing coins over their shoulders with hopes of returning to Rome again one day. Exploring the Vatican is another journey unto itself. From the inspiring Sistine Chapel to Michelangelo's stirring Pieta and the majesty of St. Peter's Basilica, you'll leave this place of brilliance with a special appreciation for the wonders of great artistic creation. Venturing to see the fascinating historical treasures will astound you, and keep you wanting more. Beyond these sights that have cultivated this city, lies welcoming locals that encapsulate the spirit, delectable cafés, picturesque streets lined with designer boutiques and artisan shops, and a timeless charm that will be etched into your memory forever.
