City walks in Rome

With almost 3,000 years, Italy's capital city looks back on a rich history. Ancient buildings, museums, works of art, but also restaurants and cafés characterise the cityscape. St. Peter's Basilica, the Roman Forum and the Colosseum from the ancient Roman Empire are among the world's most famous sights. From antiquity and the Renaissance to the present day, you will find many architectural highlights in the Eternal City. If you explore Rome on your own, you will often encounter them unexpectedly.

For those who prefer to indulge in the pleasures of Rome, they will certainly not be disappointed. The cobbled streets of the Eternal City offer many an epicurean treat. You can get the Italian classic pizza in different variations in almost every restaurant. If you want to delve deeper into the cuisine, look for delicacies such as Carciofi alla Giudìa or Suppli. A gelato rounds off your gourmet experience. The best way to enjoy Rome's culinary experiences is on a city tour.
