Day1
Rome
Welcome to Rome!

According to legend, Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC. Rome first was the center of the Roman Republic, then of the Roman Empire, until finally, it became the capital of the Christian world in the 4th century. Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here.

Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches and the treasures of Vatican City strive for your attention. Apart from enjoying the history, perhaps your most memorable experiences in Rome may include sitting at a café in the Campo de Fiori or strolling in a charming piazza. Rome has a vibrant energy, which makes you think that this city is extremely large. Just keep walking around. Eventually, you’ll realize that Rome is not quite as big as you thought. Everyone knows everyone. If you visit the same places and piazzas a few times, you’ll find that they know you, too.

This is Rome, where anything goes, with beautiful chaos and contradictions.
