Rome is one of the few cites in the world where you could stay a week and still not see everything you wanted. This marvelous city is amongst the finest in Europe and can be enjoyed at any time of year. Take a look at a few ideas for recommended things to do in the Italian city of Rome:

Colosseum

The Colosseum is one of Europe's greatest buildings. Built in AD 72, the Colosseum hosted battles between gladiators, slaves, and often wild animals. Much of the amazing building still stands today. Once inside you get a real feel for what it must've been like all those years ago when men fought to the death. One of Rome's most visited attractions and clearly not to be missed.


Trevi Fountain

Built in 1762 the Trevi Fountain is one of Rome' most celebrated attractions. Tucked away in a tiny square the fountain is a beautiful sight despite the heaving crowds that surround it. Remember to toss a coin to ensure your return to the Eternal City.


Piazza di Spagna & Spanish Steps

Piazza di Spagna and its famous Spanish Steps is another of Rome's most visited areas. This highly popular part of the city is a great meeting place for locals and tourists alike. The lovely Spanish Steps take you up to the church of Trinità dei Monti which offers terrific views across the city.


St Peter’s Basilica and Sistine Chapel

The Vatican is spectacular place to visit and the highlights of this unique world have to be St Peter’s Basilica and Sistine Chapel.
The world famous Michelangelo painted ceiling is one of the most beautiful pieces or art you will ever see. Although it can become unbearably busy at times, this is still a magical experience for both young and old alike.
