Things to do in Rome

Not far off is the Roman Forum, what remains of the financial, religious and political center of ancient Rome, the heart of the urban complex of the Imperial Forums, which extended between the Capitoline Hill and the Quirinal. A city with beautiful gardens and ancient aristocratic villas, like the Villa Borghese, Rome is also famous for its monumental fountains, real architectural gems. The most famous is the Trevi Fountain, in rococo style, that is known for being the setting of the most famous scene of 'La dolce vita', classic italian movie by Federico Fellini. Do not forget to throw a coin into this fountain. Legend has it that this will assure your return to the "eternal city"! Don't miss the Baroque Fountain of the Four Rivers, one of the greatest masterpieces of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, located in the heart of Piazza Navona, elegant meeting point in the evening. Piazza di Spagna is also very crowded and popular, with its Spanish Steps. Capital with beautiful churches, Rome includes the Vatican City, the cradle of Catholic Christianity. Its masterpiece is the imposing St. Peter's Basilica, whose dome, designed by Michelangelo, overlooks the whole of Rome. Michelangelo also signed the famous frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, the conclave for the Pope's election. The heart of nightlife in this pleasure-seeking city is Trastevere, a former working-class district on the west bank of the Tiber River, a beautiful and lively maze of narrow streets and trendy bars.
