The Eternal City, where three thousand years of history live alongside vibrant modern life. The Colosseum, the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain and extraordinary cuisine make Rome one of the most beloved destinations in the world.
Below Rome's street level hides another city: early Christian catacombs, Roman mithraea, double churches and thousand-year-old aqueducts that few tourists know.
Beyond the panoramic terraces and the dome of St Peter's, Rome hides terraces and viewpoints little known to tourists that offer breathtaking views over the city.
From Campo de' Fiori to Testaccio, by way of Porta Portese: Rome's markets are an authentic slice of city life, with fresh produce, street food and antiques.
