About Rome

Rome is a historic and vibrant capital boasting nearly 3,000 years of history, holding over 16% of the world's cultural heritage within its historic center delimited by the Aurelian Walls. Known as the Capital of Two States, it completely encloses the Vatican City and is home to famous landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. Visitors can explore charming areas like Trastevere with its narrow lanes and bohemian atmosphere, or unusual spots such as the Jewish Ghetto and the Quartiere Coppedè. The city is also rich in green spaces, offering magnificent parks like Villa Borghese and panoramic vistas from the Orange Garden atop Aventino Hill.

When to go

Rome is at its best in spring or autumn for ruins, food and walkable neighbourhoods.

Spring and fall offer mild weather and comfortable sightseeing, while January and February provide the best chance to avoid heavy queues at galleries and museums. Summer brings severe heat and massive crowds to popular landmarks like the Colosseum and St Peter's Square. Visitors in October can experience pleasant daytime temperatures averaging 20°C (68°F), the local tradition of Ottobrata Romana, and events like the Rome Film Fest. Cultural activities take place throughout the year, from Easter celebrations to outdoor summer operas hosted at the Terme di Caracalla.
