About Rome
Rome is a charismatic blend of ancient ruins, awe-inspiring art, and vibrant street life spanning almost three millennia of history. Recognized for iconic landmarks like the Colosseum—built between 70 and 80 AD—the Trevi Fountain, and the Vatican, the city boasts immense historical wealth alongside sprawling parks like Villa Borghese. Beyond major monuments, visitors can explore distinct historic areas such as the Testaccio district or the architectural mix of the Coppedé Quarter. The Italian capital is also famed for its rich food culture, defined by classic dishes like pasta alla carbonara, cacio e pepe, and saltimbocca alla romana.
When to go
Rome is at its best in spring or autumn for ruins, food and walkable neighbourhoods.
The best times to visit Rome are the shoulder seasons between Easter and June, as well as September to November, offering mild weather and comfortable sightseeing. Early autumn brings the historic Ottobrata Romana, while film lovers can enjoy the Rome Film Fest during October. Summers from June to August bring oppressive heat, though visitors can catch al fresco opera performances at the 3rd-century Terme di Caracalla. For those seeking fewer crowds and great prices on hotels, the post-holiday period in January and February is ideal for exploring museums without long queues.
