Rome

Rome remains one of the most important cities in the world for history, culture, and food. The ancient sites of one of the world’s greatest civilisations will humble you with their greatness, and the taste of the cuisine will be forever etched in your memory.

Of course, the most well-known and unmissable attractions in Rome are those of the ancient city. The Colosseum, Pantheon, Roman Forum, The Palatino, and Campidoglio (Capitoline Hill) are by no means the only ones to see, but they’re definitely the ones not to miss.

Then of course there is the (technically a different country) Vatican. Regardless of whether you’re a member of the Catholic faith you will be wowed by the Pope’s home. From the most breath-taking church in the world – St Peter’s Basilica – to possibly the most famous ceiling in the world – Michelangelo’s painting of the Sistine Chapel – and the treasures of the Vatican Museums, you will be blown away by how much beauty can be packed in to one tiny area.

Enjoy the best pasta of your life then finish it off by licking a traditional gelati whilst you visit the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain.
