Ancient history can be found around every corner. The Coliseum should be at the
top of your list. The theatre, which held up to 55,000 people, was where the
gladiators fought to the death on many occasion. Men still dress in gladiator
costumes for visitors to see. The Pantheon is also a must see attraction. The
fantastic dome inside is awe-inspiring. Built between AD 118-125, the Pantheon
has had thousands of visitors pass through its doors. This attraction also has
free admission which is a plus.
For the art lovers, there are plenty of museums to keep you busy admiring
famous pieces of art and history. The National Roman Museum has several
locations you can visit. Here you can view some of Rome's finest relics,
including statues, sarcophagi, jewellery coins and hundreds of other displays.
The National Gallery of Modern Art is home to 19th and 20th century art
including that of Renoir, Van Gogh, and Goya.
The Vatican City is where you will see St. Peter's Basilica. One of the most
important of the Catholic churches and the home of the Pope, the interior will
dazzle you. Decorated with gold, marble and bronze, it is a beautiful sight to
see. Michelangelo's Pieta is the highlight for many visitors. The Sistine
Chapel, adjacent to the Basilica, was built in 1475. The Pope's chapel is a
fantastic place to unwind, pray and gaze in wonder at one of Michelangelo's
most famous works on the ceiling. The wall frescoes are not to be missed so
take time out from the spectacular ceiling to check them out.
One of Rome's most popular free attractions is the Trevi fountain. Completed in
1762, the marble fountain is adorned with seahorses, mermen, and cascading
pools. The sea God Neptune oversees all. Legend has it that throwing a coin
into the fountain will guarantee you a return trip to Rome.
For those wanting to savour the food in Rome, Montecarlo, located near the
Piazza Navona, has the most mouth-watering pizza you could want. If classic
Rome is what you desire in a restaurant, Antica Pesa is what you seek. Romantic
Italian dining at its finest. And for traditional Roman cuisine, Maccheroni has
Italian specialties, and Italy's finest wines.
When planning your trip and seeking out cheap flights Rome has what you are
searching for.
