Rome
The Eternal City delivers ancient history, extraordinary food, and a pace of life that makes every hour feel unhurried.
About Rome
Rome is one of the world's great walking cities. Over three thousand years of history sit side-by-side with thriving neighbourhoods, world-class restaurants, and some of the finest museums anywhere in Europe.
Unlike many European capitals, Rome rewards slow travel — the longer you stay, the more the city reveals itself. Plan five nights at a minimum; seven gives you room to breathe.
Sandra recommends staying in the Trastevere or Prati neighbourhoods for a more local feel — close to everything, but quieter than the tourist-dense historic centre.

Luv to Travel Insider Tips
Book Vatican early-access tickets at least six weeks ahead — they sell out by March for the April–October season.
The best gelato in Rome is not in the tourist centre. Walk ten minutes from any major sight and the price halves, the quality doubles.
If your schedule allows one extra night, spend it outside the city in Frascati or Tivoli — day-trippers never see this side of the region.
