Where to stay in Rome (for first-time visitors)

• Piazza Navona and Pantheon – for sightseeing.
• Termini Railway station – for one night.
• Spanish Steps – for a honeymoon.
• Trastevere and Campo de’ Fiori – for nightlife.
• Colosseum – to experience ancient Rome.
• Vatican City – for a more local feel.

For me, Rome is definitely worth visiting. There are so many things to visit in Rome and all the family will find interesting things to do. If you go Off the Tourist Treadmill, the food is delicious and good value for money. The only problem with Rome is the time you spend in queues.

My two cents worth: if you can get a timed entry ticket into the Colosseum, it is well worth entering. If not and the lines are long, don’t miss other things in Rome because you are standing in line to get into the Colosseum.

Rome, the “Eternal City,” brims with ancient history, from the Colosseum to the port of Ostia Antica to majestic Vatican City and the Sistine Chapel. Because of its history, art, architecture, and beauty – and perhaps its gelato and pasta! – Rome is one of our most popular cities.

So no, Rome is not the most overrated place in Italy, it is simply the only place where the italian government thought not unnecessary to offer some kind of services and attractions for tourists, just to give the impression.

Rome is possibly one of the most exciting places to live in Europe. Whilst the city boasts thousands of ancient relics and monuments, it has a young heart – and whilst the attitude to life in Rome is very laid back, the pace of your social life at least may feel quite frenetic.

Rome is famous for having amazing foods such as spaghetti, lasagna, pizza and gelato. This Capital of Italy is well known for historic sites such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and Vatican City. Rome is where the Ancient Romans created systems and structures that we still use to this day.

The best time to visit Rome is from October to April when most of the tourist crowds have dissipated and room rates are lower. Although you’ll need a warm coat, weather this time of year hardly ever dips below freezing.

It was first called The Eternal City (Latin: Urbs Aeterna; Italian: La Città Eterna) by the Roman poet Tibullus in the 1st century BC, and the expression was also taken up by Ovid, Virgil, and Livy. Rome is also called “Caput Mundi” (Capital of the World).

Originally Answered: Why Italy is not named after Rome? Because Latin was an Italic language, the Romans an Italic people but not the only one. Rome also wasn’t the capital in the beginning of united Italy.

Rome is older than Italy The generally accepted date for Rome’s founding is 753 B.C., making the city more than 2,500 years older than the nation of which it is capital.

Rome – synonymous with romance, it’s all in the name. As one local explained to me – if you reverse the word ‘Roma’ (the Italian word for Rome) you get ‘Amor’ – meaning love. And love is something that resonates throughout the entire city.
