Rome

Welcome to Rome! Rome has many interesting things that make it worth a visit. Rome constitutes one of Italy's 8,101 communes, and is the largest both in terms of land area and population.

In Rome, summer's season lasts about 6 months, from May to October. April and November are transitional months, and  December until March are the really coldest months.

Same as the others in Italy, Rome must be predominantly Roman Catholic. Before the arrival of the Christians in Rome, the Religio Romana was the major religion of the city in classical antiquity. If you interested in old buildings, visit the Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica. And don’t forget to visit Rome's cathedral, the Basilica of St. John Lateran, located to the south-east of the city-centre. You can find about 900 churches in Rome in total, aside from the cathedral itself.

One of the most famous symbols of Rome is the Colosseum (70–80 AD), the largest amphitheatre ever built in the Roman Empire. Originally capable of seating 60,000 spectators, it was used for gladiatorial combat. Public parks and nature reserves also cover a large area in Rome. While many villas were destroyed during the building boom of the late 19th century, some great parks remain. One of them is Villa Borghese garden.

 

This garden is well-know for its famous art galleries. Rome also has a number of regional parks such as Pineto Regional Park and the Appian Way Regional Park. If you want to take photos, visit Trevi Fountain in Trevi rione. It’s a largest Baroque fountain and one of world’s famous fountain with height 26 metres!

Enjoy your lunch with “Spaghetti alla carbonara,” a spaghetti with bacon, eggs, and pecorino. It’s really delicious cuisine from this city!

Today, Rome is one of the most important tourist destinations of the world, due to its archaeological and artistic treasures, for the charm of its unique traditions, the beauty of its panoramic views, and the majesty of its "villas" (parks).
