Weekends in Rome

A visit to Rome offers Europe's most evocative destination and a visual treat for all, even those with little interest in history. Full of iconic monuments and inspiring ruins, a Rome weekend provides the romance of the ancient past, the buzz of its vibrant piazzas and that special continental style and attitude. Very few visitors can resist the lure of the vast Coliseum, the tradition of the Vatican or the glamour of the Spanish Steps. Rome weekends will enjoy a fabulous standard of hotel accommodation suitable for every budget, from sumptuous five star luxury hotels to comfortable guest houses oozing Roman character and charm right in the heart of the city.

 

Rome Weekends - Enjoy the colourful, vibrant squares of Rome 

The vibrant character of Rome life and its colour is best experienced in its historic city squares that show cosmopolitan life at its richest. Take a stroll across beautiful Piazza Navona, toss a coin into the fountain and make a wish in the world famous Piazza di Trevi or simply relax with a coffee and while away the hours in charming Piazza di Poppolo - the scene of many outdoor events and festivities. This offers the perfect way to dine alfresco with a bowl of pasta and enjoy the warm Roman sunshine. It is also the most rewarding and accessible way to mix and socialise with local people. 

Long Weekends in Rome - Unbelievably evocative art                         

The opulent museums and palaces of Rome house some of the most iconic artworks in the world and are more than a match artistically for the city's breathtaking architecture. No visit should miss the art riches of the Vatican or the ancient frescoes and sculptures of the National Museum. Stand in awe in front of era defining works by Michelangelo and Raphael. Just as artistic are the many beautifully landscaped parks and gardens in the city that provide a restful experience away from the tourist crowds. A short break to Rome will allow you to enjoy the colourful blooms and hedgerows of Parco del Celio or Vila Borghese, a popular beauty spot filled with fountains and sculptures. Both offer wonderful views across the city.
