Rome is the classic European city break. With wonderful food, ancient sites, stunning vistas and balmy weather for most of the year, the Italian city offers something for every type of traveller – whether you're looking for a romantic weekend, a half-term break with the kids or a culture-filled solo trip. |

A first visit to the Eternal City really ought to include all the main tourist sights, including the Colosseum, Pantheon, Vatican and the Trevi Fountain. But the beauty of this city is that once you've ticked off the famous spots, there are so many other lesser-known neighbourhoods to be discovered. This year is going to be a big one for Rome: 2025 is a Holy Year, which means that visitor numbers will likely swell by millions. So if you want to escape the bustle and explore away from the crowds, read on for some inspiration. |
