Hotels in Rome

When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Gorge on delicious gelatos, feast in the Campo de’ Fiori Market, find the best pizza places, and unwind with an ‘aperitivo’. But if you are visiting Rome for the first time, it is understandable that you wish to see the city’s top sites and attractions. Here is a list of what should not be missed on your first Roman holiday.

• Visit the 2000-year old Pantheon, one of the most famous landmarks in Rome. It’s known for its perfect proportions created as early as in 120 A.D.
• Book a guided tour of Vatican City and get fascinating insights into the world’s smallest independent city-state. Pay your respects at the Basilica di San Pietro (St. Peter’s Basilica), wander through the treasures of the Vatican Museums, and check out the awe-inspiring frescos of Michelangelo on the walls and ceilings of the Sistine Chapel.
• Head to the Campo de’ Fiori markets during the mornings to look at some of the freshest produce, flowers and food stalls. At night, watch this plaza transform into a vibrant party place.
• Wander around and appreciate the fine architecture of stunning historic churches such as Santa Maria della Vittoria, Basilica di San Clemente, and San Luigi dei Francesi. The latter also displays a large collection of artist Caravaggio’s paintings.
• Visit the Musei Capitolini (Capitoline Museums), the world’s first public museum, where you can learn about Roman history through art, artifacts and sculptures. To add something quirky or unusual to your trip, check out the Piccolo Museo Del Purgatorio (Museum of the Holy Souls in Purgatory ) or Museo Nazionale delle Paste Alimentari (National Museum of Pasta Foods.
• Admire masterpieces such as Canova’s ‘Venus Victrix’, Bernini’s sculptures ‘David’ and ‘Apollo and Daphne’, Caravaggio’s ‘Boy with a Basket of Fruit’ and ‘David and Goliath’ at the Galleria Borghese, a half-villa half-museum with resplendent gardens.
• Circle the Colosseum, inside and out, for incredible insights into ancient Roman life.
• Click postcard-worthy pictures at the alluring Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Steps). Enjoy fine city views from the top of the steps. Also visit the 16th-century Trinità dei Monti church, and Obelisco Sallustiano, a Roman obelisk at the top of the steps.
• Go on a shopping spree at the scores of small, designer boutiques on Via Condotti, a chic and fashionable street at the foot of the Spanish Steps.
• Lounge around at the Piazza Navona and enjoy a drink or meal at the scores of eateries and cafés housed within the plaza.
