Rome Luxury Vacations

Rome Travel Guide

Empires may have fallen, and leaders have come and gone but Rome remains. The Eternal City is a living museum that is a dream to explore - ancient ruins, artistic splendor, speedy Vespas and delicious gelato are all collected in a dizzying array in the breathtaking metropolis. Rome is both a contemporary city with modern style and a proud witness to its historical legacy.

Rome is an incredible city and a feast for the luxury vacation. Locals seem to whiz by in chaotic traffic but visitors often pause to take it all in. From magnificent sculptures decorating every street corner to playful fountains sprawling across charming piazzas, Rome is a thriving masterpiece of Renaissance masters and a Baroque flair. For almost 1,000 years Rome was the wealthiest and most powerful city in the Western world and has the well-preserved ruins to prove it. Each district of Rome has its own alluring characteristics, from sacred chapels to grand museums to high-fashion shoppping to the Colosseum. There simply is no other city on Earth quite like Rome.

History buffs will delight in Ancient Rome at the Colosseo, home to the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Capitoline and its museums. As with all of the hotspots, it can be breezed through in a day, or explored in a week or even a month and you still wouldn't have seen it all. From here the city glides into the picturesque plazas and cathedrals of Old Rome, the center of the Roman medieval ages and Renaissance. After a sumptuous lunch in a trattoria, stroll through the winding streets around the Pantheon and Piazza Navona and discover the city that inspired Michaelangelo and Raphael.

The Vatican is next, as the center of the Roman Catholic Church and the Papal City State. It's not only a destination for religious pilgrims, the Vatican is an incredible treasure abundant with sights, relics, museums and of course, St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel. Move into the north of Rome and you'll discover the elegance and style of Campo Marzio-Parioli-Salario, a district that sprawls across Rome's northern limits. The exquisite neighborhoods of Spagna and Parioli are some of the most fashionable and well-heeled districts in the Eternal City. The upscale streets spill into beautiful landmarks like the Spanish Steps and the magnificent Villa Borghese.

Strolling south back into the center of it all is the Modern Center, a neighborhood filled with luxury hotels and chic boutique hotels overlooking stunning piazzas and lively shopping streets. Here you'll find the iconic Trevi Fountain and the incomparable Piazza della Repubblica. The Via Veneto is considered the most handsome street in all of Rome (and that's saying something) and offers a delightful assortment of bistros, bars, and fine dining selections. The fragrant sweet basil weaves through the street, mingling with the soft violin playing on the corner and the chinking of wine glasses toasting another fine day in Rome. It's here that you'll discover Fellini's immortal city and the land of la dolce vita Before you leave, remember to toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain as a promise that you'll return to Rome once more.
