Best of Rome

Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Rome
On a trip through Italy, be sure at least one road leads you to Rome. The longtime center of the powerful Roman Empire is home to nearly 3,000 years of architecture and history, including some of Italy’s top attractions. But even if the Classics aren’t for you, Italy’s largest city is perpetually evolving, with extensive opportunities for cultural and culinary experiences beyond the tourist track to get a taste of the vibrant local life that pulses through the capital.

For a first visit, many travelers start off by stepping back in time at the must-see attractions: the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican. Beyond the highlights, kimkim travelers have loved experiences such as strolling up Gianicolo Hill followed by sunset aperitivos in the bohemian Trastevere neighborhood, meeting locals and sampling wines just south of the city in Frascati, or biking along the ancient Appian Way. However you spend your time here, the Eternal City is certain to not disappoint.
