When in Rome...
|
Where to stay For uberchic contemporary style, then you must go to the Aleph where the theatrical red and black glossy décor is sure to wow you. If you want peace and quiet head out of town towards the coast. The stunning La Posta Vecchia will steal your heart with its period style and views out to the sea. |
| Where to eat Although Rome is stuffed with fine dining opportunities, some of our favourite places to eat are the slightly battered family-run trattorie and osterie which spill out on to busy pavements during the warmer months. Look for somewhere off the beaten track and where the locals eat and you really can't go wrong. Visit the Dining page for more ideas and advice on the best restaurants in Rome » |
| Where to go If it's your first time in Rome you absolutely must visit the historic sights. You'll be starstruck by the Pantheon, the Coliseum and the Vatican. But don't forget the iconic Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain, made famous by Fellini's movie La Dolce Vita. For a comprehensive guide to 'must-see' places in Rome, visit our Explore page » |
Where to shop For a touch of tradition - and in Italy, hand-made, artisanal products are still worth their weight in gold - head for Rome's flea markets. You'll also be able to pick up interesting souvenirs, designer fakes and forged masterpieces. Our Shopping page has lots more advice on the best places to shop in Rome » |
