About Rome

Ancient ruins sit unfenced in the middle of everyday traffic, and that collision of the classical and the ordinary is what makes Rome unlike anywhere else. The historic centre is dense enough to walk between the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Vatican in a single day, but it's also chaotic, loud and heaving with tour groups at every major site. The food, unsurprisingly, is as good as its reputation.
