Without doubt one of the most inspiring and charismatic cities in the world which, once visited, will leave you wanting more. Follow the custom of testing your sincerity by putting your hand into the Mouth of Truth, or throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain - one certain method of ensuring you return to this Eternal City. The Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum are the best preserved buildings of the Roman Empire, but you will find many more which would be the highlight of any other city! After a thousand years of rule by the Popes, Rome has an unrivalled collection of churches filled with artistic and ecclesiastical treasures, led by St.Peters and the exquisitely decorated Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. The beautiful open spaces of Rome include the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo, Villa Borghese and Piazza Venezia.
