Rome

Rome,” the Eternal City “where the modern and present go side by side. It will surprise you with all it has to offer as you explore Rome let us help you in planning for that perfect Rome Holiday!
To find the right hotel near restaurants and shops, began by studying the maps of Rome ahead of time. It wil make the city more manageable by breaking it into smaller bites. Because Rome is so big, some of its sections seem like little cities of their own.
Driving in Rome is not recommended. Taxis are the most expensive way to get around but are far easer then any other city transportation. Taxis will pick you up at the taxi stand, that you can find in all the main piazzas. If you phone for a taxi to pick you up at your hotel, beware, the meter starts running when it is summoned. Ancient Rome is a good place to start your tour.The Forum, Colosseum and Nero’s Golden House, Circus Maximus, Campo dei Flori and the Pantheon are located here.
If you need to stop for a lunch break the Campo de Flori has food shops and cafes. As you enjoy your cafe you will see and feel the vibrancy of this cosmopolitan city. Rome enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate which is characteristic of the Mediterranean cost of Italy.
