There's a different kind of Rome waiting for you when tackling these ancient hills. You can do all the regular touristy stuff like ruin-pandering and picnics under the umbrella, but if you really want to get in touch with this old city, try wading through some thigh-deep puddles after heavy rain or getting chased by street dogs while dodging cars. Or you can just do the touristy stuff. Whatever it is, don’t forget to take our your cameras!

In just a few hours, your stomach will be satisfied and your mind blown.

The Spanish Steps are a mix of Roman and Renaissance architecture. The steps connect the Roman Forum with the Piazza di Spagna, a baroque creation by 17th-century architect Alessandro Galilei that dazzles with pink marble and carvings from great sculptures including Michelangelo.

With a history that is as old, as it is inspiring, you have to ask yourself—is there anything the Pantheon isn’t good for? We think not. The dome of this ancient monument has welcomed plenty of conquerors and merchants, artists and architects. It has been besieged by barbarians and turned into a theatre before being vaulted with one of the most beautiful domes ever built.

The Piazza Navona is an open plaza lightly sprinkled with cafés and bistros and fountains. At first glance, it seems crowded, but wait a few seconds — no one’s in a hurry here. Whether you want to grab a coffee right now or love people-watching as much as we do, this is the spot for your most captivating observations!

Preparing for your time in Vatican City? Well, make sure you pack the essentials. Bring a map, because there are hidden grottos, gardens, and private churches all around this country that may even make an appearance during one of the many ceremonies you'll see Pope Francis bless while he's over at The Holy Seat. And don't forget about your passports! Passports are required to enter Vatican City, so get them ready to go before packing up if it didn't happen already!

The Tiber River is a must-see if you find yourself in Rome. From St Peter’s Basilica, walk along the river until you come to the Borghese Gallery.
